Do you know what set him off in the first place?

[protective_logic]

Monday, when Sigma cooked dinner for us all? Omega was out on a date with Louisiana. He's been tense since. Something went wrong. I don't know what, he won't talk to me. I pointed out that he'd asked me to be open to him about Maine and my relationship and be able to turn to him. I told him that I wanted to be able to do that for him as well. And, basically, he told me he doesn't want me involved.

Perhaps you could talk to him? I'm worried that somehow Lou hurt him or he got mad and they had an argument he regrets or... Oh god, what if she made a move on him? That would be terrible!

Tex, please, just tell me if he's okay? I'm worried he's been hurt and he needs someone to talk to and I can't be that for him apparently. I just want to help my brother and he throws my unknown and very confused sexuality at me.

[soldierinblack]

That's why he didn't show up to dinner?

I'll ask. I don't know why he's trying to get mixed up in that woman's business, but I'll ask what's going on.

[protective_logic]

Perhaps seeing Sigma and myself in relationships has made him desire romance. He has been sleeping with her. But not like that. Omega's... He's asexual. I have to say that even if it isn't my place because you've got to understand if she made a move you can't make the mistake of asking why he didn't go for it.

He's not like that.

I've always wondered if he wasn't still interested in romantic entanglements, or possible deeply emotional platonic bonds, but they haven't come up before and if this Louisiana hurt him by assuming things, then... I just can't handle that.

[soldierinblack]

You might be over thinking this.

I'll see what he's willing to talk about and I'm not going to jump to any conclusions about Louisiana until I hear what he says. She may have just made a stupid mistake.

[protective_logic]

I leave you the problem of Omega. Maybe he'll be better with an older sibling than with a younger. Because lord knows he's never taken me seriously. And apparently MAINE is a problem.

[soldierinblack]

We can talk more about it later. I'll be staying the night at the house, I'm giving Omega my room on base for the next 24 hours so he can clear his head.

Hope you don't mind me being the one to help you wrangle the house in order.

[protective_logic]

I MIND that he has a problem with Maine being involved with the family. I MIND that when we finally sit down to have a real family dinner he decides to flounce off with someone he apparently hates now. I MIND that he never talks and always assumes and twists words until they suit him and then it's absolutely true and no one else can be right.

[soldierinblack]

You really think he has a problem with Maine himself? I have an odd feeling he has the same problem with the man I do - Maine seems to be doing a whole lot for you all that neither of us can do and called on even before I hear of major shit going down. It's not Maine's fault and it's not yours. He's doing what's right and Maine's a good man, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous when I heard he was the first called in when Epsilon got hurt. Or that he was the first one to even tell me the family was throwing a birthday party for you.

So cut Omega some slack because it sounds like having outsiders involved is a new thing for all of you. Let's see if some time away from the house helps him calm the fuck down and think more clearly.

[protective_logic]

So now you have a problem with me dating too. Wonderful.

Do either you or Omega know what it's like to be disabled?

Does it even matter that YOU were the one I called for when my implants failed? And I wasn't even aware of a fucking of the damn party.

But of course you take his side. He's more like you than I am.

[soldierinblack]

Are you shitting me right now?

Yes, it meant the damn world to me that you called for me. And even more when you wanted to spend part of your birthday with me. I don't know why you think I'm blaming you for any of this.

I just said Maine was a good man. Dating him means I don't have to worry about whether or not your boyfriend is going to treat you right because I know he will. I didn't say my jealousy or Omega's was justified which is why I haven't said a damn thing until now.

What I'm telling you is to give Omega some time. He needs to get used to not being the one you all run to whenever something goes wrong.

[protective_logic]

What he needs to get used to is that we worry about him and no age difference, no birth order, changes that. What he needs to get is that he doesn't get to expect a level of sharing and then hold himself above it.

[soldierinblack]

One meltdown at a time. Let him cool off first and have time to think then we can talk about that.

[protective_logic]

Because meaningful conversation can be had with someone who finds me to be a 'nosy little twit'. But yes, take him away. Get him away from the 'suffocating nimrod' because that will help.

Oh wait. It will. Because clearly my 'lack of object permanence' should make my problems magically disappear the second he's out of sight.

[soldierinblack]

Stop talking to him. I'll tell him the same. I don't want to show up to pick him up and find out you two are texting insults to each other still.

[protective_logic]

What, is mister amazing incapable of walking the distance on his own? Poor thing. How's he ever supposed to become a mercenary like that?

[soldierinblack]

If you're going to be petty, I don't want to hear it.

Once I get him settled on base, I will be spending the night at the house to help out. I'm not going to be there to insult Omega or you or whatever. I'll be there to spend time with my family and make sure you're not running things alone.

[protective_logic]

Wow. Do you literally have no faith in my ability to manage this household without help? At least Omega can trust me THAT far.

[soldierinblack]

Can you stop turning every offer of help into me not trusting you to do something?

There's going to be a free bed while he's stealing mine and I'm not going to sit on my ass and do nothing while I watch you work.

[protective_logic]

I can do this on my own. In fact, I have been for years.

[soldierinblack]

Whether you like it or not, you're going to be stuck with me for the next 24 hours.

[protective_logic]

Why

[soldierinblack]

Because I'm your sister.

[protective_logic]

I don't need you here. Rage-Monster, on the other hand, does.

[soldierinblack]

[The oh-so quickly deleted text:] I don't know what any of you want from me if all you're going to do is push me away when I try to help.

Rage-Monster? Really?
