More Than One (a Septiplier au)

Wrong Move

The three boys were riding the bus home, Jack and Sean in the back while William sat at the front. Jack sat uncomfortablely because he couldn't tell Sean about what happened earlier that day. He shifted in his seat multiple times, clearly not being comfortable enough to stay in one spot.

Sean noticed his brothers uncomfortableness. He was seated behind Jack, which he promptly leaned forward and whispered, "What's wrong Jack?" into Jacks ear. Jack jumped in surprise and faced Sean.

"Nothing."

"Yeah right. You can't sit still. You never really sit still but you seem off. We tell each other everything."

Jack sighed at Seans words. He thought about coming up with a lie but he couldn't think of a believeable one. He looked at Sean with sad eyes. "Felix came up to William today and it looked like he was taunting him. I heard something about us before I asked him to go away. Im sorry Sean, William didn't want me to tell you." Jack said in a sad voice.

Sean leaned back into his seat and stared at the dirty grey floors of the bus. He had an angered face on. He was thinking about the best way to kill Felix without having to go to jail.

The bus rolled up to their bus stop and as usual, William was the first one off. He raced to get home and just when he was about to grab the door knob to their front door he heard :

"WILLY. YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE."

It was clearly Seans voice. He was the only person that would yell at him. He slowly turned around and saw a furious Sean storming his way to the house with a worried Jack following his trail. William quickly unlocked the front door and ran to his room leaving the front door wide open for his two brothers. He threw his backpack somewhere near the corner of his room and flopped down on his beige covers on his bed.

"WILLIAM GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" Sean screamed from the bottom of the stairs. William didn't even flinch. He didn't move off of his bed.

A couple minutes passed when he heard a knock on his door. It was Jack, shy and quiet, which was very unusual.

"I wanted to say im sorry for telling Sean. You know, it's hard trying to keep secrets from you guys." Jack gave a sad smile. "But anyways, Sean wants you downstairs. He said he will wait forever so you can't hide in here forever." And with that Jack left.

William sighed once again and rolled off his bed. He got up off of his floor and made his way to the stairs. He took a deep breath before walking slowly down the stairs. Once he was at the bottom he looked around for his brother. He spotted him laying down on the dark grey couch in the living room.

"Get over here please." Sean said quietly. William quickly made his way over to where his brother was. He took a seat on the other side of the couch Sean was on. William knew that he should have told Sean. Sean has almost every right to be mad. He knows better. He knows Sean won't let anything happen to him, and yet, he still feels like he shouldn't tell Sean a thing.

"All I want to know is why you thought it was a good idea to not tell me." Sean said not making eye contact with William. He was still laying down, his face facing the Tv which was currently turned off.

William stayed quiet for a moment. He was debating if he should tell Sean the truth or come up with a lie. "He came up to me and said 'your brother just made things a hell of a lot worse for you. This isn't the end of my charades. In fact. Its just the beginning. Now, tell your brother to back off before he gets himself in trouble."' William said. He decided with the truth because he knew that Sean would be able to tell if he was lying.

Sean looked at William with a angry face. "Ill be back." He said as he got up and practically stormed out of the house.

William was left alone. He didn't know what to do and he knew he couldn't control what Sean did. So William sat there when Sean left him, lost in thought.
