Chapter 2: The Life We Live
Heya! Time to continue with a different story whilst my main one is in hiatus for a bit!
Sry if I kept you waiting T.T
Anyways, here's another chapter of 'Be At My Side'
Enjoy!
"Well, I guess that was a good impression." Andrew said as the limousine left.
"What kind of job did you get big brother?" One of his sisters asked.
"Well Amy, I get to be a butler for that family." Andrew replied, ruffling her mane.
"Aren't you already OUR butler?" The other joked as she stuck her tongue out.
"Hehe, I am mistress, Jackie."
The two girls giggled as Andrew nuzzled them both.
"Let's get back to the house, I'm cold."
The two sisters held Andrew's hands as they waddled back to their home.
The interior of the house wasn't better than the outside, despite how terrible it looked.
Dust had accumulated in unused rooms and spots around the wooden floor had eroded, leaving splintered holes that can harm someone.
The living room had barely any furniture, only having an overused sofa with it's stuffing spilling out and a Tv facing it. Broken, of course.
The kitchen was an absolute mess, dirt and grime coated the unwashed dishes, it was a haven for bacteria.
The sink was filled with emerald water, having a layer of algae on it due to the conveniently exposed roof. The contents of the water either had plates or any unlucky mouse that had drowned in it.
Only Arceus knows what atrocities were kept in the bathroom, as neither pokemon nor humans have ever visited it in such a long time.
The garden wasn't any better. It had grown into a miniature marsh, complete with shoulder-high bushes and puddles filled with disgusting liquids. It was completely littered with food cans, presumably thrown from the window high above the broken home.
The only 'clean' section of the house was the bedroom, due to it being used the most.
Everything in that room was theirs, and they didn't mind that it was the only place that they could live in.
It was rather small, but they grew accustomed to it.
There was a large bed to the side of the room, a desk was beside it. It was littered with drawings of Andrew's family, primarily his parents and him. Obviously they were drawn by his sisters.
To the opposite end of the room there was a mountain of cans that they have used, some were peaches, some beans, practically any canned food that you could name, it was there.
Below the bed there were a few toys, some were dolls and one was a small blue ball. Andrew's sisters continually play with it, pretending that it was an aura sphere when they threw it. In addition, a large stack of unopened cans were situated near the end of the bottom of the bed, varying to vegetables, to even packaged sausages.
Andrew and his sisters entered the room.
"I should really clean up the pile of cans at the end of the bedroom." Andrew said, whilst sighing.
"Let us do it, you've done so much already." Amy insisted.
"Awww, I don't wanna go cleaning duty!" Jackie groaned.
"If you do go cleaning duty, you can be on my chest when we go to bed." Andrew whispered.
Jackie's face lit up at Andrew's proposal.
She depended on her brother deeply ever since the incident, and one of the ways Andrew calmed her crying was when he hugged her. To her, she enjoyed his warmth pulsating through her body. That, and the way Andrew wraps his arms around her, as if he was a large blanket. It was usually the thing that Andrew would do to persuade her to do something or if she was upset. Over time she grew to love him deeply, like her sister has done aswell.
But Jackie wasn't the only one who loved his hugs.
"Hey! no fair! She always does that so you try to reward her!" Amy pouted.
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"If you two don't clear that pile then none of you get to be on my chest." Andrew closed his eyes and flicked his head away from them, whilst pouting himself.
The sisters hanged their head on the floor as they did his bidding.
Andrew hated seeing his sisters like this, but he couldn't do everything for them. They had to learn how to be responsible and just spoonfeeding them throughout their life was not the answer.
"If you two hurry up and finish dinner quickly...then we can have more time on the bed." Andrew smirked.
No matter what, the sisters always loved sleeping with their brother, and if it meant more time with Andrew, then they will do everything in their power to make it so.
Amy and Jackie's ears perked up at his words and efficiently threw the cans out the window at a whirlwind pace.
'Works every time.' Andrew thought.
Whilst the sisters decimated the pile, Andrew prepared their dinner.
It wasn't that fancy, just canned food, like always.
He got 2 cans of beans and sausages from below the bed.
"No veggies!" Jackie screamed as she threw cans out the window.
"Already ahead of you."
He pulled out a large bowl from the desk by the window, carefully dodging any stray cans that flew in an awkward direction.
The bowl was wooden and smooth, it was the only thing that his family ate from when they were little. Andrew's father would often bring food from the city or get the occasional Magikarp or two, before cooking them of course. Once his father returned, he would just drop any edibles into the bowl, and that would be their breakfast/lunch/dinner. Now that they were gone, Andrew had to carry on the tradition, which he happily did, as it was the only thing that reminded him of his father.
He grabbed several forks and spoons from the kitchen desk whilst opening the cans.
Firstly, he placed the beans in the bowl, making a soft 'plop' every once in a while when he hit the bottom of the can.
After he had finished placing the beans in the bowl, he opened the canned sausages.
They were covered in a yellow liquid, which Andrew initially thought of a urine. Fortunately, the shop owner told him that it was brine, something that helped to preserve the food in the can. He was skeptical at first, but enjoyed his first food in the past 5 days, as he had been starving himself to find food for just his sisters after his parent's disappearance.
He learned to adapt to whatever was contained in what he bought, and so did his sisters.
He stabbed the sausages with a fork and placed it in the bowl. He placed it so that they were vertically standing in the beans, their lower half inside them, whilst the top half was visibly seen from the sea of orange. There were six sausages in total, which meant 2 for each of them.
He finished preparing the food just when Amy threw the last can out of the window.
Jackie turned around to see the feast in her eyes.
"Mmmmm...sausage..my faaaaavorite." Her eyes were half-lidded and her tongue lolled out, all the while drooling at the same time.
"Nice job presenting our dinner." Amy giggled.
Andrew and his siblings sat on the ground, forming a triangle. He handed out their spoons and forks as they prepared to eat.
"ITADAKIMASU" The trio bowed whilst sitting down. After that, they scarfed down their meal.
"Mmmmmmm delish." Jackie said as she rubbed her belly.
"Can we have that tomorrow?" Amy pleaded, immediately after she said that, she burped, loudly.
"Hehe, alright. Jackie, clean up duty."
"Awwwwwww."
Andrew deadpanned at her.
"Do you really want Amy to have me all by herself?"
Like a flash, Jackie effortlessly threw the sauce-covered bowl into the 'sink' that they used, along with their utensils.
Immediately, the plastic 'sink' bowl's water that they used turned from clear to orange as the wooden bowl sunk to the bottom.
"Bedtime!" Amy screamed.
Andrew got on to the bed and placed himself in the middle
Jackie hopped onto his chest before Amy could.
"Mine." She stuck her tongue out.
"Be nice and share." Andrew admonished her.
Jackie's ears fell as she tried her puppy-dog eyes on him.
"B-b-b-but she had it last time." Her ruby eyes locked with his as her mouth quivered a little, as if she was ready to bawl at any minute.
It always worked.
"Fine." Andrew sighed. Immediately, Jackie's face returned to normal as she gave a slight smirk to Amy.
Amy climbed onto the bed, positioning herself to Andrew's side.
Andrew wrapped his right arm around Amy, snaking across her petite body as he drew her closer to him.
Jackie wrapped her arms around Andrew's sides as she pressed herself onto his chest, her tail wagged furiously the whole time.
She felt the lumps of muscle on his toned chest. Her fur tingled everytime she felt him, and the raging warmth that emanated from Andrew was almost powerful enough to lull her to sleep.
Andrew got his left arm and placed his hands on her back, caressing her fur.
Jackie moaned slightly and nuzzled the side of her face on his bare chest as he continued his actions. She let her body take control as she melted within his embrace.
Not wanting to feel left out, Amy nuzzled Andrew's side as he did the same to her.
"Goodnight my little princesses." Andrew gave a good night kiss to each of their foreheads before bringing them as close as he could.
"Love you."
"Love you big brother."
The two sisters purred in their sleep as the dream world snatches them away to meet their parents again.
"Why did you have to choose him! Of all pokemon!"
"Why are you acting like this? I'm just helping another pokemon that needs a job to stay alive!"
"Why can't you just pick a human? What if this 'Andrew' isn't what we think he is? huh?"
"So you're saying that those two Riolu's are just faking all that dirt on their fur?"
"Well... What about the Lucario? why isn't he so dirty?"
"Because he's the one who has to be clean for jobs he has to do you dunce!"
"..."
"You've never done a single thing without asking someone else to do it for you, so obviously you wouldn't know how it is to work every day!"
Harold Blaze and his daughter were bickering over Andrew, and it seemed that Harold was winning.
"I'm gonna force him out of this! One way or another!"
"Is this because you still haven't gotten over your break-up with that other Lucario? Is this the reason?"
"..."
"Of course it is! Ever since he dumped you, you've been driving away every male pokemon that comes close to us. He's just a butler Sarah!"
"..."
Sarah glared daggers at him, unable to make a retort.
She couldn't reply because he was right.
It was all true.
Ever since her boyfriend Vince dumped her, despite trying to force her to have sex with him, she became anti-social to every male that even looked at her in a different way.
She felt alone, insecure.
And she wasn't gonna let another 'Vince' come by so easily.
"I'll get rid of you...No matter what it takes."
And that's chapter 2 finished!
Will Sarah ever get over her break-up?
Maybe, I don't know,
OR DO I?
Also,
Amy and Jackie have a brother complex...niiice...
ANYWAYS
Number 3 already halfway done, but you'll have to wait till tomorrow!
