Does he care?

Well, my brother and I kinda had a bad fight some time ago...So bad that we didn't talk to each other for two whole months. Everything was so different... At home it would be so quiet, because we wouldn't talk to each other unless it's really needed. But at least we would never argue anymore... Before we used to fight about the computer, like for example, "hey, isn't it my turn?" and then he'd say "Yeah, so?" and blah blah blah... but now, even if it's supposed to be his turn, he'll just wait, and vice versa. Months passed and things are getting a LITTLE better... We talk to each other from time to time, but not that much. Well, one day, Both my parents had to go to another city and wouldn't be back 'til the 4th day. It was Wednesday, and I was feeling kinda lonely...I missed my parents, also coz we're kinda close. I decided to text my sempai... I still remember what I said: "Sempai, can we talk? I'm feeling kinda lonely..." Then something weird happened. I was supposed to send it to Sempai's number, but I sent it to my brother instead! I saw his name, but I was lost in thought so I didn't notice it. Then when my brother replied, I was like: "Oops!! Wrong send!" I I told him that it was supposed to be for Sempai...Well later that night my brother arrived, and in the end sempai didn't reply... I had some sort of wound somewhere, and I needed alcohol. I looked in my parents' room for some, but I couldn't find any. So I asked my brother if he had some... He told me that he didn't have any, but offered something else--I think it was some sort of...Sanitizer? I dunno. It was like alcohol but it doesn't have that "cold" feeling when you put it on. Anyway, I decided to use it, and he said: "You shouldn't just put anything on...That's not alcohol, you know." but I told him that I'd be fine. That kinda warmed me up. I felt a sense of kindness when he said that... Then I told myself, "maybe he felt sorry for me when he read my message?" well, either way, he said those words. It really gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling (Uhh...Part of me says "ew". But it's a good thing...). I guess he really does care.


notes:

• Well it may not seem like much, but to me, it's surprising because he rarely shows that he cares.
• How were we able to patch things up a bit? Games... Hehe, it's a thing we share in common. He and I sorta bond through games. He was my first partner when we played "Time Crisis 4" in Cebu.
• I sorta owe him a lot--He helped make me who I am today. My attitude, my interests (most of them), all thanks to that brother of mine.
• I wouldn't trade him for another brother. He's good enough for me!
