Jackie huffed and plopped down on the couch, having just got home from his hero work. 

Marvin threw himself on the couch more dramatically, laying down with his legs over Jackie's. Jackie had gotten him up at five in the morning to help with work, since he's the only one that COULD partner with Jackie for his job. The magician was starting to regret agreeing to Chase and Henrik's 'twos and threes' plan.

Apparently, Jackie was usually gone for more of the day than they all realized. Luckily, they had plenty of breaks, but that didn't really help much. 

"Ugh... I don't love you no more..." Marvin grumbled, snuggling into a pillow to take a nap. "Aw, come on- you don't mean that, little bro! You have 'Stokholm Syndrome', remember? You love me the most~!" Jackie joked, reaching over to ruffle the other's hair, practically laying on top of him. "UGH- Not anymore, dickface! I've recovered! I don't love you! Get off, fat-ass!"

"But you're my baby brotheeeerrrr! You HAVE TO love meee~! Hm... I'm gonna just take a nap now." Jackie completely laid on top of Marvin, causing the other to throw a hissy-fit. "Get OFF! I'm tired! I'm going to my room to get some beauty sleep!" Marvin pushed the hero off of him, getting up. But Jackie dragged him back, "no! You're my pwecious babwy bwother and I'm never letting you go! You're mine FOREVER! Mwahahahahaha!" The hero teased, laying back down with the younger ego on his chest.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!"

Marvin practically shrieked, summoning both of the father egos. Henrik and Chase came rushing in, "vhat happened?!" "WHO'S DYING!?" They yelled in unison, only to see the boys messing around, Jackie with a goofy grin. "Man, we gotta sort out who's 'Dad' in this family!" The hero snickered, practically suffocating the younger ego in his arms as he pressed the other's face into his chest. "'E won' wemme go!" The magician's voice was muffled as he struggled to be rid of his harassing elder brother.

"You practically gave me a heart attack, you little shit! Suck it up, Marv! You're always at his heels like a fooking cat! It serves you right to get stepped all over like one!" Chase growled, turning to stomp back into his room. Marvin stopped struggling, seemingly hurt by those words. "Zon't listen to his bullshite, meine freunde, he's just had a rough day." Henrik soothed.

Jackie loosened his grip on Marvin, running his fingers through the other's hair. "Yeah, well, it seems like EVERYDAY is 'just a rough day'!" The hero growled, eyes flashing with anger. Henrik sighed, "you know he doesn't mean it, he just-" "I KNOW! I know... But it's not okay for him to take his stress out on others... Even if it was just an accident." Jackie calmed, his playful mood long since gone.

"I know... I'll have a talk with him." Henrik went to leave, stopping to say one last thing. "And Jackie, let go of your brother."

Jackie let go as the doctor left, no longer in the mood to mess with the magician. But his brother just snuggled up to him, eyes already closed for a nap. The hero cracked a smile.

He really did love his family... Even if they could be assholes.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDD!!!!!!"

"What now?!?! And I thought I said stop calling me that!!!"

"IT'S MY TURN ON THE TV AND BING WON'T LET ME HAVE IT!" Yan whined, stomping his foot a bit. "IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN TWO HOURS!" The android yelled back. "YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S BEEN THREE!" Yan and Bing bickered back and forth, shouting and giving the older ego a migraine. 

"ENOUGH! Enough! Google, how long has it been since Bing got on the stupid T.V?" Dark turned to the android, desperate for the screaming to stop. "It has been two hours and forty-two minutes. Default's turn is over, and since Yandere had it before him, it would be Blank or I's turn." Google informed, glaring at his siblings.

"Uhh... Googs, you can have it." Blank really didn't care and didn't want to get involved. "Alright, that settles that, now PLEASE shut up." Dark growled, leaving to get dinner started. 

"Noooooooo... Daaaaad, I'm BORED!" Yan whined again, ignoring Dark's previous statement about not calling him that. 

"Well, as nice as it is to meet you, Bored, I have stuff to do- including feeding you." Dark grunted, "and boredom sparks creativity, you'll find something to do!" 

He didn't notice the children looking at him strangely.

...Did Dark just make a Dad Joke?
