Was he cursed today? Or was he just grumpy due to sleep deprivation and Earl Grey deprivation?
When he returned home, he realized that he was late for a family commitment. Right, now his Mother would be out for his blood; though when she wasn't seeking to destroy all of humanity with her terrible cooking, she was a reasonable woman. Q's Father was rarely seen, he spent most of his time in the study listening to his old fashioned radio. Q was nothing like the man, who constantly complained that technology was a bad thing, that the 'interwhatsit' was causing youngsters to run rampant in the streets.
The time was 10 o'clock, perhaps he'd be lucky enough to avoid exchanging fake pleasantries with his sister's thick boyfriend. Honestly, the thought that his sister found that gorilla attractive would forever baffle him.
Q quickly changed into a new set of clothes, which were similar to the first. He always dressed in smart attire- 'Geek sheek' as his sister would put it. Of course, he'd instantly googled the term. He glanced in the mirror, and took a few deep breaths, mentally preparing himself for a family affair.
By the time he'd left the house and arrived at his parents' home, it was half past 10. Q fruitlessly tried to seem sorry, but the apology passed his lips with smugness. He turned to his Mother, a short woman, but she wasn't any less threatening just because he towered over her.
"Mother, I have a good explanation- Ow! What was that for?" Q was cut off, his Mother smacking him roughly on the head. His sister, Elenor, was perched at the dinner table with a glass of red wine in her hand. He whined childishly, narrowing his eyes when he heard his sister's trademark giggle.
"You don't have time to be watching me...keep an eye on that gorilla of yours, he could be swinging off of the chandeliers by now..." He mumbled softly, smirking once he realised his sister had indeed caught the comment.
Elenor glared, laughing fakely and bitterly. "And where was your girlfriend, exactly?"
"Non-existent, but If I did have a girlfriend, at least she'd of evolved properly. Your romantically involved with the missing link." He commented, rising to pour himself a glass of water. He was not a drinker, goodness knows what he could be like when drunk.
Elenor gasped, letting out an irritated squeal. "You've gone too far this time!"
Q drummed his fingers idly against the table, setting his glass down. "But I have to give you some credit, dear sister of mine. I've heard you taught him how to count, 1-5 was it? Well done. And one day, he'll learn to walk upright."
His sister hissed a string of curses, calling her boyfriend into the room. Ah. It seemed 'the gorilla' had heard the entire conversation. He also seemed far more intimidating than Q last remembered. A fight took place, if it could be described as a fight. Q threw a few weak punches, and received a nasty black eye. The man fought mammoths, how could he ever stand a chance?
By the time he got home, his family network was buzzing, and he was getting humiliating texts and phone calls from distant relatives. Q loosely pulled his tie down his neck, flopping limply on the mattress, sighing dramatically. Despite the terrible throbbing sensation in his left eye, he managed to drift off to sleep.
Not a good day.
