*he
smiles slightly, hugging his pillow* that sounds nice.. i only got to
talk to my brother three or four times cause he was busy with college
and work…
You have a brother? How much older is he?
like.. 13-ish years i think? *he shifted slightly, glancing away*
Oh… that’s tough. Mine’s just 18 months younger than me. *he rubs Max’s shoulder through the blanket.*
*he shrugs, stilfling a yawn* there were worse things then not knowing your brother.. and who knows, maybe i’ll get to see him again some day…
There could be worse things… but that doesn’t mean it’s okay. If he had any sense, he’d see his younger brother. How bad is it? I mean – I’m asking about your nausea now.
*he shrugged slightly* i’m more tired now then sick feeling.. *he curls up slightly, frowning softly*
That’s okay. You should drink a bit of water, just in case you feel nauseous again and need to throw up. Look forward to tomorrow though – I’ll get you something good for your birthday. *he smiles* Oh – what’s your favorite cake flavor, by the way?
*he nodded slightly* favorite cake flavor..? i dunno.. i haven’t ever really eaten cake but i guess chocolate *he yawns*
Chocolate’s a good one. It’s mine too. *he smiles wider* Relax, Max. I’ll find your water bottle and a bucket.
*he smiles softly back, rubbing his eyes* thanks Carlos..
You’re welcome, buddy. *he searches around before finding Max’s waterbottle. He sets on the bed next to Max before leaving for a moment. He comes back with an old bucket he found by the Quartermaster’s store and set it beside the bed.*

i don’t think i’ve ever eaten this many sweets in one day, i feel sick-
maybe you should lay down buddy – and keep a bucket next to you just in case.
last time i laid down, i went into a mini coma..
sleeping will help you feel better too. I just don’t want you to get even more sick by walking around, Max.
*slight groan* yeah you’re probably right… it’s probably not healthy to stay up this long too..
I’ll help you out, Max. Come on, buddy… *offers him a hand to hold*
*he hesitates before holding Carlos’ hand, hey he’s not wearing his bandages today-*
*Blinks at the bandages but gently starts to lead Max to his tent* So… what brought on the candy-eating?
L said their dad said kids should get candy on their birthday! so we both got alot.. *he looks at the ground as he walks*
Wait, it’s your birthday?? How did I not know this??
because i didn’t say anything about it and i didn’t tell anyone.. til now
Oh my goodness – Max, you should have told me! I’d have gotten you a present and a cake and celebrated with you!
*he looked confused for a second* oh right, people are suppost to celebrate their birthdays, aren’t they? well we still have a few hours…
But you’re sick right now. I’d rather wait until you feel better. But tonight I’ll go pick something up for you and tomorrow, if you’re feeling better, we I can give you your cake and present then. Sound good?
*he smiles and nods* yeah, that sounds good..
Alright then. What would you like, Max? As a present, i mean?
Oh geez, uhh… well..
Max got drunk after he ran into a tree. Why did he run into a tree? I was trying to stop him from drinking. Anyway, uh, after he got drunk we, well I wasn’t really doing anything, kind of… turned some stuff to gold… we talked about some stuff and then… we did some… naughty stuff together…
*Sighs* Pure, I need you to tell me again… without minimizing your involvement. You’re in trouble with me already. I need to know where your faults are so I can determine exactly how long I think Max should be grounded from you. So start again from the beginning – and don’t hide anything important, I’m warning you.
Okay… but dont call me Pure. Please.
Well, it pretty much started with Max asking what BDSM was. I then told him what it was and he just… pulled out his flask and wanted to drink. I, like I already said, tried to take it away from him. He wouldn’t give it to me and ran away, so I chased him. He ended up running into a tree, but otherwise he was fine. And then he just… drank the entire flask while I drank apple juice. When he was drunk we turned some stuff to gold, but the cat was his idea not mine! I just wanted to turn trees and a puddle to gold! So, when we turned the things we did to gold we just relaxed for a while. And them Max requested we’d do… uh… “it”….and.. we did.
And that’s pretty much all. We didn’t do anything after that.
Right… your name’s ‘Maven’, Isn’t it? I’m sorry.
How old are you two?
We’re… both… ten…
*groans – Jesus Christ...*
Okay… at your age you should absolutely not be engaging in those sort of activities – even with each other! You’re too young! At this point you don’t understand the full consequences of your actions lead to.
Oh geez, uhh… well..

This is an actual picture of me when I was your age
… we look nothing alike!
Oh, okay. So the wardrobe is absolutely coincidental. Okay then 🙂
i’m sure alot of kids have blue hoodies, it’s not exactly a trademarked thing Carlos
And a lot of kids wear that scowl, have a yellow tee under the hoodie, black floofy hair, and are POC. :)))))
so there are.. a few shared things, but yes! … wait can i even grow anymore-
Accept it, Max – you’re just like you’re old man! Haha!
i never- wait, how can i grow into you if you’re right here??
Through the power of ‘Like Father, Like Son’
huh.. *he puts on a worried look* wait, then would i end up like my.. ‘dad’ back home?
*his teasing smile drops* Not if you don’t want to. It’s up to you, what kind of man you want to be. I’m just… I’m teasing you, Max. I was just playing, I promise.
*he sighed soft and smiled slightly* that’s good..
Yeah… I”m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. Are you okay?
*he glances away before nodding* yeah, i’m alright..
Are… you sure, Max? *because Carlos wasn’t sure, with how Max wasn’t looking at him*
i’m not great, but i’m not bad so that’s.. alright *he shrugs slightly*
Sorry… I’m sorry, Max. *he’s quiet for a moment*
In all seriousness though, I think that hoodie is a great wardrobe choice. *he was trying to lighten the mood just a bit*
*he chuckles, pulling the bottom of his hoodie slightly* didn’t spend all that time in the closet for nothing!
Hah! Same here! Though I waited until high school to come out of it, if you know what I mean.
