RAPR—Stupid Things
"WUUUAHHHHH!"
A loud yell was heard. This particular Irken was in a position that he needed SERIOUS help in. His friend opened the door to the room they spend the most time in, and before he saw Purple, he said,
"What on Irk is going—PURPLE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE!"
"AHH! MAKE THE GRAVITY COME BACK RED! MAKE IT STOP!"
The smarter of the two Tallest pressed a big red button, and the sudden gravity made Purple and his snacks fall from the place where they were close to the ceiling, down to the floor. Red made a sudden leap for ward and managed to catch Purple.
He looked over at the button he had pressed.
"See, Pur? This might be why the button is red. It does smarter things than this."
"Oh, like you haven't done something like this before!" the dumber of the two was being held bridal style by his friend. Neither of them thought this would look weird because they had never heard of being carried this way because Irkens don't marry. They don't mate either. They are cloned in testubes. They also don't blush or know what it is, but then again, because Irkens haven't experience anything more than "friendship", they didn't know they COULD blush. Purple's cheeks felt warm.
"Hey, are you sick?"
"Huh?" Purple snapped out of his thoughts for a moment.
"I think you spaced out. The fall too much trauma for you?"
Purple, feeling quite embarrassed and in need of a distraction suddenly drew Red's attention to the floor and said,
"What will we do? That's the last of the donuts that we used our Monies on from Foodcourtia! And we won't be going there to get more for half a month!"
Red gasped. He helped Purple down from his arms and to his feet. On accident, Purple let out a noticeable sigh of relief.
"Pur?"
"Yeah?" Purple didn't suspect a think. It only took a moment for Red to pin him to the nearest wall.
"I know you too well. I won't do anything about our snacks until you tell me what your problem is." He placed his hand on Purple's cheek to feel his temperature, which unintentionally made his friend blush even more. He adverted Red's gaze.
"I'm not sick…." Purple pouted.
"Yes you are. You're MUCH too warm."
"How so? WHOA!" Red picked his friend up and carried him to their bed. They weren't together in a sexual way, though. They shared EVERYTHING.
He laid Purple down on the bed and pulled the covers over him. He knelt down beside him.
"Before I let you rest, is there anything you want to say to me? You know, to get it off your chest?" Red's eyes seemed to penetrate poor Purple's soul. He felt terribly watched as he tried to look away from his red counterpart, thus obtaining more heat in his cheeks.
"Please quit looking at me like that. I know I do stupid things, but could you at LEAST quit looking at me like that?" it took about five seconds for Purple to quickly sit up and say as if it were some sort of blasphemy, "Holy Irk! Please don't tell anyone I said that! Then the shorter Irkens will think they're closer to being special because we do stupid things, too!" Red stared at Purple with wide eyes as Purple clutched onto his chest and stared at him with puppy dog eyes.
"Now, why would I do that?" he answered comfortingly, taking Purple's hands into his own. "After all, you're not the only Tallest here, are you?" he winked at him. He slowly let go of his hands and went to turn off the light as he was about to leave the room.
"Hey, Red?" Purple said.
"Yeah?"
"I don't know what would become of Irk if I were the only Tallest. I'm glad you're here."
"Heh. I'm glad I'm not the only Tallest as well. I like keeping secrets like this with you." He winked at Purple before he turned off the lights and left the room.
"I really don't know how I'd live without you…." Purple whispered before closing his eyes, and drifting away into a world of slumber, where it was only he and Red, and many more secrets to come.
