( OrangeflowerOJ: Danke! Ich bin nicht so gut in Deutsch, aber ich lerne!
I'm not even sure if that was grammatically correct… :'3)
Cronus bit the end of his cigarette, trying not to make too much noise as he watched his little brother intently. Eridan had been in his room for hours now on his laptop, doing God-knows-what. He'd also been constantly checking his phone, intently jabbing at the keypad whenever he picked it up. He's probably talking to his boyfriend. After the incident in the café, he'd been wondering about this new blind kid. He'd pressured Eridan into telling him about Sollux, and from what he'd heard, they were already a little more than friends.
Sollux seemed alright. Of course, Cronus already had distaste for his annoying, bipolar, douchebag of an older brother. However, despite what everybody (especially Meenah) thought, Cronus Ampora wasn't as big a jerk as he (without trying to) made himself out to be. He wasn't going to judge Sollux by his brother, especially if the kid was blind. He just didn't have it in his heart.
"Hey, chief, what're you doing?"
Cronus grinned unconsciously as Eridan scrambled to shut his laptop.
"Cro, get the fuck outta my room! I'm not doin' anything of importance to you!"
"Are you texting your boyfriend?"
Eridan grimaced, defiantly flipping his brother off.
"He's not my boyfriend! I'm not even gay!"
"Judging by the way you kept checking your phone every five minutes for Sollux to text you back, you're not the straightest boy in the house."
"Fuck you! And you think I don't know about you and Kankri?"
For a minute, Eridan held his angry expression until he fully realized what Cronus had said.
"Were you watching me?"
Cronus let out an airy laugh, looking down his nose at the furious teenager in front of him. He had to admit, he didn't think Eridan would've noticed Kankri, but that was of no matter.
"I was just…supervising you. Like a guardian should."
"Just fucking disown me! I don't need a guardian, especially if it's you!"
Eridan stood up and proceeded to elbow Cronus out of the room. He laughed a bit as he watched his little brother storm back into his bedroom. Shaking his head, he turned to head back towards his own room. Yeah, he came across as an overbearing asshole of an older brother, but he worried about his little brother more than anyone'd think.
(Hhhhh this is terrible I'm sorry but crONUS.
Also, I'm sorry fandom,
But I don't give a fuck about Mituna. Seriously, the fandom babies him wayyy too much.
CRONUS ALL THE WAY w00t w00t)
