A loud crash startled and awoke Erik, who also fell from the couch he was previously lying on. He held the back of his head while groaning but was surprised when he opened his eyes.
He wasn't in his office.
Rather was in a familiar room, he couldn't point out where exactly but it was extremely familiar like he has lived there for awhile.
"You're what?"
Erik's heart jumped when he heard a familiar deep voice. He slowly turned around and spotted a younger Erik standing in front of a guy, who seemed rather disgusted by Erik, and shoved him away causing for Erik to stumble backwards and land on his butt. He lifted his head up and the guy was smirking down at him.
"You're disgusting"
Was the last thing Erik heard before blinking and entering a completely different room. He was overwhelmed and anxious by his surroundings, however after rubbing his eyes he appeared in his college dorm.
The room was dark and only a lamp was turned on to brighten the room up. The sky was mute and peaceful, brighter than ever due to the shining moon.
"What do you want? I'm not coming!"
He turned around and found himself sitting on his desk with a phone against his ear and tears filling his eyes.
"First, they throw me away! Then they expect me to join in the family dinner! Fuck that! I'm not coming! I'm studying!
He hung up on the caller and threw his phone across the bed and slammed his forehead against the desk. Erik could hear his younger self crying underneath and whispering a few curse words.
Erik stepped a few steps forward and bended down to sit down right beside the desk where the younger him was crying.
He knew this was a dream.
Erik has always dreamed of being a detective just like his beloved uncle and his role model Elliot Ness. He's always wanted to be the best in whatever he did, but those around him weren't supportive. They didn't believe he would get far or earn enough to support himself.
Once he proved himself to them, they suddenly decided to include him in family trips and dinners, which he always politely declined.
Why should he be part of something that never supported nor liked him?
It's not fair.
It's not right.
It's not family.
It's all about greedy people wanting more, and Erik didn't want to take part in any of it.
He curled into a ball, hugged his head and could feel himself becoming more emotional.
A warm hand gently grabbed his shoulder, he lifted his head up and blinked a few times before realizing who was standing in front of him.
"Adrian?"
The man standing proudly above him had his hands in his pocket, held a pretty tough and confident smirk on his face and was dressed very well. He looked like a supermodel, very attractive indeed.
"Are you crying again?"
Erik immediately wiped the tears and got up from the floor.
"Guess old habits die hard"
"What are you doing here?", Erik asked. Trying to avoid the weird topic by questioning his sudden appearance.
"No particular reason"
He was staring way too deeply at Erik, who at this point felt something hard pressing against his chest. He glanced over at his younger self and noticed how that younger self disappeared. He was schocked and confused at the same time, but didn't act out of character since he didn't want to alarm Adrian.
"You know, Ruslan is getting worried about you. You should perhaps at least talk to him"
An older brother that doesn't support any of his younger brother's dreams and hopes, instead treats him like he's a talentless weirdo and an abnormal human being for being a homosexual.
What brother does that?
Adrian noticed Erik's restless and troubled expression, he gently grabbed his shoulders and smiled down at him.
"He may have done some bad things to you, but he's still your brother. He still cares about you, he just doesn't know how to express his feelings"
Erik pushed Adrian's grips off him and looked down at their feet.
"Don't defend him. He doesn't deserve it"
Erik commented.
"I'm not defending anyone. I'm just telling the truth"
Adrian added.
Erik clenched his fists and lifted his head up to continue, but noticed how the vision ended. He was standing on a spot which was brightened by something above him.
He turned around and noticed how a white door behind him.
He approached the door slowly
Grabbed the doorknob and widely opened the door. He stepped into the bright light and suddenly noticed how his foot didn't meet a certain ground and with wide opened eyes, he fell down.
