For Nida, it was just another day. Another perfectly normal, mundane, boring day, but it was a day he and his brother had agreed to spend together at the mall to buy birthday gifts for their father. So when it looked like Aden had decided to stand him up in favour of an extended stay in SLEEPYTOWNE, Nida got a little annoyed.

God, what time was it? Nearly 11? How could people even sleep that late? Lazy good for nothing little brother... (Growing up in a military school may have skewed his view on what "waking up late" meant, just a little bit.)

Nida went to Aden's door and banged on it. "Hey, lazy-ass," he called through it. "Get the hell up, already."

Ah, brotherly love~

starredjack August 9 2010, 03:34:55 UTC

Oh crap. Kukai knew that voice. Of all the homes to be stuck in... it had to be go-getter Nida's. But if he was in Nida's house... and Nida was mad at him for being late... Did that mean that he was Aden?

"Heh," Kukai laughed softly. "When I said I wanted to meet Aden, this wasn't exactly what I meant." He paused, taking in that voice. It was deeper! Huh. Guess Aden was older than Kukai thought.

So... what now? Admit the truth to Nida? Or fake an illness and hope to get out of it? Kukai did what every other guy would: he'd wing it! And hope to dear God that Nida wouldn't notice.

"I'm up, I'm up," Kukai called, scrambling out of bed and hastily - but clumsily - putting on a shirt and jeans. "Okay?"

wwiiflyingace August 9 2010, 03:41:38 UTC

Eeeeye rooooll. "Hurry up, I don't have all damn day to wait on you." And he went out to the living room. To...wait on Aden.

Jeez at this point he should've just gone by himself.

starredjack August 9 2010, 03:45:13 UTC

Well, damn! Kukai took maybe about ten minutes (it would've been five, but he couldn't even find the facewash and let's not even get into the hair gel) to get dressed.

Hurriedly, he ran into the living room. "I'll just have a granola bar," He called as he... walked into the wrong room. HE KNOWS WHERE THE KITCHEN IS, HE SWEARS! But he did get that granola bar eventually! And it was pretty tasty too!

wwiiflyingace August 9 2010, 03:54:10 UTC

"From the den?" Nida called after him as he walked into the wrong room.

Nida just...stared, as Aden lost his way in their own house and fumbled around in search of food. Jeez, this kid. And he thought the real Aden was bad.

When he was finally finished, Nida stood from his seat on the couch and pulled his keys out of his pocket. "Are you ready yet or are you gonna waste some more time first?"

starredjack August 9 2010, 04:03:55 UTC

This "pretending to be someone else" was harder than it looked. Especially when he didn't know the first thing about this guy except that he was Nida's little brother... and he... uh... what did he like to do, exactly? (This was going to be a fun day.)

Nodding, Kukai managed a grin as he gave Nida the thumbs-up. "Let's go! Seize the day and all that, right?"

wwiiflyingace August 9 2010, 04:06:49 UTC

Nida arched an eyebrow.

"Are you drunk or something?"

starredjack August 9 2010, 04:11:16 UTC

Dr-drunk? Man, he was thirteen years old. Not even the kids in juvie did that at thirteen!

"Nooooo?" Kukai awkwardly said after five minutes of complete silence. "I'm just excited because uh..." Think, Kukai, think! "There's a new book coming out!" He finally said with as much enthusiasm as he could muster. "And we've totally gotta get it! Right?"

... Please say that Aden likes books. Please, God, let Aden like reading! Otherwise, the ship will have finally sailed.

wwiiflyingace August 9 2010, 04:14:42 UTC

Nida's expression only grew more incredulous.

There were no words.

No words were needed.

starredjack August 9 2010, 04:21:10 UTC

The freaking ship just had to sail without him. Kukai's face fell. What the heck was he supposed to say? 'Haha whoops turns out that I don't like reading anymore?'

He couldn't just give up now! What could he say? Was there any hope?

"... If you're not gonna go," Kukai sighed ruefully. "Then I'm just gonna go without you." (The question 'what were they doing?' never seemed to occur to him.)

wwiiflyingace August 9 2010, 04:25:03 UTC

Thankfully Nida unintentionally threw him a bone. "Did you forget about Dad's birthday? Or are you just fucking with me?"

starredjack August 9 2010, 04:27:09 UTC

Dad's.. birthday? Kukai, thank god, wasn't an idiot, so he put two and two together.

"Just messing with you," Kukai cheekily grinned, again giving Nida a thumbs-up. "Come on, bro! You know I'd never get Dad's gift without you."

wwiiflyingace August 9 2010, 04:32:06 UTC

Man what was with that thumbs-up he kept doing? Where did he pick that up in the past 12 hours? Aden was acting really strange this morning and Nida was not sure what to think.

Giving his brother one more skeptical look, he led the way out the door to the car parked in the driveway.

starredjack August 9 2010, 04:37:33 UTC

Saved for the moment! Kukai sighed of relief as he followed Nida to the car.

He fiddled for his phone as he climbed into the passenger seat. Finding it in his pocket, Kukai fiddled with the contents. ... Huh, no communication network. If he wanted to say "help me, I'm stuck with Mr. Grumpyface"... he'd have to steal Nida's phone. At this rate? It was never going to happen.

"You think Dad'd want one of those new grilling kits? Or even those car jacks for MP3 players?"

wwiiflyingace August 9 2010, 04:45:37 UTC

Okay. Nida knew by now what an MP3 player was, but he didn't know whether or not their father actually had one. Better not betray his own ignorance there. Go for the safe option.

With a practiced ease that was actually more pilot's intuition than practice, he shifted the car into reverse and backed it out of the driveway. "I was thinking we could spring to get him a new arc welder. Since you broke his old one being a dumbass, and all."

starredjack August 9 2010, 04:51:48 UTC

Jeez, Nida, what language! Not that Kukai wasn't used to it - this is why America has cable television - but still. It was different. So Kukai stared.

"What? You know I didn't mean to!" Nevermind that he didn't know what an arc welder was. He'd pretend he did for the sake of this conversation. Slumping into his seat, Kukai frowned, "And don't call me that."
