Sorry, Luke, but your brother beat you to it. Asch is leaning against the wall, just off to the side, raising an eyebrow as his twin grumbled and griped right next to him.

"It was an actual letter for once, not a howler," he spoke up, waiting for the expect surprised screech.

[not_a_dreck]

And oh, did he get one. The younger twin nearly jumps out his skin when he hears that familiar smug tone right behind him.

"Gah! What th- ... You bastard! You were lurking there the whole time?" He barks out at him. His brother has obviously been around Slytherins too long. He was growing creepier and creepier each time they met. "Tch, was it now? And just what did he say?" Seriously, what magic words did father use to make Asch stop hollering at him for two seconds.

I picked the wrong night to catch up on tags.

[not_the_dreck]

Asch had to fight back an amused snort. Luke, you made it too easy sometimes. He waited for his brother to chill before he answered, shoving his hands in his pockets as he looked away.

"...it wasn't what he said so much as how he said it. He didn't send a howler for once."

And I picked the wrong week to make so many thread XD

Luke crossed his arms looking a little guarded as he listened though it didn't take much to make his guard fall. So his strange mood is reaching even outside of the manor. Shifts awkwardly and frowns. Yes, their father's new gentle approach to things had Luke a bit unsettled.

"He was really worried about mother this time, she... was pretty bad this time and we just wanted her to be comfortable. He's been very quiet lately..." He glances down feeling that slight chill of dread he had been feeling during his stay in the manor.

Shakes his head to brush that feeling off. "A-anyway, what... what did you want to talk about?"

XD

[not_the_dreck]

"Hn..." Asch acknowledged softly, looking even more uncomfortable than he was already. It had been easy saying all this to Jaina, but to Luke...?

"I'm... not ready for it," he finally continued. "I'm not ready to try to have a family again. It doesn't feel right for me."

and y aren't u invis on aim? 8|

[not_a_dreck]

Luke blinked before his frown deepened and his eyes narrowed. "So basically... You made a scene and shouted at me just to get me alone and tell me... you want nothing to do with me?"

Fist clench and eyes fall shut. "You should of saved yourself the trouble. You had already made that message clear."

I'm trying to convince myself to stop tagging and go to bed. XDDD

[not_the_dreck]

"I'm not saying that, dammit! Let me finish!" Asch snapped, shooting him an irate look.

"I'm not ready to go home... but... I can at least try to get along with what I've got right here... no matter how much I want to shove your head in a toilet sometimes."

You know you're powerless to resist the crack XD

[not_a_dreck]

Well talk after then! He wants to shout back but resisted.

Opens his eyes again after taking a deep breath. "Gee, thanks." Grumbles but he can't say the feeling wasn't mutual. "Why the sudden change of heart? I've been telling you this for 5 years now..." Gives him a suspicious look wondering if this was all some kind of sick joke on his part.

Not really. *smashing into bed after this tag*

[not_the_dreck]

"...I've had a lot to think about... and a little help with the thinking," he replied softly.

*F-fell asleep ... sleep was prolly a good idea.* Grr faster^ not after!

[not_a_dreck]

"Tch, about time you did even a little thinking." Luke murmured and turned his face away form the boy. "Couldn't of thought to write to mother at least once?"

I probably fell asleep not long before you, so... fffft

[not_the_dreck]

"I didn't know until yesterday because SOMEONE never sent an owl telling me what the hell was going on."

Yes, Luke, that's still your fault.

Prolly, you lightweight.

[not_a_dreck]

"Well I was kind of in a rush. Plus I figured father sent you a letter when he sent me one. When you didn't respond I just thought you wanted nothing to do with us as usual." Luke says with an attempt at a casual shrug. Of course thinking his brother didn't give a crap had bugged him to know end but he wasn't about to let him know that.

I know. :<

[not_the_dreck]

"He didn't send me a letter about it," he replied dryly, glaring at his brother. "The last letter he sent me was before prom."

[not_a_dreck]

Okay, that wasn't expected. That may have made him feel a little sorry for not sending one himself. "I told you. Things were pretty bad back home. I'm sure he had meant to." He mutters irritably running his hand through his hair.

[not_the_dreck]

Asch sighed faintly, looking away. "Look, the point is, I'm not ready to deal with this whole 'family' thing after believing I didn't have it anymore for so long. But I can at least... try to ease my way back into it."

He paused a moment, before glaring at Luke. "Don't make me regret that, dreck."

[not_a_dreck]

Luke halfheartedly glared back. "Me? If anything, you're the one that takes getting used to now." His shoulders slumped. "You changed a lot..." His frown deepens but he looks more saddened than annoyed.

"But, alright... I suppose trying couldn't hur-" Wait, this is Asch. Which means it was going to hurt a hell of a lot. "So... does this mean you're going to stop hitting me?"
