Flippy considered it for a few second and then he remembered when they met, his brother didn't looked very comfortable.

"... Nah, just the two of us will be great. When do you want to meet ? At lunch or so ? Wait what time is it again ?"

He ended his sentence with a weak laugh, moving to a sitting position on his bed, his hands searching for his alarm clock.

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

"It's still morning. How about we meet at your place at 11?"

He said and flippy agreed happily.

"Great, I'll be there. See you then!"

Fliqpy added as he hung up. He got up and started wandering around the room heading towards the shelf with his clothes. He decided to wear his camo pants and a black t-shirt. He realised his clothes were a little loose, so he grabbed a leather jacket and zipped it up to hide his shameful body.
He couldn't help it, he wasn't very hungry at all since a while. Actually... He realised he hasn't eaten almost anything since three weeks. Since the beginning of that last mission, except for sugar water and small snacks. Well, now wasn't the time to dwell on his looks, he couldn't care less about how he looked. To kill time he got down and did a few press ups, before laying down on his bed and listening to some music to kill the ugly thoughts in his head, that threatened to rise. Soon he looked at his watch - 10:28 - and decided it's time to head out. He walked through the streets taking his time, smoking a cigarette, and finally getting to his brother's house. He knocked on the door and waited for a response.

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

As soon as he heard the knock on the door, Flippy practically made a run for it. The door flew open as he greeted his brother with the biggest smile he could remember having, since months. He had to control himself to not hug tackle his brother, knowing how childish that was. He didn't want it to bother him either.
He knew they were apart only for a short while now, but it felt way longer, mostly because of the long night.

"Hey! Come in, come in bro!"

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

"Sure, thanks."

Fliqpy walked in and looked around. His parents greeted him and they each hugged him.
Flippy was just finishing getting ready as the three of them chatted for a bit.

"How is your new apartment?"

"Its good, I'm just looking for a job but I don't know what to do. "

He explained himself. Although him as well as Flippy both had quite large sums of money saved up from the army, he knew he needed to find a job soon and stabilise himself. They chatted about his new place for a while longer until Flippy came downstairs ready to go.

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

They left the house and started walking toward the town. Flippy felt happy. But in a way it felt a bit like he was lying to himself. He immediately pushed away these thoughts. He was with his brother, he was okay. Period.
He put his hands in the hoodie pockets. By habit, his right hand tightly grabbed the butterfly knife, he always kept on him, he didn't even notice when he started to do so.

"Do you have any place you want to go to ?"

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

"Not really, but I heard there's a new café in town. How about we grab a coffee there?"

Fliqpy said. He knew his brother liked coffee, with his terrible sleeping habits that he couldn't control. And honestly, he needed it too today.
Flippy nodded and they carried on walking. For some reason Flippy seemed tense, nervous. Of course, Fliqpy had his knife, that was in his pocket on his thigh as usual. He always had it with him, and he would always protect them if he had to. But why was his brother so... Off?
