"Even after Aurora gave me the gift of true free will, I held onto my weapons," Ramattra says. "I was treated like a rabid animal and my kin were put down like they were before my very eyes. This is an experience that is, ironically, so human. But to an empirically limited number... that is an experience only Omnics hold."

Emre's surprised to feel a hand slide down the length of his thigh. Gently hooking his hand under Emre's knee, Ramattra raises his leg.

"There's no ports on my legs," Emre gets out, blushing.

Ramattra looks for another moment, then hums. He rests the limb back on the cold ground gently. "You do not share that experience, but we are so much more alike than you may realize."

Over a decade of separation and longing. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and tests how unconditional love can be between brothers.

Some men see the Virgin Mary in their scrambled eggs and Christ in their coffee. Dean sees his brother in the credits of a random action flick. Ryland sees his face mirrored on a news segment about murder plots and suicide. Colt sees them all reflected in the night sky along Orion’s Belt, never knowing how close they’d come to touching the stars.

“You ask so many damn questions, I want you to know that,” Sebastian scoffs, angling away from the other man.

“You ask them, then,” Jacob says. He’s utterly rooted in place by how the sharp lighting makes Sebastian’s eyes a blue so clear he could drink from them, his hair being cast into the brilliant golden glow.

“Alright,” Sebastian hums, fingers tapping the neck of his cocktail glass. “Are you trying to take me home?”

Jacob is struck speechless for a moment. He hadn’t expected to be called out for his intentions so brazenly, used to playing cat and mouse with those he was trying to court.

“Yeah,” he says, having to swallow dryly to get the words to come out. “Yeah, I am.”
