"Quinton's not afraid of anything," Trey declared one Halloween afternoon. He and Quattro sat together in the living room. Trey had just brought out some tea and was now sitting in the chair next to the window, reading a book, and Quattro was lounging on the couch, reoraganizing his deck.
"Please," the older Arclight snorted. "Everyone's afraid of something, even Quinton. And I'll bet you that I can find out what it is before you, pipsqueak."
Trey frowned. Quattro had taken to calling him that a lot lately.
"Fine, you've got yourself a bet," the pinknette shot back, hoping to put his older brother in his place.
"Alright then," his sadistic older brother grinned. "Loser has to watch cartoons with Vetrix for a week and braid part of their hair like Vetrix for a whole day."
"Deal," Trey nodded.
The two brothers smirked at each other and shook hands.
...
Trey snickered as he placed a skeleton mask over his face.
"Quinton, could you please come here for a moment?" he called.
"I'll be right there," came the eldest brother's reply.
A few seconds later, the door to Vetrix's lair opened and closed.
Quinton walked down the hall.
Right as he came up to Trey's room, the pink-haired teen leaped out with a terrifying growl.
Quinton blinked and stared blankly at his brother.
"Aw come on!" Trey exclaimed, pulling off the mask. "How can you not be scared of this?"
"Look at our father, Trey," the silver-haired twenty-year-old answered. "Nothing scares me anymore."
...
Quattro smirked at his brother's pitiful attempt to scare their older brother. He would show how it was done.
The red-and-yellow-haired teen went to his brother's room and hid under the bed. When Quinton came in, he would hear noises coming from beneath the bed and that would surely frighten him.
The door opened and Quinton entered the room.
Before Quattro could set his plan into motion, his brother kicked off his shoes and threw them under the bed.
"OW! Damn!" Quattro cried out as one of the shoes hit him in the right cheek.
"Quattro?" the sheets were pulled up to reveal a surprised and somewhat irritated Quinton. "What are you doing under there?"
"I was...looking for my Gimmick Puppet Nightmare," his brother answered.
"And you thought it would be in here?" Quinton raised his eyebrows.
"You never know," was Quattro's reply as he crawled out from under the bed.
...
"I can't believe this," Quattro growled. "All day long we've tried. But nothing works."
"Maybe he's just not scared of anything," Trey said. "I told you."
"Oh, stop rubbing it in," his older brother snapped.
Trey laughed softly before turning to go to the kitchen to get a snack. Unfortunately, the youngest Arclight brother didn't see the napkin on the floor.
"Trey!" Quinton had come into the room just in time to see his youngest brother hit the floor.
The silvernette hurried over.
"Are you alright?" he asked, kneeling beside Trey.
"Yeah," the fifteen-year-old duelist answered. "I think I'm alright."
...
"Be careful next time," Quinton said, looking down at Trey, who was now sitting in the chair once again. "You really had me actually scared, for once."
"I'll be careful, brother," Trey replied with a soft smile.
Quinton nodded before returning to Vetrix's side to once again discuss their plan, the plan they still had not informed either Trey or Quattro.
"Did you hear that?" Trey asked, turning to Quattro. "He said he was scared."
"Yeah, yeah, I was there," Quattro snapped.
Suddenly it hit him...
"No. Oh no, that was an accident," he insisted. "That doesn't count."
"The bet was whoever could find out what could scare him," Trey said. "And I found out it was one of us getting hurt. So technically I win."
Quattro continued to protest for another twenty minutes before sighing and reluctantly conceding to Trey's point.
...
"Quattro, why is your hair-" Quinton began.
"Finish that sentence and I hack all of your hair off," was the only thing he got in response.
...
...
So, how was it? Let me know.
