So Michael is 13 and he hasn't came out yet, Alec is 19, almost 20 actually, and is heading off to college. So here's just their adorable relationship.

And yes, Alec already has the Squip it's just not doing anything.

TW: there's mention of underage drinking, there's a smol sad but proud Michael, some light swearing, save all the children

"Alec no! Don't leave yet!!" Michael had his entire body wrapped around his brother, albeit except for his legs, which he was using to hold himself back so Alec couldn't go.

"Mikey I have to. I'm going to college. Besides, I won't be gone forever." Alec explained softly, ruffling Michael's hair and smiling.

"But I'll miss you!!" Michael whined, still trying to drag Alec into his room.

"I promise I'll call you."

"But I wanna be able to hug you and play games with you."

"Online gaming Mikey. It exists." Alec looked down at his brother and felt a tinge of guilt wash over him. "Look I'm sorry but I need this. I swear I'll come back home and when I do we'll do nothing but play video games and eat junk food all day."

"But you're still gonna be gone for four years..." Michael's cheek was smushed against Alec's lower torso, and the older boy had to readjust his hoodie so Michael wouldn't cry on it. "And I only have one other person to hang out with."

"Yeah but Jeremy is good to you. And remember, you guys are gonna be cool in highschool, if not, then college. Either way, you two are cool and if you ever miss me just shoot me a text."

"B-But...what about our player 1 and 2 brother dynamic thing? Where will that go?" Michael asked through gently sobs and Alec took off his red hoodie and wrapped it around Michael's body.

"I think it's time you levelled up little bro. You're gonna be player 1 now." Michael's eyes widened as he looked at the hoodie in awe. "Oh and you're gonna need this." Alec took a necklace out of his pocket and placed it in Michael's hands gently. "Now you're player 1."

"But who's gonna be player 2?" Michael asked, confused, and Alec wrapped an arm around his brother and put a hand on his heart.

"You already know. He's the one person, other than me, who will always have your back, no matter what." Alec noticed the spark in Michael's eyes and smiled. "You know don't you?"

"It's Jeremy...Jeremy's my player 2." Michael whispered and Alec patted his back before standing back up and off his knees.

"That's right, now...I guess this is when I say goodbye. See you when I get out Mikey..." Michael practically squeezed Alec into a hug, tears falling down his reddening cheeks and hair clinging to his face.

"I-I'm gonna miss you bro...I love you..." Michael whispered, and Alec hugged him close.

"I love you too Mikey..." The two let go and Michael followed Alec out to the car, waving as he left. It was at that moment that Michael decided he wasn't gonna go to college without Jeremy, considering there was almost no age difference.

***

(This is when Michael goes to visit Alec in college, I would say Michael is like...a freshman rn)

Maganda walked her son into the huge building and his eyes were going everywhere. He'd never seen a place this big.

"Excuse me, which dorm belongs to Alec Mell?" Maganda asked the lady at the front desk and she handed her a key.

"He might not be there right now." She mumbled and Maganda nodded, and her and Michael still went to the room so they could surprise him when he got back.

His room was about the same as his room at home had been, but strangely enough, his laptop was left on.

"Michael I'm gonna go to the bathroom, do you think you can handle yourself in here?" Michael nodded and his mom walked out.

He went over to the laptop and pressed the space key, seeing his brother still didn't have a password. That's when he looked at what was still up.

It looked like a drafted email. He began reading it in his head.

"Dear anybody who ever sees this,
         I think I'm losing it. I don't know if I really am but I feel like it. I just...I should explain. I bought this thing called a Squip, or Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor, and I got it to make myself smarter but after a few months it got hostile. I know how to temporarily shut it off, which is why there's beer bottles in my room, but have no clue how to get it out...I'm scared I'm gonna lose my mind and never be able to return to my family sane...and I don't want that...so if the person reading this happens to be my brother, Michael, I'm sorry...I should've told you and maybe you could've talked me out of buying the Squip...but if anybody you knows ever tries to get a Squip, tell them it's a scam PLEASE. Don't let them, they're violent and unstable and painful...and I don't even know if I got an upgraded model...but Michael, if you're really the one reading this...I love you...and mom...and not so much dad, don't tell him that though, so much...and I'm sorry I let my stupidity get in the way of my own health.
                                      From, Alec Mell"

Michael was staring at the words in shock, disbelief, and with eyes full of tears. He pulled out his phone and took a quick video of the entire thing before closing the computer.

That's when he heard footsteps and turned to see a boy around Alec's age walk in. He had freckles on his cheeks and shoulders, and sandy blonde hair that covered his left eye brow.

"Who are you?" He asked and Michael's heart began pounding. He hated meeting people older than him that weren't teachers or family, so he began panicking. "Woah woah calm down, you okay?" The boy's voice was soothing, and Michael felt a little calmer at it. "What's your name? Tell me that much."

"It's M-Michael...Michael M-Mell." He barely managed to speak and the boy's eyes widened.

"You're my roommate's little brother aren't you?" He asked and Michael nodded. "Shit...did you read the message on his laptop?" Michael nodded again, and the boy felt compelled to hug him. "Hey hey it's okay...ya know...I know the shit those things are capable of, not by my experiences personally but recently I visited home...and my younger brother, Richie as I call him, had one. I could tell."

Michael looked up at the male and noticed he'd seen his eyes before.

"Who's...who's your brother?" He asked and the boy smiled at the thought of his kid brother.

"His name is Richard Goranski. Why?"

"Shit he has one of those...things?" Michael asked and the boy cocked his head. "No wonder he's such a dick to my friend." Michael mumbled and the boy was looking at him in confusion. "Oh by the way, what's your name?"

"Oh it's Randall, but I go by Randy...and don't tell anybody but..." He leaned into Michael's ear and whispered something that shook the boy. "I was Alec's boyfriend."

"Woah my brother was gay?"

"Pan, I'm the gay one, but still."

"Glad to meet a fellow member of pride." Michael smiled, and Randy punched his shoulder playfully.

"How's about I give you my number, in case my bro gives you trouble." Randy suggested and Michael nodded. He gave Randy his phone and within seconds had a new contact.

"Thanks. I gotta go now, my mom will be worried if she comes in here and finds me with a complete stranger." Michael joked and Randy nodded through a chuckle.

"See ya."

"Bye!" Michael was already running down the hall to the bathrooms he'd seen on his way to Alec's room.

He was gonna miss his brother...wherever he was...

Oh btw Randy is the reason Rich and Michael found out how to deactivate the Squip, such a great dude am I right?

And yes, he's the brother Rich stole the Jason mask from
