Prompt: 100 themes - 046 - Family
Claimer: Mostly mine. But shared with SuperSpecialAwesome!Lori.
Bella and Terrence returned from their honeymoon on a Saturday, to find a motorbike in their driveway and a man with a mullet asleep on their lounge and a white and orange cat asleep on the man with the mullet. Raising their eyebrows at each other, Bella nodded. Terrence poked the cat in the head. Adam yelped as sharp claws dug into his chest.
“You know, Adam, we never said you could live with us.” Bella grins viciously at her husband, who nods back, the hint of a smile playing in his eyes.
Adam looks instinctively stricken at he tone, through the sleepy incomprehension.
“We’re married now, and the house is almost finished, and when we move out of here and in to it, no one said you’d be coming with us. So shouldn’t you have spent the last two weeks apartment hunting-”
“Or better yet, job hunting,” Terrence cuts in.
“-rather than sleeping on our couch?”
“A simple hello would have done,” Adam whines. “A simple, ‘We’re home!’ And a ‘How was it?’ Not a ‘There’s a lazy bum on our couch who should get a job.’ And would you really kick me out?”
“Yes,” Bella says with a certain amount of vindictive pleasure, at the exact moment Terrence says “No.” They look at each other.
“I don’t want to lie to him,” Terrence says bluntly.
Bella rolls her eyes. “Bon, you’re no fun. You’re supposed to let him panic and sweat for a week or so. Watch him run around madly and collect newspapers and those little phone number slips from those posters on the bulletin boards. Then you’re supposed to tell him, all innocent like, that we were only kidding.”
“I don’t want to lie to him,” Terrence says bluntly.
Adam looks from the one to the other, and pulls himself upright. Scratching absently at Jane’s head, he yawns. “Oooh, yure nt ickn be at?”
“In English, please.” Bella snorts.
Adam laughs and tries again. “So, you’re not kicking me out?”
Now it’s Terrence’s turn to roll his eyes. “Adam, you’re family. Of course you’ll be moving with us.”
“Thought you knew that,” Bella grins, sitting down heavily where Adam’s feet had previously been and pulling the still hissing Jane into her lap. Adam looks at Terrence, who nods.
“Thanks guys,” he mutters sheepishly.
“But,” Bella tilts her head and Adam’s eyes widen in foreboding. Terrence’s lips twitch to try and hide a smile. “We weren’t kidding about the job thing.”
Adam’s exaggerated collapse sideways and to the floor is so hilarious that even Terrence takes his time to stop laughing.
