Aaron was a soft, caring, and somewhat "feminine. " Since this is how Aaron was by nature, Sean was more than willing to make up for his brother's caring abilities by being the "macho jock" type. Sean worked out daily by lifting weights, running, and attending sports practice. When Aaron was 10 and Sean was 14 Aaron was cheering on his brother from the stands of his football game. It always made Sean happy when his brother was there. He felt like he could do anything and in this case he was the literal truth. Something about his brother gave him strength and power. Aaron's support gave Sean the ability to be a great athlete and it didn't go unnoticed by the high school recruiters. When Sean started high school he was automatically drafted into the varsity team and became very popular among the jocks, cheerleaders, and the popular kids in general. Sean, however, always made time for his baby brother. This is the point where Sean's protective streak started to become more noticed by the neighborhood bullies. Aaron decided to go for a walk in the nearby park one day and had gotten about a mile down the walk way when a group of teenage boys started harassing him. "Faggot!" One of the boys shouted. The boys started pushing and taunting Little Aaron. With the lack of strength he was unable to defend himself against the older boys. Aaron started crying not knowing what to do. He tried to run from the group of boys but he was soon caught and beaten. Aaron struggled to get home. His leg was broken and his face and body was bloodied and bruised. Sean saw Aaron coming down the drive and his heart sank. Not thinking about anything other than his little brother, Sean took off out the door and scooped up his brother and carried him in the house. Their father, as usual, was at the bar getting drunk and picking up whores. Sean had no way of helping Aaron so he called the police and they took him to the hospital. As Sean waited in the emergency room waiting room, the doctor came out and told him that his brother would be in the hospital for a couple of days. His spleen had been ruptured and had to have emergency surgery. "Since we can't reach your father, he has to stay here until we can get permission to treat him further." The doctor said. "I will keep trying to get him, but I don't know when he will answer his phone." Sean said with sadness. The next day their father came to the hospital to sign the paperwork necessary for treatment and told Sean that he has to take care of the "queer." His only responsibility was to write his name and give them insurance info. Sean couldn't believe his father. He knew that his father didn't care for Aaron, but this was enough to piss him off beyond anything. "You asshole! I don't know why you would treat your own son like this. You don't deserve to be a father. What would mom say to you if she was alive? You are pathetic!" Sean was screaming at this point. Sean just walked off, he couldn't believe his father. He wanted nothing to do with him. A week went by and Aaron got worse. He began running a fever and the doctor said he got an infection that made its way into his blood. They had Aaron on anti-biotic fluids. The medication didn't seem to be helping. "Sean?" Aaron asked. "I can only fight this if you help me. I know you love me, but this might seem strange to you, but it will kill the infection." Sean would do anything to save his brother so he quickly said "anything!" "Come over here Sean. I need you to kiss me. Not like a brother, but like a lover." Sean was confused and shocked. "We are brothers, that wouldn't be right. Besides, I don't see how that would help." Sean said with a quizzical look on his face. "Just trust me." Aaron said. Sean made his way over to the bed and gently leaned down to place his lips over Aaron's smooth silky lips. When their lips made contact, a warm feeling came over Sean and a faint glow passed between them. Their kiss deepened as their tongues began to mingle with each other. The deeper the kiss got the brighter and more opaque the light got until the room was filled with a warm soft glow. Sean was so engrossed with the kiss and the warm feeling that he didn't notice the light but as the kiss broke all that was left was the feeling of warmth, love, strength, and confusion. He had never looked at his brother in this way, but now he had no choice but to confront his feelings. The next day Aarons fever broke and the infection was completely gone. To Sean's surprise, he didn't know how or why the kiss worked but he couldn't be thankful enough that it did; he didn't know how he would live without his brother. The next problem he had to deal with was their father. Aaron would be coming home soon and now that he knew how his father felt towards his baby brother, Sean knew he had to face the issue somehow. When Aaron and Sean got home the next day, their father was already drunk and had a sneer on his face. "It's your fucking fault for being such a damn sissy. It should have been you who died and not your mother!" Their father was slurring to his youngest son. "Fuck you asshole! Aaron has done nothing but love us and this is how you treat your son. If you dare insult him or hurt him any anyway I WILL kick your ass!" Sean became the protector once again. Aaron was crying by this time, but it was not because of what his father said but it was because of the love he felt for his brother. Aaron not only loved his brother Sean, he was IN love with him. With the realization of his feelings for his brother, and his brother's reaction towards their father, their father stood in shock of this development. "So, you are one of those faggots too? I should have figured the way you protect that little bitch that you two were fucking ar..." Their father's words were cut off with a hard fist to the face from his eldest son. With blood pouring down his face, his father turned beat red and lunged at his son. Sean knocked him down and beat the shit out of him. "If you ever try that again, you won't live to feel the pain of a beating. I WILL kill you at this point you might as well just keep sending the checks and get lost with one of your whores otherwise the police will learn that you abused and raped us (though he knew this wasn't true, he knew both boys could act the part)." "I haven't touched your sissy asses, they wouldn't believe you!" Their father said enraged at Sean's statement. "You think not? Well, do you think they would believe two crying young boys begging for help or do you think they will believe one drunk well known bar hopper? Do you really want to fuck with me? I can play that game and I WILL win!" Sean knew he had his father at this point. "Fine, but you two are on your own. You will get a monthly allowance and can stay here but if you run out of money or need help don't come crying back to me you little shit!" With those final words, their father walked out of the house slamming the door behind him. Present Day: At the end of the school day Aaron had gym class, the worst time of his unbearably long day. Aaron was the last person in the locker room, as usual, and was changing into his normal school clothes when a sharp pain went through his head and the lights went black... Aaron was surrounded in darkness. All Aaron could do was hear the voices around him laughing. He was being kicked and beaten. As Aaron lay in tears, thinking only of his impending death, he heard an angel scream a profanity. A white hot searing light flashed through the room. There was a wall surrounding Aaron so it didn't hurt him so much as it caressed him. Screams filled the locker room as Aarons pain faded away. Strong arms surrounded Aaron and gently carried him from the locker room. Aaron still couldn't see but he felt warm drops falling on his skin...tears. By the time Aaron awoke he was surrounded by warm arms around him. He was in bed with Sean holding him. Sean was kissing him deeply with so much love. The light had returned. Strong opaque red light surrounds him and there was no pain...only love. Sean was crying and he was so happy that he got to his brother in time, but they were also tears of fear. "Aaron? What is going on? You know something about what happened. I need you to tell me. I am so scared." Sean said with fear in his eyes. "Sean...We are witches." **The next installment will be a back story from Aaron's perspective that explains how and why he found out they were witches and why he couldn't tell Sean until now. It will be a convergence chapter** Comments or Suggestions: candlerc@gmail.com Join my Google!
