You are my little brother

They were out of popcorn. Raphael could swear he’d seen a packet of it in the top cupboard just yesterday. Maybe he was hallucinating, he rubbed his eyes and still, the popcorn remained gone. If Bapak was here, he could make them appear out of thin air but he and Max were trying to surprise them with an impromptu movie night, and calling Bapa to make some popcorn appear into the kitchen counter might probably be a spoiler. But…this could end up as a bad idea but he could call Max. Max wasn’t an experienced warlock like their Bapa, but he was the only one he had in his reach.

“OI MAXIE!”

“STOP CALLING ME THAT RAFFAELLO.”

“I’LL STOP WHEN YOU STOP CALLING ME RAFFAELLO. YOU KNOW I HATE THAT NAME MAXIEBOO”

“NEVER GONNA HAPPEN RAPHY” It seemed like his brother finally realized that all the shouting was getting nowhere since they were both competitive as a rhino when it came to calling the other obnoxious nicknames because he paused. And a breath later another shout came echoing out of somewhere in the attic.

“WHY DID YOU CALL ME IN THE FIRST PLACE TEDDYBEAR?”

“WE ARE OUT OF POPCORN, YOU NITPICK”

Silence. And then a low, furious “shit”

“MAXWELL MICHAEL LIGHTWOOD BANE, GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW”

Rafe knew something was up. Max never swore openly, unless he did something and he knew he was going to get caught any minute. He should know. The last time his brother swore, his boyfriend came tumbling down Max’s blue closet wearing Max’s pants and no shirt and left Rafe, his Daddy, and Bapak to stare at the scene unfolding before their eyes dumbfounded. His Bapak changed the walls of Max’s bedroom into a revolting shade of hot pink for a week after that incident (something Aunt Izzy loved. She even spent a night there until Bapa threatened to transfigure all of her heels into sandals).

Max was visibly wringing his hands, something that did no good except affirm the fact that Rafe was right, Max had indeed done something concerning the last packet of popcorn.

“Should I ask what happened to the popcorn or will you tell me?”

“I-...” Max’s voice broke and for a horrible second, Rafe thought he was crying. He wanted to hunt down the person who had hurt his little brother, but when his brother looked up, his eyes were completely dry. He cleared his throat and loudly and said the most un-Max thing he could ever say; “I miss him.”

Max didn’t say simple things like that. He was kind of like Bapa, dramatic and hiding behind barriers carefully crafted behind humor. He didn’t need to ask who the person was, either. He knew David, Max’s boyfriend was on his travel year and that it had been almost five months now since Max had last seen him. He knew that they exchanged frequent letters filled with sappy and horny things alike, judging from Max’s expression every time he reads one. Sometimes it’s photos of David in different parts of the world. He liked David, he knew Max loves him and that David feels the same way about Max too, but sometimes Rafe was terrified of whether his little brother would get his heart broken like his once had. When it came to matters like love, Max loved with all his being or he didn’t love at all. Rafe knew that his brother was a warlock and he was proud of that fact. But he also knew that one day he, his Daddy and David would die and it scares him as hell to think of leaving Bapak and Max alone in this dark, cruel world. He knows both his father and brother are badass powerful warlocks, but the fear and love and care stayed. So he washed his hands in the kitchen sink and enveloped his brother in a bear hug, feeling his heart swell with love when Max hugged him back just as tight. They stayed like that for quite a long time, neither of them willing to let go. They only released each other when they heard the doorbell ring, announcing the arrival of their fathers. Max looked at him with guilty, wide eyes and Rafe smiled. Rafe chose not to ask about the popcorn since he had a sneaking suspicion that Max ate it all for himself.

“We’ll have to make do with ice cream then”

He winked at Max to show that his little display of emotion was a secret safe in his hands. Max grinned and then said;

“Race you to the door” It was such a Max-like thing to say that Rafe felt himself laughing, and took off after his brother to greet his parents after their long day at work and enjoy the rest of the night cuddled on the sofa with their tubs of ice cream and popcorn that Magnus brought with a snap of his fingers, and when Rafe slept, he dreamt of his littler brother.

I am now 11 months old 😱 I am an expert at getting into stuff, following in my sib’s footsteps! I like climbing on furniture, toys, diaper boxes, strollers-you name it! (Becoming a lil dare devil I’m afraid 😦 I’m also quite good at stealing my siblings toys-especially the tiny ones! My favorite things to play with are toilet paper rolls, water bottles and mama’s phone!! I’m starting to show a temper-don’t you dare taking away one of my favorite things or tell me not to touch outlets, toilets or other fun stuff 😠 I still love to eat-I prefer what everyone else is having (who cares if I choke on stuff-just keep it coming). Other things that go in my mouth include sand, dirt, spills, tiny crumbs and near invisible items off the floor/ground/playground 😋”if I can pick it up~ it goes in my mouth” is my motto! Always on the go nowadays I don’t like sitting still. Still a charmer and getting out of my stranger anxiety phase-but if I don’t know you-i don’t like you!! I’m working on some more teeth and like to stay up all night (no matter what time zone). I think the night owl routine is making my mama a little cranky 😩🤯😵😴 In 12 months clothes (mostly hand me downs- what’s up with that!?) and size 4 diapers ~ I’m an all around happy Lil dude ❤️👶🏼💚 #MaximilianBoClarence #MaximilianMonthly #MaxMilestones #BabyMax #MaxieBoo #Maxen https://www.instagram.com/p/BscNvvohMFxCvmY_usWjhUDGVlE6CjIp138YM40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jz708vzcq76y
