The next day when Mercury woke up, he got out of bed, looked at the calender, and realized that it was the last day of Summer vacation.
'After today, there's going to another 180 days of ignorent child-like beings, pressure, and humiliation. Great,' he thought, 'Oh well, I'll still have my brother.' he smiled as he looked at his sleeping twin.
Mercury felt so lucky to be able to have Moon as a brother, he viewed him to be perfect in every way. Besides his addiction to sex.
Mercury went downstairs and started to make breakfast for the two of them. Moon woke up from the smell of blueberry pancakes, eggs, and Moon's favorite, bacon. Moon put on a t-shirt and took Mercury down his favorite way over sized sweater that he wore around the house all the time, no matter what the weather was.
Moon sat down at the kitchen table as Mercury brought the food to him.
"This looks really good." Moon said as he handed Mercury the sweater.
"Thanks." Mercury smiled and put on the oversized comfortable gray sweater.
"You know," Mercury began, "Tomarow's the first day of school. We still haven't gotten school supplys."
"Kay. We can go right when we're done eating."
'God, I fucking love him...' Mercury and Moon both thought at the same time.
Moon filled himself with the food Mercury made him, while Mercury simply ate a banana.
When Moon finished, they both got jeans on, changed thier shirts, did their hair, then walked to the store.
"And remember, Moon. We aren't just here for markers and stickers. We have to get school stuff." Mercury said.
Moon already had 6 boxes of markers and 8 different rolls of stickers picked out, and he looked happy as could be, fasinated by the colors.
Mercury sighed at his twin's utter stupidity as he went to pick out 2 binders, 2 calculaters, and a shit load of pens, pencils, sharpeners, folders, and white-out.
Moon and Mercury payed the person at the counter.
"I bet you can't beat me home!" Moon challenged Mercury.
"I know I can't. I'm carrying all the bags so you could easily beat me."
Despite Mercury's response, Moon still started to run home.
'I swear, that boy is too stubborn.' Mercury thought as he almost chuckled. He walked at his normal fast pase.
"Ha ha!" Mercury herd Moon yell from a distance, "You're so far behind!"
"If you want it too be fare, then come back and take half of the bags so I have a chance!"
Moon came running back, "Kay." He simply said as he took 2 of the bags, but before he could turn back around, Mercury had already started running as fast as he could.
"Sucker!" He yelled with a smile.
"You cheater!" Moon yelled back and started to catch up with Mercury.
Moon was stronger and faster then Mercury, and so it didn't take long for him to get past him again. Mercury didn't want to win anymore, so he hopped on his brother's back, and Moon gave Mercury a ride home.
When they got home, Mitsuki was crying, and their father was looking at a document.
"Moon, Mercury, I need to speak with you both." Their father.
"Okay..." They both were scared as they sat next to thier dad.
"Someone desided that you both belong to your mother now. I am only responsible for Mina. Tomarow, you will be taken to live with your mom."
"What? Why?" they both said in perfect unisen.
"I'm not sure... But no matter what, you both need to know that you two and your sister are my life, so if something happens, let me know."
They stayed silent.
"I don't want you to leave..." Mitzuki kept crying, "I love you.. Both of you... And I always will..." The cute little 7 year old hugged her brothers.
"They need to go pack, Mitsuki." said their father.
Mina let go of them and they went upstairs.
Moon and Mercury layed on thier bed.
"All of our friends.." Mercury started.
"And great nights.." Moon added.
"And good memories.." Mercury said.
"Are gone..." they ended at the same time.
They started to pack. Taking clothes, necklaces,
bracelets, shoes, socks, pictures, almost everything. Exept for the butterfly collection Mercury had. He had been fastenated by the simple creatures for years, he caught some, breaking the wings off of them and pinning them under glass to be stared at. He was leaving that for Mitzuki. Mercury never really had much of a heart. He was smart, and seemingly emotionless everywhere he went. He hardly talked, exept for around his brother.
The rest of their day was spent with Mitzuki and their father.
Mitzuki, Moon and Mercury played soccer, trying to feel happy together.
They all went to Mercury's favorite place, the natural rocks he called the King and Queen seats. It was a place surrunded by green, pure green, most of which you had to look down to see, because of how incredibly high up you were. You were so high up, that if you fell, there would be no possible way you could survive. But as you would fall for that minute that seemed to last forever, you'd be dieing in the most beautiful place in the world, and you'd die with a smile. Or at least Mercury would. Plus, a few steps away from there was the cliff. The cliff's view was utterly spectacular. It had the pure green of the "seats" but it had a blue rushing river far far below, and across from the cliff, there was something formed into the side of the wall of rock that looked ancient. It was deadly to walk out to either place, if you slipped on the cliff you fell, if climbed the wrong way on the "seats", you'll be trapped, but Mercury took the risk to see the beauty.
When they got there, Mercury climbed to the "seats" then helped the others up. He looked at the green, then showed the others how to get down, then he made his way to the edge of the cliff, sitting, so his legs would dangle. He felt completely relaxed and at peace in this place, as if being there took all of his pain away, and for a while, it did.
Mercury stayed there for hours as people came and went, and the rest of his family explored the trails and ate the packed lunch Mercury made. They were smart enough to leave him alone. He needed time to let go of his feelings from time to time. Sometimes that time was a few minutes, sometimes in was a couple of hours, and sometimes he sat there until after dusk. That day ended up being one that lasted until after dusk.
Moon and the others sat on the seats and silently watched Mercury think until 7 o'clock, then Moon suggested that they both went back home. He wanted to stay with Mercury and besides, he knew the way back.
They left, and Moon made his way to Mercury. It wasn't anywhere near being as easy as Mercury made it look.
"I love you." Moon hugged Mercury.
They stayed like that for two hours.
"Moon," Mercury started.
"Yes?"
"We should kill ourselves, while we're just like this. I've been thinking for a long time and I think that's what we should do..."
"That's what you were thinking about this whole time?"
"Yeah."
"I'm not killing myself just because we have to go live with mom."
"Fine.."
It started to rain so the twins got up and left the beautiful place, headed for their last night at home.
When they got home, their aunt was already their to come get them.
"Why are you here so early?" Moon asked.
"Your mother wanted me to come get you right away." their Aunt Amber told them.
The twins turned to look into the dining room and saw their father covering his face, crying.
"What are you waiting for? Go get your stuff." she patted them on the back as they went upstairs.
'Fuck my life. Fuck it hard. I hate this fucking fucked up world.' Moon thought to himself. He grabbed a knife and shuved it in his suit case. 'If one more thing goes wrong in my life, I'm going to slit my throat.' he continued. He didn't realize that Mercury stuffed a gun in his own suit case as he thought the same thing.
They went into Mitsuki's room and gave the sleeping girl a kiss on the forehead then walked downstairs.
They both hugged their dad and told him that they loved him before they got in the car.
They drove for a bit, then finaly arived at a hotel near the airport.
"Why are we here?" Moon asked.
"You don't know? You're mother doesn't live in Japan. She lives in the USA now." their aunt answered.
"What?" Moon yelled.
"We have to take a plane tomarow?" Mercury continued.
"Yeah. I thought you knew."
The twins both sighed and laid on the bed. They tossed and turned for a bit, then fell asleep.
When they woke up, they got showers, got dressed, and went to the airport to get on the plane that they were almost late for.
Niether of the twins said a word during the whole day.
The final plane ride going from England to NewYork, NewYork, seemed to be the longest, even though it was the shortest distance.
They had to drive a while to get to their mother's small house in the middle of the crowded city.
When they got there, Mercury knocked on the door of the house and their mom answered by hugging both of her sons.
"Moon! Mercury! I haven't seen you in so long! I missed you both so much!" she anounced.
Two pretty looking girls who were sitting on the couch looked at Moon and Mercury as they walked in.
"I'm Angela, and this is Tyler." one of them said.
Their mothers kept an eye on Moon and Mercury.
"We both live on this street and your mother wanted you two to meet us." the other said, not knowing what to talk about.
Their mother had devorced Moon and Mercury's dad before Moon was openly bisexual and Mercury was openly gay.
But despite that, Moon had started to think Angela was hot. She was. She had long blonde hair, bright green eyes, and a great body. Moon couldn't help but stare at her tits.
Tyler started to like Mercury. He was silent, and she thought he was hot, but something made him different then his brother. They were both really hot, but Moon always had a glare in his eye, and that's what differed him from his identical twin.
Instead of a glare, Mercury had more of an inocent look. That's what Tyler liked.
Moon didn't say a word the whole time, partly because English wasn't his first language, but mostly because all he could think of was Angela's boobs.
Mercury never said anything because he was timid, even though he could perfectly speak and understand English.
After about 5 minutes of wierd silence, their mother popped in, "Moon and Mercury really need to get settled in. It might be best if you continue later."
"Okay Ms. Ginjiro. Bye." Tyler said.
"Yeah, Bye." Angela continued.
"Sayōnara!" the twins said in sync with a smile.
They both looked back in confusion.
Mercury walked over to them and explained, "Sorry. We aren't really that used to speaking English yet. Sayōnara meens 'Goodbye' in Japanese."
"Its perfectly fine, we understand now." Tyler said with a smile and blushing as Angela had to pull her out of the doorway.
Moon shut it behind them and they started unpacking.
The house wasn't big by any means, it was just liveable for 3 people. There was a kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and an attic. Mercury liked it, but the only reason Moon liked is that their bedroom was as far from their mother's as it could be, her's was on the bottom floor to the right, and their's was on the top to the left. This gave Moon the confidence to plan how he was going to get inside his brother that night. Even if Mercury didn't want it, Moon just couldn't hold back any longer.
