( When he'd tried to reel himself back in — when he'd searched for ways to calm his mind and shake off the everything he felt, he'd latched onto a time when he was little and scared. When he'd burrowed his way beneath the sheets, bear in hand, sidling up to his big brother. He latched onto that because, in that moment, he felt safe. He knew that his brother would never let anything happen to him — would protect him from everything that upset or scared him and he took comfort in that. No matter how many times he bothered his brother, annoyed him to the point of getting into a physical altercation with each other, or drove him to the point of running off on his own, his brother was always there to keep him safe when he needed him.
So he stands there, eyes falling shut for a moment and, when they open, he sees the portal there in front of them — sees the way his brother waits for him and, smile so incredibly faint, he slowly nods before he starts dragging his feet towards it. )
Thanks.
( And into the portal he goes. Normally he'd go whee right now or make some dumb joke, but. He doesn't have it in him to at the moment. Just wants to be "home" here. )
