tokyo disneyland (part 1/3)

a/n: Inspired by 'Disney on the Violin!' when Brett said he physically became sick when he heard about Space Mountain

Everyone would be going on a field trip the next day since they finally had a day off. As they were discussing places to go to, Eddy suggested Disneyland. It was evident that he had it all planned out already as he turned to Brett, waving his arms animatedly around as he talked about the theme park. He rambled on about how he can't wait to try out the Space Mountain ride. Brett just grinned and listened to the discussion.

Brett thought that he had done a very good job by giving a positive response and had been almost as excited as Eddy. Don't get him wrong-he was excited about going to Disneyland.

Of course he was.

He had been looking forward to taking breaks between their tour and visiting famous tourist areas all over the world. What better place to go to than Disneyland when they were in Tokyo? The only problem was his companions.

Again, don't get him wrong-he would love to visit one of the best places in the world (in his opinion) with Eddy, his best friend and crush of ten years. He was also absolutely fine with their team going out with them. They were fun people to hang out with.

The one person he did not want to see, however, is Eddy's girlfriend. He had nothing personal against the girl, and was quite thankful that she could make Eddy happy. The thing was he didn't think his already damaged heart could take another blow if he saw Eddy and his girlfriend being all sweet and affectionate in the one place Brett had hoped to go to for a date with Eddy one day.

He couldn't stop his stupid brain from continuously supplying memories of Eddy and his girlfriend going out on dates, where Brett had been, unfortunately, forced to third-wheel in, as well as conjuring images of what would happen the next day in Disneyland.

Still sitting in the discussion circle, he caught Eddy holding hands with the girl from the corner of his eye. He tried to pull his eyes away, but they seem to be stuck on the sweet couple. He tried to push the thoughts away but failed miserably, so he focused on blinking his tears away instead .

As night descended, all Brett could think about was how lucky the girl was to have Eddy beside her, wrapping his arms around her and laughing together while exchanging soft kisses. All his anticipation of going to Disneyland disappeared, instead replaced by the belief that they would probably be better off without him.

Thoughts running wild in his mind, Brett clambered to bed without shutting the window. He barely got a wink of sleep that night and woke up the next morning groggily with a heavy head. As he struggled to sit up, a wave of nausea hit him. He dashed into the bathroom and slammed the door behind him, scaring Eddy who had just walked out of his bedroom.

Brett was still heaving as Eddy pushed open the door quietly. Ignoring the distinct stench of vomit in the bathroom, Eddy walked up to Brett and gently rubbed his back. Brett tried to tell Eddy to leave the stinky room, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the contents of his stomach came hurling again.

Brett staggered back into his bed with Eddy's arm firmly wrapped around his shoulders to prevent him from collapsing. Eddy's features were laced with concern as he made Brett down a cup of warm water.

"Bro," Eddy said worriedly, feeling Brett's heated forehead, "you can't go to Disneyland like this."

Brett shook his head violently, instantly regretting his actions as his head throbbed. "But I want to go!" He whined.

Eddy gave a stern look, "No. You need to rest."

Brett pouted, like an adorable child, as Eddy's brain unhelpfully suggested, "But everyone's going."

"I'm staying here with you." Eddy responded immediately.

Brett froze. His heart sang as he realised that Eddy was willing to give up on the long awaited trip to stay with, and most probably, take care of him, but his brain condemned his selfishness of trying to rip this precious opportunity of going out with his girlfriend from Eddy.

Eddy mistook his silence as a quiet confirmation of what he had just said and turned to leave the room, "I'll just tell everyone else that we're not going, and then I'm coming back with food so you can take some medicine."

"Hold on," Brett croaked, his feeble voice shocking himself.

"Hm? Do you need something?" Eddy approached the bed again, gently taking Brett's icy hand in his big, warm ones.

Brett shivered slightly from the contact.

"You don't need to stay with me. Go have fun with your girl." Brett muttered, a hint of bitterness in his voice. He almost slapped himself as the words left his mouth.

How could he let his jealousy take over him?

But if Eddy had caught onto anything, he didn't let it show, and Brett was thankful for that.

"Not gonna happen, bro. I'm staying here and looking after you." Eddy repeated.

Brett's cheeks warmed at Eddy's words, though he convinced himself it was due to the fever, "No, seriously, Eddy. I can take care of myself."

Eddy snorted audibly, "Yeah? So what happened last time you said that?" He cleared his throat and mocked in a high-pitched voice. "Eddy, can you come over right now? I'm scared of the dark and the lights won't turn on."

"I was 14!" Brett protested.

"And I was 13." Eddy retorted.

Brett made a face, "I'm a grown man now. I can take care of myself." He put an emphasis on the word 'can'. "And I know you really wanna go."

Eddy started, "But..."

"No buts." Brett said firmly, "Go and have fun."

Eddy sighed. He knew the older man would never budge after he made a decision, "Fine."

"Just take as many photos as you can and show them off to me later," Brett attempted at a joke weakly.

Eddy just smiled and left. Brett fell asleep before Eddy made it out of the door.

He woke up several hours later to find that it was already dark outside. A glance at his phone informed him that he was spammed by dorky pictures of Eddy in weird poses in various parts of the park. He chuckled to himself, feeling his headache dissolve as he read Eddy's message:
Disney was fun and I did take a lotta pictures as requested. And did you notice the empty spot next to me in every picture? That's for you to photoshop your head back in :) take care!
