Barry had been home for a week already, but Neil had lost his nerve. Of all the people in the world, Barry probably meant the most to him. Seeing the way Barry joked around and wrestled with him again, Neil realized how awful it would be for it all to end. Neil had lost so much recently, and after finding out about his father's infidelity and his mother's acceptance of it, Barry was the only family he felt like he still knew. Needless to say, Neil wasn't eager to jeopardize the one relationship he still had.
So things continued normally in the Schweiber household; everyone thinking too much and talking too little. The only result of Neil's over-thought was a new, less risky plan. Since he was too afraid to tackle the subject head on with Barry, he decided to drop hints and hope that they'd be enough to make Barry bring up the subject.
True to the Schweiber resolve, Neil began implmenting his plan immediatley. Since their father had turned Barry's room into a study, he had comandeered Neil's, taking free reign over everything and acting as if it were his own. Neil counted on this. Neil carefully planned out his first move, and executed it.
Neil waited patiently outside the bedroom door until Barry started masturbating one night while Neil was supposedly watching late night comedy. His only cues were aural ones, as the door was shut, so he waited longer than he wanted to, to make sure the deed was being done. Neil then swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and walked in on his brother.
"Aw man! Honestly, Barry, why can't you do that in the shower like everyone else? Aww! Dude, you're on my bed even!" Neil said, surprizing himself by showing none of the nervousness he was feeling.
"In the shower?" Barry said, sitting up and covering his leaking member with Neil's sheet. "How the hell do you do it standing up, man?"
"I didn't mean I do it in the shower, I just... just shut up, Barry. Besides, you shouldn't be that interested where I do anything of that nature, pervert. The fact that I don't do it where you sleep, should be enough."
"Yeah, okay, just be careful not to slip while you're hard, you don't want to permanently strain your penis. That can be very painful, and permanently ruin your sex life." said Barry, now grinning that he was irking his brother so.
"Oh, well, I don't guess you would mind checking in on me then, you know, to make sure I'm not causing permanent damage. I'm so young and so ignorant, I need your help desperately." Neil said, rolling his eyes and adopting an annoyed tone to mask his delight at how well things were going.
"Count on it, bud." was all that Barry said before he turned off the light.
"Oh damn. You're really gonna do it, aren't you? I hate you."
