Roman yawned as he mindlessly scrolled through YouTube on his TV. His parents had already gone to bed but he wasn't quite ready yet. (He planned to stay up to do homework but the past hour already proved his plans wrong.)

There was a knock at his door, confusing him greatly as he went to answer it. Deliveries weren't usually made at this time and the door-to-door preachers and sellers were asleep by now. His best friend, Logan, stood at the door, nervously clinging to his bag of sleepover essentials as he let his hair cover his eyes.

"I'm sorry that it's so late. Can I stay the night?" Logan said in an uncharacteristically quiet and shaky voice. Roman gulped nervously, nodding and inviting Logan inside the house. "Do you want to talk about what's wrong or do you just want to get settled in?" The awkward boy wiped the tears staining his cheeks. "Um, I need your help with something but I don't want to talk about it. Please."

Roman nodded, still worried, and followed him as he made his way to the restroom. Logan dropped his duffel bag and began taking off his shirt. Roman instinctually looked away before looking back as he noticed the injuries all over his best friend's torso. As Logan looked up at the wall, Roman realized there were bruises and scratches over his cheeks as well. 

"I don't have bandages at home and I can't reach the ones on my back. The rest are already disinfected." Logan said quietly, sitting on the toilet lid. Anger and concern flared and swirled in Roman's chest. Roman wasn't sure who hurt his friend this badly, but whoever did was going to pay one way or another.

Roman shook the thought away and grabbed the first aid kit from under the sink, getting to work on cleaning the injuries. "Again, I'm sorry for coming here so late at night." The boy standing up shook his head. "Logan, you're like a second brother to me, you're welcome here just as much as me or Remus. Especially if you need help, you can come at any time, day or night." Logan sniffled a little. "My parents aren't in town right now so you're the only other person I can depend on."

Once he figured he was done, Roman pulled Logan into a gentle, soft hug. "I'm glad you came here. I'll go ahead and let you get changed, I'll be in the kitchen if you need me." With a curt nod from Logan, he left the restroom, searching through the kitchen cabinets for a light snack, water, and some aspirin. "Ro, why are you up?" Roman's twin brother, Remus, stood at the entryway to the kitchen, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"Logan's here, he's hurt and he doesn't want to talk about it." Remus snorted sarcastically as he grabbed a Go-Gurt from the fridge. "Well, I wouldn't want to talk about it either if Johnny fucking Miller kicked my ass into oblivion." Roman froze. "What?"

Remus raised an eyebrow at him before pulling out his phone. "It happened after school, everyone's been talking about it." He showed his brother the phone screen, Roman watched in horror as Logan pushed Johnny angrily, shouting something incoherant before Johnny punched him. Logan fell to the ground, Johnny continued to beat on him until the video ended.

"If I were you, I wouldn't bring it up just yet. My friends told me that Johnny started it by making fun of the two of you, talking about Logan's family issues, all that; so he might still be pissed about that." Roman bit his lip, and nodded. "Thanks, Remus."

As Roman and Logan laid in the dark, attempting to sleep, the latter sighed before hesitantly asking, "Did you really...mean what you said? That I'm your...brother?" He finished in q quiet voice. Roman glanced at where he knew his best friend was, despite not being able to see in the dark. "Of course. You're my best friend, Logan, you have been for years. I love you just as much as I love Remus and my parents." 

A moment passed before Logan rolled over, giving Roman a tight hug. Roman returned it, only gently squeezing when he felt wetness on his shoulder.

'My brother, my second brother.' Roman thought as he tried to show how much he loved the boy in his arms through a hug.
