Twelve Weeks of Ikarishipping
Week Two: Brothers are Evil
Genre: Humor/Romance
Rating: T
AN: Well...I've never written anything where anyone gets drunk before...though I think I've read enough fics about it to fix that problem, though...ah, heck with it. It's mostly dialog cuz I wanted to try a new writing style.
Also inspired by talking with Rayon1-san. Might as well say we're co-authors for this drabble series. Anyways, hope you'll enjoy the karaoke, compliments of the ikarishipping thread over on the Serebii Forums. Topics. Sometimes you just gotta love them.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon.
Summary: Brothers: Pure evil with the intent of making your life miserable by telling others embarrassing stories of your youth and blackmailing you. Life's just grand.
PS: All the characters in this story are at legal drinking ages...Glossary at the end for those who need its reference. Hints at SumomoxReiji.
Week Two: Brothers are Evil (A.K.A. Don't Go to a Karaoke Bar EVER)
"Oh Shinji-chan..."
"Mmm..."
"Shinji-kun..."
"...zzzzzzzzzzzz..."
"Ototou..."
"Mmmmmm...leave me 'lone..."
"..."
"..."
"...BAKA NO SHINJI! WAKE UP!!!"
"Wah!" -THUMP- "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"
"I had to wake you up..."
Shinji glared at his brother and picked his sore body up off the floor.
Then he glanced at the clock.
And did a double take.
"It's midnight,"
Reiji just grinned and shoved a pile of clothing in Shinji's face.
"Well, we're going somewhere!"
"..."
"Come on, Shin-chan. Get up."
"..."
"If you don't, I'll be forced to make you breakfast."
Shinji grimaced and pulled on the clothes.
Honestly, how much vinegar should be in food before it became illegal?
"...where are we going?"
"Mmm...somewhere..."
"Where?"
"Like I said: somewhere."
"Where, aniki."
"Now, Shinji—"
"Onii-sama, if you do not tell me where we are going right now, I'll make sure to give Sumomo-san your art book full of sketches of her..."
"Uh, okay, okay, no need to take drastic measures!"
"So. Where are we going?"
"To a karaoke bar!"
"..."
"Shinji?"
Said younger brother crawled back under his covers.
"Call me when it's daylight out."
"...ototou...breakfast..."
"Grr...you woke me up at an ungodly hour just to drag me to a karaoke bar?"
"...Shinji, Hikari-san is going to be there, and I'm pretty sure she'd like to see some embarrassing pictures of you as a child, or even better: you remember that one time when we were visiting Nagisa City—"
"Okay, okay, I get it...wait...why would I care that Hikari's there?"
"...would you care if I went and told her, Satoshi-san, and Takeshi-san about that one time we visited Nagisa—"
"FINE! Just hurry UP!"
ooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Reiji-san! You made it!"
A cheerful looking girl in a skimpy black and pink outfit came running over, tackling the older man and gave him a bone crushing hug.
She never did quite remember that she had the tendency to cut off another's circulation with just a little friendly squeeze.
Reiji was turning a purple color to match his hair when Hikari finally let go.
"Konbanwa, Hikari-san! Look at who I brought with me!"
"Eh? Shinji?! What are you going here?"
"He blackmailed me into coming."
"Oh? Blackmail? With what?"
"Cooking."
Hikari sweat dropped.
"Ano...Reiji's cooking can't be that bad..."
"He has an uncanny habit of adding in a lot of vinegar to his cooking when he wants to get his way..."
"Eheheh..."
"Hey! Shinji! Didn't expect to see you here!"
Satoshi gave Shinji a thump on his back, grinning like the idiot he was.
Shinji just glared, wishing he was still in his warm, comfy bed, and not at a karaoke bar with deranged people.
He was going to make sure Reiji paid.
And then maybe he'll kick Satoshi's dumb butt as an added bonus.
"Shut up, ahou."
"Hey! Kisama—I'll—"
Takeshi quickly intervened.
"Now Satoshi..."
"Shikashi! Takeshi!"
"Satoshi. We're here to enjoy the night, not have a fight."
"That goes for you too, Shinji."
Reiji gave his ototou a discerning and pointed look that promised torture if he didn't obey him.
Shinji grimaced.
Great.
Just great.
Life just really loves him.
"Hai."
"Ne, Shinji!"
"What is it, onna?"
"Mou! I have a name, you know!"
"What. Do. You. Want?"
"Mou! You don't have to be so cold!"
"..."
"Ugh. Well, here it goes: Why don't you sing a song!"
"..."
"Shinji?"
"...no."
"Aw, come on, Shinji!"
"No, Hikari."
"You said my name! You said my name!"
Hikari latched onto him in sheer bliss.
It wasn't every day that Shinji acknowledged her.
"That's besides the point. Now let go of me before you cut off my circulation."
"Eheheh, gomen ne..."
"Oi! Hikari! Why don't you go sing a song?"
"Eh? A song? Um, well...okay! Prepare to be blown out of your socks, minna-san!"
"Pinku ni kagayaku jiman no pokecchi."
"Mayotta toki ni wa koin tosu wo shite."
"Itsudemo massugu mao wo mitsumeteru."
"Tsuyoku nareru kimi no soba de."
"Chikara ni nareru."
"Ganbare"tte iu yori "Daijoubu"tte tsutaetai."
"Shinjiru yuuki areba."
"GO GO GO!!"
"Kimi to nara Yeah!!"
"Issho ni Step!!"
"Ookiku Jump!!"
"Tobikoete yukeru darou?"
"Donna yama mo donna tani mo kowakunai sa?"
"Minna de Yeah!!"
"Issho ni Step!!"
"Ashita e Jump!!"
"Ima sugu shunkan wo kanjite."
"Hashiridasou kaze ni notte."
"Motto tsuyoku!!"
"Takusan no yume to takusan no omoi,"
"Kono mune no naka dakishimeteru tabi wa tsudzuiteku."
"Togireru tameiro no,"
"Tachi tsukusu toki datte shinjiru nakama ireba."
"GO GO GO!!"
"Kimi to nara Yeah!!"
"Issho ni Step!!"
"Ookiku Jump!!"
"Norikoete yukeru darou?"
"Donna tami mo donna tsurasa mo daijoubu sa."
"Minna de Yeah!!"
"Issho ni Step!!"
"Ashita e Jump!!"
"Tadoritsukeru sa ippo zutsu."
"Mae wo mitsume aruite yuku."
"Motto tsuyoku!!"
"Kimi to nara Yeah!!"
"Issho ni Step!!"
"Ookiku Jump!!"
"Tobikoete yukeru darou?"
"Donna yama mo donna tani mo kowakunai sa?"
"Minna de Yeah!!"
"Issho ni Step!!"
"Ashita e Jump!!"
"Ima sugu shunkan wo kanjite."
"Hashiridasou bokutachi wa mou mayowanai."
After her song, Satoshi, Takeshi, Reiji, and practically every male in the bar besides Shinji started to clap wildly.
Shinji just glowered and sent death glares to all of the people with women preferences.
It was getting on his nerves.
"Woo! Yeah! Go Hikari!"
"Hmm...Shinji, don't you think her singing was great?"
"Yeah, sure, whatever, aniki."
Reiji grinned when he saw what Shinji was doing.
Blackmail!
"Ne, Shinji...do you...happen to..."
Shinji raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?"
Reiji chuckled.
"Well...do you...maybe...like Hikari?"
Shinji nearly fell face first out of his chair.
What ever gave his brother THAT impression?
"What? Of course not! Nii-sama, have you been drinking?"
"...um...maybe?"
Well, that would explain the slurred words.
Honestly, why did they have to go to a karaoke bar?
"Whatever..."
Hikari plopped down next to Shinji, holding a bottle in her hand.
Satoshi was up on stage, singing horribly off key.
Then again, Shinji did see his rival drinking.
Hikari was also looking a bit tipsy.
Her cheeks were tinted pink, and she was giggling madly at Satoshi's song.
Plus, she was rubbing herself shamelessly against him in an attempt to snuggle.
"Shiiiiiiiinjiiiiiiiiii,"
"What?"
"Let's sing a song together!"
Taking the bottle from the intoxicated girl, Shinji shook his head.
"No."
And there was nothing that was going to change his mind.
Not even the fact that Hikari had just straddled him and kissed him full in the mouth.
"Please?"
They were both panting when she pulled away.
Shinji dimly heard catcalls, but he wasn't exactly thinking too well, with his fuzzy mind still humming from the kiss.
That would explain why he took a large swig from the confiscated bottle in his hand.
He had forgotten that he had no tolerance for alcohol.
"Fine."
He got up and pulled Hikari to her feet, then they both headed over to the stage.
Reiji stared at his brother in disbelief.
Then he saw the bottle of liquor.
"Oh crap."
Shinji and Hikari had taken to the stage, singing Niji and then following it with Natsu No E.
After they had sauntered down from the stage and back to the area where their friends were sitting at and promptly started to engage in some heavy making out.
Reiji was left to carry a drunken Shinji back home after their little rendez-vous at the karaoke bar.
The next morning, Shinji woke up to a bright stream of sunlight and a pounding head.
He groaned and held his aching head.
The door opened.
"You are never taking me out to one of those places ever again."
Reiji grinned innocently.
"Really? Are you sure? I mean, you and Hikari really enjoyed it last night, and man, it was some hot stuff..."
Shinji groaned and fell back onto his pillow, covering his face with it.
"Shut up and get me some aspirin."
