episode 12
Peter
What's going on, Eli?
Elias
It's a game we like to play. Mike is a little jumpy
And completely at their mercy, the guards drag me to the car
I climb into the car with Elias and Peter in the back seat as Elias's guards sit in the front
Elias
So what exactly happened before I arrived?
Mike
So some thugs were harassing Peter
Elias's voice rises with the ferocity of an animal, his eyes widening before darkness takes hold of him
Peter
Mike saved me from some jerks.
Peter
They wanted to hurt me,
Peter
But Mike helped me to escape
Elias's rage quells as he looks to me in clear surprise
Peter's eyes are wide with excitement and admiration, I smiled at him because he looks so cute
Elias Crosses's his arms over his chest, his stare cold and calculating as he assesses me
Elias
You were trying to go back to your bookshop, I get it
Elias
But why did you stop to help Peter
Peter's voice raises a little, clearly showing his upset
Peter
I...I wouldn't lie. Mike really did help me
The scoff is clear in Elias's voice as Peter turns are back, trusting eyes to me
Peter
It is! You know I'm not lying, mike
Mike
Peter is telling the truth
Mike
you know this is the rough part of the town
Mike
We got away. It's not a big deal
Peter
You should have seen it, Eli!
Peter
I never would have escaped if it weren't for Mike
Peter
I want to be just like him,
Mike
You were brave, to dude
Peter grins at the compliment
Peter
I'm not as cool as you though
Elias
Peter wasn't the only brave one
I look up and meet Elias's eyes. He holds my gaze for a long moment
Mike
I was just doing the right thing. No one likes a bully
Elias
No... well in that case, it's fortunate you were here however
Elias
We will be discussing the circumstances that brought you here
Elias fall quiet for a moment, staring out the window
Peter
I can't believe you're living at our house
Peter
Mike! How come I didn't see you before
Mike
I was, uh, trapped in the library
Peter
Ohhh. Yeah, I don't go in there much. Eli says I should, but
Peter
My grades are already good
Elias
You can always study more
Peter
Aren't big brothers supposed to have fun and stuff
Peter pouts and I can't help but stare at the two of them
Mike
*I haven't seen Elias be so... normal, kind, even*
Mike
It's hard to tell that you are brothers with the age difference
Elias
Peter is my half brother. We share a father but as you've noticed...
Elias
I'm a little older...I guess
Mike
What happened to your father
