There's an Empty Road to Rediscover

The rage would continue to bubble in his chest and he refused to back down even as Bacchus's gaze grew more and more intense and his hackles rose. He dared Bacchus to fight him at this point. But no, that's not what his furious words would get him. Instead, Bacchus shot back his own hurtful words. Much fewer in number, but just as cold and harsh. They did nothing to shake Tib's anger, but it did manage to bring furious, frustrated tears to his eyes. He tried to quickly blink them away, looking away from his brother so hopefully Bacchus wouldn't see. "How dare you think that we'd see you any differently? he'd ask, his voice quiet and seething with all of the emotions that he was struggling to control. "We're family, Bacchus! We're here to support and care for you, not judge or ridicule." He finally pulled his glare back up to his brother's face despite the fact that his mismatched gaze was still shining with tears. His anger would slowly drain away, leaving nothing but tired sadness and disappointment. A heavy sigh would pass his lips and his shoulders would sag with the weight of everything that had just transpired between him in Bacchus. This was not the reunion he had been hoping for all this time. "Our mothers would rather come to terms with how the world has changed you than have to continue to wonder every night whether their sons are okay or if they'll ever come home. They shouldn't have to grieve for a son that is still alive." He'd sigh again, his gaze drifting away from Bacchus. "I can't force you to do anything. It's up to you. I won't even tell them that I saw you here if you don't want me to. I just hope you really think about what you're doing before you disappear again." |
