Zephan;
"What's wrong with you, Zethar?" The words leave my mouth as I watch my brother closely, and he smiles.
That stubborn smile he always gives when he's hiding something.
"What are you talking about? I'm fine." He lies, and my eyes notice the reluctant coil of his tail behind him.
"I missed you while I was away." He speaks as he slithers closer to me.
"Did you miss me, brother?" He questions as he opens his arms, and I look back at his face.
He's smiling, but I can feel his hurt.
He forgets every time that I can feel bits of his emotion. He forgets I can feel bits of his emotion… the sorrow in him is in my heart too
He treats me like the rest of the world, but he forgets that we hatched from the same egg.
I smile at him as I know he hates pity, and I move closer to him.
I pull him into a hug, and he buries his face in my neck as my arms wrap around him.
I gently stroke his hair, and he lets out a breath.
