mallowhallow | Joint post | Balfour showing off Amery

_{[It sure didn’t take long after Amery’s first post for the feed to come on again, this time showing a beaming face. Well, actually two faces, but Balfour was beaming, his arms wrapped around Amery’s shoulders from behind as he showed him the broadcasting device. He held it in one hand and grinned out to the public.]}

Hey everyone! I know I’ve mentioned him before, but this is my brother, Amery! Say hi!

_{[He nudges Amery, intent on his brother making a good impression among his new friends.]}

Hello.

[Amery doesn’t look nearly as happy about this as his brother does, but he’s dealing with it. If only because it’s Balfour.]

It seems my brother has been sharing stories about me in my absence.

Of course I have! You’re my brother!

_{[So obviously, Balfour would be telling tales. He adored and looked up to Amery, after all.]}

Anyway, I just wanted everyone to know who he was. Please treat him kindly!

_{[And that goes for you too, Amery.]}

Balfour, though I appreciate the gesture, I do believe I’ll be capable of dealing with people whether or not they decide to treat me kindly.

_{[Balfour sighs, looking at the man he’s draped over for a moment.]}

Amery--

_{[But whatever else he was going to say is lost. He kills the feed just as he begins that sentence. Privacy was a valued thing for Amery, after all. Balfour knew this.]}

[Well. He had to sit and stare for a while. ~~And no, it wasn't because Balfour's brother was hot.~~ And it wasn't because he was a bit upset that Balfour had just up and left earlier and Reid had had no idea where he'd went.

No, it was because if his first look of Amery hadn't been of the guy with Balfour, he probably wouldn't have attacked him on sight. He just so happened to look just like Chase.

So, when he finally turns on the video feed, he makes it private. He knows he can't keep it from Balfour's brother if the guy's happening to watch or listen in, but he can keep it from everyone else in Mallowhallow.]

So that's your brother? The one that...you know? [Is supposed to be dead :|]

You know, you failed to mention that your brother's really hot.

[Blunt is the only way he knows how to be. What is tact.]

I thought he was... [Should he say this where Amery could hear?] Uh, yeah.

_{[After talking to Reid, it didn't take long for a slightly frightened Balfour to find Amery and wrap his arms around him, burying his face in his back as he clung tightly enough to cause breathing issues. His whole body was shaking as he tried not to flat-out sob on his brother. His scent and warmth were comforting enough. He was content to be ignored should Amery choose that. Just as long as he could hold on.]}

My older brother says that brothers are supposed to annoy each other.

[He saw the post and frowned and was so freakin' hesitant about answering it But alas. He did at last.]

Balfour, I'm sure Reid already told you.

[He's not going into more detail because he's not stupid. Reid would have seen this and jumped on it and been like 'Nope I don't like him' despite how it was pretty clear it was not Chase. It just seemed so strange.]
