Josh freezes where he sits, bottle halfway up to his lips. Has to swallow hard. Several times because he feels a bit short of breath. He remembers when he first met Han here in the Nexus, how the other had scoffed at the way Josh spoke.
He's no one's brother.
"Y...yeah?" He can't help the smile that creeps across his face, tiny and proud and altogether....happy. Family has been something Josh has been lacking for quite some time, even before the Nexus. "Well, shit. Looks like I'm never getting rid of you for good then, am I?"
Family? Family.
"Not used to suddenly bein' the younger sibling. Does this mean I get away with all the shit and give you hell? That's what my sisters always did." Hannah. Beth. They'd forgive him, right? He's not replacing them. No one could do that. But it's nice to be wanted. To belong somewhere again.
