Brian sauntered about the forest for awhile, his black eyes scanning all about the place looking for the shorter boy. His steps stuttered when he saw said shorter boy fast asleep on a sun covered patch on top of a large rock. The inky eyed boy's heart gave a stutter as well. The light bounced off the others skin and it made him almost glow.

Brian breathed in quickly and strode forwards coming to a stop at Steve's head. He stared down at him with his slowly blinking eyes. A grin broke out on his face as he leaned over the other boy. Brian reached up and slapped at the others tanned cheek lightly. When he only got a quiet grunt he huffed and pinched a chunk of his face.

The ink eyed boy stepped back as Steve sat up with a yelp. Due to his quick ascension Steve ended up slipping off the large rock and onto the ground with a loud thud. The teen ended up with his face in the grass. Steve growled lowly, he sat up quickly to get a look at the fucker that woke him up. Though the words never came out right. The only sound that slipped out of his throat was a quiet squeak. His purple eyes were wide and unblinking to the point that they started to burn.

In just a breath Steve was off the ground and throwing himself into Brian's firm frame. His body slamming into the other boy with so much force the both of them almost ended up on the ground. Steve's arms were tight around the boys' shoulders, his face pressed against Brian's cheek. Brian stumbled once then caught himself before he wrapped his arms around Steve's waist and buried his nose into the other's shoulder. The soft smell of earth and oak was strong and familiar.

Against Brian's cheek the words were muffled but still well heard, "You're finally back!"

Brian chuckled and nodded his head his voice too muffled, "Yeah. I'm finally back."

Steve's back and arms burned from the bruises and cuts but he didn't give a damn at all. All he cared about was his best friend that was finally back in his arms again. The purple eyed boy could feel his eyes burn with a joyous pain. A whimper was choked back as tears started to flow down his face.

The both of them finally pulled away after several minutes of just holding each other after so long. When Steve released the others shoulders he bounced back on his heels. The teen was still just to the other boys collarbone just as he had been three years ago. Steve looked Brian in the eyes, his purple eyes squinted with a grin. His eyes misty and tear filled, several tears clung to his cheeks.

Brian's heart just seemed to stutter once again. The others purple eyes were bright and beautiful against his tanned face. His tears making his eyes glisten just a bit brighter than before. Brian smiled sweetly at the shorter boy and ruffled his hair with a laugh.

"Lets head back, I wouldn't doubt that Wither wants to see you too, Steve."

Steve nodded and both of them started back to the little village. They talked again talked, they wrote letters back and forth but you could only write so much on paper. So Brian was telling a bunch of stories about the stupid students he had to deal with his first year.

This string lead them to talking about how the other students treated Steve. Though he was hesitant before he eventually told Brian what they had been doing for the last three years. Brian was not happy at all, he chewed the other out for not saying a word about it over their letters. The inky eyed male snapped about how he was going to beat the absolute shit out of those brats! Steve just chuckled pitifully, he quickly changed the subject before they got to deep into the others angry rant.

As they made their way over to Brian's house he stopped at the front door. Brian pressed a hand onto Steve's shoulder an angry snarl pulling across his face.

"You go in and chat with Wither and mom, I'm going to go ahead and deal with those little shits." His black eyes had a dark glint in them.

Steve sighed but just pat Brian's hand and nodded, "Alright, alright. Just don't kill them Brian we don't want to get into trouble with the other villages. They should be somewhere near the school just so you know," Steve smiled.
