The Fight

Buster looked up at Arthur with an angry glare. He'd never done such a thing before. He'd never brought back one of his prized, beloved comics covered with soda and too sticky to use. Arthur was usually responsible, so eager to protect the belongings of his friends. But this time? This was inexcusable.

"Buster, I tried, but Benji-" Arthur pleaded, but Buster curled his lip in disgust. "You know I have no control over such things. Please, you have to belive me. I'd never detroy your things on purpose."

"So you ADMIT you stole the life of this beloved comic?! I'd expect such things from my ENEMIES, but my best FRIEND?!" Buster screamed, moving to his dresser drawer filled with Buster's most prized treasures. His favorite slice of moldy bread was there along with letters from his father. But behind that small box was a special hat he'd made a few months before. Arthur knew OF the hat, but he'd never actually seen it.

The tin foil crinkled as Buster put on his special hat. His eyes were beady and filled with rage, but he chose his words very carefully. He was done with Arthur, finished with his irresponsible ways. He wished Arthur farewell, tossing him a t-shirt they'd shared since midle school, since before they both hit their growth spurts and grew too big for it. He pulled out a soda cozy and tossed it at Arthur. Everything that meant anything to the both of them was thrown in Arthur's face.

Arthur felt horrible, but he knew he deserved it. He picked up the items and left the room, moving down the stairs unhappily. He placed the items on the front step before leaving. He knew it was over and he wanted no reminders. So he went home to glare at his baby brother from afar.

Buster couldn't stay angry at Arthur for long. A few days later, his mother noticed the ruined comic in a container and found a replacement for it. With nothing to come between them, Buster approached Arthur at lunch and apologized. The two were awkward at first, but they were soon joking again like nothing ever happened.

Theme 005: Friendship OVER

A/N: This theme is from a one-shot theme list challenge I'm doing with TheUltimateCombo. We've posted them on our profiles if you're interested in joining us, and I plan on submitting them to my deviantArt account, SS-Chrys, as well.

Also, this takes place about the same time Sophomore Sorrows does, for those of you who have read that. Benji is probably around 1 and the boys are about 16. This takes place after they reunite basically. I hope the age thing didn't confuse anyone. If it did, I'm sorry:)
