Brett only had a few settings that he ran on, at least as far as Matthew saw, as far as it went when they were alone. When he was short, that narrowed it down further, and when he was short with Matt and stationary, he was either half asleep or pissed; he was definitely not half asleep. Matt pushed off of the couch in the living room and padded into the hall, leaning against Brett’s door frame when he got to it and staring him down, brows furrowed. Brett didn’t offer much from his facial expressions generally, so when he did Matt knew something or other was fucked. “Dude, what now.”

EYEBROWS RAISED as he spotted his brother leaning against his doorframe. as if to say what? and if his expression didn’t make it clear enough, the follow-up should have been-- “ what? ” no one could read brett geronimi better than his brother could, which was why it was impossible to lie to him. but he hated getting angry with his brother. matthew had always been there when no one else was. he was there to make things good when they turned bad. how could he just forget all of that?

“Fine, fine, whatever,” Nibs huffed. Brett was right – for once, Nibs might add – and it was better to speak with a friend enduring the same personal hell than not even speak of it. “I was kinda hoping one of you guys would have your nudes leaked, just for some bro solidarity,” he admitted. “I was definitely not expecting to see Tootles’s bare ass, but…I guess there’s a first time for everything. Wish it took more heat off my dick pic, but whatever.”

“ BRO, I’M surprised i didn’t wake up to find my dick everywhere. a bit bummed, too. could you imagine how many girls would be hitting me up after that? i could be swimming in pussy right now. instead, i’ve got everyone guessing because of that damn tape measure picture. ” at the mention of the exact thing he was trying to forget, brett tried his hardest not to gag. “ PLEASE do not remind me. ”

She jumped a little in surprise when Brett made himself known. Her mind was still spinning because of all of the letters and the leaks. She was having a hard time getting a good grip on things. When he mentioned Peter, she almost didn’t know what to say. She knew they weren’t on good terms but…she honestly forgot how big of a problem it was until now. “Oh! I….mm. How are you handling the leaks? I’m sorry that happened to you….but also Anna?”

SO, SHE chose to ignore everything. “ okay, that’s fuckin’ great, ” he mumbled with a shake of his head. he wasn’t sure why he expected any loyalty from the blonde, but this definitely hurt his ego a bit. “ what-fucking-ever alice. i’m done with you, ” he said with a sigh as he stood up. he’d already heard enough. “ this is fucking bullshit. ”

“Dude!” Nibs snapped, whacking the older boy’s shoulder. However, he couldn’t help but snort; Brett had a way of making him laugh in the most dire of situations. Might as well laugh some of the drama off while he still had some humor left in him. “C’mon, don’t add salt to the wound. It’s bad enough that half of the town has probably seen it. I don’t need your two cents too.”

“ LISTEN, OF all the people who could put in their two cents, mine is probably the nicest. if anything, you should especially want my two cents. ” he wasn’t sure how many other people were actually going to say anything to nibs about what had been spread around, and it was likely he was the only one who was going to mention it at all. “ surprised i was spared the nudes leak. ”

“My brain is already as muddled as it can be. Let’s not try to confuse me anymore than it already is, but fine.” Andy waved the idea of coming back to study away. “Let’s do things your way, really. I do crave that coffee.”

“ ENGLISH DOES that to you, dude. why do you think i’ve given up? ” brett really didn’t care who knew he did poorly in school. it was pretty obvious if you knew anything about him or even had a conversation with him. he was tempted to just drop out, because part of him did feel bad that he was asking his adoptive parents to help him out with student loans. “ like i always say, my way is the best way. ”

Of course she was thrown off by the tree comment. She almost even entertained the idea of asking what that meant, but that would entail with them talking- which was the last thing she wanted to do at that very moment. A smile quirked onto her face, eyes crinkling at the boy before leaning back in for another kiss, “good,” she murmured, fingers lacing into ruffled hair.

BRETT WOULD have let out a sigh of relief if his lips weren’t currently tangled up with anna’s. he placed his hand on her and leaned back so that he was lying against the bed and she was on top of him. in this new position, brett took it upon himself to trail his hand down her back and place it comfortably on her waist.

“Yeah, now it’s gross,” Matt grimaced, taking his usual spot and staring at the screen. “We gotta have cookie crisp somewhere, stupid,” he kicked his brother’s leg while he looked for his phone on the bookshelf. He didn’t find it immediately, did find one of their pipes and made sure it was clean before standing again to grab their stash jar from the kitchen. “Did you eat all the fuckin’ Cool Ranch? ‘Cause I only had like three this time, I kept track.”

HIS WHOLE body shook as he felt the impact of his brother’s foot making contact with his leg, but he didn’t acknowledge it. “ yeah, okay, but WHERE? are you hiding that shit in your room? not cool dude. i never hide cereal in my room. ” just stupid things like candy and marshmallows. “ no, i just ate the red bag. something in me needed to open a whole new bag. the sound was satisfying. ”

Matt was panicking, panicking hard. He didn’t fuck around much on social media, but Brett knew his way around, and if he did he couldn’t imagine what he’d seen already, but god he didn’t want to confront any of this. There was a bit in there, were a few bits in there, that may or may not have alluded to things happening, recent things at that, not to mention the things he had to have seen that he really didn’t have to share with family. “Bro, did you see this shit?” he yelled through the house, panicking and smashing his keyboard trying to figure out his password to delete everything. God, and he had to do this for at least two or three other platforms. “I swear to fuck I’ll knock your fucking door down,” he half-threatened. He wouldn’t, probably, maybe, but promises could not be made given the circumstances.

BRETT DIDN’T know what to do with himself. he’d never been in this situation before-- he’d never felt angry with his brother. but he did now. sure, the leak wasn’t his fault, but brett could put pieces together. not every photo was old. he had done everything to support and defend his brother from everyone who did him wrong, but did it really mean anything if matt just ran back to someone who hurt him so badly? the last thing he wanted to do was yell at his brother, but he was FRUSTRATED. so he said as little as possible. “ yeah, unfortunately i saw it, ” he responsed from the comfort of his own bed.

BRETT GERONIMI was one of the many people living in carthay with two instagram accounts. his main account is practically deserted because he spends all his time on his finsta. people who follow it may say it seems like a diary or even a cry for help, but brett will chalk it up to just needing a good rant from time to time. he makes no hesitation to talk about whoever he wants to, and just makes sure they don’t follow him. that’s the great thing about being private, isn’t it? until someone hacks his phone and sees the only thing worth exposing are the shitty things he’s posted on his second instagram. not only have they made his page public, but they made a point to tag everyone he’s mentioned so they can see just what he’s been saying about them.

BRETT GERONIMI is not one who panics. most of these he would tell people face to face, so why dwell over this? he will admit he’s made some posts he’s not proud of, but hasn’t everyone? that’s just the dangers of putting all your thoughts online. oh well-- just another lesson learned.
