We arrived back home, Hannah went straight to her room while Oliver just winked at me then went to my room. I walked to the living room and saw Justin laying down on the couch while watching TV. I jumped on his stomach then he grunted.

“What the fuck?” He cursed as he gasps for air.

“I'm back." I smiled at him then laid down next to him.

“You’re gonna fall.”

“Then sit up.” He rolled his eyes and we both sat up. “What do you want?”

“Oliver told me everything.” His eyes widen. “And I'm really happy and proud to call you as my brother.” I hugged him and he started crying as he hugged me, I started crying too. “You could have just talked to me like a normal person you idiot.”

“I'm not a normal person, remember?” We both laughed then pulled away, wiping our tears.

“Who are you working for?”

“Is this an investigation? Where's the swinging lights? Gonna tell me where is she?” He lightens up the mood. “I’m working for Mr. Jackson Chrome.”

“You mean the CEO of a 5 star hotel? The owner of Chrome Hotel?”

“That’s the one.”

“How did you get that job?”

“I didn't know that he was the one who interviewed me and I told him how I'm still in college and I'm supporting you guys and told them our situation then he told me that I can work for him part time but I have to finish college first then I can work for him in full time.”

“So basically he's your sugar daddy for giving you allowance every month while doing some work for him?”

“Technically I'm working for it so it's a job.”

“Right, keep telling that to yourself.” We both laughed. “I’m really proud to say that you are my brother.” I smiled at him then kissed his cheek. “I'm gonna make your favorite dish tonight.” I stood up and walked to the kitchen.

“Thanks Leo!” Justin shouted from the living room. I prepared the ingredients then a pair of arms wrapped around me.

“Hello there.” Oliver whispered making me shiver. “What are you making?”

“Justin's favorite, my own version of beef steak.” I felt his chin on my head and I just continue preparing then started cooking. I just let him watch.

“It smells amazing.” He kissed the top of my head. “But your smell is the best.”

“Are you saying that I stink?” I said with a fake insulted voice.

“What? No! That's not what I meant.” He hugs me tighter.

“I know, I was just playing with you.” I laughed then he lets me go. I turn around and saw him pouting. “Come here big baby.” I opened my arms and he lowers himself then hugs me. “It’s okay.” I patted his back then lets him go but he just hugs me, I try to turn around and he loosen up the grip to let me turn back around and continue watching me make dinner.

“I should have known.” I heard Justin's voice. “Save space for Jesus.”

“No, you're just jealous that I'm hugging someone and that someone is your brother.”

“I’m not jealous.” He defended. “I’m irritated how you always cling on my brother.”

“Didn't you invited your boss today?”

“Wait, is that today? Holy shit.”

“I'm joking, it's tomorrow.”

“You invited your boss?” I asked as I turn off the stove.

“Well I may or may not exchanged phone numbers with him because I'm his secretary and I may or may not agreed that he can eat with us because he wants to meet you all.”

“You’re lucky that tomorrow's Thursday and not Friday.” I rolled my eyes then I motioned Oliver to help me prepare the table. “Call Hannah that dinner is ready.” I told Justin which he just looked at me.

“Fine.” He huffed like a little kid then went to Hannah's room. Hannah and Justin came back then helped us a bit to set the table. I looked at Hannah who looked like she was crying. She looked at me then shook her head. I just looked at her.

“Fine. Justin, the creep texted me with my friend's phone which he stole and I thought I was meeting up with my friend but he showed up but Oliver and Leo arrived just in time to help me. There are you happy?” Hannah looked at me.

“Very.” I told her.

“That fucker is going to be dead.”

“What if your boss sees you?”

“Who says that I'm the one who's doing it?”

“You're good, just be untraceable then you'll be golden.” I told him then continue eating.

“Your cooking is still the best.” Justin changed the topic making Hannah comfortable.

“Of course, Leo's the best.” Oliver inserted himself.

“Well duh, his sister is the best that taught him how to cook.” Hannah replied. We just looked at her. “Whatever.”

“Love you Hannah.” I smiled at her which made her smile.

“Love you too Leo.”

“What about me?” Justin asked.

“What about you?” Hannah and I jokingly said. Oliver chuckled which made Justin stomped on his foot. Oliver just glared at Justin who just smiled at him.

We finished eating then Hannah and Justin took the dishwashing duty. Oliver and I went to my room but I pushed him out telling him that I'm going to change my clothes. I closed the door then started stripping then put on some comfortable pajamas. I opened the door and looked at Oliver

“You’re so adorable.” Oliver pinched my cheek then he took my hand then we went to my bed. “Today has been all over the place.”

“Tell me about it.” I sighed. “It’s been a rollercoaster but I had fun.” I squeeze his hand. “I had fun with our date.” I told him then kissed his cheek. “Thank you.” His face turn red then he smiles.

“Anything for my teddy bear.” He lets go of my hand then hugs me. “I like you a lot.”

“I like you too.” He kissed my forehead then everything gets heavy. “I’m going to sleep.” I yawned as I tell him.

“Let’s go to sleep then.” He turns off the lamp then turns back to me. “Good night Leo.”

“Good night Oliver.” I closed my eyes as I lose my consciousness.

I heard whispering but I didn't open my eyes. “You need to stop this. He's just a kid, he has been through enough.” I heard Justin's voice.

“You know I can't do that.” Oliver replied.

“Yes you can and you will.”

“I can't.” Oliver said softly.

“I won't support you anymore if you continue this and I will tell him myself.”

“You can't do that.”

“Why? Because he really likes you? You shouldn't fucking do it then.” This is the second time I heard my brother this angry.

“What the fuck are you guys talking about? You know I heard you since the fucking beginning and you two have a lot of explaining to do.” I can't remain silent anymore and turn around then saw darkness. My eyes widen as I saw a huge Oliver towering me.

“I’m done with you.” I heard his voice getting louder each word. I started running away but the words keep repeating in my head.

“Leo. Leo. Leo!” I opened my eyes and gasped for air. I looked around and saw Oliver looking at me with wide teary eyes. “Leo are you okay?” He hugs me and I hugged him back. I felt tears flowing down on my face as I started sobbing I felt his hands on my back, with an up and down motion. “It’s okay, it's just a dream. It's not real.” I heard him whisper and he keeps repeating it over and over again until I calm down. “You don't have to tell me, I'm always here for you. Okay?” I nodded and released a huge sigh of relief.

“Thank you Oliver.”

“No problem Leo, I'm always here.” I felt my body getting tired. “You can sleep, I'll tell Justin and Hannah that you couldn't sleep.” We laid back down and he hums a song which made me go back to sleep.

I woke up and saw Oliver beside me snoring lightly. I poked his face and he scrunched his nose and opened his eyes. “Hello there sleeping beauty.” He kissed my forehead. “Ready to start the afternoon?”

“Yeah, I need to get some groceries.” I told him. “So get out since I'm gonna take a shower and put on some clothes.”

“I can always watch.” I just looked at him making him leave my room. I did my thing and when I left the room Oliver wasn't there. I walked to the living room and saw him talking to Justin. “Hi.” I said softly.

“Hi, I heard what happened. Are you okay?” Justin asked as he walks towards me and hugged me.

“I’m okay now, Oliver helped me sleep.” I hugged him back and looked at Oliver. “I need to get some groceries.”

“Say no more, I'll help you with that, Oliver can come.” Justin told me.

“Sure, let's go. Where's Hannah?”

“She’s with Christine, don't worry I drove her there.” I made a sigh of relief. “Come on, we don't have time to stand here and chat. I have to impress my boss.”

“Well I have to impress your boss since I'm the one who's doing the cooking.” The three of us started walking to Justin's car and got in. The drive was silent and when we got to the groceries nothing happened, just some childish games from Oliver and Justin then they made puns of all the products that they can see then we got back home. By the time we got home I started preparing the meal since it's 5:20 PM and mister Chrome is coming by 6.

“What the hell are you wearing?” I told Justin who dressed up like he's going to a prom date. “Go wear something casual.” I told him which he groans and just went to his room. I looked at Oliver who was looking at me smiling. “Set the table, please.” He did what I said and when the food and table was set the doorbell rang.

I heard Justin running to the door, I heard a mumble of words then they entered the kitchen slash dining room. Justin came with a tall, muscular, handsome man next to him. “Hi, I'm Jackson Chrome, you can call me Jackson.” He smiled at me and Oliver.

“I’m Leo, Justin's brother, and this is Oliver Waters, Justin's best friend. Please take a seat.” He just smiled then walked to the seat. I looked at Justin and gave him the huge eyes then looked at the table that he should sit next to him. Justin did that while Oliver and I sat next to each other. “Sorry for the small room.” I softly chuckled.

“It’s okay. It really feels like home in here.” He told us. I looked at Justin who started talking to his boss while I hold Oliver's hand.

“I hope he likes the food.” I whispered to Oliver and he just smiled.

“He’ll be surprised.” He whispered back and when Justin motioned to taste the food, Jackson ate the food and he smiled.

“The food is phenomenal.” He commented.

“Thank you very much, it's the least I could do.” I replied.

“You’re lucky to have a brother like him.” He said to Justin who just smiled.

“I am really lucky to be his brother.” Oliver and I smiled then started eating. From time to time Jackson asked me and Oliver some questions but most of the time he's talking with Justin. They looked like two best friends that just got reunited for a long time. I motioned my eyes to Oliver who just nodded. I'm guessing Jackson has a little crush on my brother but I won't say anything.

“Well look at the time. I had a great time with you guys.” He said casually dropping the formalities.

“We did too.” Justin replied. “I'll walk you out.” He offered which they stood up.

“I’ll be going now, good night to the both of you and be safe.” Jackson said.

“Good night to you too and drive back home safe. Take care.” I replied then Jackson and Justin left. “That was interesting.”

“Tell me about it. Never knew Justin would find his soulmate this early.”

“Me neither, but fate does crazy stuff.” Oliver and I started doing the dishes then Justin started walking to the kitchen the hugged me from behind.

“Thank you very much.” He squeezed me. “He likes the two of you and asked if you two are in a relationship, I told him that you two are dating and he's totally cool with it. Now he said that he'll look forward working with me and he complimented my clothes.” He told us.

“See, I told you that wearing something formal in your own house is stupid. He wasn't even dressed in formal, he's wearing designer's clothes but still casual.” I told him as I finished washing the dishes and Oliver wiping the plates I gave him.

“You’re the best brother, ever.” He squeezes me again then heads to his room.

“He doesn't know that Jackson likes him.” Oliver said.

“He’s oblivious.” I told him then looked at him. “Wanna watch some movies?”

“Sure, let's go.” I received a letter that Hannah would be staying over at Christine’s place and I replied back with an okay. “Who’s that?”

“Hannah, she's staying over Christine's.” I told him, we laid back in bed and opened my laptop. We watch Shrek trilogy and Little Mermaid.

“I really hate Prince Eric, he looks hot but he's stupid.”

“Don't be harsh on yourself.” I told him which made him looked at me, blushing. “You’re so cute.” I kissed his cheek then turn off the laptop and charged it and my phone.

“You can't go to sleep after telling me that I'm Prince Eric. I'm clearly Flynn Ryder.”

“Then I'm Rapunzel. The two of us are royalty.” I told him.

“Wait, Eugene was a prince?”

“He is, you haven't watched the series of Tangled? You're missing out. It's amazing.”

“Another series to watch together then.” He told me then kissed my forehead. “Are you going to sleep?”

“Yeah, I'm tired after dealing with your childish behavior earlier with Justin.”

“You call it childish but we call it entertainment.” He replied proudly.

“Of course my funny comedian.” I pinched his cheek the smiled. “Good night Oliver.”

“Good night Leo.”
