When Jesse answered the door, Brandon reflexively took a step backwards and nearly bumped into Montana standing behind him. He assumed Jesse was going to be pissed at him for hurting Merlin and want to kick his ass. That’s what big brothers wanted to do, wasn’t it? “I’m… I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, I never meant to be a cunt like that. I just really need to see Merlin. Is he here? Is he awake? I want to explain. He deserves that. I was an asshole, it wasn’t anything to do with what he did or said, I just…”

Jesse was shocked to see Brandon on the doorstep and he heaved a deep sigh of relief to see he was alive and upright, even if he looked like utter hell. He gave him a careful hug, patting his back. “It’s okay, you don’t have to apologise to me. I’m just glad to see you’re okay, we were worried. I can see you’re not well. Come in. I’m sure he’ll want to see you.”

“I’m hungover, I’ve been a dumbfuck. Pretty sure I still reek of booze,” Brandon admitted with shame. “This is my PA, Montana. Monty, this is Merlin’s brother, Jesse. Monty’s just making sure I made it here safely without faceplanting any flat surfaces.”

( Jesse welcomed them in, giving Montana a smile... )
