dear_mun | Plot twist

This I do not like. My mun really needs a better life so I can prevent this shit.

Tell me about it. [Andrew shakes his head, with Tess sick and both Michael and Damien not around at the moment he's between 'nervous breakdown' and 'panic.'] We'll get her the best doctors. She'll beat this.

ANd nomore trying for a baby. Not until she does.

Yeah, of course not. Fuck, Will...I don't know what to do.

[Sighs a bit.] Neither do I. I already feel like a failure because of my mun. This--this I can't even make better.

How do you think I feel? I couldn't protect my parents, now I can't protect my sister, and I'm in love with two guys who could probably do a lot better than me who are off fuck knows where.

I'm sorry Andrew. My mun is just as in shock. She's dealing with this real life as well. So I suppose my reactions will be channeling my mun.

I hope they come back. I wish I hadn't vanished again, maybe she wouldn't have gotten sick.

It's not your fault, Will. You've always been good to her.

As for Michael and Damien, god, I don't know. I probably will do something to push them away from me at some point. I always do.

She is amazing woman. Made me happy when canon was being shit. I will spend as much as I have to make sure she gets better.

You deserve happiness too Andrew. I hope they don't vanish. At least not both.

We'll get through this together. You're good for her, Will, I know I don't tell you that but you are.

And I...don't know. I just really love these guys. But they probably deserve each other more than I deserve either of them. Curse of falling in love with two best friends.

That means a lot coming from you, Andrew.

You deserve them if they make you happy. I want you to find happiness too.

Well, you are my brother in law now.

We'll see. I'm hoping one or both of them will turn up eventually, it's been a while but it happens like that sometimes.

I am a testament to that.

True. And I really love these guys.

My mun has to grab a late shower, but if you want to set something up maybe we can get together. Figure things out.

Andrew...?

What happened?

She went to the doctor for the whole baby thing, and...and...it just...

...Fuck.

Hey, I... I know I'm no one special, or anything, and you probably already have one hell of a support group to get you both by, but if there's anything I could do to help, I will.

How is she?

Thanks, Kat. I appreciate it. I'm just overwhelmed right now.

She's pretty scared. She was nervous enough when it was just about her and Will trying to get pregnant. To have this dropped on her is a double whammy, you know?

You know the details?

[She was a psychiatrist, but she had to take a bit of anatomy when she was in schooling. It wasn't her forte, eitherway though. Drinking was her forte. She wanted to help, but she didn't even know his sister.]

H-hey... it's understandable.

[Andrew shakes his head.]

They just found the tumors and they say they look cancerous. They're doing more tests on Monday.

[He's seeing his life repeating itself. First his parents are killed and now what if he can't save his sister, too? What if he's just a failure, with everyone he loves doomed to die? It's all wildly out of control, but this is basically Andrew's biggest fear.]

I still have to tell her school and everyone else.

I...

...

Do you want company? I mean, I can drive you there and-- things. I know when you get that kind of news its never a good idea to drive.

If you don't, that's alright too.

If you wanted? I mean, Will's coming with us to the hospital on Monday. And he's with Tess twenty-four seven, I mean he has to be, they work together, so...but I'm just sort of taking care of the non-essential things. And waiting for either of my boyfriends to get back to me.

I just want to help.
It's inappropriate, damn.

[She didn't even know any of those people.]

I'm starting to think my entire life is cursed, Kat. Like I did something wrong somewhere all those years ago and I'm never allowed to be happy for more than a few weeks or a few months.

Bullshit.
That's bullshit you hear me?

[She'll poke into his chest.]

Everyone's gonna get through it, and things are gonna be just fine, Andrew.
You're tough. Your sister's probably twice as tough. And the doctor'sll take that shit right out. Just stay with me here.

[He's surprised by the ferocity of her response, which actually makes him take a step backward.]

There's a lot of history here, Kat. Things you don't know about.

[When he steps backwards, she hesitates, biting her lip. She felt her own little pang of empathy and she was getting to emotionally invested cause of mistakes she made.]

I...
I know.
I just--

You're such a great guy, Andrew.
I don't know what to do. She's lucky to have a brother like you.

Sometimes I don't feel that way.

[He sighs.]

Look, why don't you come over for dinner? You sound like you could use some company yourself. And I'm on my own, at least until Michael gets back into town.

Dinner sounds great.

[She nods.]

We can catch up-- last time we were cut short.

[At least she thought so...]

Of course. Though I don't know how much you want to know.

[A shaky laugh at that, as he writes down his address for her and hands it to her on the back of one of his business cards.]

I'll get something started. Come over whenever you'd like. The only thing that might happen is Michael might turn up. He said he was on his way back when I talked to him.

I suppose I'll share you.

[A gentle joke-- considering who he was.]

[He can laugh about that, considering he's in a relationship with two other men at the moment.]

Funny, Kat. You'd like Mike, though. He's really a stand-up guy.

[Which Kat could consider really hot yet again. She was a little jealous he had so much action.]

I'd love to meet him. Who's the other one? Or ones?

[He did mention other boyfriends-- but didn't specify how many exactly. Damnit Andrew. So much action.]

Damien. Michael's partner at work. He's...off on a mission somewhere, probably.

[He didn't know where Damien was, and it worried him that Michael didn't either. Michael was supposed to always know. But worrying about Damien on top of worrying about Tessanne would just give him an ulcer, so he had to trust that Damien could take care of himself.]

I'd like to meet him too.
I'll see you, alright?

Sure. See you soon.
