Homesickness and Heartbreak
Thanks Abi Morgan Musa Flora Tecna on fanfiction.net for the prompt!
And now, on with the story!
Bree's POV.
I slowly got out of my capsule after making sure Skylar was asleep, not wanting to worry her as I slowly snuck down to the kitchen, wanting to make myself a cup of decaf tea and maybe a small snack, grabbing my phone and turning on the flashlight so I didn't fall down the stairs.
I made it downstairs to the kitchen when I collided with something, making me jump back and almost scream with my vocal manipulation before it covered my mouth, turning on the light when I saw the culprit.
"Chase?! What are you doing up?! It's 2:30 in the morning!"
"I could be asking you the same question, Bree! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
"Same here!"
We both calmed down after a few minutes before asking.
"OK, Chase? Why are you up?"
"I can't sleep. I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, and it's keeping me up. So I was gonna grab some Nyquil and go back to bed when you scared me to death. What about you?"
"I've been thinking a lot too, and I normally calm myself down with a decaf cup of tea and a snack." I explained before remembering that just last week was the incident with Reese, as I gently put a reassuring hand on Chase's shoulder. "Have you been thinking about Reese again?"
Chase just nodded with his head to the ground as I wrapped my arms around him and pulling him close while running my hand through his hair.
"You could've just told me. I was your older sister LONG before I was your stand in parent."
He started sniffling in my arms as he wrapped his around me.
"I-I loved her, Bree...a lot."
"I know. Trust me, I do. And heartbreak is hard, but it always gets better, even if it doesn't fully heal. And you have Kaz, Oliver, Skylar, and I. We're always here for you, Chase."
He broke our embrace while wiping his eyes on his sleeve.
"Thanks, Bree. Can I ask what you've been thinking about?"
I was in slight shock as a couple of tears brimmed my eyes.
"I'm just a bit homesick, Chase. I'm OK."
He hugged me again as I had been previously hugging him.
"You just said I can go to you for help, and you need to know the same goes for you, Bree."
I started crying while gripping onto him tightly, holding his shirt in my gripped hand.
"I-I miss them so much, Chase. I-I need to see them again."
Chase just rubbed my back and whispered.
"I miss them too, Bree. But we'll see them soon, I promise."
He slowly broke off with that as he smirked.
"Do you think I can get in on that decaf?"
I nodded as I made both some tea while he got out the Rice Krispies, one of the few foods we had back in the lab other then protein pellets and grabbed us both blankets, his computer and a pair of ear buds while we put our food and tea on the table as he turned on one of the movies we were most connected to, The Incredibles.
I may try to be a mother to my younger teammates, but sometimes, I just need to be a sister.
