So I watched Warrior again got inspired for the brothers, and just had to write something.

Describe a time you and your sibling(s) did something and had to agree to “not tell mom and dad”
Describe the destruction of a family heirloom

“You are so, so dumb.” Jesse drawled in disbelief, even as the buzz of alcohol in his veins had an amused grin creeping over his lips, coloring his words with the sound of a smile. Beau’s drunken laughter rang out promptly, gleeful and loud, before Jesse shushed him quickly. “Hurry up and fix it, you idiot,” he stage whispered to his younger brother, but again a giddy snicker interrupted his attempt at seriousness and Beau’s cackling lowered only slightly in volume as he tried to position a piece of ceramic back to it’s rightful place.

The shattered vase sat between the brothers on the floor, having been tipped by Beau’s sloshy misstep into the cabinet and sent to the hard floor, scattering remnants all around. Jesse was at least sort-of-sober enough to realize that they needed to try to piece it back together before their parents returned later in the night, but Beau was downright drunk and his paws were unsteady as they did their best to glue pieces back together. It wasn’t looking good.

Outside, the night had gone from milky blue to a deep navy, stars winking down as if in amusement as the brothers growled and laughed their way through the process of gluing things back together, which would have been difficult enough sober, and was nearly impossible with Jesse’s huge paws and Beau’s drunken weaving. It took the pair of them nearly two hours before the vase was identifiable as a vase again, and at last Jesse put both paws on Beau’s shoulders, shaking with silent laughter, and said, “Alright, alright, that’s enough. Just leave it, we’re good.”

Beau only shook his head as another chortle squeaked out of him – even drunk, he could tell there was no convincing anybody that nothing had happened. Seeing as he was too far gone with the calming slosh of alcohol in his veins, though, he merely laughed about it. “We are so not, Jess, Ma’s gonna kill us.” At this, the older brother couldn’t help a laugh of his own, casting the grey of his gaze down to the sadly lopsided vase at their feet. “Nah, we’re definitely good.”

The raucous cacophony of Beau’s laugh filled the whole house, probably filtered out the windows. Jesse clamped a paw over his mouth even as tears of giddiness streamed down his cheeks, “C’mon, let’s get you to bed.” The older brother opened up the cabinet and picked up the vase as delicately as he could, pushing it to the very back of the cabinet where it would hopefully remain hidden for as long as possible. He lowered his head then to nose underneath Beau’s arm, allowing the unsteady weight of his brother to lean against him as the pair walked further back into the house. Beau’s bedroom was way in the back, so instead Jesse took him to the old bedroom they had shared as children. Unceremoniously, the white furred baron tossed his brother onto the mat and pile of hides, ignoring the more slender male’s curse. Beau sprawled onto the old familiar bed and grumbled, blinking his glassy eyes before scooting to one side of the mat and grinning lopsidedly in invitation, “There’s room.”

Jesse automatically arched a brow, the grey of his eyes had taken on a faintly bluish hue in contrast to the reddened rims of his eyes. His first instinct was to say no and head back to his own room, but with the thought-slurring buzz in his head and the sudden stab of nostalgia that came from stepping into this room, he found himself crawling onto the mat and laying down with a roll of his eyes. Beau only giggled quietly, and a few seconds passed before the ginger baron slurred, “We can’t tell ma and pa, right?”

A quick snort rose from Jesse’s nose, ears flicking back to catch his brother’s voice over his shoulder. “I think they’re gonna know,” he couldn’t help a chuckle, one that Beau could feel through the mat. His own snicker slipped from his teeth in response, and that shook the old mattress, too, until the pair of them were snickering and giggling drunkenly at nothing in particular, though maybe to ignore the certain chewing-out they were sure to receive once their mother looked in the living room cabinet.

Their giggling died down eventually, and Beau shifted to move closer to his hulk of a brother, resting his chin on his curled up side. Jesse raised a brow even though Beau likely couldn’t see his face. “If you drool on me, I swear-"

Another squeaky cackle, this one shorter as sleep began to creep into Beau’s bones. “I won’t.” Both brothers shut their eyes and let quiet elapse between them. It wasn’t long before Beau’s breathing had deepened and slowed, signaling his descent to unconsciousness. Jesse lasted a few minutes longer, one side of his mouth quirking nostalgically upward before he too fell to sleep.

Aw Wolf, I love this so much < 3 The ending is really sweet and made me smile, and I loved the way you described them laughing while trying to piece the vase back together. And of course, it's always a treat to read something of the brothers'.

[The Royal Mirage]

This just had me grinning the whole time, those two are the cutest thing <3 Also, working on my Phaed response now, so we can see more of Beau soon ^^

Thanks guys! It was. SO much fun to write xp I'm glad you enjoyed it. And especially glad you like their laughter, Nellas, that was my favorite part to describe c:

EDIT: This just occurred to me to ask, but I want to make sure that I'm mentally pronouncing the names of all the characters correctly? Usually it's just a matter of long or short vowel sounds, for example, Anna? Is it with a long or short 'a'? And N'Obi? Kirsten? Also Tanga and Maia. I'm hoping everyone else's are as simple as they seem, Roan is just "rohn" right? Is Amos "Ay-muhs" or "Ay-mose"?
It was just a thought that rose suddenly and I might as well ask
If anyone was wondering Amara is "uh-MARR-uh" and Abaddon is technically "Uh-BAD-uhn" ("a bad one" tee hee) but I frequently think "Abbah-dawn" so, it's whatever
And then just Saber as in lightsaber, Beau as in the french word for beautiful (bow tie), and Jesse is, well, Jesse.
