I got it

Laurent put his car in park and reached into the back seat to collect the two designer bags he had picked up from the sneaker store and exited the vehicle. He put his wallet in the back pocket of his grey gym sweats and pushed the alarm button on his key chain to lock the car.

Laurent then walked up the driveway towards the large metalic front door of his and Larry's apartment and reached for the handle, but before he could even place the key in the lock, the door swung open towards the outside and nearly knocked him in the head, luckily he had cat-like reflexes and swerved out of the way. Laurent looked up and saw a very sweaty version of himself staring back at him.

Lau: "yo! What the fuck man?"

Larry: "oh shit, sorry"

Larry looked at his twin brother with an apologetic look and then gently ushered him inside the house. Noticing the two designer bags Laurent was carrying, he reached his hand out to grab them but Laurent resisted.

Lau: "nah, I got it"

Larry could see that Laurent was a little pissed at him for nearly killing him with the door but he was exited to see what his brother brought him so he reached for the bags again, this time with a cute smile on his face to try an apease his brother.

Larry: "Just let me help you, I wanna see"
.......

Earlier...

After Larry heard the engine of Laurent's car cut out, he immediately dropped everything, phone, towel and thought process as he rushed upstairs towards the door. He had bolted forward and pushed the door with so much force that he nearly decapitated his twin, but even that realisation couldn't stop the excited look on his face when he confirmed that his new limited edition sneakers were finally here.

Presently...

Lau: "I said I got it, why are you such a freak for sneakers?"

Larry pouted slightly at his brothers resistance and watched as he placed the bags on the far end of the kitchen table and took a seat at the marbled island.

Larry: "Jordon's are not sneakers, they are my life"

Larry stated this matter of factly.

Laurent scoffed at his brothers dramatics and rolled his eyes, then he turned the sass up to about three hundred.

Lau: "Damn Larry, and here I thought I was your life"

Larry knew what his brother was doing. He knew that Lau was being rediculous just to tease him but something in his mind and in his heart sensed a slight feeling of sadness coming from his twin. He didn't know weather he was imagining it or if he was reading too much into their silly banter, but when he looked at Laurent he noticed him scratching his left thumb, which was a sure sign that something was on his mind.

Larry could read Laurent like a book and knew that even his smallest movements could mean something huge. Larry stepped forward, having forgotten about the sneakers and his earlier texts, now focusing only on Laurent.

Larry: "did something happen?"

Laurent looked surprised for about a quarter of a second, until he resigned to their twin connection. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then turned his body fully towards his brother.

Lau: "Nah, I just don't like how you always care about everything else more than me"

Larry stared at his twin and for a moment nearly burst out laughing at the unexpected comment, but then he saw a fire in his twins eyes, a fire he only sees one of two times... When he's really mad or when he's about to murder an opponent on the dance floor.
