Don't you have more important things to worry about? Literally anything? Because like I keep telling you, nothing happened. You are making a big deal, now dragging our sister into it, over nothing.

Do not drag Maine into this too, or I swear, Delta, whatever he does to me I'll do to you ten times over.

[protective_logic]

All my life I've had you to help me, Omega. Through good things, and through bad. Even when I didn't turn to you and I should have. And now knowing that it's possible someone hurt you, someone upset you, and that I can't do anything to help?

That hurts me, Omega, because I know if someone hurt me, you'd be right there at my side to help fix it. Like you did when I turned twenty-one. Is it wrong that I care enough about my brother to worry? Because clearly something DID happen.

[baruthumos]

Nothing happened. Nothing you need to worry about. I'll take care of it, you worry about Gamma or brain surgery or the weird stain that appeared on the couch I can't get out.

[protective_logic]

It doesn't matter if I need to worry about it, Omega. You're my brother. I'll worry anyway.

[baruthumos]

That's not how it works, number three. I help you. Not the other way around.

[protective_logic]

You're wrong, number three. I told you. Family isn't a one way street. It's now all down the creek. Sigma worried about Epsilon when he was shot. Epsilon worried about me deaf and he's going to worry about the surgery in six days. And I worry about you always.

[baruthumos]

What the hell do you want from me? Nothing happened. There's nothing to worry about. She hasn't talked to me since. It's over and done with.

[protective_logic]

You know that the fact that 'she hasn't talked to you since' and 'it's over and done with' makes me more certain something did happen.

Is there anything I can do to help other than leave you alone? Because you're upset. Please, just tell me what happened?

[baruthumos]

What always happens. I got mad.

[protective_logic]

And in my years of experience, you always have a reason to. A good one. What happened?

[baruthumos]

Nothing happened. I just got mad. Don't you have homework or something?

[protective_logic]

You don't get mad 'just because'. But fine. I'll drop it, just because.

But if you can't talk to me about this, if you can't trust me when you're hurt, how can you expect the same from me?

[baruthumos]

Nothing happened, I didn't get hurt, everyone else on this planet including the sister you spilled the beans to can grasp that, why can't you? I can't talk to you about it because there is nothing. To. Say.

[protective_logic]

Fine.

[baruthumos]

Is this the part where you expect me to apologize for not creating a catastrophe when you've scheduled one?

[protective_logic]

I know how you looked when you came home Monday night.

This is the part where I wonder how I've failed you so much over the years that you expect me to come to you but won't come to me.

[baruthumos]

Did it ever occur to to you that this is not, in fact, about you, about any hypothetical thing you have done or have not done?

[protective_logic]

Did it ever occur to you that I care about you? That when you are hurt I want to find out a way to help?

Nevermind. I'll just stick to the age old rule. Leave Omega alone. That makes all problems go away.

[baruthumos]

And yet, you don't trust me enough to take care of it myself. Which I'm doing. Talking to her right now and everything.

[protective_logic]

Sometimes it's not about taking care of it yourself. It's about knowing that when it hurts or pisses you off someone is there.

And speaking of taking care of something yourself...

Never ever allude to me and Maine like that again. The idea makes me uncomfortable.

[baruthumos]

I have taken note of your concern, I will not pursue the matter, I assume it has nothing to do with me and I do not take it as a comment on my brotherly abilities as a whole.

See how easy that is?

[protective_logic]

Make a note for future reference.

Less than twenty days. That's how long Omega can go without being a superior fuck.

[baruthumos]

Why is nothing I do ever good enough for you?

[protective_logic]

Why do you think you have to do this alone?

[baruthumos]

Because one, this still doesn't exist and if it did, I am the only one who didn't have some sort of major crisis that could only be solved by Maine in the last month!
