It was cold, he have been lonely for a long time, watching his father kill children like him and get away with the murders using the robot that was supposed to be a twin brother for him as an fake excuse to himself
There he was again, running after his father, trying to hug him and get consoled, but, when he got to him, his body passed through him, making him look over to William
"Daddy...!" The little boy extends his hand over to his only parent, sobbing in sadness as he walks away
The poor child knees on the ground and curls himself into the floor, crying to himself
Suddenly, he saw a shadow over him, it was tall and skinny, just like his father
"Daddy...?" He asked, looking up, but it was his fake self, looking down at him
"You look sad, little bro" He says coldly
"Daddy doesn't let me hug him" The Little boy sniffs, rubbing his eyes
"Want me to take care of you?" The robot asks, kneeing in front of him
"You can?" He asked, calming down a little
"I was built to make you company, be your brother" He got the little boy on his lap "Brothers are made to do that, right?"
"Hi little bro" Michael nuzzles Chris's hair, taking a shy smile from him as he softly pokes his nose
"Hi big brother" The younger puts his left arm on the table, pulling his sweater's right sleeve with it. He watches the older steal a candy from the pot, receiving a signal to stay quiet as he tries not to laugh, painting his little smile with a shy giggle under it
The boys' uncle, that was making breakfast, glances behind his back, catching Michael as he was about to open the candy, which makes Chris redden a little and his smile to disappear
"Michael Terrence Afton!" The man smiles as he turns around and sees the older boy freeze, slowly looking at him as he hides the candy on his pocket
"Yes, uncle Vincent?" Michael stutters, putting his hands behind his back, stealing another candy and putting it on his back pocket
"I saw you taking a candy from the pot, put it back!" Vincent leans into the kitchen countertop, crossing his arms, signalizing to pot on the countertop close to the table
The boy sighs, putting it back to it's place, as he turns around to get out of the house, he hears "Put the other back, Terrence"
Michael groans, turning around and putting the candy back, getting around the table, he hugs his brother from behind, nuzzling his hair and tickling him
"Mike, stop it!" Chris giggles, trying to push him away with his right hand, But it was in vain, the boy stopped giggling, just to look at his missing arm and sigh melancholically, trying hard not to cry
The older brother stopped tickling him, just to hug him tight, getting melancholic too
Vincent watches his nephews closely, sighing as he remembers what his brother did to his boys, luckily he was caught and sent to jail, the sad part was, Chris got PTSD from what he did and Michael got worsen on his personality disorder
Michael released the hug, kissing his sibling's head
"See ya later, Chris" He smiles, leaving the house, making the younger boy's shoulder to start getting tense and his anxiety kicking in
"Calm down, sweetie" The man gets closer, caressing his head and tying his right sleeve "everything is okay, you'll do great" he goes to the countertop, getting the boy's glasses
"What if I forget what I'm supposed to say? What if my schizophrenia starts kicking in? Or what if..." Chris stutters, trembling and gaging on his own words "if I have a panic attack in class?! What am I supposed to do?! If the voices start to talk to me?! What if dad–" The boy starts having a spasm attack, hyperventilating
"Hey! Hey! Calm down!" Vincent puts the glasses on the table, holding his nephew by the shoulders, looking deep inside his eyes, after a few seconds, he sighs "You're not ready to go back to school yet" he whispers, disappointed
"But, uncle Vincent–!" The spasms got even worse
"Come here, let's get your medicine and take a good nap" The man softly pulls the boy out of the chair, guiding him upstairs "I hope it helps a little"
