Episode 4

It was midnight, I couldn't sleep with all those torturous moans. It destroyed me completely, I couldn't bear to stay there anymore. I get up and leave the house. I walked through the streets, it was cold. I could see my breath due to how cold it was, I couldn't go back there, even though I was underdressed. I just wanted to get away.

I walked for a long time, my stomach grumbling, but I hadn't taken any money. I sat on the steps near the cafe. I was sleepy, practically falling asleep sitting up.

Dawn broke...

Inside the house...

Thierry: *I sit on the bed and stare at the woman who was sleeping peacefully in my bed. I get up and do my morning routine, then go to the kitchen and make my coffee, strange not to see my brother and I go to his room. Upon seeing that he wasn't there, I panic, where could he be? Thierry dresses appropriately and goes outside the house when he comes face to face with Eloi sitting on the steps downcast.

Thierry: * I sigh with relief and look at him coldly. | Hey!

Eloi: - I hear that cold voice but I don't have the courage to look at his face and continue downcast.

Thierry: Come eat. * I say in a dry tone.

Eloi: - the tone he used when talking to me hurt me in a cruel and overwhelming way.

Eloi: I'm not hungry... - I say reluctantly.

Thierry: *I startle at such nonsense\, I could hear his stomach rumbling\, how could he have the audacity to say he's not hungry? I go to him and pull him by the arm. | Come on!

Eloi: - I am surprised by his action and follow him back home. When we get there, I sit at the table and see him place a plate of food and coffee in front of me.

Thierry: *I sit in front of him and stare at him. I see him looking at me sadly.

Eloi: - I sigh deeply and smell that I haven't felt in ages\, the food made by him\, is simply delicious\, capable of taking me to heaven in moments. | You don't need to take care of me... when I get settled here\, I'll leave and fend for myself...

Thierry: *I startle at that\, I didn't want him away from me\, not for a second. | Are you sure? I don't mind living with you...

Eloi: - I look at him confused. | You want me here?

Thierry: just lower my head confirming.

Thierry: why don't you want to stay here?

Eloi: - I look away.

Thierry: *be honest.

Eloi: the moans... they make it hard for me to sleep... - I look away.

Thierry: *I just brought whoever I wanted here and didn't even consider his presence here.

Eloi: ... - I look at him questioningly.

Thierry: I promise I won't bring anyone else here... but promise me you'll eat better...

Eloi: hmm. - I confirm. I start eating that delicious food with a silly smile on my face.

Thierry: ... *seeing that beautiful smile, I smile discreetly.

... THIERRY!!!!

...I hear that shout echoing from the room and look away sadly. Seriously? This again? I hope he keeps his promise... Upon hearing the woman, he sighs and goes to the room.

Eloi: - I sigh tiredly. I lost my appetite... I go to my room and get ready for university.
