There was a loud pop that echoes in Charlie's ears before the pain spreads through his abdomen. Grunting, he moves his hand to the sore areas, the red stains that come back telling him all he needs to know. Knees hit the pavement as he doubles over, a fine line of blood trickling down the side of his mouth.

He hears a voice yell his name, but it sounds like complicated jargon rather than something that makes sense. All Charlie can focus is the excruciating soreness that zings along his nerves and makes his body go numb. Eventually, it becomes too much, so he lies on the sidewalk and waits for the death he knows is soon coming.

However, the voice comes again, closer than before. It's still complicated jargon but it sounds vaguely familiar. Large hands press against the bleeding area and it comes again, louder this time, and Charlie looks up, being greeted with a pair of familiar eyes and a face that he'd be able to pick out from a crowd of people no matter what.

He wonders where Don's team is, why he's here without anyone else around, but at the moment, he takes solace in knowing that at least he won't die alone. His brother's voice echoes in his ears and it brings Charlie more comfort than he thought possible. After all, with a history of hating each other, tolerating each other, working on cases, and eventually to... whatever they're at now, his wildest imaginations couldn't have told him that he would come to care about his older brother to the point he can't imagine life without him.

 Stay with me, Chuck.

That irritating nickname brings a bit of a smile. Charlie hates it with a passion but as the years went on and Don calls him it far more frequently, he learns to deal with a little more.

He feels himself getting moved around--a little bit at a time so the wound doesn't get worse, Charlie assumes--until his head rests his brother's chest and his heartbeat pounds like a drum in his ears. It was a soothing sound. He can feel the darkness clinging to the ends of his vision. He hopes Don won't grieve too long, that he'll be happy one day, live his life to the fullest and maybe... maybe, find someone who cares about him.

The last thing he hears is Don's voice telling him everything will be okay. For you, I hope it is.

There's a steady beep in his ears that causes him to awaken and blink for a moment before registering what was going on. He was shot. He should be dead but this looks real enough to be life to him.

Charlie looks over, feeling warmth and pressure on his hand, his eyes gazing upon the one he loves above everything else. Don slumbers peacefully in the chair in a way the younger Eppes knows his brother will have pains when he awakens. Not having the heart to wake him, Charlie runs his thumb against his brother's hand, taking comfort from the small gesture.

Whatever happens now, he decides, they'll face together.
I'm pretty sure this doesn't need mature content but... some people might get a little butthurt over the fact that it's an incestuous relationship. Eh. Well, the title should give away that it's incest so hopefully people don't bite my head off too much. :XD:

Anyway, Don and Charlie from Numb3rs~ They've been my OTP for the past six months and Numb3rs has been my obsession since the beginning of January. What can I say, I love the characters, the plot, and everything else. o3o

This is a little drabble for them that I decided to write simply because I felt like it. The ending, eh, I felt like I could have done better but hey. I'm bad at ending stories sometimes. ~_~ I shall have to work on that!

Now I have to work on my multi chaptered AU story for the brothers Eppes. I suck at writing weddings. x_x Wish me luck.
