Flippy And Fliqpy Roleplay!

SECTION 2: HOLIDAYS AT HOME Part 3

Flippy woke up very early next morning. The sun wasn't even up when his eyes suddenly opened.
He sat quickly, his gaze flying trough the room, panicked.
When he saw his sleeping brother, he calmed down a bit.
Everything was fine.
It was just a nightmare.
It's okay.
He concentrated, to calm his breathing, closing his eyes, chasing the lasts ribbons of the nightmare left in his mind.
He slowly got up, not wanting to disturb his brother.
He silently went down the stairs and prepared himself a coffee. He knew he won't be able to go to sleep after this.
The silence of the house calmed his nerves. He drank his coffee, leaning on the counter, waiting for the sun to come up and the house to wake up.

...............

Fliqpy woke up to the sunshine outside and realised he slept for longer than he has before. Seems he was exhausted yesterday. He saw his brother was gone, so he got up, put some day clothes on and walked downstairs towards the kitchen where he saw his brother and parents. They seemed to be having a fun morning.

"Morning Fliqpy sweetheart !"

His mum said when she saw him coming.

"Hey mum..."

He replied and took a glance at his smiling dad before exchanging a bumpfist with his brother.

"How was the movie yesterday boys ?"

Their dad asked and the two looked at each other and grinned.

"It was... Boring." Fliqpy replied and his brother chuckled.

"Yea, he carried me to bed !" Flippy added and their parents laughed a little too.

But then Fliqpy felt that urge to occupy himself with something, and as usual it would be training.

"I'm gonna go... For a walk." he said as he walked away from the others.

.............

Flippy quickly put his coffee cup down on the counter, a bit too roughly but he didn't notice it. Fortunately, after having been emptied and filled a bunch of times, Flippy had just finish the coffee before trying to catch up with his brother.

"Hey, mind if I join ?" He said, stepping outside just after Fliqpy.

"Want to do some running ? It'll be a shame if I get rusty after this week of break"

Flippy hoped he would say yes. Even if he didn't like running very much, he felt like his brother would be better if he had someone to walk or run with.

"Yes, if you're ready to train hard."

Fliqpy replied, he didn't really mind if his brother tagged along. He didn't know how different their stamina was at that moment.
The two started running towards the forest, along  the river and did a few miles before they got to an area with no trees. There fliqpy started doing his strength training and other activities. Flippy followed him and the two were exhausted by the time they finished. But Fliqpy wanted to do more running on their way home and Flippy had no choice but to agree.
However once again Fliqpy didn't feel so well. He was dehydrated again, and he knew he needed the water. Without it, his body was overheating and his heart was beating too fast. His muscles were hurting and cramping for a while now, and his face was pale, from the lack of food. At some point he fell over his own feet and landed rather unfortunately cutting his whole leg on pieces of glass.

..........

"Fliqpy !" Flippy screamed when he saw his brother fall.

He ran to his side and shook him a bit. When he saw his face drained from any kind of color, he bit his bottom lip. He composed himself and drew out a straight face.

"Don't move. You're not in shape."

He put his hand on his brother's chest to pin him down while he was trying to get up.

"You will only  be hurting yourself more if you move. I'm getting you back home. Don't protest and say you're okay, because you're obviously not."

He said with a very serious expression when he saw his bother angrily and weakly opening his mouth to protest, trying to get up.

Flippy tried to remember his lessons of first aids. He take off his t-shirt and wrapped it around the injury. Then he helped his brother up, with him leaning on Flippy, and headed home as fast as he could.
His mother opened to them and her face went pale when she saw Fliqpy. Their father got them inside and made Fliqpy lay down on the sofa. Their mother got band-aid and strapped it on the injury after disinfecting it. Their dad then gave Fliqpy a glass of water and a spoon of sugar. Flippy just stood aside, watching with worry in his eyes.
At one time, both of their foster parents got out of the room for different reasons. Flippy then sat on the floor next to the sofa.

"Why are you doing this ?"

he softly whispered after long seconds of silence.

"You don't have to. You don't have to train like that or starve yourself. So... Why ?"

..............

"I... Don't know...."

Fliqpy just barely whispered. He was trembling pretty badly, because of cold, blood loss and hunger. It's like his body gave up on him. He didn't want to tell his brother about how he felt after the last mission. He'd rather keep it to himself, and get stronger to be able to help him.
But he was still too weak.
He was too weak!
How could he be too weak?!
After all this work, training and suffering, he was still too weak ! Why ?!!!
He couldn't get his head around it! What was it that he was missing?! After a battle with his own thoughts he only laid there and looked at his brother.

"But... What would I do... Without you, huh..."

He raised his arm just for his brother to grab in a reverse handshake and he smiled a bit. But just a moment later Fliqpy's hand slipped from his grip as he lost consciousness.
