Returning to the Nest (excerpt)

“Does Crow know about your little plan to try and woo him?” Harald asked giving his energetic friend a stern look.

“Well….” His noncommittal response was all Harald needed for an answer.

“Geez, Brave there you go, jumping the gun.” Harald heaved a sigh. “At least tell Crow so he can help you with your move.��

“I will come up with something. There is plenty of time.” Brave says. “There is one thing I want to make sure of before leaving.”

Harald and Dragan both noticed the serious look on Brave’s face.

“Go on.” Harald gestured for Brave to continue.

“If things don’t work out, I just want to know if I have a place here to come back too….” Brave voiced his question.

So this is what has been bothering him lately? Was he afraid they would just never accept him back if he were to leave? That would explain why he’s been acting so weird since Crow announced his departure.

Brave never had a place to return home to. His hometown had no one waiting for him to come back. It was easy to leave and never return. He’s been moving from place to place never looking back until he happened upon the orphaned kids. It was then when he realized that maybe being a lone-wolf wasn’t what he truly wanted. The feeling only grew when he teamed up with Harald and Dragan. They were his family. Now, that he wanted to try and be with Crow, he was worried about losing them.

“Brave, you will always have a place to return to here.” Harald softly says. Dragan nods.

“Thanks! You guys are the best!” Brave runs over and wraps his arms around both of them.

He excused himself to his room and pulled out his phone. As much as he would like to just surprise Crow, it would be best to let him know. Brave wanted to show Crow he was a serious person and would be a great romantic prospect. He began typing.

Brave: After the tournament I’m thinking of moving to Neo Domino City.
