As Sollux Captor sat at his computer trying to work he heard another fight break out. His three sons were arguing over who's turn it was to play the video game system downstairs.
"YOU JU2T HAD IIT BEN!"
"NO YOU HAD DID CHRII2!"
"2TOP FIGHTING! IIT2 3:00 WHIICH MEAN2 MY TURN!"
"2HUT UP ZEKE WE DON'T CARE!"
Sollux growled something and stormed downstairs. In the gaming room he could see the triplet boys bickering. Ben-the meaner of them- had managed to sock Chris in the face Chris-the mysterious triplet-had pushed Ben into the wall, and Zeke-the shyest of them all- was on the ground bleeding from the mouth and crying.
"WHAT2 G0IING 0N IIN HERE!?" Sollux yelled scaring the children. He gently picked up Zeke and gave him a cuddle.
Zeke was the innocent one and usually the first to be injured in one of his brothers fights. Sollux couldn't remember a time when Zeke wasn't bullied or injured by his doppelgänger brothers.
"ZEKE 2TOLE MY GAME TIIME!" Ben yelled stomping his foot and pointing at the crying troll.
"0ne! D0 n0t ra2iise y0ur v0iice at me," Sollux started turning off the game console. "Tw0 iit ii2 Zeke2 turn tw0 play."
Ben glared at his father. Being the baddest of the group meant he had to respect no one, or at least so he thought. Ben was punished more often then any other troll child on the block, and was proud of it too. He only respected one person and that was his crush Julia Nitram, but even she was treated like the rest at times.
"Zeke doe2n't even play any good game2!" Chris informed his father. "He mo2tly play2 that 2tupiid old DJ 3-D Kit-3: Neon color bur2t!"
Chris never wanted to be a bully, he just followed Bens example. Sometimes he would defend his shy brother. He was more respectful than Ben, but less respectful than Zeke. His crush was Sidney Zahank until he fell in love with Candy Vantas.
"Chrii2 y0u and Ben g0 tw0 y0ur r00m!" Sollux commanded as the two marched upstairs.
Zeke gave a sniff as his father set him on the bathroom counter. Blood gushed from his mouth and onto his black pants. After a quick examination of Zekes mouth, Sollux applied pressure to the fair sized cut in Bens mouth.
"Wh0 hiit y0u Zeke?" Sollux asked as he finished cleaning the cut.
"Ben diid becau2e II wouldn't giive hiim my game tiime." Zeke explained hopping off the counter. Sollux picked up his child and walked back into the office.
"Piikachu!" Zeke exclaimed as his favorite Pokèmon KO'd. Sollux allowed the boy to play Pokèmon in his office, a rare thing for any of the children to do.
"Y0u want t0 g0 t0 Candiie2 f0r her 2leep0ver t0niight?" Sollux questioned Zeke who was now using Skitty. Karkat had told him that Candy was throwing a sleepover over Pesterchum and thought it would be a good time for Zeke to meet some of the other children.
"2ure..." Zeke answered half listening. His I-pod made a chirping noise, meaning that someone was trolling him. He turned it on and entered his password unlocking the screen.
"Wh0 iis iit?" Sollux was leaning back in his chair to get a view of his sons I-pod.
"Candy," Zeke started as he saved his Pokèmon status. "Can II u2e group chat?"
Sollux gave a nod towards his son as he returned to work. Zeke managed to get the chat working in no time. It wasn't hard really, you just had to know who to chat!
