The brotherhood

Chapter 5: Recognised

I finally recovered after two days in the clinic. Danse had the brightest smile on his face when he saw me walk again, his smile and smirks kill me but he doesn't notice- I think.  When he saw me we spun around squishing each other, it became our tradition when we saw each other but todays it was special. We were standing in my room, the doctor gave us our privacy but suddenly...

"Hiro, I need to ask you something?" he asked my face burned I thought it would melt.                      "Danse is something wrong? you look like you have something to say." My heart lit up with hope, it looked like he had a hard time to speak out. I stared into his lime eyes, finally he speaks  "If this sounds weird stop me please. When I signed up for the brotherhood I felt like it was a favour," I pulled a confused look. As I was about to ask he carried on " you might be thinking why a favour? Well, when the bomb dropped I didn't have cover my family and girlfriend had ran off to a vault and I was still at our house. I was so scared, I didn't know what to do so I ran out and tried to find a vault until the leader of the brotherhood caught me and took me to their own bunker. I couldn't thank them enough so I dedicated my life to the brotherhood." I stared at his face, he looked like it took a lot out of him like he needed someone to comfort him. Before I knew it he pulled me in for a hug, It wasn't normal he meant it, It felt like when my dad hugged me when my first denial letter came through the door. Then, he started crying, I didn't know what to do but I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back. I laid him down on the bed, he squeezed the pillow, I patted him on the head and smiled. "that took a lot outta you didn't it?" I asked sympathetically, he nodded and sighed. "thank you for sharing, I appreciate it honestly. Do you wanna hear my story now?" he looked at me, interested. Soon enough I told him what happened when my parents died, I told it in so much detail it brought a tear to my eye and I was crying. I smiled through the tears But I remembered what my dad told me when he came back from the war. "I just remembered something my dad told me when I was younger when he came back from the war he told me something that his father told him when he came back from the war." Danse was intrigued, how does this guy make me helpless with a simple look. "he said 'you will come of age with our young nation,We'll bleed and fight for you, we'll make it right for you. If we lay a strong enough foundation we'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you and you'll blow us all away, Someday." 

By the time we had stopped talking about our stories it was night and we had multiple amounts of emotions. " should we go back to my place, unless you want to go back to your house taken my men had rebuilt your bed." Wait, did this guy just offer for me to stay at his house. I didn't know what to do but I panicked and said " we'll see if your men had rebuilt my house." what did I say, no I didn't want to say that, I was to used to saying that to other guys. " I..III.I ,"                          " Its okay trust me," Danse saw my face of regret, smirked and lead me outside. Suddenly, I heard a ringtone, "sorry I haft to take this be a sec!" Danse walked off looking back for split seconds. I placed my hand on my hip and pulled a sassy face, he knew I was joking since I probably looked stupid. I wander what going through that guys head sometimes, he's so open about his feelings but also has secrets, kind of like a mystery man but I'm the one that he trusts. While I'm daydreaming, Danse walks up to me with his prize winning smile. "well?" I ask                  "well, they haven't finished yet so you haven't got a place to stay so, with process of elimination, that leaves out my place. Shall we go then?" He asks with his hand drawn out             "we shall, Forward!" we laugh and start walking, talking and looking at each other deeply Into each others eyes.
