Author's Note: Hi guys, just a heads up, this is a Detentionaire slash fic starring the Serpent, Lee Ping and other characters from the series. Mainly this story revolves around the Serpent and Lee, where the both of them are brothers and that Serpent's name is Chase (because honestly, he looks like a Chase to me).
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Detentionaire characters mentioned in this story, nor do I own any music that I may mention either as the story progresses. Without further a due, let's begin.
Chapter 4: Dealing with the Serpents
Previously on the Serpent and the Tazelwurm;
Lee groaned and turned away from Chase so that his brother could spoon him closer as they drifted off to sleep. Unbeknown to Lee, Chase was thinking of murderous thoughts of Lynch. How he could exact vengeance or break Lynch for hurting his precious baby brother.
"Hmm, there's time for that later, I'll just comfort Lee for now" thought Chase as he kissed Lee's head and dozed off himself.
The night ended with three dates and a fight.
Three couples had a time of their lives.
Yet the cheese was never found.
What has become of Holger's cheese anyway?
6:45am: Ping Residence – Lee's Bedroom
Lee was shifting and turning in his sleep again. Sweat was slowly forming on his forehead as he tossed and turned. He was having the same dream again about Tina, how it would have been nice if the two of them could be closer and more than just friends. The same dream was projecting itself in Lee's mind;
Lee was on a field of grass.
Tina was resting her head on his chest as she mused to the beats of his heart.
Lee was holding her close and telling her how cute she looked.
Tina giggled and she leaned closer to Lee.
They both gazed at each other longingly and it happened.
Lee and Tina closed their eyes as they both leaned in for the kiss.
Lee pressed his lips firmly on Tina's as he poured his love out.
The kiss was so real, yet why does it have to be just another fantasy?
Lee opened his eyes slowly, his vision was blurry and his ribs were aching. There was something pressed to his lips, so he tried his best to blink the sleep away from his eyes. As his vision was getting clearer, he can see a well-defined face, with medium black hair and black eyes staring at him lovingly. Could it be Tina?
Lee prayed and hoped so, however, once his vision returned to him, he was greeted by a sight he was not expecting to happen ever in his teenage life.
His brother.
Chase (aka the Serpent).
In his bed.
Holding him close.
Naked.
And kissing him.
Kissing him!
"ARGHHHHH!" Lee screamed and responded with a reflex by striking Chase at his abdomen, which made Chase winced in pain and fall out of Lee's bed. Lee immediately pulled his bed sheets closer to his body and curled himself close to the headboard.
"わー！のためのことは何でしたか?" Chase asked, as he was wrapping his arms around his abdomen while he crawled back onto Lee's bed. Alright, so his brother was wearing pants at least, but that does not give him the right to kiss him or sleep with him without his consent!
"Dude, you're in my room, in my bed, holding me close, and kissing me on the lips. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not how I wanted to be woken up from my sleep, Chase!" growled Lee angrily as he moved further away from his brother.
Chase quirked an eyebrow, but nonetheless, he kept his distance from his brother so that Lee could listen to him without having to strike him in any other parts of his body.
"Listen, your friends came over last night with you barely conscious and wounded. As they left I patched up your wounds and changed you into your pajamas. I was only sleeping in your room because I was worried about you. Who knows what Lynch could do to you if I wasn't here to protect you! Oh, and just so you know, you kissed me baby brother while you were asleep" stated Chase, who crossed his arms and was looking disappointed in Lee.
Now Lee was feeling awful, though his brother could be a real pain sometimes, but he really did care for him. Maybe he should learn to be more open to Chase.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound mean or hurt you, it's just really stressful y'know and-" Chase laid his finger on Lee's lips, silencing him.
"Enough, the point is you're home and that's all I could ask for. You can always repay me back with that deal we made earlier you know" grinned Chase.
Lee totally forgot about the deal he made with his brother, perhaps he could fake it by telling Chase that he does not recall any deal he had made with him. On the contrary, his brother was always a few steps ahead of him and he withdrew his phone from his pocket.
"Don't even think of trying to weasel your way out of this Lee. I had our conversation recorded on my phone along with some extras" Chase played the recording of Lee gasping as Chase was sucking his neck hungrily, he could hear the low moans and the notorious giggle of his brother from the phone, accompanied by Lee's deal with his brother.
Lee was completely flushed from head to toe as if he was a living human tomato, which made Chase very happy. Only he could reduce his brother into such a state.
Chase leaned closer to Lee and whispered to him.
"At 9:30am meet me in my room, I have a task I want you to do for me. If you break your promise, I'll have to punish you severely baby brother" purred Chase as he Eskimo kissed Lee's nose and left the room. Leaving Lee to himself.
"Good God, what have I gotten myself into?" thought Lee as he embraced his knees to his chest.
8:00am: Ping Residence – Stairway
"Lee, Chase, come down for breakfast! Your meals are getting cold" called out Mrs. Ping who was waiting for her boys to come downstairs for their breakfast.
"We'll be right down mother!" answered Chase.
Mr. Ping was busy flipping through channels on the television with Priscilla wrapped around his neck and Taz sitting beside him on the couch. It looks as if they were keeping exotic animals from the zoo in their house. Mrs. Ping walked over to her husband and asked him.
"Don't you think having Taz with you is enough? Priscilla should be in her cage" said Mrs. Ping.
Mr. Ping shrugged his shoulder and turned to his wife.
"Well Taz has been getting a lot of exercise with his constant scurrying around the house lately. I thought it would be good for Priscilla if she had some fresh air and perhaps stretch her scales around the house too" smiled Mr. Ping as he stroked Priscilla.
Mrs. Ping just smiled and shook her head.
"Dear, having a tazelwurm roaming loose around the house is enough as it is. Having another reptilian out would be a lot more responsibility than you could manage" scolded Mrs. Ping who lifted Taz up from his spot so that she could sit beside her husband with Taz on her lap purring happily.
"What? Nonsense, why caring after these two together would be easy as pie! I bet you I could go a full day caring for both of them without any help!" challenged Mr. Ping which peaked the interest of his wife.
"Oh? What are we wagering?"
"Hmm, the loser will have to give Taz and Priscilla a bath!" declared Mr. Ping.
Mrs. Ping smirked, oh this was getting good.
"Alright, deal" they both shook on it and Mrs. Ping returned to the kitchen.
"Hahaha, this is too easy! Looking after my sons' pets would be a breeze! What could possibly go wrong?" thought Alfred Ping as he leaned his back on the couch.
Taz's POV
"Hmmmm… this male human smells funny… He doesn't smell of soap" thought Taz as he crawled closer to Alfred.
When Alfred saw this he smiled down at Taz at petted him on the head.
"He pets me when I come close, so this human must work as a personal petter… Interesting…" mused Taz as he shifted his attention to Priscilla.
"Oi, snake! Why do you get to be around this human's neck?" asked Taz as he pawed at Priscilla's tail.
"Urgh… stay away you mongrel~ I prefer not talking to such a beast such as yourself" said Priscilla as she hid her head between her wraps.
Tch! Snooty-serpent… Just like her human.
Taz leaped off the couch and slithered upstairs towards Lee's room.
"Hmmm, my human has not pet me… I demand to be petted now!" declared Taz as he entered Lee's room and pawed at Lee's leg.
"Human! Why do you ignore me? You are to give me love and hugs, and I demand them now!" demanded Taz as he wrapped his body around Lee's leg to push him to do what he says.
Lee looked down to find Taz curling around his leg, he smiled at Taz and lifted him up so he was cradled in his arms.
"That's much better. I like you, so keep doing as you are told or else I will have my humans fire you" hissed Taz as he nuzzled Lee's face.
8:30am: Holgaart Residence – Holger's Bedroom
Holger was grooming himself so that he would look his best for his sweet Greta today, after so many attempts of getting Greta to be with him, Holger managed to persuade Greta to meet up with him at the Coco Café so that he could explain himself and give her the multi-colored roses he picked out just for her,
He wore his best white sweater and black slacks, with his hair dried and tied in a loose side braid. With his appearance in check he made his way to his dresser and picked up the photo he had kept of him and her together as a couple. It was the day they went to the carnival and shared cotton candy together. Such fond memories.
"Åh min underbara Greta, I will win you back. This Holger swearsies" declared Holger who made his way downstairs with the bouquet of flowers in his grasp. He withdrew his phone and dialled Cam's number.
"Hello, friend Cam? This is Holger from school, please be coming to ze park at 9:35am as promised ok? Alright Holger says goodbye-now, goodbye!" said Holger as he ended his call with Cam.
Yes, today was the day he will win Greta back.
Cheese or no cheese.
Holger will be victorious in this game of love!
9:30am: Ping Residence – Chase's Bedroom
Lee really didn't want to do this, but he was a man of his word so there's no turning back now. When he opened Chase's door, he was expecting a couple of things; Chase is taking a nap, Chase is doing some paperwork for his casino, or Chase was playing with Priscilla. He was not expecting his brother facing his back at him while he was unbuckling his pants, likewise he was still not wearing any shirt.
"Oh God… He's gonna take my virginity away from me…" whimpered Lee, who cupped his face in his hands in embarrassment. What a way to lose your virginity. Lee walked over to Chase and patted his shoulder to get his attention.
At the sight of his brother in his room, Chase smiled widely.
"Good boy, you kept your word. Now your task is simple, I need help at the casino today since I have a very important board meeting with Barrage and his old comrades. I need you to keep the place in check, perhaps even offer us drinks when we need it" said Serpent as he made his way to his closet.
So his brother was actually getting ready for work… That's a relief.
Wait, did he say help him at work?
"Chase, do you want me to be your secretary for the day? What happened to Marie?"
"Hmm? Oh, I gave her a week off from work, she was having trouble with finding a babysitter for her baby boy, so I gave her a break from her duty till she finds a nanny" said Chase, who was now dressed in a suit, and his black and blue hair gelled to the back so that he would look professional.
Must be an important meeting.
"Furthermore, you are not going to be my secretary, Lee" said Chase as he was in front of his mirror to fix his tie.
"Then, what am I supposed to be?" asked Lee, who crossed his arms to his chest.
Chase withdrew a case from under his bed and told Lee to come over to where he stood, as he opened the case to reveal the contents, Lee immediately jerked backwards in surprise.
No!
His brother was a sick man if he thinks he'll get him to wear that!
This was officially Lee's greatest regret, apart from that Halloween party incident with Biffy. The thought of that incident made Lee shiver.
"A deal is a deal Lee, no matter what it is or how long it takes" said Chase.
God, he wanted to turn back time and kick himself for making that bet.
9:35am: Park – Garden Walkway
Holger was pacing back and forth, his bouquet of flowers was in his hands, and his mind was racing in seconds thinking of what to tell Greta. Does he begin with an apology like what Lee suggested or does he court her to win her affection first? Such great choices, he couldn't decide which to do first.
"Oooh" Holger looked down at his watch.
"Where is Cam? He supposed to be here with Holger" sighed Holger as he made his way to sit on the park bench. When he looked around him there were a lot of people at the park today, mostly couples young or old and some families. There were children being chased by their parents as they play tag, and an elderly couple was sitting close to one another as they whispered to each other.
"Must be feeling nice to be in love like that" sighed Holger.
He reminisces the days he was living in Sweden; he was a great dancer, a great friend, but when it comes to love, it was all thanks to a girl with a unibrow named Greta. Sure, people don't really understand or appreciate Greta's beauty, but she was more than that. To Holger she was his vackra ängel. She was the woman he dreamt of being together forever with, they'll have a family together, and grow old together.
He hoped it would come true.
"If Greta be not liking me then…."
No, he won't think about what might happen.
The important thing is he's going to see her and tell her how much he's sorry for causing her so much heartache.
Just then he saw Cam heading towards him, he waved his hand and the two made their way to the garden.
"Got everything ready for your date with Greta, bro?" asked Cam as he walked beside Holger.
Holger nodded and turned to Cam.
"Most yesfinitely, Holger wants everything to be running smoothly for sweet Greta" said Holger and he embraced the flowers.
"Good bro, remember just tell her how you really feel for her. The chikas love that" said Cam as he withdrew his phone from his pocket.
Speaking of chika.
Though they weren't an official item, Cam really wanted to hang with Brandy more. From the day of helping out Lee, to the day he reigned as school president at A Nigma High, Brandy was always there beside him. She was his first lady after all.
His.
Holger noticed this and asked him.
"Friend Cam be having his own problems too, yes?"
"Huh? Oh Um, yeah, it's just that I'm scared" answered Cam.
"Be scared of what?"
"What may not happen at all" he said then placed his phone back into his pocket.
Holger just shook his head and placed a reassuring hand on his friend's shoulder.
"You shouldn't be scared of what might not happen, you should be scared when it does happen. Whatever it be making Cam scared, know that at least you went for it, yes?" said Holger.
Cam took a while to think about it, and for once Holger was making sense. If he didn't tell Brandy how he feels about her now, then there may not be another chance to tell her.
"Thanks Holger, you the man" said Cam as he playfully punched Holger's arm.
"Du är välkommen, friend Cam"
12:35pm: The Hydra – Meeting Room 1
"…and that my friends, is why I believe our business would reach and all time high if we were to cooperate together so we could eliminate the competition" said Chase as he showed his statistics to his business comrades.
Barrage just scoffed at him.
"That's a pretty thought-out plan, Mr. Serpent. However, you're forgetting one thing, how are we going to eliminate our competition exactly? If you haven't noticed, our competition is a hard nut to break" growled Barrage.
"I am well aware of that Barrage, which is why if you all turn to your handbook to page 30, I have illustrated the method of action" all men turned to page 30 and they were surprised. This could actually work, though they don't really understand why to use this method among all others though.
"Hmm, must be a safer option without having to cause a blood bath I suppose" thought Barrage as he flipped to the next diagram.
There were nods, and it seemed everyone agreed to the plan.
"Very well, gentlemen, before we are dismissed, let me serve you all some tea and coffee before you make haste with your other appointments" said Chase as he made his way to the meeting room's intercom.
"Lily, please bring in the beverages" called Chase as he had a wide grin spread on his face.
After two minutes, a young maid came in wearing a French maid uniform with white legging and polished pair of black shoes. The men in the room were captivated by the maid's lithe body and how the uniform hugged her figure so nicely.
The maid approached the first man and nicely asked.
"Coffee or Tea, sir?"
"Oh, um coffee for me, please" answered the blushing man.
After the maid has poured his cup she coyly made her way to the next gentleman, as she was serving their beverages the other men in the room were admiring the view of her thighs, especially Barrage.
"Good gravy, this little ewe is mighty fetching. Not to mention she has a great asset on her, mmmm" murred Barrage as the maid came towards him.
There was a short pause from the maid, but she continued anyway.
"C-coffee o-or tea, sir?" said the maid as she stuttered.
"Why anything you serve me would be just as delicious as the other, sweet peach" said Barrage as he winked at her.
Chase found this both funny and annoying.
The maid simply giggled nervously and poured him his cup and made her way out of the meeting room with her face covered with the tray she was holding. The men were now absolutely smitten by the maid's action. Furthermore, once she had left the meeting room, all of them turned to Chase to ask the following questions;
"Where did you find her?"
"Is she single?"
"Can I have her work for me, please?"
"Name your price!"
However, Barrage's question won them all over.
"Is she your girlfriend?"
Everyone turned their attention to Barrage and then to Chase, they were secretly hoping that it wasn't true.
Chase simply shrugged his shoulders and answered.
"She could be, if she stopped playing hard to get" answered Chase as he sipped his cup of tea.
"So, she's still on the market then? Interesting"
"I would really appreciate it if you do not harass my maid. She has enough work with me as her boss as it is" said Chase as he glared at Barrage.
"Oh, don't think a minute I'll back off Serpent. Especially when there's a beauty of a gem like her working for a manipulative snake like you" sneered Barrage as he finished his cup of tea, and made his way out of the meeting room.
Let the games begin, then.
12:55pm: Ping Residence – Front Lawn
"Alright Taz, today we're going on a nice walk around the neighborhood so you better be on your best behavior now" said Alfred as he fastened Taz's collar to his leash. Taz simply clawed at his leash and jiggled his head, appearing to not like the accessory around his neck.
"Now Taz it's just for a short while, you'll be free soon" reassured Alfred as he dragged Taz to the sidewalk.
Taz's POV
"Foolish human! Just because you are not my redheaded human does not mean you have the right to take me on my morning walks!" hissed Taz as he made a dash to the sidewalk. Alfred fell on his back and saw Taz running towards the neighbor's flower beds.
"No! Taz, come back here!" cried Mr. Ping as he chased after Taz.
"You need your exercise human, I will gladly give you the training you need" hissed Taz as he leaped over the shrubs and crawled in the small hole of the fence. Alfred tried to leap over the fence, but instead his sweatshirt got caught by the post and he tripped over the fence, falling face first on the ground.
"Hmmm, you need more training than I thought" thought Taz as he slithered himself around and pounced on Alfred.
"Oof! Taz! What did I say about behaving?" scolded Alfred.
"What did I say about giving me orders, human?" hissed Taz as he wrapped his leash around Alfred and dragged him all the way down the neighborhood.
"TAZ!" screamed Alfred as his son's pet tazelwurm was dragging him from houses to houses, and from gardens to gardens with his body wrapped tightly with his pet leash.
15 minutes later
Sue Ping was busy grading her students' paper, then she heard a knock coming from the front door. She stopped her grading, got herself off her seat and made her way to the door. When she opened it, she was having fits of giggles. Her husband was looking very unruly with Taz's pet leash all over his frame, his clothes were covered in mud, grass, flowers and dirt, and Taz was the one with the other end of the leash in his jaws.
Sue was gasping for air, then she wiped a tear from her eye.
"Heehee, looks like I have a fair shot at winning this bet" she said as she made room so her messy husband could get in.
"Oh no, the bet is far from over my lotus flower! We made a deal that I could look after both Priscilla and Taz, and I'm not going to say uncle just yet" growled Mr. Ping as he leaned close to his wife.
Sue just giggled.
"Alright, but go take a bath. Your body is filthy" laughed Sue as she petted Taz and walked back to grading her students' papers.
"Human, your mate speaks the truth. Go and clean yourself, then we will do more training" hissed Taz as he slithered off to Lee's room for a quick nap.
"Oh, it's on" though Alfred as he made his way to the bathroom to freshen up.
1:30pm: The Hydra – Hallway to Meeting Room 1
Could his luck get any worse than this?
Lee immediately made his way out of Meeting Room 1, he couldn't stand being in a room filled with men ogling him when he's wearing the maid dress, and not just that Barrage was there and winked at him. At him!
Oh, Chase was an evil man for making him wear this! Lee thanked God, he hid his identity with the wig Chase had in the briefcase, and mom's makeup. If Barrage knew it was him under this getup, he'll never let him live this down or hear the end of it.
Lee fixed his wig, and pulled at his skirt. The outfit's skirt keeps rising up to his thighs, which Lee would appreciate if it doesn't show off his unmentionables.
"Great, I have to deal with a sadistic brother and a wardrobe malfunction all in one day" Lee made his way down the hall where a full length mirror stood. He was busily fixing his skirt that he did not notice Barrage was heading down the hall towards him.
When Barrage saw "Lily" fixing her skirt in front of the mirror, he whistled to himself and couldn't help but admire the little visible peek of her white undies showing beneath the skirt. Barrage licked the corner of his lips and approached Lily.
"Howdie doo, Miss Lily" said Barrage as he greeted Lily.
Lee noticed Barrage in the reflection of the mirror and immediately spun around. Oh no, has he been discovered? Lee made a nervous laugh-squeak and began toying with his wig's bangs.
"Oh, um, hello there, Mr…"
"Barrage, Wendell Barrage. Oh, but you can just call me Wendell" smiled Barrage.
Alright calm down. He thinks you're Lily, Chase's maid, so you're in the clear as long as he doesn't lean in too close.
"You know"
Lee turned his attention back to Barrage.
"I have never met a cute little doe like you around the Hydra before, is this your first day on the job?" asked Barrage.
Lee nodded his head and coyly covered his face with the tray he had.
"Y-yes, this is my first day on the job" squeaked Lee as he tried to maneuver away from Barrage.
Barrage merely walked a few steps forward. To him, this little maid was intriguing and as shy as a vixen in her hidey-hole. Could she be any more endearing? Barrage chuckled and said.
"You don't have to be shy around me, missy. Just because I look scary does not mean I'm a bad guy" said Barrage as he tried to get a hold of the maid.
Lee giggled nervously due to his fear of Barrage and his limited spaces to avoid him.
"Oh you, heehee I really must be going now. I have a lot of chores to d-" Barrage was not having any of that now, instead he trapped Lee against the wall with both his arms blocking his sides so he would not try to escape him.
Barrage smiled.
"Oh don't be like that sweet peach, I just want to get to know you better~" purred Barrage.
Lee was now scared for his life! There was no way his brother and his principal are going to take advantage of him today! Lee placed both his hands on Barrage's chest and said.
"Ooh, um, you're really strong, but I really shouldn't. I'm married" said Lee.
Barrage took Lee's or in this case "Lily's" left hand and showed it to her.
"I don't see a wedding ring~"
"I'm married to my job? Heehee…" chuckled Lee, who was desperately finding a way to escape Barrage's hold on him and an idea popped up.
"Is that Master Chase over there?" Lee pointed.
Barrage turned back to look if it was Chase, but he saw nothing.
"I don't see-" Lily wasn't there anymore, instead she was running down the hall with her tray in hand.
Ooooh~~ little vixen wants to play catch huh?
"I'm coming for you, my little apple dumpling!" called out Barrage, who was now running down the halls to chase after Lily.
2:00pm: The Coco Café – Couple Booth's
Holger was sitting in an empty booth in the café fiddling with his bouquet. Cam was two booths away from him so that he could give Holger some privacy with Greta as they patch up their relationship. Just then a familiar sight of a unibrow girl entered the café. Holger waved at Greta, and they both sat down together.
"Hello Greta, you be looking most pretty today já? Let Holger begin by saying how sorry he is for making you so sad at the mall, and these pretty rosies are for you" Greta took the flowers and placed them by her side.
"Thanks Holger"
"Greta min vackra ängel, Holger is sorry for making you mad like that, and Holger doesn't want our relationship to end suddenly like that too. So please be coming back to Holger, Holger misses you so much and Holger hopes you still be keeping some love for him toosies" said Holger as he grasped onto Greta's hands as he desperately seeks out an answer from Greta.
Greta placed her right hand above Holger's and gazed at him lovingly.
"Holger, I love you so much too" teared up Greta as she said so.
Holger was in tears too, not by seeing Greta cry, but because his Greta still harbored some feelings of love for him.
"I am so sorry Holgie, but I don't think I can continue this any longer" this stunned not only Holger but Cam as well. Cam leaned in closer so that he could hear the conversation from his booth.
"Holger don't understand… Why?"
"Oh, Holger. I am so sorry, when you and I had that fight I was so angry at you for dating Kimmie and all that I just wanted you to feel the same pain I felt" said Greta as her words were muffled by her hands as she tried to conceal her face in shame.
Holger still did not understand, why was Greta telling him such hurtful things?
"Greta, Holger is being very sorry and whatever it be making Greta so sad, Holger forgives you. Holger loves Greta very much" reassured Holger as he tried to hug Greta.
Greta just shrugged him off and wiped her tears.
"No Holger, you don't get it. I went behind your back and had an affair with Steve!" cried Greta which was loud enough that everyone in the café including Cam, turned their attention towards her.
Cam was absolutely shocked off his seat.
Greta had an affair with Steve?!
"Greta… but…" Greta didn't let him finish.
"Holger, it's best that you and I do not see each other anymore. Especially when I'm expecting" said Greta lowly but could be heard by Holger.
Holger's heart was breaking into billions of pieces.
"Y-you're carrying Steve's baby?"
Greta nodded her head.
Holger was feeling absolutely faint, first his love cheese and now his lady. His world was spinning around and he collapsed on the floor.
"(Gasp) Holger?!"
"HOLG!" cried out Cam who immediately came to Holger's rescue and cradled his head in his lap.
"Holger?! Holg! Talk to me man! Someone call 911! Call an ambulance! Ayúdame, por favor! ¡Ayuda!" cried Cam as he held on to his unconscious best friend.
What will become of Holger?
To be continued…
Me: Hey everyone it's me again. Alright just to be clear this is a two part chapter, and the second part will be uploaded on the 21st of December. Poor Holger, will he be alright? What will happen to Lee? And where is Lynch?! Find out in the next part of the Serpent and the Tazelwurm.
