Big bros vs. Sleepy Baby bro

Chapter 25

Branch is working through his inventory with Clay.

His older brother had wanted to see everything he has for any emergency and he agreed.

While they worked, Branch relaxed, he's always loved going through his emergency supplies, it relaxes him.

Clay was quick to take notice of Branch relaxing and he smiled, "So, you like doing this?"

Branch nodded, "Mhm! It's relaxing, and I get to make sure I have everything I need in case of emergencies!"

Clay watched as Branch's eyes became a brighter blue.

He smiled, "It calms you down? That's kinda cute.."

Branch huffed at him, "You guys think everything I do is cute."

He thought for a moment then nodded, "Yeah, that's true."

Branch rolled his eyes but chuckled, "It's kinda funny watching you guys run around, catering to my every beck and call."

He smirked, "So you do like being babied?"

"What? No! Well..maybe some times..but only some times! Because you guys are actually crazy." Branch said.

Clay nodded, "Okay, I guess that's fair.."

Branch giggled, "But it is funny when you guys trip over eachother to see who gets to me first.."

He smiled, "You know, you laugh at us for adoring you, but we have adorable stories about you. Plus, we get to see your face more then usual. We get to see you get sleepy, your cute little smiles! We get to learn more about you. The best part is, you didn't even notice it until just now, did you?"

Branch puffed his cheeks, "No..." he mumbled.

He laughed, "Come on, bud. The others might actually try to bite me if I try and keep you all to myself."

Branch sighed but allowed Clay to lead him back to the others.

He flopped face down on his couch and pouted.

Clay sighed and rubbed his back, "Branch, come on...I'm sorry.."

Branch mumbled into the couch.

"What was that?"

Branch looked up at him, "I said that, you will be sorry."

Clay took a few steps back and hid behind Bruce who laughed at him.

After a few moments, Branch yawned.

JD smiled, "Sleepy?"

He shook his head, "Nope."

Floud sat next to him and rubbed his back, "Just go to sleep, Branch.."

Branch quickly thought of ways to get out of this, and he had a great idea!

"I wanna hear stories from when I was little!"

Clay squealed and picked him up, spinning him around and quickly beginning to tell him a story, "There was this one time when you..."

Branch wins.
