13&14
The slamming door made everyone in the building jump but Ruffnut did not flinch. Snotlout had been chewing his lips all the way home while Ruff sat next to him in the car, deeply focused on her chipping nail polish. He knew she was not the slightest bit sorry and it drove him up the wall.
"Was that necessary?!" he snapped finally, finding some comfort in the privacy of the apartment. He damn well knew if he had said anything on the way, they would either get into a huge fight in the middle of the road or Ruff would say something that would cause him drive the car into a street lamp. He thought Ruff would play coy and drive him mad but the answer came flat and free from emotion.
"Yes."
"Really? Because you're not the one who's gonna deal with this shit later!"
"Not my problem."
"Oh, I'll make it your problem! You couldn't just shut up and ignore, could you?! You know how he is, just let him ramble and think about breakfast or something, it's not that hard, fuck's sake!"
Ruffnut's eyes were finally adopting something other than mild interest. Snot knew why she was pissed but that didn't change anything. His dad was going to give him hell and it was all because Ruff couldn't hold her tongue. Talking back at his father. In the middle of a restaurant. He was hating every single thing about that night, from the shirt he wore to the stupid foreign beer he drank. The young woman, looking down on him, could claim she didn't care but she did. He wanted to admire how her long wild wavy hair fell down to her waist, how the maroon top she had on made her blue eyes pop, how good her long legs looked under the short skirt… He just failed, his body was reacting to something other than her edgy beauty and it did not feel pleasant.
"You may be fine with hunching your shoulders like a fucking bug and let him walk all over you, but I'm not. I don't give a shit about what he thinks of me, the man has been complaining to God about Tuff and I for years, I don't care. But if he's gonna look at me in the eye and tell me I'm 'not good enough to take seriously', he has another thing coming. Be grateful I didn't kick him in the face."
The fucking witch. She left him torn between admiring her obstinance and wanting to punch a hole in a wall. She was impossible.
"I'm not gonna be grateful for anything! You messed this up!"
"You made me go because of your dad; I didn't even want to do THIS in the first place. I don't car-,"
"If you don't care, why couldn't you just SHUT THE FUCK UP?!"
"Newsflash, jackass, I'll never shut up and let some opinionated dude talk shit about me IN FRONT OF ME. I may not be up to his standards but neither are you!"
"WHAT?!"
"He wants 'perfect', doesn't he? Well he's not getting it, so go tell him to take his head out of his ASS bef-"
"ENOUGH!"
Dead silence filled the living room and something heavy and sour fell between them like a heavy blanket. They stared each other like wild animals for a moment before Ruffnut squinted and turned back. Before he could say another word, the door slammed for thesecond time. He heard the neighbor downstairs hitting the ceiling, telling them to shut the hell up.
A/N: Even in Modern AU, I always assume they grew up together thus the parents knew others ever since they were children, which makes 'meeting the parents' a bit irrelevant. But first dinner with a parent as girlfriend/boyfriend works. I don't mean to make Spitelout a huge dickhead but also his perfectionism is nothing new; maybe it was a particularly bad day. Maybe I need to think more on the subject, I don't know. Ignore the ramble, let me now what you think is OOC/out of place. I need opinions.
