“We… really do, don’t we?” They’d been through SO MUCH together, always moving forward– ONWARD –together. “Hey, Barley? I, uh… I love you. You– You know that, right?”

Instinctively, he wants to let out a groan and ROLL HIS EYES at Barley’s response, but he refrains, having been trying exceptionally hard as of late to break himself of that OLD HABIT. Ian lets out a heavy SIGH as his hand grips the doorknob, palms sweaty, and opens the door to find Barley right at home in his SANCTUARY OF SANCTUARIES. He slips in with a little NERVOUS smile, shutting the door behind him and trudging his way over to the bed, FACE-PLANTING into the covers.

There’s just SILENCE from him for a good minute or two, Ian just laying with his face buried in the blankets on Barley’s bed. “Why is making friends so DIFFICULT–?” His voice is muffled by the blankets, but he’s sure Barley can make it out. “I do a little MAGIC, and everyone’s my friend for, like… a MONTH.” He rolls over, staring up at the ceiling. “I dunno, Barley, I feel like now that things have calmed down, everyone’s just… FORGOTTEN about me. Like things are BACK TO NORMAL.”

the smile plastered on his face doesn’t fall once,  WARPING itself to become one filled with full blown amusement.  it’s not like he was making fun of his brother’s current state of distress,   quite frankly ian always tended to freak out in a crisis.   even before he could walk,  barley could remember his younger brother become HYSTERICAL over the tiniest of things & even now as a boy maturing into adulthood,  that had become a prominent part of his own character.    it was instinctively something he learnt to deal with all by himself,   occasionally with their mother’s input but for the most part it was something that barley took in with strides.   he snorts,  laughter following through all at once but he controls himself once he actually acknowledges ian WASTING away on his messy bed.   to say he looked miserable was actually understatement,  even someone who wasn’t all there could see that his brother’s flair for the dramatics had in this instance gone overboard.   ❛  friendship isn’t a one-way street.  ❜  he finally chides in,  observing ian’s sprawled out form.   ❛  you have to work at it with your social skills!  ❜  

     it was always like barley to change his demeanor after a little while, but ian had to think that it was all a facade to make ian not worry about what they had talked about earlier that day–and right now ian was glad about it. he didn’t want their first conversation when he got back to be something so dark and gruesome. instead it was a breath of fresh air to see barley look so pumped about getting the canned pasta. they were definitely going to be eating like kings later tonight, that’s for sure. 

     but then ian heard the groaning from the basement and there was a sharp pain in his heart because of it mixed with gratefulness. barley didn’t do away with their mother when he was out on patrol, but that also meant that she was still suffering down there all alone with only one thing on her mind–hunger. ian knew this wasn’t a life for her, but at the same time he was saving her just in case he could bring her back, that was a good thing, right? he had good intentions. 

     and then the question that barley brought up, how things were outside. 

          “well, i mean i didn’t get bit or anything like that–there are still roamers around the place, not very many though since the outbreak.” he said as he held his staff tightly in his hands. he and barley both were the cause of doing away with many of the undead strolling around the town. “um…colt’s still out there too..” he had seen the centaur munching on some poor mermaid that didn’t make it back to the water in time and he shivered at the thought. “i would have done something but i didn’t want to attract anything..y’know?” 

     he could be labeled as a coward, he didn’t care, but he wasn’t going to die. not until he found a cure for this curse. 

guilt overcomes him instantly at the mentioning of their former to-be stepfather,   considering how ROCKY his dynamic had been with the centaur,  it was only made said feelings more apparent now in the aftermath of things.  COLT BRONCO deep down inside had only been someone trying to put the pieces back together in what was an already broken home,   sure he had been authoritative & demeaning in many ways but it wasn’t like barley was exactly an innocent bystander.   he constantly criticized him,   made him less because of the role he had played then in turn maybe colt just retaliated,  gave up trying altogether to instead give focus to the support their mom needed.  it was too late now to ponder over said thoughts but if barley could have a DO-OVER,   he’d for certain start there.     ❛  there was nothing you could’ve done.  ❜   his words provide a certain kind of ASSURANCE,  deciding to drop his previously concealed thoughts of liability.   the last thing he wanted was to lead his brother into a unwarranted conversation about everything that was going on inside,   they were his own demons to handle,   a burden that he would continue to inflict upon himself until everything was said & done --- whenever that was.   considering that they had been living like this over a year now,  it was a highly unlikely scenario.   he had predicted that they wouldn’t even last the first six months,   but ian’s perseverance kept them going,  not even his knowledge on all things magic had provided some sort of scapegoat.  all they had been relying on was their own wit & self-made luck.  

He’s hesitant to bother his older brother with something that seems SO SILLY, but the need to talk has just been EATING AWAY at him from the inside-out. Standing at the door to Barley’s room, he raps on the wood a few times with his knuckles. “H– Hey, um… Hey, BARLEY? You in there?” | @seeksquest​
