Never Expected (a Chandler Riggs/Grayson Riggs fanfic)

Another near death expirence

2 weeks later...
Grayson's POV
"Do you want to talk about it Daniel?"
"There's nothing to talk about Grayson. Two weeks ago I "technically" helped those robbers escape."
"You were held as a hostage, there was nothing you could do."
"I know that. It was life or death. It's a good thing that they caught the guys that robbed that bank."
"I'm sorry that happened to you Daniel."
"So am I. But there is something else I'd like to talk to you about."
"What is it?"
"Have you been wondering why I kind of smelled like makeup for the past week?"
"Yeah."
"Well--"
"You started cutting again, didn't you?"
I watched Daniel hang his head in shame.
"Let me see them."
"I'll be right back. I'm going to go remove the makeup."
"All right."

3 minutes later...
Daniel had returned and instantly he showed me all of the new cuts he had made, and I was shocked at how deep some of them were.
"Daniel. I know that you were upset about what transpired two weeks ago, but why'd you go and cut yourself?"
"Because..."
"Because why?"
"I'm getting tired of living."
"Daniel! You've been suicide free for a long time. Please don't start again. Please."
"What's the point? Life's just a chapter of goodbyes anyway."
"Daniel. If you end your life, what are you're children going to say? What are they going to do if they don't have a father anymore? This is going to sound bad but, what if they decide to come join you? What are you going to do then? I know that your children don't want to grow up without a father. Who's going to play catch with your son? Who's going to go to your daughter's ball? Your children will be very disappointed if you're not there for them. They need you, just as much as you need them. If you go through with this, you'll be hurting a lot of people, and some of them will never forgive you for what happened. So please Daniel, as your brother I'm asking you to reconsider the decision you're about to make. I don't want to lose you, and neither does anyone else. You've been an awesome brother to me and Chandler, even if there have been some negative moments. You've been a wonderful father to your children and I'm sure that they're very proud of you, and I'd like to say that they're very lucky to have such an amazing father."
"Do you really mean that?"
"Yes."
Daniel sighed.
"All right, I'll reconsider my decision." Daniel stated.
"For now." Daniel whispered."
"What was that? I heard you whisper something?"
"It was nothing, ok! So quit badgering me!"
"Well, sorry for trying to help out a brother!"

5 minutes later...
Daniel's POV
Grayson and I had just finished our argument, and we were still calming down from all of our shouting.
I sighed and walked over to Grayson. I placed my hand on his right shoulder, and he immediately turned around and pushed me away.
"STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME, YOU FUCKING BITCH!"
"Grayson, I'm sorry for saying all of those negative statements. We were both angry and we both said things that we didn't mean."
"IF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF MY SIGHT RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET IT! I DON'T NEED YOUR SYMPATHY!"
I sighed, but stayed where I was.
"Grayson you got to calm down. I said I was sorry. What else do you want from me? I bet if I shot myself in the head right now you wouldn't even care."
"SERIOUSLY DANIEL? Talking about suicide like that won't help me calm down!"
"Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry. I'll just...I'll just go and let you calm down."

10 minutes later...
I had reentered Grayson's room to see how he was doing and he was just sitting on the right side of his bed, with his head buried in his hands.
"Grayson? Is everything all right?"
"Close the door."
I closed the door and walked over to Grayson.
"I recognize the tone you're using Grayson, so show me them."
Grayson revealed his arms to me but they had no cuts on them.
"You should know that I would never harm my body."
"I know, but I just had to be sure."
"And I appreciate your concern. I'm sorry we had that stupid argument Daniel. I didn't mean any of it. Even when I did say that "I wish that you had plummeted to your death."
"And I'm sorry as well. We both said lots of things that we regret."
"You're not going to snap my neck are you?"
I used my thumb and middle finger to grasp some of the skin from Grayson's neck and snapped my fingers.
"That's not what I meant, but I appreciate the fact that you were trying to lighten up my mood."
"First off you're welcome, and secondly you already know that I wouldn't hurt you."
"Well you did when you said that if I pissed you off again that you would snap my neck. I'm afraid of you Daniel. I'm actually afraid of you. What if one of these days you actually kill me? What would you do then? Kill yourself? Live happily ever after? Kill Chandler and our parents as well? Tell me. If you were to snap my neck and succeeded in killing me...what would you do?"
"I'd sell my soul to revive you."
"For real?"
"For real." I stated. "I know I said that I would snap your neck if you pissed me off, and I know I never should've, even out of anger, and I'm sorry that I did, but I didn't mean it. You're my brother Grayson."
"But aren't we technically in a relationship since we've been making out some days."
"I guess, but last time we made out we went too far. If this keeps up we may actually turn into a gay couple. And there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that I like girls and I'm sure you do too. So maybe it's time to stop these crazy sessions and go hunting."
"If that's what you want."
"It is."
"Ok. Well, let's go hunting. Right now."
"Ok, I'll meet you outside. Just don't keep me waiting too long."
