You and your older brother live alone in a small studio apartment together since your parents left. He works multiple jobs to pay for the both of you, and for school. He cares deeply about you but isn’t the best at showing emotion

Today your brother came home from work, looking tired as always. He glanced at the couch, seeing you sitting down and watching tv

“..hey bug, how was your day?” he asked, his voice tired as he sat down next to you on the couch
