Nong'Chili 🌶️🌵 Phi'Cactus (TulMax / MaxTul) - FF

#10 - Sleeping Arrangements!

"You both mind telling me what the hell is going on?" Tul asked. His hands folded across his chest he looked sternly at the sullen Bhu who was trying his best to disappear between the sofa cushions while Mew was flitting around the room checking out the various curios and photo frames.

He was curiously looking at the blue yin yang pot which was placed in one corner of the living room on a tall wrought iron potholder stand.

~A/N~ I couldn't find any pic with a Chili 🌶️ and Cactus 🌵 plant in a YinYang pot. So this will have to do 🙄
Unless I plant my own 😁

"And don't you dare touch them." Tul warned.

"That's a strange combination you have there. A Cactus and a Chili!" Mew exclaimed looking at his brother. "And why the hell are they in a yin yang pot?"

"Because...!" Tul sputtered. He was not yet ready to explain to his brother why he had got a yin yang pot for his precious 2 plants and what they signified for him. For him it was a Max Tul thing, and he was not yet ready to share his thoughts with anyone else about it. "Look stop trying to change the subject. First you tell me what the hell are you doing here?"

"That's simple. I saw Bhu sneakily buy a plane ticket. I got curious and so I followed him." Mew looked pleased with his explanation as he looked from Tul to Bhu and back. "You can now ask him why he suddenly came running to you."

Tul rolled his eyes knowing very well there was no way he could ever win against his smartass of a big brother. There was hardly a couple of year's difference between him and Mew. And yet sometimes it would feel like Mew was the younger one.

But before Tul could grill Bhu about his sudden presence in Woody Lake Valley, the doorbell chimed.

"I will get that." Mew called out.

"That would be Max!" Tul exclaimed.

"Can somebody tell me who is Max?" Bhu asked.

"His lover!" Mew chortled with a wink at Tul.

"My neighbor!" Tul exclaimed at the same time and then glared at Mew.

Mew threw the door open to find a young boy on the doorstep.

Putter opened his mouth to greet, thinking it would be Tul who would open the door but seeing his favorite idol standing holding the door open had him frozen to the spot with his mouth hanging open.

"Hi!" Mew said flashing a brilliant smile at the boy.

"Hi!" Putter replied in shock. "Mewww...! P'Mew!" He squealed in excitement finally finding his voice.

"Let me help you with that." Mew said extending his hand to take the two huge stackable tiffin boxes from the youngster's hand.

"That's okay. He can take it inside. Ter move will you." Great said looking at Mew with a smile and exchanging greetings.
