"S-Sprx?"He became nervous when Sprx didn't respond to him. His eyes were still closed in frustration.
"Gibson..."He said slowly, with a threatening tone to it.
"Try to be reasonable Sprx."He laughed uneasy."I-I didn't really mean it."
Sprx finally opened his eyes, Gibson saw the anger in them and flinched."Didn't mean it huh?"
Shaking his head and putting his hands up in surrender, he tried to calm the red monkey."A-Absolutely not!"
"Then why did it hurt?"Sprx said angrily, yet softly.
Gibson was quiet for a moment, speechless."What?"He said just above a whisper.
He crossed his arms, closing his eyes again."It really hurts Gibson."
Guilt was starting to creep its way upon the blue monkey."Sprx...I..."
"Shut it". Gibson jumped a bit, surprised at the harsh tone of his voice. He turned around, but didn't move away from his spot."I don't wanna hear anymore of this."
"Sprx!"He said loudly, panicking."I-I was just kidding!"
"Sure you were."He said, making his way out of the room.
Guilt choked him by the throat, tears were slowly forming in his eyes. He ran up to Sprx and wrapped his arms around his neck, hugging him firmly. Sprx stopped, but still didn't look at him. Gibson cried on the back of his neck, softly whimpering."I...I didn't mean it...I was just kidding."
Sprx didn't answer him.
"You know I would never say that..."He said, hoping to get a response.
"So...what you said...isn't true?"
"No, none of it."He rubbed his cheek on the side of his.
"So I'm not 'good enough' like you said?"
"I was just kidding when I said that! Your a good big brother, a really good one!"He sniffed. Sprx didn't say anything to that, making Gibson look at him in worry."Sparky..."
Nothing.
"S-Sparky..."He whimpered.
Still nothing.
Gibson looked sadly at Sprx and kissed him softly on his cheek, rubbing it again with his own."G-Gibby's sorry Sparky..."
For a few seconds, the room was two monkeys didn't say a word to each other...until Gibson heard a snicker. Looking at Sprx, he saw a smirk on his face. He tried to blink away the tears to see if he was seeing correctly. Sprx turned his head a bit and winked at Gibson.
"Just kidding!"
"..."
Sprx smiled, just waiting for the reaction.
"...I can't believe you!"Gibson let go of Sprx and clenched his hands in to fists. He was shaking with anger."You...you..."
Sprx turned around and smiled at him. He put his arm around his neck and gave him a soft noogie, making Gibson slowly stop shaking in anger."I was just kidding Gibby."He got a grumble in response.
Sprx kissed him on the cheek, calming him down slightly."Now we're even."He held him a little tighter."Never...kid like that again...got it little brother?"Gibson noticed there was a hint of anger in his voice, despite the smile on his face.'He wasn't kidding...at least not all of it..."He thought.
It scared him either way though, probably what he must've made Sprx feel too."Never kid like that again either big brother."He said softly, a small smile appearing on his face. He hugged Sprx, who returned it without hesitation.
The two couldn't have been more happier to get even with each other.
