you were laying in your bed that tea  was really good and you got to sleep quite early in the day so you were up rather early still didn't really wanna move yourself in bed because it was warm, but you heard a knock on the door and then another one, and then some grumbling from behind which you recognize the voice immediately
"Brad...? as if he could hear you then you realize just so stupid you sound you pull yourself out of bed and brush your hand for your hair trying to make yourself look manageable. The last thing you want is for him to make fun of your hair.

you go to your closet and quickly throw something on once you dressed you make your way over to the door and open it there a slightly annoyed looking Brad stands damp with the morning rain.
he huffs as he walks inside not even asking for permission first.
"took you long enough. I thought it was going to get soaked out there.
I readjust the coat on my shoulders. It was the first thing that I threw on as I ask.
"why are you here? How do you even know where I live? Should I be concerned about this?"
Brad looks less than pleased, but he responds back
"my dad said I had to apologize for the way I was acting was in the hospital.. and he gave me your location so I could come over and apologize myself. It's stupid I know and I didn't wanna do it myself, but he made me do it he put a child safety code on my computer and he won't take it off until I apologize to you so let's get this over with as quick as possible so I don't have to do this for that long. "
You walk over to the bathroom getting a warm towel and wrapping it around Brad's shoulders he seemed a little bit surprised but protest against the towel. He goes and sits on your bed saying.
"but yeah, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I was acting. I mean what I said about the sword what I said about you... I know I've been a jerk to use this entire time. I don't know why you kept coming back. Honestly I didn't deserve for anyone to come back to me. I mean Mom left a while ago.. I almost hurt my dad getting the stupid sword!  for God sake, I hurt you too. I've been nothing but destructive to this entire town and yet people still care about me. I hate so much. I don't know what they find me. I'm no-"
You cut him off softly, taking his hand that's surprised him enough just stop his talking. He looks like you in confusion is gay. What were you doing but you just gave his hand soft squeeze.
"what you did back there it was in the past you have a chance to change now.. but if you don't change or try to, at least then it shows you've grown no better than from the start.. I know it's hard and I know sometimes the voice is still out to you. I can hear them too. I have three swords now pretty cool.. but you're not nothing. You have people that care for you. And I know your dad would be worried sick if he heard you talk like that..". Brad's eyes wide in a little he wasn't expecting you out of everyone to comfort him his eyes go a little glossy as he says
"you really mean that you're not just saying that to look all hero like.?"
you smiled softly at him, reassuring him again
"I promise you it's not just an act."

For the next few minutes, you would just sit on the bed you wouldn't talk, but you just sat silently in each other's presence .  there was something so comforting about just sitting there. There was no defined idea on what anyone needed to do. It was just a nice peaceful sitting session the sound of the buzzing of the heater was the only thing that could be heard besides the quiet sound of breathing.
You turn back to him and say
"you should probably get going back before your dad starts to worry about you."
you look back at you and says
"I guess so... you know you're not that bad yourself but don't let it get to your head. You're still a punk..!" he laughed
You roll your eyes and laugh back
"whatever you say nerd!"
He rolled his eyes, laughing as he flips you off, walking outside as he quickly used his arms to shield, his head, sprinting back into the forest ..
maybe he wasn't such a bad guy after all
