Brother

Felix and I, we're brothers.

We're born by the same mother, with the same face. same voice.

We've been with each other for a very long time.

But one day Felix changed... and before we knew it we both changed.

It was very rare for him to drink, but he needed to at the very moment. Three glasses of the strongest alcohol and yet he still felt sober. The scene before him wasn't as interesting, even though he could feel the eyes of a woman staring at him he ignored her.

Sick of the music in the background, he stood up, paid for them for his drink, and went. By then the lady followed him hoping to start the conversation.

"Hey handsome~" Adrien turned to look at the small lady, her brown hair flowed down her back and her green piercing eye looked unto him. According to how she dressed it seemed she was one of the bartenders he'd been in.

"What?"

The woman looked taken aback by his harsh retort. Someone like him who looked so innocent would throw anyone at his rude reply. She smirked.

"I-i just wanted to ask for your number, since you're so good looking and I feel I've fallen for you."

"No, please leave me alone." He turned to leave when the woman wrapped her arms around him.

"Wait, don't leave me. I'm all alone and I'm scared. I don't have a place to go, please take me with you." She coaxed.

Adrien wiggled out of her hold and warned her, "If you continue like this I will call the police on you."

"But who's going to believe you."

"Excuse me?"

Suddenly what looked like an innocent woman trying to get help turned into a sly fox. The lady slowly unbuttoned her shirt, and lifted her skirt. Before she could even say another word Adrien knew what she was up to and took off, he quickly entered his car and drove off.

That was the weirdest encounter he had ever made. As he drove on he said he felt himself getting quite dizzy. His vision began to cloud. He grabbed a bottle of water and chugged it down his throat, luckily he made it just into his apartment. He slammed the door shut instead it to the elevator punching the number to his floor.

The door opened and emerge into the dark hallway, he shuffled in his pockets and inserted the key. Adrien could hear steps approach him he quickly went and attempted to close the door but someone stuck their foot in.

"Now, now Adrien that's not a way to treat a visitor." The voice spoke.

Before he could glimpse who it was he saw darkness.

No, he threw up.

Abruptly all that was in his stomach reached the throat. He quickly took hold of a flower pot and it ended up throwing up.

Adrien took a second look at his intruder and his face turned pale seeing a shocking mirror of himself.

"Felix?"

"Been a while brother."

"What are you--"

Again he threw up.

Felix walked in, obviously skipping over his brother's mess, and walking into the living room.

Adrian wiped his face on his sleeve and rose to go to the bathroom to tidy up but on his way, he noticed Felix about to penetrate his bedroom.

"H-hey, don't go in there."

Felix turns to him, "Why not?"

"Because," he clenches his tummy, "It's my room and it's private."

Felix rolled his eyes and shut the door. "Fine."

Adrien steps out of the bathroom feeling awful, "I'm never drinking again."

"You said that the last time."

"That's different... Besides, why are you here?"

Felix spun around with a grin on his face, " I came to visit my dear little brother."

"Nonsense, last time you came you called me an annoying fat rat."

"You still are..." Felix mumbled, "That aside you should be grateful I'm visiting you."

"I thought I told you to never come here again."

Felix held a single flower from its vase, "I never promised."

Adrien swore under his breath, "Every year," he began, "there's always something you're looking for, that's why you came."

"You summoned me. I just did the right thing."

"I didn't ask for you to come." Adrien started to feel irritated by the presence of his twin.

"But I can sense your anger, you're angry aren't you, did someone do something wrong to you? let me deal with them if you want I can do it now."

"I don't need your help I'm fine the way I am."

"Oh, but don't lie. I can't let my brother be left hurt. tell me who is it? I'll find them."

"It's no one."

"Adrien!" Felix walked to him, "it's okay to feel betrayed, you can tell me, I'm your big brother aren't I?"

"Only by 3 minutes," he said bluntly.

"But your best help out there." Felix placed his hand on Adrien's shoulder but he slapped it away.

"I don't need your pity Felix, it's nothing."

"So you're just going to let her leave you like that? after using you?"

"What are you trying to imply?"

"She just used and dumped you and worst of all she quickly got another man to spoil her dirty."

Adrien took a deep breath in, "Felix, she's gone. She chose to leave so I let her go--"

"Now you're just lying." Felix chuckled, "You loved her, with all your heart. You opened to her and--"

"Felix keep quiet!"

"Let me avenge you."

"What? That doesn't make sense."

"Just let me go, let me take over the problem."

"Another word from you and I'll never speak to you again."

Felix fell silent.

"Fine, I'll just do it myself."

The blonde walked away leaving the owner in deep fear.

Felix is capable of anything, I have to stop him.

"Felix." Adrien called, the blonde turned halfway, "Don't do anything foolish." The young man warned.

Felix clicked his tongue as he playfully said, "Now brother have I ever kept a promise?"

As the figure vanished Adrien could slowly taste the metal rust in the air.

He stepped out of the apartment late that night and treaded on the snowy pavement. The city lights cast light over the snow making the town look lighter than usual.

He stood at the bus stop and climbed into the bus. He found himself later standing on the porch of a loud household.

...

An hour later there was red involved.
