Decided to make a Lifty/Flaky story since there seems to be a severe lack of FlakyxLifty/Shifty fics. And, yes these are humanized version of the characters.
Title of the story is from the Nickelback song 'Savin' Me' for some reason listening to that song could only make me think about Lifty/Flaky. X)
xXx
"Te he he he," a pair of green haired twins snickered as they casually walked past a violet haired male with a mole on his cheek, each of them carrying a large sack over their shoulders.
They entered the music store and looked around with wide grins on their faces. Eyes greedily taking in the sight of all the expensive items they could steal.
"Hurry up Lifty, and grab as much stuff as you can before that wannabe superhero comes." Shifty commanded, running off with his sack.
Lifty nodded and eyed the CDs. Adjusting his sunglasses, he made his way over to them and started dumping them hurriedly into the sack, taking a few headphones, his typical mischievous grin on his face as he snickered, knowing that he could make some big bucks from Disco Bear with the headphones and CDs.
Glancing back at where his brother was at the other side of the store, Lifty saw his brother stuffing multiple guitars inside of his sack before closing it and tossing it over his shoulder to hold as he looked around for anything else to steal.
Closing his own sack, Lifty strode over to the large window next to the entrance where he could see the violet haired employee still outside, wiping down the window, oblivious to the two inside.
Green eyes widened in alarm when Lifty spotted a blue speck in the sky quickly making its way over to where they were. He hurried over to his brother and tugged on his sleeve insistently. "Shifty! The blue idiot is coming we have to go!"
Shifty brushed him off, trying to figure out how to open the cash register. "Hang on! I'm trying to get this thing open! Here," he pushed one of the guitars from his sack into Lifty's hand. "Hurry up and smash it open!"
Lifty briefly glared at his twin, irritated that he's always forced to do all the grunt work just because he was younger. Nonetheless, he tightened his grip around the handle and lifted it above his head before slamming it down on the register.
Moving the guitar away, Shifty inspected the register, frowning when it still refused to open.
"Again!" He demanded, pointing at the register.
Lifty rolled his eyes and began to repeatedly hammer the register with the guitar until he heard a loud click and saw something green float up from inside.
"Alright!" Shifty cackled, shoving the guitar away and grabbing handfuls of bills to stuff into his sack.
Lifty frowned and ran back to the large window with the guitar in hand, he gasped and threw his arms up to cover his face when the glass suddenly shattered, he felt something slam into him sending him flying back, skidding to a stop next to his twin.
Ignoring the stinging in his arm from the multiple glass pieces buried inside, Lifty painfully pulled himself up, looking to his petrified brother standing next to him.
"Shit." Shifty muttered, tightening his grip on the sack as Splendid smirked at them, standing triumphantly with his hands on his hips.
"You guys are busted now." He chuckled, not noticing that he was standing on The Mole, who was laying limply on the ground, covered in glass shards, a pool of blood forming around his unmoving body.
In a moment of panic, Lifty tossed the guitar he was still holding, watching as it harmlessly broke into pieces on the unfazed hero.
Deciding to chance it, the brothers held onto their bags and darted around Splendid, Shifty running past the hero's right while Lifty ran past his left.
For a second, Splendid looked from his right and left in confusion before setting on a determined expression and flying after the two. His blue eyes widened when he noticed how far away the two already were in just a few seconds.
He frowned, berating himself for forgetting how fast the twins were. His face brightened with a smile when he came up with an idea. Sucking in a long breath, the blue haired male quickly let it out in a strong wind that managed to destroy many things on the way to the two, carrying along sharp objects in the current.
Shifty and Lifty cried out in fear when they suddenly felt themselves lifted from the floor and blown forward. Both of them getting hit by various objects until they finally tumbled to a stop.
Lifty let out a sigh of relief when he felt himself finally roll to a stop, landing on his back, he slowly sat up and smiled to see he came out in one piece.
Only to feel himself forced back to the ground when something pierced his abdomen, bursting out his back to stab into the ground, pinning him to the floor. He let out an agonized scream when the pain suddenly hit him full force, his wide green eyes stared in horror at the thin pipe jutting out from his abdomen.
Lifting his shaking hands, Lifty wrapped them around the pipe and tried in vain to pull it out, a pained whimper escaped him as he wiggled the pipe around, feeling the rust from the metal scrape furiously against his insides, causing him to clench his teeth together to keep from letting out another ear piercing scream.
He gasped, smiling happily when he noticed his brother standing over him, looking down at him with a blank expression. "S-Shifty!" He coughed up some blood that trailed down the side of his face. "Pull this thing out of me." He pleaded weakly.
Shifty suddenly smirked, reached over to the pipe and wriggled it around roughly. Lifty's eyes widened, mouth dropping open in a silent scream, his hands grasping the pipe weakly to stop Shifty from moving it around, he vaguely noticed his back becoming warm and wet from the amount of blood he was losing.
Shifty let go of the pipe and crouched down to look at his helpless brother.
Lifty panted heavily and stared up at his brother in confusion and betrayal. "W-why?"
The older twin snickered and adjusted his fedora before reaching over and digging in his twin's pocket, pulling out a leather wallet and stuffing it into his bag. "Hey, it's either I save you or I take the bag of money and merchandise...and truthfully, I prefer the money."
Tears pricked the corner of Lifty's eyes as he watched his brother stand up and take his bag too, tossing them both over his shoulder to hold.
Shifty stared down at his twin with his usual troublemaking grin. "Don't worry, you'll just die and come back to life like always, then we can go rob another store." He sent Lifty a mock salute and took off snickering.
Lifty could only lay there weakly, a tear finally managing to escape his eye to trail down the side of his face, he stared at the beautiful sunny sky, letting out an occasional whimper.
Through his blurry vision, he could have sworn he saw a blue figure fly past him, hopefully going to get his brother and give him what he deserves for leaving his own flesh and blood like that.
His chest moved up and down rapidly as his body tried to desperately take in air with the amount of blood it was losing every second that passed, his eyes lowered a bit, black beginning to line the edges of his vision as his body began to numb the weaker it got.
Suddenly, the color red appeared above him, deliriously, he wondered if maybe his eyes were filling up with blood turning his vision red.
He barely felt the soft hand that gently touched his cheek. A gentle, panic laced voice bounced faintly around his throbbing head before he finally lost consciousness.
xXx
Yes, I'm sure the brother's love each other but I also noticed that they also have no problem ditching the other when it comes to money. I actually like Shifty/Flaky more but Lifty looks like he gets pushed around more since he's younger and seems like he would be the nicer twin that would get along with Flaky. xD
Anyways, thanks for reading! :D
