“You wouldn’t burden me, you could never burden me, silly” Oliver chuckled. Sometimes he wondered about his older brother. He always seemed so…self-defeating, and it made Oliver sad. “Alright, but I’ll have to go and buy some shoes for us,” Coming from a wealthy Dutch family, Oliver didn’t understand the value of a dollar “I’ll buy your ticket for you, no problem! My family wants to meet you!” He insisted “And I’d love to see Minnesota, the way you talk about it makes it sound like heaven or something like this” He chuckled again and nodded “I want to meet everyone that is your friend and family!” His phrasing of english was still a bit off.

“Yes! I bet that we will wake up the whole neighborhood, yes?” Oliver laughed and laid his head on his brother’s shoulder. The commercials before the movie were airing, so they had time to get comfortable.

“… and that’s why I don’t wanna risk it,” said the boy turning to look at the TV as he burrowed his back further into the couch, but didn’t move away from his brother’s side.  ”Don’t wanna lose you too,” more like be left behind by him.  But he said what he had in more of a whisper, not sure if the other boy heard him or not.  Looking back to his younger brother the boy shook his head, “no way am I letting you pay for all of that! I can’t let you do that.” And yet he couldn’t pay for most of it himself either.  Wyatt didn’t come from wealth, just from a single mother who still somehow managed to give Wyatt an allowance even on her pay.  ”It is heaven,” said the teen.  ”It’s where the people I love are- most of them anyways.” Oliver and his mom were here with him though.  ”It was better back there too,” he wasn’t bullied near as much. 

“Wake ‘em up and hope they don’t call the cops think we’re being murdered.” Wyatt laughed again, shifting the way his knee’s laid.

Oliver looked worried. “I would come and watch you. You know I would,” He said softly. No one, besides Wyatt came to see him—but that has how it always was. He never had a father and his mother never cared. He had only ever heard about Isaac once or twice, and Ollie knew never to bring it up. “You could teach me how to play, then we could play together,” He suggested, giving his older brother a reassuring squeeze of the hand. “And you’ll have to come to Holland and play with my cousins, because they are so good!” He chuckled.

“Jurassic (he said it like ‘yur-assic) Park, that’s the one with the dinosaurs, right? If I get scared, don’t make fun of me!” He chuckled and flipped to AMC.

“Dude, I don’t wanna be a burden to you it’s okay.” And that’s what he felt like half the time, even if his mom told him he wasn’t.  ”Besides, do I look even mildly in shape.” Laughed the teenager, holding up his free arm which lacked muscle, same with most of his body, except his legs- but that was from running away from Henry.  At the squeeze to his hand Wyatt smiled, remembering how nice it was to know he had a little brother who was gonna be there for him- well until he left too, but Wyatt tried not to think of the idea of being left behind again.  ”Yeah… I’ll teach you to play.  We can go to the park tomorrow or something- and Holland? I can’t afford that,” he laughed a bit softly, “besides planes.” Oh god Wyatt hated planes, he was like Isaac in that way- though the idea of flying like Peter Pan would’ve been perfectly fine.  Just not in a metal death trap.  ”You could come back to Minnesota with me and my mom sometime though! Like a vacation.  You could meet my friend Joel- you know him I think I talk to him on the phone like every day.  And I could get to see my grandpa- you’d like him he’s awesome.” Said the boy, smiling as he talked about home, which was obviously Minnesota and not Wisconsin.  

“Yeah, I’ve loved it since I was little- and don’t worry I get scared still by it too.” He laughed, “guess we can be goofs and cling to each other and screech until my mom hears it always from the hospital.” Where she worked as a nurse in the ER.

“Of course, you always hate education when you’re young.” 

“Did Jack hate it?”

“I mean he did have school- right?”
