When I was away at school, my favorite stories were always those when my brothers asked when I was coming home next. It was irrefutable proof that they loved having me around- despite their ambivalence once I actually returned.
To prepare for what is surely going to be an emotional day for them, I gave them the opportunity to let it all out just a moment ago.
"So I move out tomorrow, you know. Probably you'll miss me."
"You're not going that far. You'll be around. PROBABLY we'll see you all the time still," responded apathetic-since-birth middle brother.
"Thanks for your support."
"Already? Can we come visit?" offered the younger, sentimental brother. "It looked nice in the pictures!"
"Yeah we'll come by. Sometime." - ASBMB
"Really, your love is overwhelming."
"Whatever. Have you seen my cleats?"
