Joey walked down the sidewalk of the prison to Hosuh's car waiting out front. "Joey!!!" He watched as his little brother stepped out of the car, a big smile on his face as he waved him over.
He walked past Hosuh, opening the door, sitting in the back seat. "Joey!!!! Wait up!!!"
Joey perked up, turning to the sidewalk to see Rover hurrying over. She stopped, breathing heavily. "Rover..?"
"I.... forgot.... to give you this..." she breathed, handing him a piece of paper.
He looked down at the numbers on the small piece of paper. Joey's confused looked turned into a smile as he looked up at Rover. "Your... phone number."
"Mhm~! Whenever your.... free... like we said... we could either go get ice cream... or... maybe a coffee~? Whatever works with your schedule."
"Why not now? I don't have an interesting life, unfortunately."
"Hehe~! Your so cute~ Of course, Joey. I'm actually on my break right now. So I have an hour."
"Then wut duh fuk you doin??? Get in the cerrr!!!" Rover giggled as he took her by the arms and pulled her into the car. "Move your ass Hosuh!!!"
His brother stared, as the woman he hardly knew laughed with Joey- he supposedly emotionless brother. Hosuh walked to the passenger door, getting in and starting the car.

Hosuh kept glancing at Joey and his new "friend" from the rearview mirror. He smiled and laughed as Rover cracked small jokes, not hilarious jokes- but the way Joey laughed put Hosuh off. He was confused, he wasn't used to seeing his brother smile. He shivered at the thought. He sighed, his eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the road thoughtfully. "Hey, Joey? Who's your friend?"
"Oh! This is Rover, she works at the prison."
"Hey there, Darling~!!" She replied giggling softly.
"Rover. Hm. Well, how did you two get close? You two seem awful friendly with each other."
"I'd tell you--- but it's a bit naughty~ Hehe~" Rover giggled, winking at Joey.
"We went into a closet last night to fu--"
"I don't wanna know- keep that to yourself."
"Pussy~" Joey chuckled.
"Im not a... that. I just don't wanna know what you two do." Hosuh muttered, keeping his eyes on the road.

Hosuh sat on a chair on his phone while Rover and Joey went to order, both messing around in line. He stared at his screen with a blank expression.
"...." he sighed, looking down. Hosuh ran his fingers through his hair, sighing in distress.
"Are you okay, Darling?"
He looked up to see Rover standing there, a small frown on her face. "It's ok, Im fine..." Hosuh replied, looking down at the messages.
His eyes widened, making him look up at Rover as she sat next to him. "Honey.... come on... you can tell me, what's on your mind..?" she whispered, placing a hand on his.
He looked up into her vibrant red eyes, her eyebrows furrowed as she smiled gently. Hosuh blushed softly, looking away. "Mn..."
"Hey, it's okay- you can trust me," she carefully rubbed his hand reassuringly.
Hosuh sighed, looking up into her eyes, nervously looking away again. "Truth?" Rover nodded, Hosuh glancing down at her hand on his. "I just... wanted to apologize to my brother for basically.... forcing him to turn himself in... he didn't have to... I just... pressured him to because I thought it was right... but... I still missed him.. even tho it was only a day..." he looked up into Rover's sympathetic expression, a dim look in his eyes as they slowly began to water. "He didn't even say hi to me.... he's probably still mad..."
"Well, Im sure he'll forgive you in time... you two can hurt each other in so many ways- but in the end your family... and family is forever... deep down in that dark and shaded heart.... he feels something for you.. you are his little brother. It may not seem like it at first, but we all get through our troubles and feelings. Whether we sprint, run, walk, limp, or crawl. We somehow make it to the otherside..." Hosuh teared up more, feeling his eyes burning with his tears. "Come here, Darling...." she held out her arms, a small smile on his face as he smiled back, his eyes sparkling with tears.
He coughed in his sob as he wiped his tears with his sleeve. He threw himself into her arms, her giggling softly. "T-Thank you..." he whispered, nuzzling her.
"Anything for a friend~ Now stop crying, before I make you regret it~"
"What're you gonna do...?" Hosuh asked, pulling away and wiping his tears.
"Is that sass~? You sassing me boi~?? Ill teach you a lesson~!!!"
Joey paid the shop keeper, smiling at her before pausing for a moment- hearing Hosuh giggling. He thought about how upset he was on the way to the shop. He looked over yo see Rover tickling him, Hosuh giggling hysterically. "MMMN!!! P-PLEASE, NUUUU!!! HEHE~!!!" Joey smiled softly as he slid out of Rover's grip, making her gasp as he fell to the ground. He gasped for air, a giant smile on his face. "I-I'm very sensitive, Ms!!"
"Good to know- found out how to tease you now~ Heh~"
"Please, no... H-Hehe~!!!" Hosuh giggled as she made a ready motion, "N-No morrrre..!!!"
He laid there, shielding his stomach from her hands. "Stop messing around you two, your gonna get us in trouble!!!!" Joey shouted jokingly.
"Tell her to stop then..!!!" Hosuh shouted back, tears in his eyes from Rover attacking him with tickling.
Joey crossed his arms, shaking his head. He looked down at his phone, unlocking it. He sighed looking down as he started responding to Stephen's text message.
He looked up at Hosuh and Rover laughing, both getting along better then he'd expect. He looked down at the question, a small smile on his face.
"Pretty good actually...."
