Anthony was sitting in the vanity room. He was wearing a hot pink tuxedo and white glows. He took two to apply some mascara on his left eye.
- I can belive you wearing make-up on your wedding day, you fag.
He heard a familiar voice.
- Niss! - Spider smiled slightly. Despite all their history, it was nice to see his brother on a day like this. - I thought you wouldn't come.
- Yeah, no such luck, baby bro. - He patted his hair a bit.
- Hey, I just finished my hair! - Angel Dust pretended to be angry.
- Well, you looked like a pussy anyway. You can thank me for that.
- Yeah, right. - Anthony adjusted his bangs a bit with a comb. - Can you hand me black nail polish? The one with glitter.
- Why do you need nail polish if you are wearing glows anyway? - Arachniss notice.
- That's why I'm the fashionable one of the family, my dear brother.
- You and Molly. I wonder how she's doing?
- Better than us, no doubt. I wish she could be here today, but I'm glad she's not.
Both brothers become nostalgic for a moment.
- I have a little gift for you. - Black spider pulled a present bag with a bottle of wine with it. - It's from dad.
Anthony growled.
- I hope he didn't come with you?
- No, you forbid him, remember? But this is still our father, you should at least take it. It's not like any of us are good people here.
The taller spider hesitated but took it.
- Maybe. But it doesn't mean I want to see him again. - He answered coldly.
- Understandable. - Niss sat down on a chair behind Anthony, while he was doing his right eye. - But ya know, he won't leave you alone now you're getting married? He has an obsession with getting grandchildren.
- Then you get him one. - Tony stated and looked into the mirror to see if he applied more makeup. To his surprise his brother chuckled a bit.
- Tony, what do you think why our family just died out after us two?
- How do I know? I was dead.
- Let's just say, when you were only half a man in our dad's eyes, I never was a man at all.
- What are ya trying to say?
- He is so focused on you, cause I can't have children. Never could. - He shook his head.
- I… sorry. - Anthony opened his eyes. If he was his "favorite" then he could only imagine how it was to be the "worst" son.
- Don't be. - Arachniss started with a somewhat sad tone in his voice. - It was a long time ago, after all.
In his eyes was something Anthony barely, if ever saw in years - concern.
- But… I just don't get what this "Radio Demon" promised you, to make a step like this? Or… is he theratning you?
"Whoa, whoa, was that time for a big brother talk?" - Anthony thought.
- You always said you left to be yourself, so I wasn't trying to find you, before it was too late, and now you are doing something exactly against what you were preaching to me.
- Maybe I just fell in love?
- Sure, hope you're not lying… - He looked directly in his eyes. Very uncomfortably - I already let you ruin your life once. But this time you can't even kill yourself.
- Oh, that's rich! - This conversation was going bad. - I'm adult enough to make my own decision.
Niss sigh.
- You know, you said the same thing when you ran away, and then we found you dead after you overdosed in some gay brothel. - He stood out and turned his back to his younger brother. - But… weird thing is… I was jealous… for you this was the end of that nightmare, but me and Moll's were left there. You have no idea how hard it was…
Anthony was tense. Niss was getting so honest, but he knew he must lie.
- Daria is special, you see. - he dishonestly reassured. - She was my friend, before she became my lover. It's true I like guys, you know I do, but there's more to love than just sex. If you were a prostitute for so long, you would seek something more than a good blowjob too.
- You and relationship that is more then just sex? Is that me, or you finally grown up? - Black spider smiled slightly.
"If anything, I'm acting like a lost child…" - Anthony thought.
- I think Daria has a good impact on me. - He answered instead.
Arachniss relaxed a bit. He had a worried, but warm expression in his eyes now. He was fooled. But it didn't make Anthony feel any better.
- Niss…! - He called when his brother was already ready to leave the room.
- Yes?
- You see… We were in a hurry so I don't have a best man…
Anthony stood up and hugged his brother. Funny how he was so tiny, back when they last hugged he was a small kid, and Niss was his strong, big brother. And Molly was there. Oh, how things change…
- Tony? - He heard his brother's voice.
- Mhm?
- Did you happen to give my phone number to a pimp? - He asked suddenly.
- Yeah, why?
- I swear, I'm gonna shave my gun into your butthole one day, you little shit.
