WHO: Bro Kirkland and Arthur Strider
TONE: LIGHTISH???
RATING: PG13 for Language probably
WHEN: One of these recent days
WHERE: Bro's office
WHAT: Arthur has been distant for a while and Bro wants to know whyyy.
STATUS: Orngoring

Bro actually doesn't know what the deal is. For the longest time, Arthur has been avoiding him and he doesn't get it. The problem is, he's been so busy dealing with other shit that he hasn't had the chance to get the guy alone in order to figure it out. At least until now, that is. He's sent him a note to meet him in his office, and he's just waiting on him to actually make it there.

He misses Arthur, though. For a while there, Arthur was an irreplaceable part in his life, and he regrets the fact that somehow they've drifted apart. Arthur may just be a student, but he's more than that to Bro. Arthur may not feel as strongly, but Bro considers him as a part of the family. Why else would he have bought him a broom? And a pair of shades. The shades were the real symbol of family-hood though. He doesn't just do that for anyone, and Arthur earned them. So the fact they've grown apart just sucks ass.

But he's gonna fix it. He doesn't quite know just what it is that caused it, but he's gonna fix it as best he can so that they can go back to being friends. Bro honestly hopes that it actually is reparable though. There's only one way to find out though, and Arthur should be there pretty soon. Time to get this show on the road.

In all honesty, Arthur had felt that way. He'd been more than happy to have been accepted into Bro's family when his own, save for his mother and a cousin or two, largely ignored him or wrote him off simply because he was the youngest of four, not yet old enough to have any notable career prospects and no longer vocal enough about his opinions (over the increasingly raucous voices of two of his three older brothers) to really draw any interest.

Maybe he'd taken being snapped at too much to heart. He probably had, but his teenage years had already been a long line of being told to sit in the back and be quiet every time he tried to speak up. Bro probably hadn't meant it to come across as it did, but that hadn't kept him from withdrawing slightly, unsure as to whether or not his presence was wanted or if it was simply another interference in something that he didn't understand. The professor was an adult, and Arthur was just a teenager, it wasn't difficult to see where the lines could be drawn.

When he got the note to see him in his office he was half sure that he was in some kind of trouble, though as he wracked his brains on the way he couldn't think of anything that he might have done. He paused at the door, then knocked once before opening the door and poking his head inside.

"... Sir?"
