*Everyone's sitting in the room, staring at Phi*
Phi: *looks up* …Will you guys knock it off?
Hyde: *leaning back in chair* Not their fault you're scary.
Phi: …I'm scary? When was the last time you looked in the mirror?!
Hyde: *shrugs* I may be creepy, but at least, unlike you, I'm likable.
Phi: *scoffs* You're unbearable.
Me: *to the twins* GUYS. Shush, cuz I've got a question for you two
Hyde: *rubbing hands together excitedly* Alriiight! What is it? C'mon! Go. Shoot.
Phi: You do realize you just said, "Go Shoot," right?
Hyde: *while staring at me eagerly; slaps palm onto Phi's face* Hush.
Phi: Ow.
Me: So. Phi and Hyde. What's your least favorite thing about each other?
Hyde: Oh, man. I could go on forever. First of all, Phi's stuck up, he's greedy, he's always trying to outdo me in everything—
Phi: *interrupts* I don't have to try. It comes naturally.
Hyde: AHEM. As I was saying… He also ABANDONED ME at Dread Tower. Totally just walked away, saying that I bore him. I mean, this is the kinda nonsense I gotta deal with!
Phi: Okay, my turn. You're annoying… And you're insane.
Hyde: …
Hyde: …You did not just call me insane.
Phi: Fine, fine. I'm insane too. But still, you stick your tongue out at people—
Hyde: So? Your eyes turn BLACK mid-battle. If that's not weird, I don't know what is.
Phi: What's weird is your teeth. It's unnatural for them to be so sharp.
Hyde, Lui, Silas, and Xander: EXCUSE ME?!
Phi: *grins evilly* You heard me.
Hyde: Y'know, another reason why I hate you, Phi, is because you're heartless.
Phi: You're heartless.
Hyde: MY NAME IS HEARTS!
Phi: Speaking of that, WHAT KIND OF NAME IS "HEARTS"?!
Hyde: At least it's better than a certain letter in the Greek alphabet…
Phi: *rolls eyes* You're so annoying.
Hyde: HAH! YOU'RE ONE TO TALK.
Phi: Also, you dress like a clown, you look like a clown, you LAUGH like a clown—
Hyde: WHAT IS WITH YOU AND CLOWNS?!
Silas: *elbows on table; shadowing face with hands*
Hyde: … *looks at Silas*
Hyde: …what's with him and clowns-?
Silas: *uncomfortable* I— uh…
Silas: *puts hands down* Nothing. I'm fine… I'm fine.
Honcho: *mockingly* Awww, is somebody scared?
Silas: *teeth grinding* Keep talking and I will actually murder you, Kiyama.
Hyde: Speaking of murder— This guy shattered Hades!
Phi: Mhm. Broke it into pieces~
Hyde: *glaring at Phi*
Phi: *grinning* Pieces that are now a part of this~ *tosses Dread Phoenix up and down*
Hyde: *shaking head* You are so immature.
Phi: Excuse me-? IMMATURE?!
Hyde: I swear, that's what it says on Beyblade Wiki. *arms crossed* And it makes sense; you blindly follow your greed, you blew a fuse when I got first pick all those years ago, and you can't understand simple things like why you lost to Aiger.
Phi: *fists clenching*
Hyde: *pats Phi on the head and grins* But don't worry~ I'm always gonna be here to keep ya in check—
Phi: WHAT? I DON'T NEED ANYONE TO—
Hyde: *flatly* Says the guy who mentally cracked after episode 41.
Phi:
Hyde: *bitterly* And in case you don't remember, I was the only one there for you. I came to you over and over, trying to pull your ignorant self outta the darkness.
Phi: …
Phi: *sighs* fine. whatever.
*brief silence*
Me: *looks from Phi to Hyde* Wait, I'm curious now. What do you guys like about each other?
Phi & Hyde: …
Phi & Hyde: …
Phi & Hyde: …
Phi: *finally speaks up* *clears throat awkwardly* Hyde? You… you wanna go first…?
Hyde: What—? Oh, no it's okay you can go—
Phi: *gesturing for his brother to go first* Please, be my guest—
Hyde: Nonono, you go ahead—
Phi: You're too kind. I insist, you go first.
Hyde: No, I insist. You first.
Phi: Hey— no, I insisted first—
Hyde: Did you? Did anyone else hear Phi insist…?
Phi: *groans*
Hyde: Well, I double insist.
Phi: *brightly* Oh, you're insisting on going first?
Hyde: What? No, I'm not—
Phi: *hands up* Alright, you win.
Hyde: …I do?
Phi: It's okay, you can go ahead. I'll wait.
Hyde: Wait, what?
Me: GUYS! IT'S NOT THAT HARD.
Hyde: FINE, fine. I'll go first.
Hyde: … *looks at Phi awkwardly*
Phi: *avoiding eye contact with equal awkwardness*
Hyde: Eh, so. Hm… what do I like about you…? Oh— I mean you're good at pretty much anything you put your mind to… and, uh… yeah.
Phi: *playing with hair* *clears throat* My turn… so, I guess I… admire how… um… people… I mean… everyone likes you… *sighs as if that was extremely difficult to say*
*silence*
Me: …that's it…?
Phi & Hyde: *refuse to speak any further*
Me: *looks from Phi to Hyde*
Phi: *desperately wants to disappear*
Hyde: *every ounce of his being hoping for the chapter to end*
Everyone: …
Honcho: *staring at the twins* …I think you broke them.
