Ethan (mentions of Aiden, Derek & Chris); Losing a part of himself.
Sunday evening, April13, 2014; Ouside the school near the athletic field, then in the woods/at the Nemeton
PG13 (angst, mentions of character death); Complete
"Does it hurt you as much as it hurts me?"
Once the fight had stopped, Ethan had time to process, to realize how badly Aiden had been hurt and he was at his brother's side in an instant. But he knew it didn't matter. It was too late. There was nothing anyone could do now.
"Does it hurt you as much as it hurts me?" Aiden's voice was already strained, and it was probably too painful to talk, but he was going to do it anyway. Stubborn idiot.
Ethan nodded, holding him as he managed to choke out, "Yeah." the fact that Chris and Derek were there didn't stop him from letting the tears flow freely. His brother was dying, nothing else mattered.
"It's okay," and in true Aiden fashion, he had to make a joke with a half-truth buried in it somewhere. "Lydia never believed me when I told her I was one of the good guys anyway."
Ethan only barely noticed Derek kneeling next to them now, just before he assured the dying twin, "She'll believe me." But then Aiden was struggling, harder than before, "Shh... shh..." Ethan tried to soothe his brother in his last moments, but then it was too much and it was over. Just like that. Holding his brother close, Ethan squeezed his eyes shut, but when he opened them again, he was in the woods and Aiden was gone.
