Repo! The Genetic Opera
-Luigi hates unicorns and Pavi does not.-
·Vignette·
Pavi, holding a large unicorn in his arms, climbed onto the couch his older brother sat upon.
Luigi looked away from his magazine and glared at Pavi's happy, stuttering form. "That fucking unicorn…" he growled. Pavi looked at Luigi with wide eyes.
"W-what do y-you mean, L-Luigi?" While talking his face went red with embarrassment. Pavi curled the unicorn closer to his chest.
Luigi slamed his magazine shut and tossed it in the side tables general direction. "G-get the f-fucking uni-unicorn away from m-me!" He mocked nastily.
Pavi whimpered and hugged the unicorn tightly. Luigi's mouth twisted.
Luigi stared intently at Pavi. Sensing his weakness for unicorns, Luigi wrenched forward. Pavi put up little fight as Luigi wrestled the unicorn away from him.
Luigi brought the soft toy to his chest and jutted out his bottom lip. "Do you want it back?"
Wordlessly, Pavi nodded. He held out his hands, near tears. "P-please, Luigi?"
Luigi simply laughed and tossed the unicorn toward the fireplace. It hit the marble but landed in the flames.
Pavi stared at the fire. Slowly, he began to cry, hands clawing at his chest. He attempted to say things but they were lost. Luigi felt a short bit guilty.
"Go ask Pop to get you another," he said, trying to be gentle. Luigi was not good at gentle.
Pavi managed a nod.
Then, quickly, Luigi reached out and hugged his brother. He pulled away seconds later.
