"Up and attim' big man!"
A pillow to the face woke Toby up with a grunt, "Oi!"
His brother laughed, dodging the pillow that was thrown back at him as Toby sleepily sat up, rubbing his eyes.
The other boy was taller than Toby, despite being a year younger, his grin was infectious, though it was far too bright for this early in the morning. Well, it was around 8 in the morning, but still.
"Tommy it's the weekend, school is tomorrow-" he complained, "let me sleep-"
"Ah, but we have a party tonight! And we need to prepare for it!" the other boy grinned, "You can sleep later! Dad's making breakfast anyways-"
Toby groaned, but got up, "Why did Purpled decide to have a party on a school night anyways?"
Tommy shrugged, "Who knows. But it'll be fun! And there will be women-"
Toby snickered, "Yeah yeah, I'll be right down I guess, and you can tell me why we have to get ready for a party this early-"
"Deal"
Toby got changed, before heading downstairs. He could hear Tommy yell, "Fuck yeah, muffins!" and their mom reprimanding him, though that never deterred the boy from his colorful vocabulary.
The twins were already up, drinking coffee, and eating some freshly baked muffins.
"Mornin-" Toby smiled, going to grab some of the pastries for himself.
Wilbur raised a hand in acknowledgement as he sipped his coffee, Techno only grunted, with only a slight nod towards him. He was even less of a morning person than Toby. For being twins, the two didn't look very similar at a first glance. Wilbur's hair was shorter and curly, and it's natural brown color. Whereas Techno had grown his hair out, and had taken to dying it pink. Their personalities were dissimilar as well in some ways, but they were both fairly introverted. Both were creative and knowledgeable in their own ways as well.
"Morning Toby-" his dad, Phil, grinned at him
He grinned back, grabbing himself muffins and milk before going to sit by Tommy, who was practically inhaling his food.
"You're going to end up choking one of these days-" Will raised an eyebrow and glancing over at his younger brother
Tommy rolled his eyes, but ignored him. Toby chuckled, before Starting in on his own breakfast.
"So Tommy, you mentioned you two were going out for a bit today to get stuff for your party tonight?" Phil said.
The boy paused, then nodded, "Mhm"
"And you'll be back at a reasonable hour for a school night?" Their mom, Kristin, asked, sitting by Phil
"We will try"
"I'll make sure we get home like... before midnight or something!" Toby smiled.
The six of them continued with their breakfast, making small talk and laughing. After putting their dishes in the sink, Tommy and Toby started towards the door. "See you in a bit boys!" Tommy smiled, "try not to get into trouble without us, yeah?"
"Pretty sure that's our line" Techno smirked
"Uh huh, you're one to talk mister hero man-"
"See you later guys-" Toby chuckled, dragging Tommy out after him.
"So is Purpled hosting the party at his place?" Toby asked as the two boys walked
Tommy nodded, "Yeah, he had to get his parents permission after last time-"
