[His grip in Levi's squeezes, just barely, his brow furrowing at the shedding of tears.]

You don' need to cry, Levi... 'Ts okay. Always wanted to make ya proud, heh. When I'd watch ya swim. So hearin' that -- it makes me feel good.

Love ya a lot. Mn... whadda your animes and stuff call it...

[Oh. Wait, he doesn't think to anime. He thinks to someone else, and he chuckles to himself, a little deliriously.]

Mn.

Nii-chan.

[trashtier]

[Despite Barrett's best efforts, his sentiments only increase the waterworks.

When he'd watch me swim...

Wait.

Nii-chan?!]

H-H-How can you say I-I don't need to cry when you g-go and s-s-say that? [A quiet sob escapes, followed by a hiccup.] All of that?!

[He really, really should not be getting so emotionally charged in front of his poor recovering brother though, so he desperately tries to reel it in. He takes a deep breath and sniffles again.]

I...I love you, too. Let's go swimming again sometime, okay? I, um... I wanna see how far your cannonballs have come since last time.

[Back then, he'd constantly complain that Barrett was ruining his concentration. But he always liked watching anyway.]

[gluttoning]

Heheh...

Gonna make a splash a lot bigger than before. So much it'll get Aiden when he's sunbathin'... heh.

[Ah, but he's woozy. He doesn't want to sleep just yet. His hand grips a little firmer with a deep inhale.]

Mmn... you still talkin' to Kara 'bout stuff? Hope so... I hope so...

[trashtier]

[A light laugh escapes through the tears. Apparently the thought of interrupting Aiden's sunbathing is enough to cheer Levi up a little.]

You've grown a lot since then, so...I bet you'll get him, and maybe even Matt while you're at it.

[Wherever Matt happens to be, he deserves to be blindsided, okay?

Kara being brought up catches him off guard, though.]

W-Well, we've been talking... [He tips his head, letting his thumb gently massage against Barrett's hand.] What kinda stuff were you hoping that we're talking about, though?

[gluttoning]

She likes you a lot. 'N you like her a lot. Haven't seen ya' so happy in forever, Levi.

[His smile could be almost impish if not for the drugs.]

Don't think it's aaaany of my business whatcha' talk 'bout... but I hope ya' talk a lot. 'N talk about both bad and good.

Sh' was kinda lonely when I knew her, y'know. So I think it'd be good f' her, too.

[Ah, but he's getting tired. The spots are starting to dance in his eyes again, and that fog that settles in so deep... Maybe he really should sleep soon.]
