I finally finished my story :0 I apologize for the delay; I hope yall enjoy :D

Brotherly bonding:

(segment 1: Rather at peace)

Sunlight peered through the window, making Daniel groan. While last night was great, he was too tired from all the walking to get up. His body was extremely worn out from chasing Claire all the way to his car. He was very greatful she didn’t leave him for dead, but dang was she a menace.

Shifting to his side, Daniel smiled. Even though he would of probably died last night, he didn’t regret going into the forest at all. Not only did he find inspiration, he found a friend. A somewhat creepy one; but a friend none the doubt.

It wasn’t often that he made friends, or true friends for the matter, so this was a rare occasion for him. With a schedule like his, it was not easy making friends right away, and with his long- term friends, it wasn’t easy keeping them. Except his friend William, who was rather attached to him. To bad he was all the way back home in Alpine- his home planet.

Usually, he was in his office most of the time, and with the workers his parents company had, made it less than enjoyable. Just then, a loud sound buzzed off from his phone, signaling him to get up for work. Sighing, he got up and off his bed, only to feel a sense of tiredness wash over him afterword’s.

As much as Daniel wanted to sleep in more, he had to get up. Even he knew how long he takes to get ready, and he was for certain he did not want to see Yalena’s pissed off face again after the last time. It was embarrassing for sure.

Putting on his slippers, Daniel got up and walked towards the bedroom door. Some breakfast would be good right about now, his stomach was growling. He opened the door and headed to the kitchen, hurrying to the fridge.

“What should I eat today?” Daniel thought to himself; scanning the fridge for something filling. He did have some left-over roast from last night’s dinner, but he didn’t really want to have dinner food this early in the morning. He shrugged, getting the roast anyways, he could always use some of it to make a sandwich.

Cutting into the roast was definitely harder cold then when it was warm. It took Daniel a few try’s to finally get a decent slice out of it. Putting the slice on a sliver plate, he put it in the microwave to let it heat up a bit. Now all he needed was some eggs and bread.

As Daniel headed to the pantry, he could hear the faint ringing of the doorbell. He grimaced, geez- he didn’t even make his breakfast yet and he already had to interact with people today. He grabbed the loath of bread, leaving it on the counter before processing to the door.

Whoever it was, he hoped it was not Yalena. His assistant had come to house one time because he had slept in late; and like he said before; he did not want that to happen again. He got she was passionate about her work, but he’d wish she’d tone it down a bit.

When Daniel made it to the door, he mentally prepared himself to interact with the person outside. “Please let it not be who I think it is,” he said to himself as he looked through the peephole. Luckily, it wasn’t Yalena; this time. It was his little brother, what was he doing here? Wasn’t he supposed to be heading to school by now?

Daniel stood there for a few minutes, dazed by his brother’s sudden appearance. Meanwhile, his brother went in for a hug, “let me guess big bro, you still haven’t had breakfast yet?” he snickered. Daniel snapped back to reality, oh how he wished he was just having his breakfast right now. “Travis?”, he exclaimed, “why aren’t you in school?”

Travis paused, “what do you think?” he tittered. Daniel raised his brows, he knew he should tell him to head back to school, but there could be only one reason why he was here this early. “Come inside,” he said letting go of his brothers embrace, and gestured to the hallway.

His brother grinned, “you’re the best big bro,” he said, rather happily. His brother walked past him as he headed inside. Daniel sighed, he knew his parents weren’t going to like this- if they ever found out of course. He closed the door, and started following his brother.

(Segment 2: Travis enters the picture)

Travis sighed as he flopped onto the couch, getting comfortable in the cushions. He loved going to his brother’s place, it was much more relaxing here. “Soo, what’s been up big bro?” He asked as his brother entered the living room after him. Daniel rubbed his neck, “Not much- just the usual stuff I do and such,” he then smiled all of a sudden, “I did make a new friend yesterday though.”

Knowing his brother, making friends was a rare thing for him, so in his eyes, it was something to celebrate. Travis raised a brow, “Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” He joked lightheartedly. Daniel rolled his eyes, “It’s not like I hate making friends,” he mumbled, “it’s just people I’m around tend to be a bit much sometimes.”

Travis found himself nodding in agreement, “that’s part of society we live in,” he commented, “a lot of the company’s workers are a bit much; especially the blond one,” he mumbled off, “although I do think she’s kind of hot not going to lie...” Daniel grimaced, “I think she hates me,” he uttered, before pausing, “wait what?”

Daniel looked at Travis, concerned for his wellbeing. “Travis… are you feeling well-“he questioned with his brow raised. Travis shrugged, “eh I little tired and stressed but I feel alright now,” he said rather nonchalantly. His brother looked confused, and just looked at him weirdly for a few minutes.

“You know she’s married.. right?” He uttered with the very most concern. Travis raised his hands in defense,” it just an opinion big bro- “He reasoned playfully, “don’t get all worried about it.” Daniel still looked sketchy.

“Anyways,” Daniel continuing, “her name is Claire.” Travis grinned, and was about to open his mouth when Daniel stopped him, “No Travis, we are just friends.” Smirking, Travis shrugged, “you never know big bro,” he quipped, “someday I might be the best man for your wedding.”

Daniel grumbled, clearly annoyed at his little brother’s stubbornness. Just then a dinging sound came from his brother’s pocket, which made Daniel dig into it, and bring out his phone. Travis looked at him curious, “who is that? His brother didn’t answer, as he suddenly put his phone back in his pocket. “Sorry Travis, I got to go, like now,” He looked at him before heading down the hall.

From looking at the expression on his brothers face before he left, he could definitely tell it was an Yalena message, as he was rushing. She’d probably sent a text on Daniels phone telling him to hurry up, or else she would head to his place; again. Travis had heard the story from bro himself, so it made since why he was so urgent to head out.

(Segment 3: Lonely)

It was quiet without his brother around; maybe even too quiet. He kind of regretted heading here in the morning now, his brother always had work in the mornings. Sure, it had given him time away from the stresses of school; and to be fair their parents; but he would rather spend this free-time with someone he cared about.

He took out his phone, scrolling through mindless apps. Travis was already feeling bored in a matter of minutes. No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t get his mind off of his problems. It was easier to do that when his brother was around, that’s for sure.

Heading to Inquiry; which was a local search engine on the web they used; he scrolled the news, hoping to find something interesting for once. As usually though, it was the same things. Planet news, New technology replacements, lastly half- breed outbreak’s on record; which was probably going be taken down sooner or later.

Just as he was about to head off the site- he found an ad with a rather recognizable model. Heather Henderson; a popular model at Phoenix, one of the perfect figures of what people say humans could be- hat sounded so weird to think about, why did he think that? While Travis could definitely appreciate a good-looking woman; she was still a human being, or at least hopefully most of one.

People are weird; yes- he knew he was weird too in some sort of way; but idolizing random people you don’t know too much about is rather creepy in his opinion. With a click of a button, he headed off the site. Looking at news didn’t help him feel any better, which should have been expected. The news wasn’t the happiest thing in the world.

He hated feeling this way, the stress was killing him enough. Travis knew he thrived in social interaction; with people he liked anyways. It had always made he feel warm on the inside, it felt like he could fall free from his problems. When he was alone however, that was the opposite.

Travis couldn’t help but think about his problems when no one else was around, there was nothing else to focus on. He didn’t want to think like this, but he couldn’t help it. Sighing to himself, he laid back on the couch, and closed his eyes. Maybe sleep could get his mind off things.

(Segment 4: Memories)

It turns out it didn't. Travis kept tossing and turning endlessly. Even sleep didn’t help him, he was too stressed out. Taking a breath, Travis tried to relax, to drift off into dream world. His dreams would be with him, and he wouldn’t be alone.

After a few minutes thankfully, he did go to sleep. A calm tranquil feeling filled his mind, putting him at rest. Now all he had to do was dream. No parents, no school, just him and the people he chose to dream about.

FLASHBACK…

Travis sat there, drawing a rather confusing picture. The sit next to him was empty, where twenty minutes ago a person was sitting. His brother told him he would be back right away, and yet, he hadn’t. It shouldn’t have taken that long to get a glass of water.

Groaning, Travis scribbled on his piece of paper. ‘Uh he’s taking forever,” Travis complained, he knew his big brother took forever getting ready, but he wasn’t getting ready; he getting a drink. That shouldn’t take this long.

Feeling very impatient, Travis hopped off his seat, and headed to wherever Daniel was at. He searched the kitchen, but his brother wasn’t there. That was confusing. If his brother needed a drink. Why wasn’t he here?

Running past the few maids and butlers roaming the hallway; Travis looked into multiple rooms, trying to find his brother. He had no luck either, as the rooms were empty. Thinking for a moment, Travis thought about the few places his brother could of went.

As he was thinking, a voice interrupted his thoughts. “Are you alright little sir?” A butler asked him, concerned as to why he was just standing there. Travis looked at him, “I’m just thinking where my brother went, Zion,” he mumbled in frustration, “he told me he was just going to get water- but he hasn’t come back yet.”

Zion raised a brow, and sighed, “Why I think I saw your parents take him to their room this earlier,” he said giving a small smile of compassion to the boy, “you’ll find him there.” Travis groaned to himself, “of course he’d be there,” he beamed back at Zion, “thank you Zion,” he quickly murmured before running to his parent’s bedroom, of course it was his parents that took him away.

Just as he was about to head to his parent’s bedroom; his brother appeared out of nowhere. Travis and Daniel both yelped out of surprise. “Travis- you scared me,” Daniel mumbled out nervously, “I-“ “Why were you gone so long bro- I was waiting!” Travis complained, cutting him off. His brother rubbed his neck, “mom and dad wanted to talk to me..” he paused, “I’m sorry bro- but I don’t think I can draw pictures with you right now.”

Travis frowned, “why does our parents have to stop everything fun,” he whined. Daniel sighed,” mom and dad…just want what’s best for me, so I have to understand.” He looked at Travis, “I promise we can draw next time though,” he softly smiled. His brother gave him reassuring hug, “you promise?” Travis spoke up a bit, skeptical. Daniel nodded, and hugged him tighter, “I would never leave you on purpose Travis,” he beamed, “I promise.”

They stood there for a few minutes, just hugging each other. Travis hoped his brother would keep his promise; but he understood why he couldn’t sometimes. “Ok- I’m going to keep drawing then,” Travis grinned as he let go of the hug, “see yeah big bro!” he said before running off again. He didn’t see his brother’s soft frown behind him, as he silently wished he was running with him too.

END OF FLASHBACK

Travis slowly opened his eyes- what time was it? Getting up, he picked his phone off the side table; it was around one pm. In the after- noon…; dang was he asleep for that long? He sighed in relief, at least he wasn’t stressing so much as this earlier; that was good. He thought for a minute, his brother won’t be home until the later; so- what should he do in the mean time?

Still feeling a tiny bit tired, he laid back down on the couch, getting into his comfortable position. Using his phone, he put on a parkour app. It was to hopefully distract himself for a little while longer; at least until brother came back from work. While he could watch tv- they had too much romance tv shows, as well as movies going on. It would make him cringe.

It would be not until sundown that Travis would see his brother again, but he was alright with that; for now- that is. Knowing his brother would be home brought him a lot of joy, much more than anything else really. Feeling rather sleepy again, he put his phone back on the coffee table; then laid back down again. Smiling to himself; he closed his eyes, as much more memories flooded his mind.

The End 😊

….

…

…

Or is it >:)

Daniel huffed as he opened the front door to his home, he was finally back. Work was just as draining as before, and he did not enjoy a single second of it. Taking off his shoes, he first closed the front door before heading down the hallway.

Was Travis still here; or was he gone already. Knowing his brother, he doesn’t like staying alone for long, so he could at least presume he wasn’t here. Checking the living room however, was a different story. Travis was laid down on the couch, fast asleep. Daniel chuckled, looks like he stayed after all. He knew how fond his brother was of his place, he should of know he would stay.

Taking something out of his pocket, Daniel quietly walked over to the coffee table and laid something out onto it, which was for Travis to see in the morning. Tiptoeing quietly back out of the living room, Daniel started heading towards his room.

After a tiring day like this, Daniel needed to sleep. Opening his bedroom door, he quickly flopped onto bed, and closed his eyes. All he wanted for to sleep now… and maybe see his friend Claire again. As he started to drift into sleep, he couldn’t help but wonder what Claire did today, and how her sisters photoshoot went.

....

If he has time tomorrow, he definitely will try to reach out again.

Now its the end :3.. for now

I hope you all enjoyed, and again I’m sorry for the delay. Hopefully, when I start my next short story, it will come out way faster. Thanks for reading. Also, Daniel and Claire are just going to be friend’s guys (Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
