"HIGHWAY!" Fenrys' scream rang in Rowan's ears, causing him to grind his teeth as the Bentley merged into the highway.
"Wooooo!" Fenrys rolled down the window, the cold wind whipping at his face. He laughed.
"Fenrys, close the window." Rowan ordered. Fenrys screamed, "NEVERRR!" Before neither Aelin nor Rowan could do anything, Fenrys stuck his head out of the window. Unsurprisingly, the wind ripped his beanie straight off if his head. Fenrys jolted back into the safety of the car.
"Shit." He stated blankly as his hand jumped to his ruffled, bare golden hair. Rowan groaned as Aelin stifled a chuckle.
"NOOOOOO!" Fenrys exclaimed as he stared longingly out of the window, back to where his beanie had disappeared beyond the horizon. "THAT WAS A DESIGNER BEANIEEEE!" He screeched, dragging his fingers along his face.
"What was it, Gucci?" Aelin resisted the urge to laugh aloud. "Oh, calamity!" Fenrys continued to complain. But then his eyes lit up. Grinning broadly, Fenrys grabbed Rowan's beanie from the pocket of the seat.
"Oh no..." Rowan glowered. There was nothing that could be done as Fenrys slipped on the second hat and rolled down the window on the opposite side of the car.
"Fenrys." Aelin looked back at him and narrowed her eyes warningly, albeit struggling not to laugh, "Fenrys. No. Don't-" Fenrys didn't listen. He stuck his head out of the second window. And surprise, surprise! Rowan's beanie was torn off of Fenrys' head as well. Completely baffled, he sat back.
"You goddamn idiot! You lost my beanie too?!" Rowan roared glaring at him through the driver's mirror. "By the wyrd, you're so annoying." He glowered. Fenrys laughed sheepishly, before asking, "Will you put on the radio, pleaaaaaaseee~?"
"No." Rowan blatantly refused as Aelin watched the exchange, majorly amused. "Okay, then I'll just sing!" Fenrys exclaimed giddily, and started belting out lyrics before Rowan could complain.
"BIIRRRD FLYING HIIIIGH! YOU KNOW HOW I FEEEEL!"
"Shut UP!" Rowan roared, jerking the steering wheel to the side, causing Fenrys to go sprawling against the inside of the car door. Of course he hadn't buckled. "We need to find a way to distract him" Aelin huffed through fits of laughter, grasping the handle of the door in an attempt to steady herself.
Rowan nodded as his eyes lit up in realization. Careful not to crash, he tugged his phone out of his pocket and handed it to Aelin, keeping his eyes on the road. "Go to contacts. Facetime Connall: C-O-N-N-A-L-L." She unlocked the phone with fingerprint recognition - having saved her fingerprint the day prior, much to Rowan's dismay - and chuckled as she heard Fenrys gasp from the backseat.
"CONNALL?!" He screamed but was shushed by Rowan. Aelin scrolled through the contacts as she asked, "Who's this Connall person?"
"You'll see" was Rowan's simple response and Aelin groaned. Nonetheless, she pressed the button to facetime the contact.
It rang once.
Twice.
"Hello Rowa-"
Aelin blinked at the man on the phone screen who was staring at her blankly. "Jesus mother of god, you look just like Fenrys." She gawked.
It was true. Their faces were identical, save for this man's straight, untouched hair, unlike Fenrys' wild bleached head of locks. Either way, both were painstakingly beautiful.
"Who are you, woman?" Connall simply asked. Rowan resisted the urge to chuckle, and to his surprise, Fenrys remained silent, seemingly waiting for something interesting to happen. And to her credit, Aelin did not disappoint.
"Did you just assume my gender?" She demanded, putting up a good act as to being enraged, "For your information, man, I sexually identify as an attack helicopter." A filled moment of tense silence was followed by Rowan and Fenrys roaring laughter as Connall's expression of confusion turned into one of utter annoyance.
"Fenrys, Rowan, you bastards." He seethed, having recognized their obnoxious laughter. Aelin chuckled.
"Fireheart~" Rowan sung, obviously pleased by Connall's rage, "Let me talk to my brother." Aelin obliged, switching the video to back camera and pointing it at him.
"Rowan! Thank the gods. Who is that woman- or.. attack helicopter? I dunno. And how is Fenrys?" Connall asked.
"That attack helicopter is Aelin Ashryver Galanthynius. My girlfriend." Rowan answered and stifled a chuckle as Connall's eyes widened. "And Fenrys is the very reason I called you. We're having a few... issues." Rowan explained.
Hearing the filled silence, he simply sighed and continued, "Aelin, give Fenrys the phone. I'm sure he'll be pleased to finally see his twin brother again."
"Okay." She responded and heard Connall mumbled something incoherently from across the screen. She handed the phone to Fenrys, who took it with glee.
"CONNALL, MY DEAREST BROTHER! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN HOLDING UP?" Ferns yelled, holding the phone unnecessarily close to his face. Connall groaned at his stupidity.
"Maeve's being Maeve, but I'm scheduled to move out in a few weeks time, so that's to look forward too." Connall answered before chuckling lowly, "But this is amusing. for the first time ever, I must say, you look absolutely hideous."
Ferns gasped, clenching the icepack he was holding to his cheek as he screeched; "Well joke's on you bishh. WE LOOK THE SAME."
Rowan and Aelin barked a laugh from the front seats and Connall snorted; "In the contrary: My hair does not look like a chunk of cheese vomited on my head."
"I'm TrIgGeReD!" Ferns yelled and Aelin erupted into uncontrollable hysterics, stating through heaved breaths; "I don't think this is working as an 'distraction', much less to calm him down." Rowan's only response was a curt nod of the head as he chuckled.
"but CONNY!" Fenrys yelled, and Connall muttered, "Don't call me that." But ultimately, he was ignored. "You're smart, right?!"
"Yes." A blatant answer. Fenrys grinned broadly, showing off his bloody gums. Connall cringed.
"Okay, but serious question:" Fenrys stated, his gaze narrowing to one nothing short of intimidating, "Why is 11 pronounced 'eleven' and not 'onety-one'?"
"Goddamnit Fen. Could you not?" Connall groaned as the addressed silently awaited an answer.
"I'm hanging up now."
"WAIT, CONNY, NO-"
Beep. Beep. Beep.
"You bastard." Fenrys growled, glaring down Rowan's phone, where now there was only a blank screen to look at. It must've been in the heat of the moment, completely enraged, but Fenrys rolled down the window and chucked the phone out.
...
"Fenrys." Rowan's growl was enough to make anything and anyone in his wake tremble in fear. Aeolian had fallen silent. Fenrys had fallen silent.
"Shit."
"You know, it would've been much easier to do this in the first place." Aelin muttered as she dusted off her hands on her jeans, swinging the passenger side door open again.
Rowan nodded, smiling smugly as he slumped back into the driver's seat. Fenrys sat in the back, hands and feet minded by duct tape, not to mention the piece of tape covering his mouth. He sat still, glaring daggers at Rowan who revved the motor.
"You know what they say... Silence is gold. But duct tape is silver." Aelin winked at Rowan who chuckled as his cheeks flushed, barely noticeable.
Rowan looked back at Fenrys as he pulled out of the gas station parking lot and said, "By the way, Fenrys, this car," he gestured to the Bentley, "is mine now." Fenrys' eyes widened in shock, but he was unable to do anything as Rowan grinned maliciously, "You don't object? Good."
"Now let's go home."
A/N: I'm so sorry. I posted a review on the last chapter, like I said I would, informing you guys why I didn't upload last week. But here's the gist of it: I had a terrible cold through out the entire week - which still hasn't cured :'(I'm suffering)- and AGAIN my parents decided to go on a weekend trip (Friday afternoon until Sunday evening) WITHOUT TELLING ME BEFOREHAND! I know, the chapter's short and kinda shitty, but I'm doing my best here.
I received he request to cut down on the swear words, and if that's what you guys want, I will, but not for Fenrys right now, because you don't really have a filter when you have your wisdom teeth removed, but other than that, I'll calm down with the cussing.
I was really exited to add Connall and he will be showing up again, because, I mean, he's amazing.
Hope you enjoyed this piece of shit chapter that's not even 1'500 words. Please review? Ja ne.
