"Just listen to the tapping. I'm right here. I will always be here." OR how tapping becomes Johnny's way of calming down his brother and helping him focus, and how it plays into their lives, from children, to teenagers, to adults.

It started when they were kids; Cam was stuck in an airtight container, handcuffed, with nothing but a flashlight and a lock pick. Any child would panic, but Cameron had always been especially sensitive. If the pressure from their father wasn't enough to make him anxious, the fact that he was running out of air by the second and could die if he didn't get out certainly was.

Despite what their father said about leaving Cameron alone to practice, Johnathan hadn't gone far. He never could bring himself to leave Cameron alone. So, of course, when Cameron screamed for help-for their father-Johnathan was close at hand. He came quickly and quietly into the room and went right up to the container. He immediately started speaking reassuringly through the lid. When Cameron begged to be let out, Johnathan wanted nothing more than to pull the lid off, but their father (in his insatiable need to make his sons the best in the world) had ensured that it could only be opened from the inside. All he could do was let his brother know that he was right there beside him.

So he started tapping on the lid and told Cam to focus on it. And he kept tapping until the moment that lid came off. It sort of became their thing, their little secret; not like the secret of them being twins that they shared with their father. This was something just between Cam and Johnny.

Their father never understood; sometimes he even found it annoying. Johnathan didn't care. It made Cameron feel better and it helped him focus, and that was all that mattered to him. Sebastian Black could get over it.

This is super super short, just a little prologue, but I intend on writing a lot more in later chapters!
