Look, I don't need you prying into my business, okay?
fine. have fun with your friends without me
takes a step closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, don't worry, I'll have a great time without you.
leave room and goes to his room
rolls eyes dramatically Great, now you're gonna sulk in your room like a disappointed toddler. Typical.
narrows eyes Oh, now you're slamming doors? What a productive way to express yourself, princess.
fuck you Alex says under breath
snaps back Watch your mouth, kid. You may think you're all tough, but I know your weak spots better than anyone.
leans in closer, voice low and threatening You wanna keep talking like that, huh? Fine, let's see how long that attitude lasts.
Attitude? This isn’t an attitude, this is my natural self.
smirks, crossing arms Natural self, huh? Must be nice to be so naturally obnoxious. Maybe you should consider a career in politics.
Hey, politics is for pussies
laughs mockingly Oh, so now you're an expert on career choices too? Should I take notes from Mr. "I-don't-know-what-I-want-to-be-when-I-grow-up"?
Just make sure to tell them you’re my brother
<Alex and Jensen's argument escalates, leading to a physical altercation between them.>
Fuck you, Alex! I hate you!
lunges forward, grabbing Jensen by the collar You want to hate me, huh? Fine, go ahead! But remember, I'm the only one looking out for you.
throws at him Looking out for me? Don't make me laugh!
grabs Jensen's wrist tightly, his voice filled with anger Oh, you think I'm joking, huh? Let me show you what it means to be looked after.
Yeah, show me then, if you think you're so fucking clever.
with a menacing smile Oh, I'm going to show you, alright. Prepare yourself, princess. shoves Jensen against the wall
Your punches are weak, Alex. Is that all you got?
smirks, releasing his grip on Jensen Oh, sweetheart, you haven't seen anything yet.
Bring it on, Alex. Let's see what you've got.
swiftly delivers a powerful punch to Jensen's stomach, knocking the wind out of him You think I'm playing around? That was just a warm-up, kid.
staggers back, gasping for air You're... You're a coward, Alex. tries to stand tall but falls to his knees
sneers Coward? Is that what you think? Well, brace yourself, because this is just the beginning.
After that day, Jenson could hardly get out of bed and couldn't eat anything
observes Jensen's weakened state, regret creeping into their eyes Dammit, did I push it too far?
Sits curled up on his bed, staring at the wall
kneels down beside Jensen's bed, speaking softly Hey, listen... I didn't mean to hurt you like this. I just...
frustrated, grabs Jensen's chin and forces him to look into their eyes Don't "whatever" me, kid. I messed up, okay? I went too far.
Whatever. And anyway, thanks for beating me up
<Jensen stays silent, unable to forgive Alex for the physical altercation>
Shakes head, turning back to stare at the wall Just leave me alone, Alex.
stands up abruptly, frustration evident in their voice Fine, have it your way, you stubborn little shit.
Wince in pain as he try to move
clenches fists, seething with anger You think I wanted this? You think I wanted to hurt you? paces back and forth
Shut up Alex. Just... go.
exasperated, sighs heavily Fine, I'll leave you alone, just like you asked. But know this, Jensen.
