Soul Mark (breddy fanfic)

Sibling's Wrath

Brett Yang will be the death of him.

Eddy had always known that much, he was half sure it was the case when he drove himself silly to the accident, his mind - albeit not intentionally - was at their shared flats, with Brett.
But by God! It was nothing compared to the weeks that followed. He was in heaven and hell at the same time, a sweet, sweet, torture for his feelings.

It was fucked up enough with the casual hookups they shared, and now his best friend was willing to take care of him 24/7, but for Brett to touch him when he couldn't give him anything in return? Oh, and the aftercare was so perfect he could cry! All the loving things Brett did for him was not good for his heart, poisoning his mind with his saccharine-sweet services, giving him hope.

What would you do if I tell you that I love you? Would the weight of your touch linger still?

Eddy didn't dare to find out.

But now his feeling was never been surer, and Brett's action getting sweeter and sweeter with each passing day it kills him.

why now of all time? Why did Brett decide to tag along with him everywhere (and by everywhere, he meant EVERYWHERE. He'd almost lost his shit when Brett asked for the umpteenth times that week if Eddy needed help when he took a shit.) When Eddy wanted to think. He's an introvert at heart, his mind functions the best when he's talking to himself. Especially if the topic of said thought was concerning the person who occupied his heart at the moment. Eddy couldn't think clearly when there's Brett around, and boy did he need to think.

"You sure you can wheel yourself to your class? I mean, I have nothing to do, and,-"

"For the last time, I. Can. Brett, just.. Hang out with your friends or something?"

"You're my friend"

"I mean your OTHER friends, Brett."

Brett fidgeted with his fingers, seemingly unsure.

"Promise me that you'll text when you're done."

"Will do"

Brett sighed heavily. "Please tell me if anything wrong, okay? I'll be waiting around if you need anything..."

"Brett, I'll be fine, now kindly leave if you will?"

Now that Eddy thinks about that, it almost ironic how the table has turned in their dynamics, even if the reasonings were different. But he really needed some time alone, away from Brett. Being with him was lovely, but could he still face his best friend when Brett's soulmate shows up?

Could he live his life knowing that he'd rob him of his chance to find his soulmate? Call him dramatic or anything. But Eddy knew, even though Brett would never admit it,- he's too proud for that,- but Eddy knew that he always wants to find his pair, and Eddy knew, he knew that the moment Eddy asked for Brett's love and commitment, he will give it to him, that selfless fucker.

Now Eddy sat in his wheelchair, with his classes finished and no Brett in sight, he mulled over his plans.

But sometimes, coincidences happen when you need it the most. Or at least it was in his case.

His phone screen lit up as the opening theme of Beethoven's symphony number five rang from it.

------

The clock on his phone reads at 6 pm. It was past Eddy's classes. Way past it.

Brett paced back and forth across the uni ground. Why didn't Eddy call him? Or text him. Does anything happen? The anxiety and dread he felt from the day of the accident rushed back to him, his mind playing the worst scenarios.

Brett grabbed his phone and call his best friend several times. Shit. Eddy must have ignored him.

The thought made Brett's insides churned with uneasiness.

Had he smothered Eddy too much? Eddy seemed a tad colder to him this week, maybe he'd coddled him a little bit much with his care, and maybe, maybe he shouldn't have touched him in a not-so-PG way. Aargh! Stupid Brett! Now Eddy's put off with him, he'd ignored his calls.

But what if Eddy's in trouble?

With the only phone in hand, Brett darted out to find his best friend.

-----

On the other side of Brisbane, Eddy had a long-ass heart to heart conversation with his beloved sister. Belle decided to pick him up and surprise him with her sudden homecoming.

And of course, being an intuitive sister she was, Belle knew something was amiss with his brother's recent accident. Eddy drives like an old Asian lady, something must have bothered him.

Or someone (she knew, duh)

So, as his big sis, she decided it was her duty to squeeze the truth out of him.

Not that she needed to do much anyway, Eddy was already at the brink of his breaking point when Belle opened her arms and asked him the way they used to when Eddy was a little child.

Eddy hung his head in shame as he ended his rants to Belle. It's just confusing for Eddy, and he was scared, he had put their years of friendship on the line with his stupid feelings. If only he didn't want more.

If only he didn't pass that boundary, maybe Brett and Eddy would still be normal and simple, the way they were.

Belle petted Eddy on his head, the poor lad. Belle felt sad for Eddy, but this was plain stupid, "From what I understand, the best key to the relationship is communication, so why not try and talk to him?"

Eddy scoffed, "I had tried several times, but, uh.., well, every time it was bought up I feel like he was never really into it."

"You might just assume things"

"But I know that Brett wants to find his mate! And that might not be me"

Belle sighed at the unnecessary neverending loop of despair, Eddy was usually smart, sharper than her, but he's a total moron whenever Brett was concerned.

"So what are you gonna do now? You couldn't hide from him forever, it's not fair for him. And, well, to you too"

The constant buzz in his pocket confirmed Belle's words, Brett must have worried. "I know.. It's just.. I need some time to think.. Away from him" maybe with his absence Eddy's feelings would lessen, please? "Would you help me, Belle? I don't want to confined under the same roof with him anymore" and face him, and his feelings. God, it's just so pretty and painful, Eddy couldn't keep his acts anymore.

Belle pinched the bridge of her nose, these stupid love birds, it seemed she has to interfere for the sake of Eddy's sanity. "alright, I'll help. But you have to give Brett a proper goodbye"

*a/n* a few more chapters.. Lmao 😂
