Since I feel like being mean, this chapter is in your brother's POV!
..For a little bit.
His name has also been decided! It's..
ESTABAN JULIO RICARDO MONTOYA DE LA ROSA RAMIREZ!
...I'm kidding. His real name is Taro, since that's the one that I liked the most. Thank you Anon! (And no, not the guest.)
Digital Mask
Taro and his posse had crashed over at his place after the three of them had gotten bored of watching [Name] and Eve run around together. He flopped down next to his boyfri-
I mean his friend, Add, and nudged him.
"So, Addy, did ya find subtract?"
Add sighed. "Really? You're still using that joke?"
"Yes. So shut up and kiss me!" Taro leaned towards Add and made a kissy face and Add groaned and jabbed Taro in the stomach, causing Taro to let out an 'oof' and bend over. Taro raised an eyebrow.
"Oooh~ Want me to-"
"Don't you fucking dare."
Taro let out a laugh and sat up, watching Apple giggle.
"It's funny watching you two tease each other." Apple smiled, sitting down next to the boys. Taro grinned.
"Why thank you, my lady." Taro slid up besides Apple and winked, causing her to burst out laughing. Add sighed.
"Keep flirting with everyone like that, Turdo, and you're gonna end up on the back of a milk carton."
"Did..did you just somewhat-quote Swoozie?"
"Maybe." Add chuckled. Apple whined, squirming in her seat. Taro raised an eyebrow.
"You okay, Apple?"
She stopped and pouted, crossing her arms. "I'm hungry.."
Taro grinned and let out the manliest fucking giggle of all time, meeting Add's eyes. "Mac and cheese?"
Add nodded and smirked. "Mac and cheese."
"APPLE GET THAT DAMN CHEESE MIX IN THERE NOW! AND DO NOT FORGET TO DRAIN OUT THE WATER." Taro yelled, pointing at the boiling noodles. Apple squeaked and dashed towards the pot, taking it off of the burner and glancing at the counter, stopping and stiffening.
"B-but Taro..I don't know where the cheese is." Apple gave Taro an apologetic look and Taro groaned.
"Ugh. I bet Add has it."
"Maybe..I'm gonna go to the bathroom.." Apple nodded in Add's direction and walked out of the kitchen, the click of the door's lock giving Taro confirmation that it was time to confront him. Taro huffed, stomping towards Add, who was stifling a laugh. He put his hands on his hips and glared at his friend.
"Add. Cheese packet. Now."
"I don't have it, Gordon Ramsey." Add snickered, turning towards Taro with a barely hidden smile on his face. Taro growled and reached behind Add, who slid to the side.
"Add, give it!"
"Nope! You're so mean when you're cooking food, so it's time for you to ask nicely~" Add took the packet out from behind his back and waved it above Taro's head. "So, let's see how well you can jump."
Taro rushed towards Add, crashing into him and making him lose his balance, Taro reached for the packet, but Add was faster. Add's had shot up, dangling the packet just above Taro's reach. Taro whined in frustration and stood on his toes, trying in vain to reach it. Add smirked.
"Oh come on now, Taro, you can do better than that."
"Shoosh! I'm almost there!" Taro's voice was strained, and he suddenly wondered why Apple was taking so long. Add groaned when Taro sighed and gave up, leaning on the counter and waiting.
"Giving up already?"
"No, but Apple's been in there for a while. Hey, Apple! Are you okay?"
A squeak of surprise answered him. The lock clicked and Apple stepped out, holding a tissue to her nose. Add raised an eyebrow.
"What happened?"
Apple's face turned red and she didn't reply, looking away from the two of them. Taro's worried look turned into one of surprise, and then he grinned.
"Oooh. You thought Add and I were getting it on, weren't you?" Taro giggled. Apple shook her head frantically, causing Add to burst into laughter.
"Damn, I fell right into that one. You sly little midget."
"I am NOT a midget, you egg!" Taro smacked Add's arm and huffed, causing Add to laugh again. Apple giggled and thought,
I ship it.
"Hey, aren't we gonna eat?" Apple, walked over to the noodles and drained the water from them, placing the pot back on the counter. Before Add could stop him, Taro grabbed the cheese packet and dangled it triumphantly in his face before tossing it to Apple, who mixed it in with the milk. Taro raised his arms to the ceiling and fell down on his knees.
"Oh here we go.." Add muttered.
"BLESS! OH BLESS THE MACS CHEESE IS MADE!"
Eve yawned, stretching while the two of you were walking to your place. She was surprisingly polite for the rest of the date and-
wait, did I just say date? I meant 'hang out'. Yeah. Suuure you're just 'hanging out' with Eve. Totally.
Anyways, you two had set up a time for her to tutor you, and decided she would tutor you on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. You had complained when she suggested Mondays after school, so she lectured you about your laziness for a few minutes before complying and changing it to Tuesdays.
"So, Eve..why didn't you want me to meet your sisters?"
Eve sighed. "They're just..odd. Proto's not exactly the most sensitive person, and Apple's..Apple."
You turned to her and raised an eyebrow. "Wait, Apple? As in, my brother's friend Apple?"
Eve gave you a look. "Your brother is friends with my sister?" Eve looked down, muttering to herself before chuckling. This made you very, very nervous. "Well, that explains why I saw my sister with your brother at the mall."
"At least they left when I dragged you into GameStop." you shrugged. Eve giggled.
"Apple's never been one for video games. I mean, she'll play Animal Crossing and Pokemon, and sometimes Harvest Moon, but she doesn't have the patience for games like that."
"Life-Simulation Games?"
"Yeah. I usually have to help her through most of it, since she likes to skip things," Eve sighed and shook her head. "And then I get impatient with her and we start arguing.."
"I didn't know you played video games."
Eve shrugged. "It didn't seem important at the time. Anyways, we're almost to you house and..hey, what's the time?"
You pulled out your phone. "It's...7:38, why?"
Eve squeaked. "Oh! I have to go! I'm going to be late.."
"Late? Late for what?"
"I-It's none of your business!" she snapped, handing you a piece of paper. "B-Bye [Name]!" Eve took off in the other direction before you could say anything.
Damn, she runs fast.. you thought, walking towards your apartment building. You kept your head down and opened the elevator.
AND LO' AND FUCKIN' BEHOLD, THERE STOOD ADD AND A CHICK WITH PINK HAIR.
You were pretty sure that was Apple, but you didn't say anything, you just sighed and moved to the side. Apple smiled at you.
"Ah, hello! You must be [Name], the girl/boy that went out with Eve, right?"
"I-It wasn't a date.." you replied, shuffling your feet. Apple giggled.
"I ship it. Well, Add, shall we?"
"Yup. Oh, [Name], Taro, or 'bro' made mac n' cheese, so you've got dinner."
"Did he become Gordon Ramsey?"
Add laughed and nodded. "It was pretty fun dangling the cheese packet-"
"Add." Apple, nudged him, her face getting red. You gave them a look and shrugged. You've been shrugging a lot lately since you got home. It's weird. Stop it.
Add waved. "Well, we should get going, I gotta get Apple home. See ya." the two walked out, leaving you to step inside the elevator and go home.
When you opened the door, you glanced around to make your your evil brother wasn't waiting in the shadows to jump you and tickle you or some shit like that. But no one was there. You shut the door and put your bag on the counter, sighing at the relief it brought to your shoulders.
"My wittle [Namey-Wamey]'s grown up~!" you groaned when you felt arms wrap around you and squeeze you tightly. You let out a shriek and kicked behind you.
"LET ME GO YOU FUCKING FROG-HEADED BAGEL!"
"'Frog-Headed Bagel'? Really, my dear sister/brother?"
"Shut it you! Lemme down, I want my mac n' cheese!"
Taro laughed. "Fiine." He let go and you walked to the kitchen, putting your hand above the pot to see how warm they were. For some miraculous reason, it was still pretty warm, so you filled a bowl full. You could feel Taro watching you, so you decided to use this time to bug him.
"So..why were Add and Apple here?"
"Oh, Apple and my dearest Add were here after we got done stalking the two of you."
"Sounds like fun."
Taro giggled. "It was."
You rolled your eyes and sat down with your laptop and your food, logging onto Solace Online. You smiled when you saw that Mimu and Chung were on.
Tamoshiru: Ooh Christ I'm so tired.
Kurukitu: So how was the date with Ice Queen?
Tamoshiru: She was actually pretty nice. It went well, but there was this weird chick there, and my brother and his posse decided to stalk us
Mimukara: Who's the Ice Queen?
Tamoshiru: It's a nickname Chung thought up for a girl at our school. She's really serious and a hard worker, but she barely talks to anyone.
Kurukitu: Don't get me wrong, I like her, but she can be really really cold sometimes.
Mimukara: Oh. Well, let's talk about fun things. I just got back from a date~!
Tamoshiru: OOOH SHIT GURL
Kurukitu: DEETZ. I WANT DEETZ.
Mimukara: To them, it probably wasn't a date though..
Kurukitu: Listen here woman, anyone'd be lucky to date your beautiful ass.
Tamoshiru: Amen.
Mimukara: I'm flattered, Miss Kuru.
Kurukitu: EXCUSE ME
Kurukitu: I AM A MRS.
Tamoshiru: SHE DIDN'T MEAN IT MISS CALM DOWN
Kurukitu: YOU DID IT TOO
Kurukitu: HOW DARE YOU
Mimukara: MAI BBY I'M SORRY!
Kurukitu: Oh okay :D
Tamoshiru: *facepalm*
Mimukara: I'm pretty sure you just put a marriage counselor out of business
Kurukitu: But..but how?
Tamoshiru: With your beautiful baby blues.
Mimukara: Bishies love the baby blues.
Taro came up behind you and poked your shoulder, causing you to groan. "Already?"
"Mmmhm. Hurry up, get ready for bed."
"But Taroooooo..."
"But [Naaaaaaaame]."
"Fine. I'll get off."
Taro ruffled your hair and went upstairs. You sighed and began to type.
Tamoshiru: I gotta go.
Kurukitu: BUTBUT
Mimukara: Mai bby nuuu DX
Tamoshiru: I'll be back tomorrow, I think XD
Kurukitu: Oh please, I'll see you at school tomorrow.
Tamoshiru: Yep. So shoosh.
Mimukara: I wish I went to school with you guys .w.
Tamoshiru: Where do you go to school at
Mimukara: I go to school in Velder..but I can't tell you which school. Parent rules DX
You froze. Velder. There are two schools in Velder, but that means..
Mimukara is definitely close to you. Closer than you or Chung thought.
So! Who can guess who Mimukara is? It's honestly kinda easy if you think about it..
If this chapter didn't give it away, I don't know what did. But, keep your speculations to yourself, but you can bet on it. Or PM me with who you think it is. Because I will give a shout-out to whoever gets it first.
Chapter 8 will be up...whenever. I don't know yet. Digital Mask is going to have three parts: each longer than the last. So yeah, have fun with this!
