"Keefe, whatcha doing?" The younger boy leans against his brother's doorframe, watching him hunch over his desk drawing something.

"nothing" he responds not even looking up as he responds to his brother's question, his full attention on his drawing.

"don't believe you" he responds, tempted to peek over his brother's shoulder, but if he was in Keefe's position he would want that so he instead adds "its a drawing of you and Sophie isnt it?" he speaks nonchalantly 

"what? no" although his blush could almost be heard as he spoke.

"it totally is" he grins 

"i can practically feel your smugness from over here" Keefe said, trying to change the topic.

"yeah cause you're an empath" he jokingly rolled his eyes.

"so are you" he reminds the smaller boy.

"yeah, but no where as strong as yours" he started idly forming animals with water with his hydrokenisis. 


After an awkward moment of silence...


Keefe turned his head around "ANYWAYS, what did you want? or did you just want to annoy me?" Keefe could feel Apollo's shift in emotions, though it was super clear because he was across the room. "it was something wasn't it?" he turns his chair to face his brother.

"dam empaths" he muttered, idly braiding his short blond hair.

"again, youre one too" he repeats. "you cant get out of this though" he stares at Apollo.

"ugh" he splashes Keefe, carful to not get any on his drawing, "fine. but you have to show me that drawing."


the two boys stare at each other for a soild two minutes 


"fine" Keefe finally says "but youre going first"

"ugh fine" Apollo rolled his eyes



He took a deep breath









"me gusta, gemelo, dos" (I like twin two) he says quickly, as he knocks his knuckles against the doorframe seven times.








"wait... I didn't teach you that?" Keefe responds, his newfound polyglotism immediately translating the sentence.

"Sophie did" he's still filled with an axious energy




"gemelo dos? and seven knocks?.... Bangs Boy?... " Keefe asks

Apollo flushes "yeah..."

"why are you so anxious about this?" Keefe can't figure out what Apollo is so anxious... he knows thst he likes boys and girls... why would he care about this?
