Work Text:
It’s been quite awhile since his brother Wemmbu visits him in his dorms ,its great and all that he visited but this time something is wrong. “Wemmbu? you okay bro?” Egg reached out for his shoulders checking up on wemmbu if he’s okay or not, not like he didn’t care of course “seriously are you okay bro??” he wasn’t mad, he was worried — since wemmbu usually gets hurt while playing volleyball almost every single time leaving bruises around hand (which egg had to scold him every time)
“Yo, im fine egg don't worry” wemmbu whispered breaking the silence between the two tilt his head and smiled to Eggchan who was looking at him, confused "you looked.. tired bro, are you sure you're alright?"
"yeah, i'm doing fine just met someone and fell off the stairs" that last sentence made egg jumped, turning to Wemmbu like there's no tomorrow "you fell off A WHAT BRO???" Eggchan said in shocked, Wemmbu laughed at the reaction "don't worry, if I can still walk then I'm alright." Eggchan relaxed a bit but still worried "At least let me treat the bruises bro." "D'alright bro" Wemmbu tucked his pants up revealing a few small bruises "Yeah, I need you to stay at your dorms for a few days."
Eggchan said walking to grab his first aid kit "Fine." Wemmbu said annoyingly "but if i lost the match this week, you owe me ice cream" "sure bro cause you won't lose anyways, your the best player in our collage bro!" Eggchan said while grabbing a few things before coming back where Wemmbu is sitting "says you, you're the third smartest student here in our college dude." Wemmbu said with a smirk on his face. "those two are literally the scariest person in our collage, don't compare me to them, imagine if you get in trouble with one of them you're cooked." Eggchan said jokingly while treating Wemmbu's injuries
"Anyways, Who in the world made you fell of the stairs like this" Eggchan question "oh I ran down and fell the stairs haha.." he's avoiding the topic is he? "Wemmbu, you're avoiding the question.." "No i'm not— oh, the bandage ran out." Eggchan got cut off by by his brother with his last bandage ran out, Damn it! This is like, the second time this week, he thought "I'll be right back then stay here and there's vanilla in the fridge, grab some if you want" Eggchan sigh walking to pick up his bags and walking out before going out Wemmbu said "Becareful out there." Eggchan frozed usually he never said things like this, he accepted it and left leaving wemmbu alone.
It's pretty much evening already so a few shops already closed even the ones he always goes! It's been an hour since he been serching for another the stone taht opens, Eggchan thought, when he's about to going home he stumbled upon a group of two people who was looking for someone, He was about to ignore them but they walked up on him and stopped infront of him "Uh, Can I help you?" Eggchan Says keeping his guard up since these guys doesn't look very friendly but they looked familiar in a way egg couldn't tell
..
oh! I think I know who they were, parrot (or the second smartest in his college.) told him about both of them, they are Manepear And FlameFrags, who he's not even supposed to interact in the first place, Wemmbu rants a lot about Flamefrags, he doesn't even know who they were, but here we go.
"Sorry for bothering but do you happen to know some one named Eggchan Angelis?"
..huh?
they're looking for me?
"i-i uh.. that's me.. is there anything i could help you?" Egg spoke breaking the silence, oh god they looks very scary up close
"oh, well that's easy then, so one of your roomsmates i think they're called uh, Spoke?" "Sorry he's kinda bad at remembering things bro, don't mind him too much bro" The black haired with red gradient with black horns that twist to the back, locked up his eyes and looked at Egg in the eyes "So someone called spoke, told us you happen to be close to someone called Wemmbu Gambit right?" Curse spoke, Curse Everyone.
oh my god spoke for the tenth time this month he gives out his name to strangers at this point! And this time they are both one of the most feared person in our collage!
Before Eggchan was drowned into his thoughts, one of them snaped his fingers in front of his face and oh deities above, he wish he could unhear all that.
"Don't worry bro we're one of wemmbu's biological siblings, we just wanted to meet him that's all bro, i saw him fell of the stairs today while we were.. talking about something"
...
siblings?
I thought I was the only one?
"Egg?"
his thoughts snaped back to reality when he heard a voice, a voice he really needed right now, his head snapped to the back, and found Wemmbu standing beside the Main Street walking up to Egg, Oh God.
Wemmbu, could read my expression like a book, He walked up to me grabbed my hands about to leave this place but for a moment one of them walked up and block the way.
"Wemmbu."
"Mane, Flame." "We don't have time for this." Wemmbu says finishing the sentence walking past mane but he managed to grab Egg's hand, Wemmbu snapped his hands on mane reacted too fast on that, too fast. "Protecive are we, bro?" FlameFrags says "Why? Scrared that your little friend will find out about us being your siblings?" Eggchan stopped and let go of Wemmbu's hand. "Wemmbu, I.." Eggchan called out for his brother "What did they told you." Eggchan jolted in surprise
"I- they told that you're his brothers, that's all." Eggchan shuttered. "W- Wemmbu I-" "Egg, i'm sorry."
"For not telling the truth I- I don't know if you're gonna see me the same way I Just, Please follow me home." "I- I won't until you tell me the truth." "Hey, your friend wanted to know bro." "This isn't about you flame." Wemmbu hisssed at flame, glaring him with hatred. "It is" Manepear added "our mother said the same to us, not to mention kicked us out like she did to you."
"IT'S NOT THE SAME WAY MANE." Wemmbu shouted making three of them jumped in surprise. "That day you both left didn't even dare to lay eyes oon me, Now what? Ive already had to deal with flame every single day now YOU, dont think i ever forget what you called me the day our mother left me, mane."
Lost cause.
that line hit Egg's face like a truck, so it was him who called Wemmbu like that, how did he deal with this all alone? How does he cope with this, all these years he never knew, all seven years he knew Wemmbu, stays with him in every state possible yet there still lot more he didn't know, he squeezed his hand which, wemmbu, of course noticed.
"hey, we know you had a hard time" —Flamefrags spoke up making both wemmbu and egg turn to "we're here to say sorry for what we did." Wemmbu looked at mane eyes, locked up at the taller figure “we don’t care if you don’t forgive us, we’re just here to say sorry.” Mane stated “don’t worry we won’t bother you two anymore bro, like mane said we’re just here to say that we’re not joking that our mother kicked us both out to” “after they knew flame and you, wemmbu we’re still interacting.”
A pause.
—Wemmbu stood still but continue anyways “sure.. just do whatever you’re doing i guess?” Wemmbu shuttered “Egg and I don’t really care anymore, we just wanted to go home.” “Sure bro, take care wem” “yeah ‘take care too mister immortal volley player’” egg chuckled a bit which made wemmbu smiled a bit “so, are we like in good terms now?” “Duh? What else?” Wemmbu turned completely confused “No No nothing bro” Mane stated “let’s go flame” “yo flame” wemmbu called flame out making him jumped a but while turn back to wemmbu “See ya next match, im gotta beat you out!” “You wish bro!” As they walked out from the path they were on, figures became smaller and smaller as they walked out.
They both also walked out of the road they were on and walked back to wemmbu’s dorm, wemmbu still didn’t let go of wemmbu’s hand scred he’ll lose his brother again, not this time.
as both of them walked home with silence, egg was a bit worried about how the conversation went, will they get into a fight again? Eggchan couldn’t stop thinking about the consequences, wemmbu seemed to notice “yo egg, you good?” Wemmbu questioned which made egg a bit suprised “oh uhm just thinking of things that’s all.” Wemmbu seemed to notice the shutters on egg’s words “d’alright, should we get the ice cream then lil’bro?” “Hey! I’ve already told you! Im two months older!” “Whatever bro” wemmbu rolled his eyes “yo wemmbu.” “Yeah?” Eggchan hesitated before he said “thank you always being here for me, I really mean it.” “Pfft—“ “Hey! Im being serious!” “Hahah!— sorry it just..” “thank you for always here in my every state possible too egg, you’re the best brother i could asked for, besides flame and mane of course” “we’re gonna be bros forever?”
”forever, big bro.” Wemmbu smiled.
