[CLOSED] goodbye means nothing at all.

Chandler looked up from messing with his fingers. "I guess." He said with a shrug. His brother didn't seem old enough to drink. But if he'd missed out on as much as Terance said he did, he had probably gotten much older than he last remembered. He rubbed absently at his nose, then started messing with his fingers again. He pulled off a piece of skin, and he looked at the blood with little interest.

Terance sighed. "We don't have to if you dont want," He mumbled, getting up and padding to the kitchen. He pulled out a bottle of water and returned, twisting off the cap and taking a swallow. He eyed Chandler again, huffed and looked down at the floor.

"I really don't care either way." He said with another shrug. That disappointment washed over him again, and he was sure he had done something wrong. There was no other explanation why Terance would be mad at him. He yawned, then stood and fixed his jeans. He walked to the bathroom, washing the dirt and dried blood from his face, chest, and arms. Then he walked back, rubbing at a scarred leg.

Terance worked his jaw. "Of course you don't. You kniw, I thought seeing my brother again would be something of a gift." He bit his lip. It felt more like a burden, how could they do this to him? Be rubbed at his face, heading back to the kitchen and moving things around, and cursed before texting Devan and telling her to bring him coffee.

"Of course. Because who wants a God knows hold old baby following them around, right? Sorry I couldn't be moma's baby." It crossed his mind where their mother was. Then where their father was. He chewed on his lip, obviously agitated.

"Seriously. What the fuck did I do to get your fucking panties in a bunch, Terance? You've been pissed at me since yesterday." Chandler said, finally agitated enough to question him.

Terance gritted his teeth. "I never said that," He spat from the kitchen. Terance had always held things in, avoided people. So when he finally got pissed which wasn't often, he snapped. "Maybe if you fucking hadn't let one of my only God damn friends piss you off and tried to leave, you wouldn't have killed people huh? Maybe if you had given it a little more time instead of walking out on me again just as soon as I got you back, you wouldn't have been fucking brainwashed." Ruby eyes glinted, and then his jaw trembled and he looked away, backing into the kitchen and wiping discreetly at the tears on his cheeks, trying to find an excuse to hide his face. "I can handle seven years trying to cope to survive, okay? I can't handle the one fucking day you came back after those seven years not meaning a thing because you can't remember."

Chandler gritted his teeth, glaring at Terance from the chair he was in. "You don't think I don't love every day I have with you, because I do. You've always meant the world to me, ever since you were born. You're always gonna be my little brother, and you're always going to be everything to me. I'm fucking sorry I can't remember, okay? I'm sorry. But you're never going to mean any less to me. Every day with you means the world to me." He looked away, trying to stare a hole in the wall.

"Yeah, that's why you killed them huh?" There was a knock at the door and he wiped agrily at red rimmed eyes again. He had told Devan not to say anything, that Chandler wouldn't remember. He opened the door, reaching for his coffee and expecting her to leave again soon after. But instead she took one look at him and wrapped arms over his bare, scarred torso, hugging him tight. He drew in a breath, shoulders trembling faintly as he tried to push away all emotion.

Chandler watched them, then looked away. He chewed on his lip again, looking over at the TV. He didn't care to watch people display emotion. Plus, she was a girl. And he despised girls. He walked off to the bathroom, standing in there for awhile just to avoid the two. He finally walked out of the bathroom and took his chair again. He pulled his legs up into his chair, looking blankly over at the TV.

Terance said bye to her, that he would see her tonight at the bar no matter what Chandler wanted to do. He sat down on the couch, sipping at his coffee, and looked up as Chandler came back. "Sniper runs and hides, huh?" He mumbled, taking another swallowed. He rubbed at his face, hated being in a bad mood.
