Cheered Up

Dave cursed as he looked at his phone before looking at John.

"John…" Guilt was carefully masked but John had known Dave for years and knew exactly how to pinpoint it. Forcing himself to smile, he waved the other off.

"It's alright Dave. Go do what you have to."

The shaded boy frowned and stared at John for a bit, before sighing and giving John a quick hug.

"I'll be back as soon as possible. My bro is here if you need anything."

"It's okay! I'll be fine Dave! See you soon!"

As soon as Dave was gone, the smile slipped from his face and John pulled his knees to his chest and hide his face against his knees. He stayed like that for a while, doing his best not to actually cry. Suddenly a hand was on his shoulder and John whipped his head up and saw Bro leaning over the back of the couch John was sitting on and looking at him with a small frown.

"Hey."

"H-hey bro…"

There was a silence between them before Bro gave a small grin.

"I know what will cheer you up kid."

Suddenly Bro flash stepped and was gone before suddenly reappearing and throwing himself over the couch and landing right next to John, making the younger male jump in surprise. John blinked at Bro, who smirked and wave a rather thick book at him.

Bro opened the book, which John noticed had Dave's name on the cover. Opening the book to it's first page, Bro watches as John's face turns from a sad and confused expression to shock and then a huge shit eating grin.

"Holy shit! It's Dave!"

"Yep. Little bro would be shitting himself if he knew I was showing you his baby pictures…Let's take a stroll through memory lane why don't we?"

A while later as Dave made his way back to the apartment where he and his bro lived, he stopped out the door when heard the disctint sound of John laughing. Feeling relief flush through him, Dave sighed and was so thankful that his Bro was helping John out.

That thankfulness lasted until he opened the door and saw exactly how Bro was cheering up his best friend.
