"I said I knew that you are my brother since the time I first brought you here...to this family room. More than twelve years ago..."
A kick in the teeth... Noel was sure that he couldn't have been more shocked if AJ had directly kicked him. What did he mean by these words? They were simple enough literally but still, his brain was having trouble grasping the fact.
Finally, AJ's mouth kicked up in a small smile that could be a smirk and he pushed aside his work. Picking up a cheap beer bottle he threw it at Noel who caught it quickly despite his shock. "I must say seeing you like this is quite more satisfying than I expected."
"You are lying." Noel finally spoke through clenched teeth.
"No. I've known it for a long time. Tell me, Noel, there were others with us in the Academy and yet, you are the only one I have kept close to."
