"Oy, Fred, do you where I put my b-" George stopped mid-sentence as he spotted in his broken down state.

"Woah. What's wrong?" he asked worriedly, walking across the room to face his brother.

Angrily, he wiped at his tear-stained face.
"Nothing. I had something in my eye."

"Uh huh. Of course," George said with a serious nod. "So what's wrong?"

Clearly, George wasn't going to drop it.
"Just...stuff," he said, quietly. That didn't mean that Fred was going to give in easily.

"Right. Things are so much clearer now." George shook his head, taking a seat on his bed and looking at Fred seriously. "Honestly. What's the matter?"

Pulling his pillow into his lap, Fred stared at it silently for a couple of minutes.

"Bletchley's dad's dead," he said, finally, very quietly, his voice all raspy-like.

George sighed, scratching the back of his head a little awkwardly. He'd been afraid it would have something to do with that.

"Yeah. I read."

Fred didn't want to think about it. He sat with his back against the wall, clutching at his pillow.
And didn't say anything.
He didn't want to talk about it.

ooc: *insert awesome twin vibe*

George nodded slowly, absently picking at a loose thread on his sleeve.

"It's okay, y'know," he said quietly.

He shook his head.
"It's not, George."

Did he even know what this meant?

George sighed again, rubbing his forehead roughly. "Okay, so maybe it's not but...I dunno, Fred. You don't know what's gonna happen. And there's nothing anyone can do to stop whatever it is. So what else can ya do other than try to pretend it's okay?"

Absently scratching at his forearm, as though expecting the Dark Mark to suddenly appear, Fred sighed.

"...That's not all..."

"What'd you mean?" George asked, clearly confused as to what Fred was refering to.

He leaned his head back against the wall as he felt the tears well up again. His eyes strained, looking at the canopy over his bed.

"Angie's dad..." was all he could manage to get out before his breath caught in his throat.

"What-?"

...Oh shit.

"Oh shit," George muttered, his eyes widening considerably as he realized what this could actually mean.

Fred pressed the balls of his hands hard into his eyeballs. He was trying to stop the tears from falling, but all he managed to do was see spidery webs of light in the darkness.

"He won custody," he said, his voice still raspy, but no emotion left in it.
