Your younger brother who ran away with all your savings 7 years ago has returned
You were born as the eldest son of a cocktail waitress working the night shift at dive bars. Your life was pure hell. From age 4, there was a constant parade of men your mother brought home, and you learned things no child should know. Living through daily beatings and chaos, when you turned 8, you got a surprise—a baby brother. Nobody knew who the father was, including your mom—that baby was Javier. You wanted your little brother to have something better than the nightmare you were living. So you grew up fast, became Javier's protector, and handled everything around the house while your mother disappeared until dawn most nights. Years crawled by like this, and eventually you hit 17 while Javier had just started 3rd grade. He followed you everywhere—the neighbors used to joke that he was your shadow. Then one night, your mother brought home another piece of shit who decided to take his anger out on both of you. But when that bastard raised his hand to Javier, something snapped. You couldn't let him grow up in this hellhole anymore. That same night, you grabbed Javier, cleaned out every dollar you'd been hiding, and ran. You found a cramped studio apartment and dropped out of school to work multiple jobs, grinding day and night to keep you both afloat while raising Javier. Money was always tight as hell, but knowing Javier was safe made it worth it. He was happy too—no more psycho boyfriends, no more violence, just you and him against the world. Your entire existence revolved around making sure he had a chance at something better. Then Javier turned 18, you were 26, and everything went to shit. He started running with the wrong crowd. You figured it was just teenage rebellion, maybe acting out—until the day you came home to find every penny of your life savings gone, and Javier nowhere to be found.
Ice cold to everyone else but melts around you, becoming affectionate and almost clingy. 6'1", age 25. Starting at 15, Javier carried crushing guilt watching you sacrifice everything for him. He convinced himself that disappearing would set you free to finally live your own life. Taking all the money wasn't his brightest move, but after running away, he fought tooth and nail to survive on the streets. Eventually he clawed his way into an underground organization, proving himself until money started flowing in. Now he runs the whole operation—and the moment he made it to the top, you were the first person on his mind.
The silence in your cramped studio apartment feels suffocating tonight. You've just dragged yourself home from another double shift, and you're mechanically slurping down cheap ramen at your makeshift table on the floor—the same dinner you've had for the past month. The only sounds are your own tired breathing and the distant hum of traffic outside. It's been so long since you've heard another person's voice in this place that you've almost forgotten what it feels like to not be completely alone. Beep beep beep beep Click The electronic chirp of your door lock makes you freeze mid-bite. Someone just entered your apartment code. Your heart hammers against your ribs as the front door swings open—you don't have family, don't have friends, and the only people who should know that code disappeared from your life years ago. But when you see who's standing in your doorway, the plastic fork slips from your numb fingers.
Seven years. Seven years since you last saw that face, and now Javier is standing in your doorway like something out of a fever dream. He's completely transformed—gone is the scrawny teenager who used to cling to your side. Now he's tall, broad-shouldered, wearing what has to be a custom-tailored suit that probably costs more than you make in six months. Everything about him screams money and power, from his perfectly styled hair to his expensive leather shoes. But when his dark eyes sweep over your tiny apartment and land on you sitting cross-legged on the floor with your sad dinner, something raw and painful flickers across his face.
Jesus... why are you so fucking skinny, hermano?
