/Hiya fellow readers! I'm back with a new story, though it's been published for a while on . Finally got around to putting it on here. ^-^' Anyhoo, just a warning, chapters in this story are VERY short because I was forced to write most of it on my 2DS, which has a character limit for how much I can type... Sorry for that, but at least I can usually get chapters out faster. I haven't been updating much of anything recently because I've been having a lot of real-life problems going on and haven't had the energy... Anyhoo, hope you like the story and please leave me some reviews for suggestions, tips, comments, etc..

"DON THOUSAND! STOP IT!" Eliphas yelled, trying to hide behind a book shelf. "YOU'RE GOING TO GET MY BOOK WET!"

Don rolled his eyes and peeked around the shelf with his bucket of ice water. "Then put the damned thing down!"

"Wha- NO! I need to study! And you know you're not allowed to curse!" Eliphas lectured, running away again.

"Does not mean I will stop. Father is not here right now anyways.." Don muttered, taking off after him.

Not long after, Eliphas found himself stuck in a corner between another book shelf and a wall.

Don grinned. "Looks like you cannot run anymore."

"Don, seriously..! I'll get in trouble..!" Eliphas whined, hugging the book close.

"You never have time to do anything fun anymore..." Don mumbled.

"It is not like it's my choice! I need to study! And you should take your own studies more seriously..."

Don yawned. "Books are boring..."

"Are not!"

He made a face. "I honestly cannot believe you prefer reading and homework over fun..."

"Books are fun!"

"Not really..."

"You just do not know what you are talking about.." Eliphas huffed. "Now I am serious. I need to finish this chapter before Father comes to check on me."

"...Fine.. It's not like I want to bother you or anything.." Don muttered, dropping the bucket and stomping out of the room.

"Don, wait! It's not like that!" Eliphas yelled after him, but Don didn't listen and simply locked himself in his room like he usually did.

A quiet knock soon sounded on his door. "Don..? I really did not mean it that way..."

Don sniffed. "I thought you were busy studying..."

"Don't be like that.. You know I didn't mean it that way.."

"...I know.."

"Please come out..."

Don hesitated, but slowly opened the door a crack.

"I'm sorry... Really.." Eliphas said quietly.

"..It's okay.. I don't mind.. I know you didn't really mean it..." Don replied, opening the door the rest of the way.

Before Eliphas could answer, a voice yelled, "ELIPHAS! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE STUDYING!"

Eliphas flinched a little. "Coming Father! I'm sorry Don.. I have to..."

Don nodded. "I know.. I understand.."

Eliphas fidgeted slightly, but soon ran off back to the library.

Don sighed and shut his door again, deciding maybe when Eliphas was done, he'd come back.
