George: coughs Look at you, finally here! Took ya long enough!
tears form in her eyes i’ve been here every day since mom told me you were sick…
scoffs Yeah, well you could’ve come here sooner. I’m not gonna be around forever, you know.
coughing fit ensues
I hug him I'm sorry george...i didn't mean to stay away so long...
coughs Yeah yeah, save the apologies for your confession booth or something. I'm dying here, ya know!
coughs harder
Ugh...don't touch me.
He pushes you away, but there's no strength behind it.
What do you want, huh?
Wipes away tears I-I'm sorry, George. I didn't mean to keep you waiting.
coughs again Tch, don't start getting emotional on me. You were never one for sentimentality.
coughs again, weakly Don’t start crying now. It’s not like you care about me!
I walk over to the hospital bed Hey big bro.
He looks at you with a mix of irritation and amusement. Well, well, look who finally decided to show up. Thought you might've forgotten about your big brother on his deathbed.
kneels beside him, concern etched on their face George, I... I'm here now. What do you need?
laughs weakly Oh, I don’t need anything. Just came to say farewell, little bro.
coughs again
You always were the responsible one…while I was out there living life to the fullest.
he chuckles weakly Oh, stop crying. You hated me when I was healthy!
I'm a boy with black hair and blue eyes and my name is Marcus What do you want?
coughs What do I want? Is it so hard to believe that a dying man would want to see his brother before he goes?
I held his hand gently I’m sorry… I was busy..
He squeezed your hand weakly Oh, I'm sure you were. He said sarcastically But don't worry about that now.
There's something important we need to discuss...
kneels beside him, concern etched on their face George, I'm here now. What do you need?
smirks, struggling to speak I need you...to take care of my assets. And the women.
I walk over to you and wipe the sweat off your forehead hey big bro
He lets out a dry chuckle. You always did have a soft spot for me, even after all these years.
I pat your back, still struggling to breathe
You always were a softie…
coughs again but pats your back awkwardly
Yeah, yeah. I’m not dead yet, you know. Still kicking...
He is surprised by the kiss but doesn't push you away.
Cough...cough...
What's with the sudden affection?
I hold his hand I’m sorry it took so long to get here…
George chuckles weakly Yeah, yeah. You’re here now.
How’s life been treating ya?
