Hey, guys! There's a nod to "Six Things' in here, so there's that! More notes at the end. ^.^
And so, it was a normal day in the specialist-wizard household. Well, not so much household rather than dormitories, but you get the point. Anywho, it was relatively normal.
The guys were gathered in Sky and Brandon's room, a lazy day in place. Sky was lounging around upside down on a couch, a book in his hand full of material he was supposed to learn for his next class. However, it seemed that he was dozing off. Helia was using his downtime to draw, though even the level-headed, mature specialist looked bored. Riven was testing his weapon out, trying to keep himself distracted. Timmy was typing away at his laptop. Nabu, who was there for once, was reading.
"Guys, I hate to admit this, but the apartment is really boring without the drama king." Riven sighed, putting his weapon down. Recently, Riven had been a bit more open with his emotions, thinking to take the talk he had with Flora a few days to heart. Though they were subtle changes, the guys noticed it. It was sweet. Helia nodded. "Yeah, I've no idea what to do."
Nabu put his book down, blankly staring to the ceiling. "Our good friend Brandon died today." He said, his gaze to the abyss. Timmy paused, looking up from his laptop and nodding. "Sometimes, we can still hear his voice." He said, wiping a mock tear. Sky startled, sitting up. "-I'm always a sucker for memes!" He mumbled, rubbing his eyes. "..What are we memeing?" "The death of your boyfriend, Sky." Riven deadpanned.
Sky blinked. "Oh, Brandon's on a date today, right? Let's check his social media. You know that he and Stella are always posting on their Snapchat stories." Sky said, already pulling his phone out. He scrolled through his Snap, grinning in triumph as he found Brandon's story. Riven looked curiously over the back of Sky's shoulder, while Timmy peered from the side, laptop discarded. "Oh, it seems he's been posting about his date." The story ended with Brandon showing off Stella's newly painted nails. "Welp. Nothing really interesting." He said.
However, Nabu seemed to be contemplating something. "Hey guys, why don't we paint our nails?" He suggested. Sky shrugged. "I mean, it looks fun. Helia's good with art, and so what if it's considered feminine? Riven found himself agreeing. Helia hummed his approval, getting up. "Thank you Sky." he said, a soft smile on his face.
"Question though; We don't have nail polish. How would we paint our nails?" Timmy pointed out.
"Well, I mean, we would need to go to Magix to purchase some. Helia, do you have any old paints?" Nabu asked, Helia perked up. "Actually, I have some polish. Old, but yeah."
He received stares from the group. "What? Masculinity is such a social construct." He deadpanned.
"Fair enough." Riven shrugged, getting up. "Helia, I'll help you carry them over here. Men, time for some team bonding." And soon, they put their plan into action.
A few minutes later, Timmy had already researched the process on Wikihow, while Sky lay some old papers they they could use to paint. Nabu sat down, while Riven and Helia returned with the paints. "So, we have a bit of a problem. The brushes are kind of dried up, but the polish itself seems to be intact." He said, carrying the supplies as Riven popped the door open.
"How about we put them on an old paint tray? They're like paints, right?" Helia shrugged. "I mean, if you said that in front of some artists, they would probably be out for your head. However, I think it's fine. Plus, we were considering using old paint anyway." He said, retreating to get some trays.
"Okay, that's one problem solved. However, how the heck are we supposed to paint without brushes? Old paint brushes would look bad." Timmy questioned. Riven looked to the ceiling. "Our weapons. Swords, and all that stuff"
The guys all stared to him, including Helia who had returned. "What? Gotta keep things interesting. Brandon would've wanted this of us. Have we ever stuck to the rules?"
Sky was the first to speak. "Sounds like a hazard, and extra. We could get injured. I love it."
…
Not ten minutes passed, and Helia found himself calling the main office.
"Hi, grandfather? Uhm, yes, that's Sky in the background. No, don't do that, Riven. Quit prodding Nabu. Uhm, question. What should we do if you, well, hypothetically accidently stabbed yourself in the foot while painting nails? No, no, Timmy, put that away- How dangerous are our weapons?"
Saladin pinched the bridge of his nose. "Helia- I just… Okay. Follow regular protocols if any of you are injured. You'll survive. Just… Aren't you kids supposed to be teachers? You have classes to teach early tomorrow, you know."
"We know, grandpa."
"Why are you using nail polish with your-"
"Poor life decisions, grandpa."
You've heard of WoW, but have you heard of KUWTS?
...Yeah no, I need to think of a better short name-
Anywho, your girl's done her exams! meaning, I'm going to be putting my attention to getting these fanfictions updated! I really wanted to write up Igor-Who since it's more plot heavy, but realised that I had too many ideas for this one first. Look out for updates!
