Mood Swings
"Are you sure you want to marry her, T? I mean, this is Lillian we're talking about. You've known her since she was a baby." Phil said shuffling a deck of cards.
Tommy chuckled and handed Phil a beer "Yeah, I'm positive."
Chuckie leaned on the table and watched Phil as dealt the cards out "I guess it's a perk that you've known her your whole life. You didn't have to go through the whole awkward stage of getting to know each other."
"You've seen her at her worst" Dil added "And, you've seen her at her best."
"I've seen all the sides of Lillian DeVille." Tommy said shaking his head and taking a swig of his beer "But it's all those sides of her that I love."
Phil laughed and leaned back in his chair "I'm glad she's marrying you. I don't think I'd approve of anyone else for her. Plus, mom and dad love you so it works."
"Even if Betty and Howard hated me, I'm pretty sure Lil would still date me and hopefully marry me."
"You never know, T. Lil can be..." Dil started trying to think of the word.
"Moody." Chuckie and Phil in unison.
"No she's not!" Tommy said, trying to defend his fiancée.
"Oh yeah?" Phil said with a laugh "I can remember plenty of times where one of you has suggested that you two break up because of her random ass mood swings"
"Tell me one then, Phil." Tommy said with a smile.
It was the Rugrats junior year of high school. Tommy and Phil were standing in the kitchen of the DeVille house getting ready to go out and do something. The back door was pulled open and Tommy turned around, drink in hand, and smiled at who walked through the door.
His girlfriend of four years, Lillian DeVille, walked through the door, throwing her cheer bag on the ground. She looked over at Tommy before walking over to him and wrapping her arms around his waist and placing a kiss on his cheek. "What are you guys up to?" she asked taking Tommy's drink from him.
"We were planning on going on an adventure."
Lil raised an eyebrow "To where?"
"You know that house a few blocks away? The one that burned down?" Lil nodded "That one."
"Why would you want to go there?" she asked as Tommy put an arm around her shoulder "It's just a bunch of burnt up junk. Plus, I heard an infant died in the fire."
Phil leaned on the counter, crossing his arms and flashing his sister a smile "That's exactly why we want to go. Haunted."
Lil rolled her eyes and looked up at Tommy "Aren't you getting too old for adventures?"
"I'm only seventeen. Still a good enough age to go adventuring."
Lil pulled away from him and handed him back his drink "One of these days you're going to get hurt."
Tommy shook his head "How many adventures have you been on with me? I've never gotten hurt."
Phil sighed. The smallest things would start a fight between them. Mainly because Lil was protective of him and could sometimes be moody. She crossed her arms and glared at Tommy. Phil didn't really understand what it was that made her mad, but Tommy would be sure not to do it again "That's a lie! You broke your leg on one of your 'adventures'"
"That was because someone got scared and practically pushed me into a ditch." he said glaring right back at her.
Lil scoffed. He would put the blame on her. It wasn't her fault him and Phil dragged her into the woods at night. The woods are pretty terrifying if you don't have a light and have a brother that will scare you. "Why are you blaming me for that? As a boyfriend you're suppose to protect me in situations like that, which you weren't."
Phil put his hands over his face. Here they go. He was always the one to witness their fights, their almost break ups. Their getting back together. He moved his hand and looked between the two, he was still trying to figure out what it was that made Lil mad.
Tommy took a step away from Lil "So now I'm a bad boyfriend?"
"You aren't the best boyfriend out there."
Phil groaned and threw his head back. He was already tired of them, it wasn't even a real argument to start with, but now it's going to be one. Tommy crossed his arms and shook his head at her "Am I really that bad?"
"Yeah, Tommy, you really are."
Phil looked over at Tommy and could see the anger building up in his eyes. In his head he started counting down 'five... Four... Three... Two...'
"Maybe we should just break up then since I'm such a horrible boyfriend."
"Maybe we should, it would probably be for the best"
Tommy shook his head and started walking out of the kitchen. "See ya later, Phil." he said giving Phil a wave.
"Later" Phil looked over at Lil who was shaking her head.
She took a deep breath and looked towards the front door. Phil watched and sighed, again counting down in his head. This happened way too often with the two of them 'Five... Four... Three... Two..."
"Tommy, wait!" Lil ran into the living room and grabbed Tommy's arm before he walked out of the house.
Phil followed her out into the living room and leaned against the wall to watch them makeup. He figured no matter what, no matter how many random mood swings Lil has, no matter how many times they "break up", they'd always get right back together.
Lil threw her arms around Tommy's neck "I'm sorry, I don't want to break up"
Tommy slipped his arms around Lil's waist and pulled her closer "I don't either."
Lil buried her face in his neck, tears in her eyes. They've almost broken up plenty of times, and every time it happened it still hurt her. She was sure it hurt him too, but you could never tell with Tommy. She pulled a way a little and gave him a kiss "I'm sorry"
He gave her a smile "Me too."
Phil shook his head and chuckled. These two were amazing. Fighting, breaking up, making up, and then repeat the whole thing a few days later? It's surprising neither of them get tired of it. He knows he would. If him and Kimi were like that it would drive him insane. Other than all their fighting, he approved of Tommy for her. He honestly couldn't think of anyone better for his sister.
