But not cute enough, he thought. Leo decided to keep that to himself and blushed. "Am not..." he pouted, turning his head to the side in embarrassment. He loved when his brother told him how cute he was, he just didn't know how to take a compliment. Nobody else called him cute, but then again he didn't act like this with anyone else.

Asher smiled at Leo's denial. "You're not convincing anyone," he teased as he poked Leo's cheek once again. "You're seriously just like a cat." As far as he knew, his brother was only like this when they were alone. He knew it would eventually end and his brother would grow to be mature, but he could enjoy these moments for now.

Leo looked dumbfounded at the cat comment and looked up at his brother. "A cat.....really??" he asked, apparently unimpressed at the comment. "I am not a cat...cats are stupid and lazy." he grumbled, his brother was only proving at how quickly his 'cuteness' wore off with people. For once Leo wished he could get what he wanted.

"Cats can be smart, and you kinda act as needy as a cat," Asher stated as if to support his comment. He wasn't sure why he had suddenly started comparing his brother to a cat, but he felt the need for another sort of conversation. This one was probably going to go nowhere. Maybe he can ask Leo why he loved him in the romantic sense, but that seemed like an uncomfortable topic. Still, it stuck to his mind. Their relationship had always been that of close brothers. What changed?

Leo wasn't sure if he liked that example, he didn't like being needy. "I guess I am pretty needy..." he said softly, turning back onto his side once again so Ash wouldn't see his disappointment, Leo was starting to think that an end to this day would be nice. He would be able to start fresh in the morning and forget about everything. Maybe he should just give up this goal he had. He was only thirteen after all.

It was only early evening, Asher guessed, but it seemed he was already tired. "Wanna just sleep for the rest of the day?" he asked Leo, preparing to lie down. "Let's just get some sleep so we can enjoy the park tomorrow. How does that sound?"

Leo gave a soft sigh. "Yeah....tomorrow will be a better day." he tried to convince himself as he sat up. "Can I....sleep in your bed?" he asked softly as he began to wonder if they should even have a separate bed for him. Leo wouldn't mention anything about it for now, it might be a good thing to have a separate bed for himself in the future.

"Yeah. Whenever you want to," Asher answered, getting up and leading Leo to his bed. Lying down, he once again protectively held his brother close. He was sure he felt some hopelessness in Leo's atmosphere, and he wanted to disperse it, but what could he do when he didn't know the cause?

Leo settled into the bed with his brother but instead of facing Asher's chest like normal, he turned onto his side so his back was against Asher's chest. Maybe it was a good idea to give up, if only to spare himself from getting hurt.

The fact that Leo was facing away from him this time bothered Asher. Now he knew something was wrong. "Leo, why don't you face me?" he asked, genuinely confused, but he didn't force his brother to turn. That might make things even worse.

Leo had to place both of his hands over his mouth to keep himself from sobbing loudly. If his brother found out how upset he was he wouldn't be able to hide anything anymore. Leo took a second to force the lump in his throat to go away before he spoke. "Don't.....don't worry about it...." he said softly as his own tears defied his will to keep them away. Leo was starting to think how stupid it was to sleep with his brother so close to him.

"Was it something I said?" Asher asked, seeing that his brother was on the verge of tears. "Talk to me, Leo. How can I help you if you don't tell me what the matter is?" Now he turned his brother to face him and started to wipe away the tears. Maybe Leo was just that homesick. Their sudden change in environment was enough to take a toll on him.

Leo had to force himself to breathe, the lump in his throat was starting to take most of his attention. He felt Asher's hand on his arm, turning him onto his back to face him. "N-no!" he said worriedly, he hated Asher seeing him like this, he felt like a baby sometimes. There was no way he could tell his brother the truth, some people would call him selfish in trying to get his brother to love him back through tears and sucking up. "I.......I told you...." he started, but he just couldn't force the words he wanted to say. "....I miss home...." he lied unconvincingly.

Satisfied with the answer, Asher pressed Leo against him and started patting his back. "I'm sorry I didn't work hard enough to keep my job and our apartment," he said remorsefully. The main reason they were here was because they needed a place to live, after all. If he never ended up in the hospital, there might have been a chance that they could stay in their apartment and live out the rest of their lives in peace.

Leo sniffled, he hated lying. "I don't want you to blame yourself." he said softly as he lay still on the bed and tried to dry his tears. "Things have just been so crazy and out of control. I miss the days when I made dinner and cleaned while you were at work."
