"Mom! Have yo...What the hell?!"
"Come with me. Now."
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Finn groaned in pain, as Kailani dragged him by the ear down the hallway of their home towards her bedroom. He hadn't made it two steps in the door before the tiniest household member was stalking his way with her Justin Bieber perfume and newly manicured nails.
As they passed Carole in the hallway, the boy sent her a pleading look, trying to keep his awkwardly bent tall body inline with Kailani's pinching fingers.
"Mom!" He whined, as the woman rolled her eyes and continued defending the stairs with the dirty clothes basket. "Kai is hurting me!"
"She's three times smaller than you, Finn." Carole chuckled, turning around and shaking her head at her son's whimpering, turning back around and heading further down the stairs. "Besides, Firefly asked very nicely for permission! We don't allow bullies in this house, Finn Christopher."
"Ow! Kai! Kai! You're gonna rip my ear off!"
"Rub it afterwards in a clockwise motion to bring back circulation. You'll live." Kailani rolled her eyes, yanking the tall boy sharply down to sit on her bed once they arrived in her room, releasing him form her grip before she slammed and locked her door behind them.
Was this his few moments before being murdered by Sunshine?
"What was that for?" Finn groaned, rubbing his ear as instructed.
Which way was clockwise again?
"I feel like it's about time we have another one of our appropriately times pow wows where you screw up and I teach you not to be a blockhead. Do you recall the talk we had last year? When you called Kurt's stuff the F word?" Kailani asked, crossing her arms over her chest and turning her snapback around so she could look at least a bit more intimidating.
Ignore the corgi and dino socks. Please and thank you.
"Yeah?"
"You had one job, Finn." Kailani raised a finger, narrowing her eyes as it pointed and jabbed the boy square in his chest in time with her words. "One. Job. Do you know what that job was?"
"Okay, uh, scary Kai, uh...take out the trash?"
"No, Finn!" Kailani snapped, eyes burning with suppressed rage. "You wanted to be a leader. You wanted to show everyone you had what it takes, but tearing people down in the process was not at all appropriate behavior, from you or the leader you're trying to be. You were supposed to be a good Ally to the LGBT+ community!"
