So...um, this is my first uploaded story. I'm not so sure what to expect, but I've wanted to do this for a while now. I've just never had the time until now.
Criticisms are appreciated and I hope you enjoy!
Matthew was actually having a good day. He had not gotten any annoying phone calls from his brother. Yes, it was a nice day. So nice, he decided to take a walk with his bear, Kumakiro (or was it Kumakichi?), to go get the groceries for dinner. When he came back, groceries in one hand and his bear in the other, his brother was waiting with an idiotic grin on his face.
"Mattie, where were you? I called you like 5 times!"
Matthew sighed. "I went out to buy stuff for dinner."
"Well, forget that! You're having dinner at my place tonight. Won't it be fun?"
"Why?" Matthew asked. The only times Alfred invited him for dinner were when he wanted to watch a scary movie and he couldn't watch it alone.
"Because we're brothers, Mattie!" Alfred pouted, looking like a little puppy.
"You're gonna put on a scary movie aren't you?"
"N-no…"
"All right then, I'm staying home." He made a move towards the door, but Alfred stopped him.
"Okay, okay, I wanna watch a scary movie!"
Of course it's a scary movie, Matthew thought.
"So Mattie, wanna come over?"
"Sure, why not?" Alfred grinned.
"All righty then, let's go!" Alfred grabbed him by the arm, and began to walk.
'Wait, what about my groceries?"
After a quick stop to drop off the groceries (and to grab a change of clothes), they headed off to Alfred's house. Once inside, Alfred picked up the phone to dial for pizza, and Matthew walked towards the living room. He sat down on the soft couch, letting his bear wander off. He heard Alfred sticking something in the microwave, and he began to smell popcorn. After 10 minutes, Alfred walked in, with a large tub of popcorn and two cups of soda.
"So I'm guessing, pizza, popcorn and a soda is what you had in mind for 'dinner'?" Matthew asked.
"Yup!" Alfred grabbed the DVD box, pulled out the CD, and put it in the DVD player.
"Hey Matt, wanna bet on who's gonna scream first tonight?"
"Why?"
"It'll be fun!"
"All right then suppose I decided to make this bet. What would the winner get?"
"The winner gets to tell the loser what to do for 2 days. The loser has to suck it up and do it."
Matthew smiled. This was in the bag for him! "Sure, why not?"
An hour later….
Matthew couldn't look at the screen anymore. Normally these 'scary' movies Alfred chose really sucked, but this one was the definition of scary. Alfred had his eyes shut and his ears covered, but every time someone screamed in the movie, he jumped. Neither of them wanted to admit defeat, so they held their mouths shut.
Soon, the torture was over, and when the end credits started to roll, they both let out a big sigh.
"Well, looks like no one won, so… I'm going to sleep." Matthew got up and walked towards the stairs.
"Wait, Mattie! Don't leave me here!" Alfred followed him, not wanting to be left behind.
After changing into his pajamas and climbing into the guest bed, Matthew tried to shut his eyes and go to sleep, but he couldn't. Suddenly, something grabbed his shoulder. Matthew opened his eyes and screamed.
"Whoa, Matt! Looks like someone lost the bet!" Alfred grinned, standing triumphantly in his boxers.
"Wha- Alfred? I thought the bet was over!"
"Nope! I didn't call it off! Now you have to do what I say!"
Matthew threw a pillow at him. "What the heck? You tricked me!"
"No I didn't, you chose to take the bet, now pay the price."
Matthew groaned. "Can this wait until tomorrow?"
"Sure, as long as you let me sleep with you."
"Like I have a choice. You would have climbed in anyways." Mathew rolled over to make room for his brother on the bed. After a few minutes of shuffling, they were set.
"Good night Mattie."
"Good night Al."
