NATE
Nates eyes go wide as his brothers words land, surprise taking its time cross his face while embarrassment rushes right after it. “That would have been so much smarter.” A low, almost hysterical huff of laughter leaves him, a hand coming up to bump his forehead.
Though, clearly it hadn’t mattered much anyway, neither of them apparently successful in keeping their better half intact. And that had always been a kind of silver lining, when Nate could peek through his fingers at the void inside of him. Bart had never known them as anything other than whole. Except he had, was standing there in front of Nate on the other side of a chasm, and he found he didn’t give a shit about any of the pain either of them had felt at all, because they were whole again.
They have a lot to talk about. So much, so much that Nate really can’t even parse any of it. It’s more important to simply hold his brother. He walks them backwards to the bed, gets them snuggled close in a way he hasn’t since they were children hiding away from shouting. Pulls the blanket over them just for extra effect. And he wraps his arms around Bart and squeezes him like he can’t tell how hard he’s holding.
They can talk later.
