                 ”Why didn’t you just get both? Duh.”

                           { It was astonishing how quick Aiden was able to boost Ethans mood. From the verge of tears, to his old, joking self in a matter of moments.

                         The ice cream, cool and milky in his throat brought him the overwhelming feeling of serenity. It was odd how food could stabilize off balanced emotions so quickly. }

                       ”Talk to him? God no.

                               I can’t as much as look at him without wanting to cry.”

             ”Not enough money, although I totally would have.”

                                  { It was comforting to watch the ease slip over his brother face; oddly enough, Aiden found himself most content with Ethan was happy. It sufficed to say Aiden was glad he had a relationship with his brother – it could be worse. }

           ”Do you want me to beat him up for you? Or, the other guy, at least?”

                                        { Because Aiden knew Ethan was aware he was being dead serious. He disliked to watch his brother hurt and was going to make damn sure of it that it didn’t happen again, or else the pair would have to deal with just Aiden next time. }
