Beat It

In the morning the siblings found themselves sleeping on each other, and the TV off, "Ryan?" Ryder snuggled his big brother's lap wrapping an arm around his waist, "yeah?" Ryan asked, "can we do this again sometime?" Raven's head was on his chest, Ryan smiled weaving his hand in his sisters hair, "yeah anytime you guys want," Ryan placed a gentle kiss on her head.

"I still don't understand, why were they different from you if you guys grew up together," Richard stretched not wanting to talk about his cousins and their lack of childhood first thing in the morning, but Derek wanted to, it ate away at his heart to know that the siblings didn't have a normal childhood.

Richard yawned, "they were always studying and working, our grandparents took after uncle and aunty passed,  they felt it wrong to do so since they company would've crumbled if not for aunty," Richard put on his pants and looked back at his friend to ask, "you ok?" Derek let out a breath, "yeah, I'm going to get ready to leave."

Ryan walked out of the tall building awaiting his newly made friend, and there he was, wearing a green opened checkered jacket, with a white vest under, black ripped Jean's with sneakers, and a pair of sunglasses that sat on his face making him look cool.

"Did you have fun last night?" Derek opened his door and got into his car as Ryan joined in the passenger seat.

Before getting to speak Derek drove off, "Raven doesn't like the pineapple on pizza but Ryder adores it, they also really like the little mermaid, I do too, but why did the villain get stabbed like that? I thought it was a kids movie." Ryan was deeply disturbed by how brutally Ursula died. "I  know she wanted to take over the ocean and kill Ariel and her family but besides all of that, I really liked her."

As he talked Derek couldn't help feeling extremely happy and wore a huge smile, and laughed at some of Ryan's comments. "She had sass and pizazz, and she really loved the eels, Ursula equals best girl, and her song!?" Ryan a was in pure awe, "her song has to be the best villain song ever, her vocal amazing and the way she just messes with Ariel, I love her." Ryan realized he was rambling, he cleared his throat acting like he wasn't just being a fanboy for the infamous disney villain.

"But yeah, why kill her like that?" Derek chuckled at the adorable behavior of Ryan.

"A lot of disney movies have some sort of dark side to them, kids just hardly pay attention to them," Derek said.

"Oh we also watched Cinderella, Raven hated it,"  Ryan said, "why?" Derek asked, "she said it's because there's no real love connection in the movie, there's no such thing as true love or love at first sight," Ryder said.

Derek frowned a bit, "do you believe that?" Ryan nodded, thinking it was common knowledge that love at first sight doesn't exist, "you can't fall in love with someone by just looking at them, or dancing with them, or because of their feet size," Derek stayed silent, "you can feel the connection with someone, even if it's just a platonic."

Not enjoying the awkward silence Ryan spoke up asking, "what's the agenda for today?" Ryan asked, "well I assume you never went to a school so, that's where we are going,"  Derek said offending Ryan, "uh, I did go to middle and high school and did three years of college so," Ryan said as a flex.

A big smile was placed onto Derek's face which worried Ryan, "why are you smiling like that?" Ryan asked, "you'll see."

"No no, you have to color it a pretty color," a little boy said taking the dark green crayon from Ryan and handed him a light  lue crayon, "oh thanks you,"Ryan said smiling and coloring the mermaid tail, "how do you color inside the lines?" Ryan asked admiring how the little boy kept inside the lines.
