Nothing's new to Daniel.
He's been taking care of his brothers since he was a small kid, nothing's new there. Bolt is sick, he takes care of him, he'll get better and move on.
Except, something's different.
Renan was always hopeful he'd get better so they could play on the beach again, and sad he'd have to go back to school once he felt better. But this time, Renan seems off.
He doesn't look hopeful or strong, instead, he's greeted with the sight of a weak, helpless man laying limp on his bed, not wanting to try and get better at all every time he enters the younger's room. That wasn't the Renan he knew, not at all.
He turned the phone call off after discussing this with their parents, Dani would have to keep trying until he did something and eventually got better, by his own will or by Dani's annoyance. He then grabbed a sack of lunch and notes and walked to the younger's room.
Dani opened the door slowly as to not startle Bolt, who didn't react. At first he thought he was asleep, but after a few seconds he saw him move his blanket up until it covered most of his head, his feet hanging out of the warmth of the blanket.
"... Renan?" He called, no response, "Daeyong." He called once again, no response. "Bolt-"
"What do you want?" His voice sounded hoarse and annoyed like he barely spoke in days, Dani sat on the side of the bed, placing the food and notes on his lap. "It's lunch time."
"... I don't want to." Bolt complained, which made Dani sigh. "You have to, the doctor said so."
"Who says I care what the doctor said?"
"Who says I care what you say?" He replied and Bolt whined. They stayed in silence for a moment, Dani tried to find a way of convincing him.
"... Leo came over, she just left." He felt Bolt grab on his sheets tighter. "She left food for you, and some vitamins-"
"I don't need those, I said I am not a child." He complained again but Dani didn't listen.
"Minjoon also called, he wanted to know how you were… If you were okay…" He continued, Bolt's grip loosened. "I said you'd be okay, um, Bruno also called, he wanted to see you but- but I said it'd be better to wait until you were better, y'know?" He looked down, "I wrote their messages down if you wanna read them." He quietly played with the pieces of paper on his hands. "Do you mind if I read you some?"
Bolt just nodded.
"Alright then, I'll do it." Dani grabbed the first note, "this one's from Bruno. He wanted me to tell you that," he clears his throat and starts reading, "... I hope you feel better soon so we can go in more adventures, Brazil fighting!" Dani chuckles, and Bolt smiles even though Daniel can't see him. "Lele didn't sent a message exactly because she stayed for so little, but she said you should eat your food and vitamins to feel strong again, so you better listen!" Bolt sighed.
"... Minjoon left a note too." Bolt turned slightly, the blanket covered all but his curious eyes, "he said you have to rest and be healthy before trying anything, and that your health is more important than our debut… He's right, yknow?"
Bolt scoffed. "Yeah, no shit."
"Renan!" Daniel called him out. "Anyways, c'mon, you have to eat." He started pulling the covers away gently, and Bolt grabbed and pulled them back harshly, covering his head this time. "Hey! Ugh!" Dani complained, not knowing how to make him eat.
"Why won't you eat, you know you have to!"
"Why don't you leave me the fuck alone? Huh? Sounds good to me!" He yelled at his older brother, an uncomfortable silence fell in the room.
Daniel was used to Renan throwing a fit and refusing to work with him, that wasn't new. He knew it would take time to convince him, as much as he wanted to just shove the food down his throat, it wouldn't solve the biggest issue: Renan wasn't cooperating. He'd eventually stop whining and do what was needed but it's been three days and he wasn't getting any better.
He set the food down on the side table. "I'll leave this here, you better eat it before I come back." He pat Bolt's arm over the blanket and got up. He could listen to Bolt call him an asshole under his breath, but he didn't dare to turn around and get into another fight. His little brother was just upset, and that would stop, eventually, just like it happens every time.
None of this is new to Daniel.
