“… It’s… really official… wow..” “What’s official?” “… we’re stepbrothers… we’re not just… sharing a house and sleeping in the same bedroom. We’re actual stepbrothers.” “*Shrugs* I don’t think it’s a bad thing.” “I don’t either.” “Then, why are you talking about it like it is? I mean, it’s a good thing, right?” “… I mean… I… it’s nothing.” “W-what is it?” “Nothing, it’s stupid.” “No, it’s not, tell me. What is it?” “W-well… I just… I never really expected to have a brother, I guess. It’s been just me, Meghan and Mom for, what, 7 years? Then. you and Walter came along and… I dunno, I’m still getting used to it. It’s still weird thinking about how I have another guy my age in the house. And a dad.” “Oh… well, if it… if it makes you feel any better, I still think it’s weird having a mom.” “Seriously?” “Yeah. My mom had to leave because of her job and I chose to stay here, and like you, it’s just been me and dad for most of my life. I never thought I’d have siblings or a mom again, but now, I’m glad I do. Even if the sister is a demon. 3:” “*Chuckle* “C’mon, you haven’t even seen half of what she could do… but… thanks.” “For what?” “… reminding me I’m not the only one who feels weird about this. And… for being a good brother so far.” “:D Really??” “Yeah. I mean, I never have to do my laundry again.” “x| Very funny. I’m gonna take my picture by the garden arch. See ya.” “Wait, you weren’t gonna do that without me, were you?” “… You wanna do a photo with me?”

“… Sure, why not?”
