Them Bicker Boys

Part 2

Disclaimer: Recently started watching season 4 last night and so far I'm enjoying it.

Summary: More bickering, more long suffering because of said bickering, but this time its not Sarah who's suffering.

"Buddy, come on!"

"No! I'm not listening!"

"You need too!"

"Well, I don't want too!"

"Chuck, this is serious stuff, man."

"You say that, but I just don't believe it."

Oh God… Why, WHY did they have to make up and become friends again? Moaned Ellie in her head as she unfortunately listened to her brother and Bryce Larkin bicker about something or other that may or may not involve Sarah.

For that matter, I thought Bryce was dead!? Or was that just some badly done joke?

Bryce glared at Chuck, who merely stuck his tongue out at the other man. "Sorry, but I'm strictly into women, bro."

"That's not what I heard."

"Again! That was Stacy lying because she was pissed with me!"

"Well… Sarah did happen to tell me a story once where she herself was under the impression about certain things where you and some guy were concerned." Chuck told him with a shrug.

Bryce gaped at him. "We… We were all drugged that night!"

"Hey, whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy. You know I'm not one to judge."

I wonder if I went into my room if I could escape the two of them? Then again… They might destroy something if I'm not there to keep an eye on them. Ellie thought to herself.

Feeling like she was a mother to two little boys instead of grown men. "Guys, for the love of… Well, my sanity, can you PLEASE stop the nonsensical arguing?"

"When Chuck actually listens and realizes just how serious what I'm trying to tell him is, the arguing will stop."

"I am listening, I'm just not willing to take you at your word. John Casey is NOT plotting your horrible demise." Argued back Chuck.

"I've seen him writing my name on bullets, man!" Seriously! Why can't his best buddy believe him on this!?

Chuck just stared at him in a doubtful manner. "Bryce, I think Casey has much more serious things to be doing with his time then doing that. Although if you want… We could have him look for Stacy and you two can finally patch things up?" Suggested the Nerdy man.

Hurriedly, Bryce shook his head in the negative! "Nuh-uh! No way, man! I ran into her about two years ago and she tried to put a knife in my groin!"

And for someone untrained, her near accuracy was scarily good! "Wow, Stacy knows how to hold a grudge." Mused Chuck somewhat amusedly as Ellie groaned.

A thought occurred to a certain Spy. "Have you been stirring the pot with her by any chance? Cause this would explain why she's still so mad with me."

"Who? Me? Never!" Replied Chuck and something about his tone didn't set too well with the other man.

"You… YOU HAVE!"

"Oh God…"

"I have not!"

"You have too!"

"Again, I have not!"

"I'm gonna kick your ass and make you confess! Then get you to believe me about Casey!"

"Bring it, Larkin! I still got years of pent up anger in me!"

"BOYS! DON'T YOU DARE START FIGHTING IN MY HOUSE!"

Unfortunately for Ellie, the two ignored her and started fighting with one another. Naturally, like last time, it mostly consisted of the two rolling around on the floor as they 'fought'. "I'M GONNA TELL STACY YOU'RE IN TOWN! HOW YA LIKE THEM APPLES, SON!?" Yelled Chuck.

"I HATE THOSE APPLES VERY MUCH, JERK!"

"UGH! I'M GOING OUT!" Yelled Ellie in dismay before she did something… Drastic, to the two.

Neither heard her thanks to how focused they were while over at Casey's place, the man could be seen smirking. "I knew letting him see me doing that with those bullets would screw with his head."

Sinister chuckling was heard from the big man before he focused back on his World War 2 documentary.
