Characters: Tommy Shepherd, Billy Kaplan
Prompt: 024. Family.
Word Count: 300
Rating: PG
Summary: Billy is trying to study and Tommy is being annoying.
AN: Tommy is an epheremal muse who comes and goes as he wishes. Also, I hate choosing titles.
Tommy hummed to himself. He was splayed across Billy's bed and gazing up at the ceiling as Billy tried to do his homework. Billy would have kicked him out, only he'd learned a while ago that trying to get rid of Tommy was somewhat like trying to get rid of a particularly affectionate cat. The harder you tried to pry him off, the more stubbornly he clung to you. The best solution, then, was to wait him out. Eventually he'd get bored and wander off to find other things to do.
Although today, his twin was being particularly obstinate.
Okay, forget about him and just concentrate. Right. Tangents.
"Poodle."
Billy blinked and almost turned over to look at Tommy. At the last minute, he remembered his "ignore him" scheme, and managed the turn the movement into a wide stretch-and-yawn maneuver.
"Poodle. Poodle poodle poodle poodle."
Tommy didn't notice.
"Poooooooooooood-"
"Tommy what the hell are you doing?"
Tommy looked over, grinning.
"Poodle! It's a really funny word, isn't it?"
Billy raised an eyebrow.
"Uh-huh."
"No, seriously! Say it!"
Tommy waved his hands animatedly and Billy sighed. He'd already undone a half-hour's worth of ignoring-Tommy-ness, so he may as well.
"Poodle."
Tommy looked at him expectantly.
"See?"
"Poodle. Huh. "
"Isn't it crazy?"
"Yeah, I see what you mean. Wonder why?"
Billy tapped at his lip thoughtfully and Tommy just smirked.
"'Cause it's got the word 'poo' in it. Duh."
"Tommy, you're a five-year-old trapped in a teenager's body."
"Shut up! Think about it!"
Billy rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. I'm trying to study."
Tommy sighed and fidgetted. Great, now all of that time he'd spent getting Billy to relax around him was out the window.
"Look, are you actually getting anything done?"
"With you lying there watching my every move?"
Billy paused, then groaned.
"Not really."
"Wanna go hang out at the arcade?"
"... fine. But you're buying me a burger, moron."
Tommy grinned. Plan "Brotherly-Bonding-Time" was a go.
"Awesome! C'mon, there's not a moment to lose!"
