Schroeder knew that Linus was on his way over and probably wasn't too happy with him. The fact that he was coming over so soon after hearing the news was a testament to that. Rerun had assured Schroeder earlier that he would talk to Linus. Apparently he hadn't had the chance yet.
Still, Schroeder was not about to let his old friend ruin his good mood. He would never want Linus to think poorly of him, but their last arguement left Schroeder feeling stung. The phrase "bio brother" ran through his mind and Schroeder scowled, kicking at the ground.
Pausing, Schroeder balled his hands into fists and tried to calm himself. It wasn't worth getting upset over if Linus was going to be reasonable.
When he heard the buzzing, Schroeder answered the door, opening it for Linus to step inside. "You don't have to attempt small talk, we both know why you're here. Tell me what I did wrong this time."
Linus couldn't have been more surprised. "What the hell are you talking about," he said cautiously, stepping into the apartment.
"I'm not here to tell you your wrong. I'm here to just talk to you about this. Obviously if you're both going to try this, then no one fucked up and it's a good thing. Right? Because if you're already regretting this, then I'm going to have to kick your ass."
"What? Of course I'm not regretting it! Let me start over." Schroeder closed the door behind Linus and walked the short distance to the living area and plopped on the couch. "I simply keep remembering the last time you talked to me concerning your brother. The circumstances aren't to same, but I still don't want things to happen now as they did then."
"You know why I went off the handle, but I don't want to talk about that either," he said, crossing his arms. "You're my friend, Schroeder and you know you're close like a brother too. I said things I shouldn't have because I was frustrated with how I thought you'd lied to me. That's all."
A sigh. "I just want to make sure you know what you're doing. He's my baby brother, Schro. I want him to be happy."
