Sup' Bro?

Entering by the open window was easy.

Scaling a scrawny tree to reach the said window was not.

But here he was, nonetheless.

The intruder dusted off his jeans and looked around critically. This room definitely belonged to a boy, judging by the mess. Gray eyes behind black geek glasses narrowed in disapproval as they took in all the worthless and bizarre clutter of funky junk scattered around the room. After a moment of thought, the blue-haired teen drew the threadbare curtains shut behind him and picked his way across the floor that looked more like a battleground laid to waste. The state of the room repulsed him, but he would have to put up with it. The bluehead inspected the thing that was supposed to be a shabby excuse of an armchair with mild distaste, shifted it to face the door and sat down in it. When exactly the tenant of this place would come back, he wasn't sure, but he couldn't have cared less. And so, he, lounging in the grubby armchair like he was the king of the world, waited with the patience of a saint and a skilled predator for the little bird to return to its nest.

An hour later, the sound of a fumbling key turning inside the lock broke the silence.

He gazed at the opening door indifferently

as the person behind it came into view

and saw him sitting there, cool as ice.

The young boy jaw-dropped at him, eyes widening behind those ridiculous red sunglasses he was wearing, incredulous shock written all over his freckled face. He staggered back, stunned.

"E-Exper!" The boy managed to stammer out at last.

The older teen regarded him with cold eyes the colour of bad, stormy omens.

"Long time no see, Rook's." He tilted his head to one side mockingly, a mirthless smile on his face.

"And since when did I permit you to call me by my name, little brother?"
