Lily's story next. This is more fun than I thought. There will be a lag in updates when I go back to school - for now I'm free to waste as much time as I wish :)
I'll do both of the stories you suggested, but I'll start with this one :)
Damian trolled. Jack camwhored. Zeo lurked. And Toby looked on amusement.
It was him who stumbled across the site, actually. He'd forgotten what he'd typed in but he saw the name Starbreaker in the summary and it looked interesting so he thought 'what-the-hell?'.
He decided to print out the story so he could read it to the others. He gathered them all in one room, much to their protests.
'Do you mind, Toby? I am freaking out here! My Apricot has run out and now and all I have to finish my piece is Henna! It doesn't even kind of match!' Jack moaned.
'Come on, loser! I was trying to make a worm explode using a magnifying glass! It was almost on fire and everything!' Damian complained.
'Toby? What's going on?' Zeo asked.
Toby just smiled and began to read.
" Why is it so hot?" Jack groaned, fanning himself with a newspaper.
'Is this a story you wrote? Do you write stories about us? Am I the main character? Is it because I'm just that fabulous? I'm flattered honey, but quite frankly I think it's a little odd...' Jack said.
'Like you can talk, clown boy! I've seen those pictures you painted of Tsubasa!' Damian scoffed.
'Hey! They're art!'
'And why is he naked?'
'It's perfectly tasteful, okay?!'
Toby interrupted them and continued reading.
God he was too perfect to sweat, why did the world even need hot weather? He would have to talk to Dr. Ziggurat to see about changing that when they ruled the world.
'That's correct; I am far too perfect to sweat!' Jack agreed.
Make like a big cooling satellite or something, Jack hardly cared providing it would work.
'I like this story.' The artist decided.
"It's not too bad." Zeo offered cheerfully, but not all too convincing. It was evident all of Team Star Breaker were feeling the heat's effect. Jack and Faust stripped from their jackets, Damian had removed his cape, and Zeo had taken his arms out of his sleeves and tied them around his waist. However, Damian and Faust were currently elsewhere in the household.
'Woah, guess I'm Faust in this story.' Toby thought.
"Well can you fix it?' Jack questioned, an agitated look on his face as he walked up behind Zeo, who was bent down examining thee building's main air conditioning system.
"Umm well…." Zeo paused, tilting his head to the side as he continued to observe the machine. "I don't know yet." He laughed sheepishly, rising back to his feet.
'You have no crossed the line into completely useless.' Jack smirked at Zeo.
'Look who's talking, clown boy!'
"Then I fear it will be the end of me." Jack moaned, leaning his hand on his forehead dramatically.
'Ha hah! Whoever wote this has Jack absolutely down!'
"It will be okay." Zeo told him assuringly while nodding his head.
This only proved to irritate Jack further. How could he remain so optimistic all the time? Even though it wasn't meant to be, Jack felt like he was mocking him. But that was okay. Jack knew just how to annoy him back.
'Oh great. He's going to talk about how brilliant he is.' Zeo moaned.
Toby, who had looked ahead, smiled. 'Not quite...'
He wrapped his arms around Zeo's hips and placed his head on his shoulder. "Know what might cheer me up instead?" He teased, enjoying the shade of deep red that crossed Zeo's face.
'What the? That's it - he no longer sleeps wo rooms down from me! I want a restraining order right now!'
'Don't flatter yourself,' Jack hissed. 'You're ertainly no Tsubasa...'
" Like what?" Zeo stammered, trying to pull away from his grip.
Before Jack could answer, both were surprised as another pair of hands wrapped around their waits, causing them to fall of balance and crash separately to the floor.
"Faust!" Zeo declared, clearly happy for the interruption.
'Oh FANTASTIC! Now those two are going to have one of their little gay moments!'
Toby and Zeo looked at each other.
'No homo?' Toby asked.
'No homo.' Zeo promied.
Jack growled, he never liked the center of attention off him. " Why did you come over?" He asked, annoyed with how angry he actually was that Faust interrupted. After all, he was only playing with Zeo, right? Or at least he tried to convince himself…
" I saw the motion you were doing and followed." Faust answered bleakly, no emotion detectable in his face.
'I forgot how emotionless Faust was. Weird...' Zeo said.
Jack rolled his eyes, he could forget how simple-minded Faust was sometimes.
'That too.'
"What's that?" Faust questioned, crawling over to Zeo to point at a red rag sticking out of his pocket.
" Oh this? It's a sweat rag." Zeo explained, pulling it out to show him.
Faust promptly grabbed it and held it up in front of him to further study it. " Should I have one?" He wondered a loud.
" If you want to help beat this dreadful heat. You won't need one if this stupid air conditioner will ever blow some cold air." Jack replied darkly, hanging his head in defeat.
Faust nodded simply, slipping Zeo's rag into his pocket, and stood up.
" That doesn't mean take mine." Zeo sighed in disbelief at him.
'Aww man! I was that bad, was I?' Toby asked.
'Not quite.' Zeo laughed.
Faust seemed to ignore Zeo's plea however and proceeded to point at the air conditioner. " This?" He asked them both.
" Yes." Jack told him as he and Zeo both now rose to their feet.
" Okay." Faust said as monotone as ever as he ripped his Beyblade into the air conditioning system, exploding it to pieces.
'Okay I have to admit... that seems exactly like what you'd do.' Zo said.
'When in doubt - spinning tops and explosions!' Toby cheered.
Jack and Zeo looked on helplessly at the smashed bits, looks of sheer devastation on both their faces. Zeo was left speechless but Jack had a lot to say.
" How could you?" He shrieked, all of their hopes had now been dashed. What might have been fixable was clearly not able to be any more-
'WHY AM I NOT IN THIS STORY?'
'Because no one cares about you, shrimp.'
'CAN IT, CLOWN BOY!'
" My orders were to destroy?" Faust questioned, showing only now a hint of confusion.
" Not yet." Jack groaned, tallying up the list of objects Faust had recently destroyed. A TV, a washing machine, a toaster and now the air conditioning system. Dr. Ziggurat had said Zeo's friend would emerge as an entirely new person, perfectly obedient and loyal. He didn't mention he'd also be brainless on everything except a few basic orders! [Or at least In Jack's mind]. He continued to glare at him angrily, although it seemed Faust didn't recognize so.
'I've decided I like Faust, by the way. Because Jack doesn't.' Toby grinned.
Instead, he walked off, seeing there was nothing left for him to do.
" Well nothing we can do now but clean up." Zeo laughed lightly, trying to ease some of Jack's tension.
" Yes you do that." Jack replied, distracted by his "glistening" skin that had caused some of his makeup to smear off. He headed to the upstairs bathroom to fix it. Jack was mortified by the fact there was a small smudge, so he decided to take a wet cloth to clean it all off so he could start over. After he wiped it all off he examined his face in the mirror and instantly turned around, crumbling to his knees. It wasn't his face that had startled him but the reflection of Damian he spotted, leaning against the bathroom door. Christ why did he have to appear now of all times when he didn't have his make up on?
'Some days are just a waste of perfectly good make up.' Jack sighed.
That seemed to be the last thing Damian was focused on however. " I saw what you were trying to do with Zeo. He's pathetic. We could always go back to my room, let's see if I can cheer you up." Damian spoke with a grin as he walked over to Jack and pressed his lips against his, also taking his hand to help lift him to his feet.
'EWW! PAEDOPHILIA!' Jack looked shocked.
'FUCK YOU! I'M SIXTEEN!
'Inches tall.' Zeo muttered.
" Well we'll just have to see." Jack purred back at him as the two exited from the bathroom.
'Ooh, kinky!' Zeo and Toby laughed. Jack and Damian stormed out of the room, leaving them to finish reading.
Zeo sighed, sweeping up the smashed bits. He liked how he was always stuck cleaning up everyone else's messes. He turned around surprised to see Faust had returned.
"I just learned how to do something new." Faust told Zeo, staring at him blankly.
" I like to learn new things, why don't you show me?" Zeo asked supportively, knowing it was probably something he had seen before but didn't care. He was just trying to be nice after all.
" Okay." Faust declared. And he kissed him.
Zeo and Toby stared at each other.
'...You promised me no homo.' Toby mumbled.
'Well, I didn't see that coming!'
'...As a matter of interest... did I... or Faust... try anything? ...Y'know?' Zeo stared at him.
'What? No, of course not!'
'Just... making sure... 'Cause y'know... if anything did happen it would be 100% Faust.' Toby nodded.
'Okay...' Zeo stared at him.
'Well... maybe 99%.'
'Huh?'
'Never mind. Let's go practice!' Toby exited the room, leaving a very confused Zeo behind him.
