"Mituna!" Sollux practically screamed as he returned to the small appartment the two brothers shared. The normally clean kitchen had spilled liquids and foods like the older brother couldn't decide, in addition to the broken plate on the floor near the sink. Sollux was in his last year of middle school, Mituna in his last year of highschool. While Sollux was 14 and had the brains and maturity of a 30 year old computer programmer, Mituna was 18 and had the brains and maturity of a 10 year old brat.
Said brother ran into the kitchen where the fuming teenager stood, waving hyperly at him. "Hi Tholluxth! You're home!" He giggled and ran back into probably the boy's bedroom. Sollux followed not to far behind, sticking his foot in the doorway and stopping the closing door.
"What.. the hell... happened.. in the kitchen?" Sollux growled through his teeth as he threw the door open, walking over to the taller boy now returning to his video game.
Half of the appartment's rent was paid by the government due to them having no money after their father never returned and thus disappeared. Before Mituna was 18, the government paid all of it, but the coming of age into adulthood meant Mituna had to get a job and pay for it at least half of it. Mituna though, could barely keep a job for more then two days at the most due to his mental disabillity. Sollux had to stand up and lie about his age to keep the appartment, working for a computer store and barely earning enough.
Mituna smiled up at his brother, pausing the game. "I made thome thpathpetti for you! I ate thome and put it in the fridge, I think I did good!" he giggled innocently, and Sollux's angry face soften and he sighed.
"Thankth.. I guethh. Yeah you did good." he smirked and playfully ruffled the fluffy tangled mess on his older brother's head, known as his hair. This earned a whine and a smack to the hand, and Sollux laughed as he exited the room. He might as well start on cleaning the horrifying state of the kitchen up, and then maybe eat whatever the heck Mituna ended up making.
Mituna was left in their bedroom, continueing his video game happily. After a while, his cell phone rang and he groaned, pausing the game again and picking the phone up. It was a wonder the boy knew how to mess with the tiny thing, opening it up and seeing he got a text message.
"HOW'S MY MOTHERFUCKIN BRO DOIN'? :O)" Mituna giggle as he saw the message from his friend, Kurloz. He quickly replied, his typing on the small keyboard chaotic.
"KURL0Z5! H11! H4PPEY 7H4NK55!1" he quickly sent it with a smile, earning yet another beep.
"NICE. ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY TO MEENAH'S PARTY? IT'S A MOTHERFUCKIN MESS WITHOUT YA, BRO. ;O)" Mituna blinked and looked his phone's clock, reading it as 7:12. He stood up and walked out of the room, heading for the kitchen and Sollux. He saw his younger brother with his laptop, hurridly typing and eating the not soft yet not hard spagetti Mituna had made. The noodles were probably put in a bowl of water and stuck in the microwave, but he had to enjoy it.
"Hey Tholluxth?" Mituna called, earning a grunt from his brother. "Kurlozth ith at a party and wanth to know if I can go. Can I? It'th at Meenah'th, I can walk." he explained with a small smile. Sollux nodded.
"I'll come by before midnight to pick you up, you're lucky it'th not a thcool night you little thit." Sollux lisped with a small chuckle waving his hand. "Now get going before I get the broom and hit you on the way out."
Mituna grinned and ran back into the bedroom, yelling a thanks as he pulled on a yellow and black hoodie over his grey t-shirt, running back out and to the door. Once outside, the sun was halfway over the horizon, almost unable to be seen through the cluttered subburb. He pulled out his phone and sent a quick 'on my way' text to his friend and running on the sidewalk. It was only five minutes before he arrived, loud music just under the unbarable level for the neighbors. It made his heart beat faster, slightly annoying him, but he grinned as he knocked on the door and the host opened the door.
"Nice of you to join us Captor, let yourself in!" Meenah said in her New Jersey accent, sweeping a braid off her shoulder and walking back into the house. Mituna wasn't far behind, closing the door behind him and looking for Kurloz. He soon found him and ran up to the curly haired man, waving.
"I'm here Kurlothh!" he yelled and smiled widely as the mute friend smiled back and waved. Mituna didn't mind that Kurloz didn't talk, it took him a while to understand it and even began to find it interesting when the tall dark boy signed his sentences to him, like now.
"Nice of you to join us, bro." Kurloz signed and waved his hand for Mituna to follow him. Mituna did, being led to the living room where many more of his friends were laughing and talking. He smelled alcohol and scrunched his nose. He sat down on the couch to where Kurloz was seated next to his deaf girlfriend Meulin. Mituna waved to her with a smile as well. "We've been motherfuckin dieing without you bro, the party don't start until you walk the fuck in" Kurloz sighned and chuckled near the end at his song reference.
Mituna laughed after he finally got it. "Really? Then we fuckkkkin' party!" He giggled and clapped his hands together. Meulin chuckled and Kurloz bro fisted him in response. A loud clapping noise caught their attention, Meulin turning her head to where everone else was looking. Everyone went quiet as Meenah stood in the middle of everyone, behind her a tough looking boy with dark slicked back hair and smoking a cigarette stood. His hands were stuffed in his pockets of his leather jacket and he had a somewhat smug grin on his face. Mituna frowned at him, not knowing who he was.
"Alright listen up you guppies! This here is Cronus and he's knew to the town, we gotta make him feel at home you hear? He's going to be in our classes too, so no hitting on him because," she chuckled and smirked, pointing to herself, "he's my boyfriend and I'll have your head you know?" Some laughed and some went up to the couple, greeting the new boy who calmly blended in. The party went back to normal except now with talk of the new boy and Meenah's relationship with him.
"He looks like trouble!" Meulin sighned and Kurloz nodded, shrugging a bit.
"Maybe, he might be nice. Who motherfuckin knows? He might become one of our bros." Kurloz signed and Mituna puffed out his cheeks.
"I think he'th thcary... " he muttered, then snickered, "He thucks on that thtick like he would a dick! And it'th thmelling up the room aaaghhhnnnn!" Mituna whined and kicked his feet, holding his head and scrunching his nose. Kurloz placed a hand gently on his shoulder and smiled down at Mituna, who calmed down and forgot about it already and swatted his hand away.
The three continued there conversations normally, Mituna's loud laughter always highlighting it. Soon another joined them, stomping over and plopping beside Mituna with his arms crossed and his face as red as his sweater.
"I can't believe that Cronus! I attempted to introduce myself to him kindly and he was so rude to me! He should be more greatful I was trying to tell him the certain things not to do here so his living here could go more smoothly bu-"
"Hi Kankri!" Mituna shouted and waved with a big grin. Kurloz and Meulin chuckled at his loud and delayed outburst.
"Uh.. Hello Mituna." Kankri blinked at him and smiled a little, sighing. "I see you're all as happy as ever. I can't even believe I was dragged to this party, I had studying to do, yet Porrim refused to leave me and-" He was interupted again by Kurloz sighning something about him and Meulin wanting a drink and getting up to go into the kitchen. He huffed and looked back at Mituna. "Okay then. So how are you toda-"
"I'm doing awethome! I made thpathpetti today by mythelf!" Mituna shouted, cutting Kankri off yet again as he remembered earlier in his house. "Tholluxth ate it tho it had to be good!" he laughed loudly and clapped. Kankri stared at him and chuckled softly.
"You're very funny Mituna.. I think I'll go see where Porrim is, I hope you don't mind." Kankri said and stood up, walking away. Mituna thought nothing of it and looked around to see who was there.
Rufioh seemed to be consoling Horuss, who was freaking out about something small. Damara wasn't far away from them, her outfit suggestive and snickering darkly, as if contemplating some way to attack Horuss for talking to her ex. Latula was talking to Porrim, being joined by Kankri who blushed in the presence of Latula. Aranea wasn't to be seen and neither was Meenah. Mituna concluded they were probably sucking face secretly in some closet. That only left...
"BOO!"
Mituna screamed and fell off the couch. Some heads turned at the loud outburst but continued with there conversations. Mituna glared up at the 'attacker' to find Cronus staring at him with a taunting smirk. "What wath that for you fucking dipthhhit?!" Mituna yelled.
Cronus sat on the couch and nudged you with his foot. "Just havin' some fun, no need to get your panties in a twist." Mituna puffed his cheeks up and stood up, sitting on the couch far away from Cronus as he could. "Hey, why the sour face? I just thought I'd come over and meet you, I've talked to everyone else."
"Maybe I don't want to meet you, cock thucker.." Mituna growled under his breath, crossing his arms. Cronus frowned for a moment before his sly grin reappeared on his face, scooting closer to Mituna.
"You're a funny kid aren't ya? Mental or somethin'? Got dropped on your head?" Cronus continued to verbally assault the boy, poking his arm. Mituna grunted and scooted farther away, staying quiet and muttering curses. Cronus continued to scoot closer, leaning his head close to appear threatening as he took a drag off his cigarette, blowing the smoke into Mituna's face, who in response coughed and covered his mouth and nose. "Listen here.. I don't like people like you.. Unless you want to be on bad terms with me, I'd advise you to cut the bratty act, kid."
"Get away from me..." Mituna muttered, and shrinked in his seat, hoping to find a way to escape. Cronus smirked darkly and tilted his head, his eyes squinting.
"I'm sorry, what was that? I think I should go tell Meenah how much you're disrespectin' me, don't think she'll like that, oh no.." Cronus hissed, making Mituna flinch.
Mituna looked down and instead of because he threatened to tell Meenah, he could care less about that, he felt bad that he apparently disrespected the larger man. "I'm thorry..." he sighed and frowned.
Cronus smiled and stood up, ruffling Mituna's hair who didn't do anything. "I didn't catch your name kid. I think you know mine, if your head comprehended my girl's sweet speech about me."
"Mituna.." He said, then whined and finally swatted at the hand that was still on his head. Cronus took his hand away and nodded, walking away and waving his hand.
"See ya around then, chief." He called, walking into the kitchen to probably get a drink. Mituna huffed and jumped when Kurloz sat down next to him, eyes wide.
"Hey bro, was that motherfucker messin with ya? Or," Kurloz started to sign but then stopped, thinking a moment before continuing, "Was he cool? You let his motherfuckin hand stay on you longer than I've ever seen anyone ever able to." Kurloz smirked.
Mituna blinked and tilted his head, his face showing signs of confusion. "What? Well I don't know..." he huffed and glared at the kitchen. "I hate him.. He'th tho mean like Kankri thaid! He wath all, oh you tho thtupid and ngnggghaaah I hate him tho much!" Mituna was yelling now and Kurloz waved his hand to come him down.
"I'll tell Meenah how he was fuckin with you bro, don't worry." Kurloz smiled. "Why don't you forget about him and enjoy the party? I hear Meenah's bustin out the alchohol man."
"I'm not one for alchohol... thorry." Mituna scrunched his nose and looked down. "Tholluxth would get mad at me." me muttered, and Kurloz patted his back making Mituna squirm.
"One drink won't motherfuckin hurt bro, come on." Kurloz sighned and got up, waving his hand for Mituna to follow. Mituna groaned and followed like his curly haired friend wanted, to the kitchen.
Once there, Mituna saw Meenah, Aranea, Meulin, and of course Cronus. He glared at the greaser, who in return smiled oily. Kurloz signed something to Meenah and she frowned at first, but then smirked and nodded. "Sure thing, let me get it for you first, then I'll take care of em."
Meenah went to her fridge and pulled out a couple beers, handing one to Kurloz, then to Mituna, the rest going on the table. After that she pulled Cronus into another room with a stern look on her face.
Mituna stared down at his drink and sighed, opening it and taking a small sip. Kurloz smiled warmly at him and nudged him happily, walking off with Meulin once again, with Aranea along the ride. He was left in the kitchen to quietly take sips from his drink, already feeling his head cloud over with the side affects of alchohol. He giggled to himself, then frowned when he could hear distant yelling from Meenah and what sounded like responses from Cronus trying to slide out of the situation.
A door slammed and Meenah walked back into the kitchen grabbing a beer and heading out, patting Mituna on the shoulder on her way. Mituna stood there confused for a moment, finishing his drink and thowing it in the garbage. A tap on his shoulder made him jump a little and he turned around to see Cronus, who didn't look too happy.
"So you went and tattled eh? You really are a brat." He hissed threw his teeth, glaring daggers into the smaller boy.
Mituna giggled, his slightly drunken state being clear. "I don't know what you're talking about, Cronuth." He tried to walk away, but Cronus held his arm out to stop him, grabbing him by his hood and pulling him back to look Mituna in the eye.
"Listen here you retard, you just nearly cost me a hot girl with your whiny ass. I suggest you cut the act and do me a favor, stop being a little baby you hear?" Cronus growled lowly.
Mituna stared at him and looked down, nodding. "I'm thorry.." he shifted his feet, his apology sincere.
"If you're sorry, get some brains and don't let it happen again." And with that, Cronus let go of the boys hood and stalked away, leaving Mituna to stand and pout, contemplating what he had said.
