"Don't be stupid," Ezra scoffed, angering Nathaniel even more.
"Careful," Maximillian said, slowly warning him. "He's different now."
"I don't give a shit," Ezra hissed as he glared at Nathaniel. "He should understand by now that he had people who care about him. He should realize that if something bad happens we will be worried and we will blame ourselves."
"What the fuck are you talking about, Ezra?" Nathaniel asked rolling his eyes at his younger brother.
He thought Ezra would relent, but his brother didn't, instead, he continued to push his brother.
"Stop giving us the bullshit that you ran away the first time because you were afraid of responsibility!" Ezra said, raising his voice. "I know Xander threatened to hurt me and Emilia, I saw the messages."
"He what?!" it seemed that Maximillian had no idea of what Ezra said, something that genuinely surprised Nathaniel.
"And what if he did?" Nathaniel asked.
