"are you bored yet?"

cause we could stay at home and watch the sunset
but i can't help from askin' "are you bored yet?"
and if you're feelin' lonely, you should tell me
before this ends up as another memory

"grab a damn blanket and start folding, maiya. jesus christ!" kairi yelled once he saw his sister just sitting on the couch on her phone while he went through his families laundry.

"i'm texting someone, kairi!"

"does it look like i care? i'm here doing all the chores and you're just sitting there texting someone who probably doesn't even like you!"

"kairi! stop yelling at your sister. maiya, get up and start helping or i'm taking your phone away. さて、お母さん." (now, maiya.) their mom suddenly yelled, startling the both of them and making maiya move her ass off of the couch to start her chores.

"suck up." maiya seethed as she began to fold some blankets.

"you were unplanned." kairi replied

"mom! kairi said it again!"

"you guys are pains in my ass, y'know that right?" their mom said in a quiet and calm voice.

"so you finally got your phone back?" kairi asked as he snuck up behind mattia.

"jesus kairi, you need a bell on you or something, i can never hear you when you're behind me," mattia huffed out, a hand on his chest since kairi had spooked him.

"sorry...so?"

"yeah, i told my mom i might need it in case of an emergency and she gave it back...after a bit of negotiating...i just need to do all my chores as soon as i get home and possibly not have time for any other actives or after school fun because of it—but it's worth it because i have my phone." mattia replied with a smile, making kairi laugh quietly as they both turned the corner.

"are you ready for my question or would you rather me ask you later instead of first thing in the morning?"

"well, i'd say ask me later but i know that you're still gonna ask now anyway, so just go ahead..."

"okay...do you have any friends?"

"excuse me?" mattia stopped walking, turning on his heels to face the shorter boy.

"my question, it's do you have any friends?" kairi asked again, tilting his head to the right like a puppy as mattia examined his face to check if he was joking.

"why—why would you make that a question-"

"why can't you just answer it?"

"because it's a stupid question, kairi. just think of something else and try not to ask me anything personal like that ever again-"

"are you being serious?" kairi asked, confused at the sudden anger mattia had in his eyes.

"does it seem like i'm joking, kairi?" mattia turned back around and continued to walk to his class. leaving kairi in shock.

"stop staring over there, weirdo..."

"i wasn't-"
