"I wonnnn!" Neteyam yelled in victory.
"Congratsulations.. again." Kiri and Lo'ak torted as their oldest brother has just won yet another UNO match. He danced as he felt the blood of a victor go through his veins.
"You two suck so bad it's hilarious." He laughs some more.
"Okay ha ha we get it bro." Lo'ak says as he had his palm against his cheek. They've played for more than ten rounds now, planning on who would do this week's dishes and laundry. Successfully, it wasn't going to be Neteyam.
Their parents were on a date night by themselves today and would come home late at night. So of course the Sully siblings were playing cards in the living room as they already put Tuk into bed. And obviously Neteyam was winning.
"I'll have to text 'Nung about this, he'll laugh so bad." He torted. The two just rolled their eyes.
"I'll... pick the cards up." Kiri says as she gets up to pick them.
"Wait wait! There's another game which we can for once and for all settle this with!"
They both start to look at him.
"It's called the plumber man."
"That's a stupid name for a game?" Lo'ak says.
"Yeah bet it's not even real." Kiri adds.
"Do you wanna try to win or not?" Neteyam lifts his eyebrows.
They look at eachother. They really didn't want to wash any dirty dishes this week.
"Fine, what is it?" They ask. Neteyam looks at them for a bit. Biting his lip as he tried to contain his joyful smile. He picks the cards up to his hand, onto a nice pile. He brings the cards closer to his siblings.
"Okay... the game rules are..." He comes just a tiny bit closer.
"The losers pick the cards!" He yells as he throws the whole card pile into the air, making them scatter everywhere on the floor. Neteyam was the real devil in disguise. The two look speechless as Neteyam laughed like a villain as he picked his phone up to call Aonung, walking up the stairs to his bedroom chatting already about how he won again.
Few seconds go by as they sit on the livingroom sofa in silence.
"Oh he's going down." Kiri says as she picks the colorful cards into her hands. Lo'ak comes to help as well. He nods in agreement.
"Definately! ....what do you have in mind?"
Kiri laughs like a maniac as she switches on the black marker on the table while putting the cards back onto the package. "I have few ideas."
"Lo'ak I swear to god your breathing is going to wake this whole house."
"I wasn't breathing?"
"Your nostrils are literally the size of two grapes, calm it down or he'll twitch."
"Neteyam never twitches in his sleep, he sleeps like a.. deathly sick victorian child."
They hold the marker closer and closer to his cheek. Lo'ak's hand was shaking.
"Oh gimme it!"
"No! I can do this!"
"You will fucking ruin it!"
"It's just the nerves!"
"Just do the tip and I'll do the rest."
"Oh I'm sorry which one of us was the man again?"
"Not you?"
"Dude that's uncalled for?!"
"Just shut up and give me the marker!" Kiri yanks it out of his hand. As she prepares her nerves to relax as she finishes the piece.
"Done." She looks smugly at her masterpiece. Lo'ak approves.
"You should add more hair though." Kiri looked disgusted. "Ew how much hair do you guys have?!"
Lo'ak rolls his eyes as he takes the pen back. Now more steady than before, adding few strikes as he kept grinning.
"And this will come off?"
Lo'ak nodds as he starts to read the text on the marker obvilious. "Yeah it says it right here on the--"
..
..
..
"On the what?"
..
"On what Lo'ak?"
"On the-- on the permanent marker.."
..
"Shit."
Kiri takes a wet wipe from next to him, trying to gently wipe the thing off as she tries it on herself. They lift their gazes at eachother as they've just realized what they've done
They just used a fucking permanent marker on their anger issued, short tempered big brother. Not to mention on what they drew.
(couple minutes of aggressive swiping later)
"Shit."
"It's not coming off."
"This is bad."
"You don't say!?"
"Don't yell or he'll wake up!"
"You're yelling yourself!"
"Shut up!"
"You shut up!"
"Niños? Qué está pasando?"
"Nothing!" They yell in union.
Shit.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
"We can't just leave him like this though?!"
"Kiri we will have to go to school in fifty mintues, you think we're able to fix this in that time!?"
"I don't want him to wake up!"
"BRO I am NOT killing Neteyam."
Eyeroll. "Not literally Lo'ak."
"Whatever, we're gonna have to go. Mamá will soon notice our absence."
Sigh.
"He's going to kill us."
"He will."
Fuck.
"Come to eat already!"
"Okay mamá!" They yell again in unison.
..
"Are you sure you two are alright, why are you speaking in unison?"
They look at eachother, Lo'ak was shitting bricks so Kiri had to take it over.
"No I swear it's nothing mom, we're coming."
Neytiri backs down on the stairs, walking back to the kitchen to continue breakfast.
"We have to go."
"Fuck... alright."
They exit the room like nothing had happened and walked down the stairs. Lo'ak more robotically not being able to act suddenly.
"You're going to blow our cover." Kiri whispers.
"I can't help it! I feel like we did a crime!"
Kiri looked unsure yet covered with a fake-confident look. "He deserved it."
"I think we went too far.."
"Check yourself, we're going through with this!"
Lo'ak grunts and mumbles of having regrets.
A thud.
The duo freezes as Neytiri brings the breakfast on the table. Lo'ak shook in his boots as he held the spoon, the spoon clattering against the table as he was about to astronomically implode of regret.
Another thud.
...
...
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Now even Neytiri freezes. She looks at the two lost puppies on the table, trying to avade her gaze. She looked disappointed.
Loud thuds and thumps coming closer as Neteyam runs downstairs only his pyjama sweatpants on, braids messy and a very nasty mark on his face. He was furious. VERY furious. The two shivered in their seats as Neteyam was about to commit homicide on them. Walking intimidatingly to the two, before Neytiri stepping in between. Holding a hand to stop him.
"Qué está pasando? Y qué tienes en la cara?" (What's going on? And what do you have on your face?)
"Esas zorras (Those b*tches) drew a dick on my face!" As he pointed at the very messy but clear drawing of a small penis on the side of Neteyam's cheek. Neytiri's mouth dropped a bit open as she examined it. Neteyam was mad.
Neytiri covered her eyes as she lowered her head.
A chuckle.
..
Another chuckle.
"Mamá are you laughing!?" Neteyam criticized.
"I'm sorry cariño it's just--" She tried to hold it a bit before trying to collect herself. The siblings were so confused.
"It is very immature of your siblings; but after last night, estabas pidiendo que ocurriera." (You were asking for it to happen.) As she covered from her small fit of laughter.
"How!?"
Neytiri about to open her mouth before Neteyam's alarm hits. He groans loudly. "Now I will be late for school because of this shit those two did!"
Neytiri tuts her tongue. "Cuidado, you will make it, just wear a hoodie for the day, I will drop by the grocery store with Tuk today to buy an effectuve marker remover."
As she pats his fiery head while exiting the kitchen to go wake up her husband and Tuk. Neteyam was steaming with anger. He takes it as he glares at the two who flinch. Pointing at them.
"After school, you two are dead." They shiver in their boots yet again as Neteyam struts back upstairs to go dress up and be ready for school.
Kiri and Lo'ak look at eachother.
"Well that went pretty well."
"Are you kidding?! He's going to kill us Kiri!!"
Kiri rolls her eyes again. "Irony, Lo'ak."
He blinks as he realises the joke.
"Oh."
They're fucked.
