In honor of the anon being a piece of trash, I request my trash son Gamma interacting with cinnamon bun son Theta. <3
Gamma absolutely could not understand his younger brother sometimes.Theta seemed to have an endless supply of energy. He was forever running around the base, talking to this person and that, playing games and making noise. He always underfoot of the others, be it their siblings or the mercenaries, but never seems to be a bother.Nothing like how Gamma felt he was.
He stayed withdrawn a lot, quiet as he interacted with people in his own way and time. More often than not he found himself listening, a comfortable background actor in the stage of whatever scene lay before him. While Theta easily took center stage.
He never understood how easy it was for Theta to just embody cheerfulness and energy when some days walking into the room and asking a single question took such a toll for himself.
But for all he couldn’t understand, Gamma did know that he was one of the few people that Theta came to when he needed some time to be quiet. And those moments? When Theta would curl up next to him on the couch or in one of their rooms and quietly let Gamma play with his flyaway hair?
Those moments were everything Gamma didn’t know how to ask for, and they rang with a perfect clarity.
