Beep.

"Ugh..." A young boy reached for the alarm on his nightstand.

'Click'

The boy pulled off his covers and slowly sat at the side of his bed, letting his legs reach the floor. "Gosh, can't it be any later?" Asked the young boy seemingly irritated and annoyed that his sleep was interrupted.

After a minute or two the young male finally got up and went to the other side of the room. There on the other side was another bed, which looked occupied with another seemingly young person.

"Oi, Liv wake up."

. . .

The male standing by the bed tried calling the other person again when he saw no response. He tried shaking the poor person sleeping in the bed. "Come on, were going to be late if you don't wake up!" The one sleeping in the bed let out a groan.

"Ughh... Rin can't I just sleep... more...." Came a childish boyish voice from the one still in bed. "I'm going to eat your breakfast if you don't get up Oliver." Suddenly the young male in bed shot up "I'm up! Don't you dare eat my breakfast Rin!!" The young male, Rin went to another room attached to the decent-sized room the two boys were in, seemingly the bathroom the young males shared.

"Mhm.. Good you have 20 minutes left Liv." "Oi! You also have 20 minutes left Rin! You still haven't changed too!" Said the young male Oliver, now sitting up in his bed.

The other male ignored his brother's shouting and went to the bathroom. The small bathroom consisted of a sink with a mirror above it and a cupboard with various empty and used shampoos and extra toothpaste, some towels were also hanging by a small rack on the other side. The toilet was beside the sink a few feet away. There was also a small shower with some trinkets hanging by the rack in the shower. On the floor right before the sink, there was a small carpet that by appearance looked worn.

Rin went to the sink stepping on the worn-out carpet, looking himself in the mirror. Messy deep brown hair with messy bangs pairing with tired amber coloured eyes. He realized the dark circles under them. "Haaa.. really shouldn't stay up all night..." Rin turned on the faucet and ice-cold water hit his rough bandaged hands.

Flinching for a bit of the cold. He cupped the water in his hands and splashed the freezing water on his face. Then, he reached for his green toothbrush with his left hand, putting on toothpaste that was lying on the side. While brushing his teeth, he heard his twin brother getting up from bed and rummaging through their wardrobe.

Rin blinked when his bangs fell on his eyes, pushing them away with his free hand loosing up the knots in his hair. Getting one of the towels from the rack he dried his face with the light grey towel. Putting away the toothbrush. Rin went to his shared bedroom to go change, there he saw his twin brother already in his beige jumper, putting on his shoes.

"Finally! Rin you took forever to be done, see! I'm already done changing."

"Yeah, yeah go brush your teeth Liv, I can smell your breath from here."

"Eh? That's not true!"

Oliver dashed to the bathroom and Rin walked to the place where his brother previously stood, before the small wardrobe. Their school uniform consisted of a long sleeved buttoned up white shirt with a wine-red tie, dark coloured pants paired with a beige jumper and a dark coloured blazer that is parallel with the pants.

Unlike his brother that prefers to wear his oversized jumper and not his blazer, Rin wears the completed uniform. He was putting on his black sneakers when Rin heard the rustle of a towel from the bathroom.

"Rin. When are the caretakers going to be coming?"

"They should be here in... 7 minutes I think."

Rin looked at the small clock on his brother's nightstand. The clock read 7.23, He then looked at his brother leaning on the bathroom doorframe, holding a towel drying his hands.

"Ugh! I'm already dreading their shouting and yelling. It's also Wednesday meaning we must clean up and do our laundry."

"They scold us if they found out we stayed up all night reading the books on the shelf outside"

"Don't remind me, Rin! I'm already tired as it is."

"Your fault for staying up late."

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The two brothers quickly looked at the door to their shared room. Oliver hurried to stand next to Rin, throwing the grey towel on the self in the bathroom. The poor door banged harshly opened.

"Boys! Stop lazing around in the room. Breakfast is in 10 minutes."

"AND do clean up all this mess too!" Said a black-haired old lady that looked already in her mid-50. The black-haired lady threw a worn-out rag with a bucket in the decent sized room.

Then the door banged closed. The brothers could hear other doors being opened and closed harshly on their floor. Rin looked at the clock again, this time on his own nightstand. It read 7.25. He was the first to break the sharp tension.

"Miss Alver came a bit earlier this time."

"Huh? Normally she comes like... 8 minutes late, even if we must clean up!"

"Maybe it's a special occasion."

"Meh... we never will know if we keep standing here and keep hearing other kids running up and about up there!"

Said Oliver annoyed and looking like he's already very tired with his life at such a youthful age. As the brothers could hear other kids running above their floor. Rin could hear some of the shouting and yelling going on outside. Then, Oliver was the first to walk to the door, picking up the bucket, he threw the old worn-out rag to Rin.

"Warm or cold?"

"Cold is better, would be too long to wait for the warm water."

"You start picking up the clothes, I'll go fill up the bucket" said Oliver disappearing in the bathroom. Rin then threw the rag on his bed, going to pick up the shirts, pants and boxers from the floor. He dumped them all in a big purple-ish coloured bag in the corner next to de wardrobe.

Faintly Rin could hear water running in the bathroom. He looked around the room, seeing his messy bed. Rin walked to his bed, picking up the rag, putting it on his nightstand, Rin fluffed up the pillows and placed the tin blanket neatly.

"Ri-ri~ Where should we begin first with the cleaning?" Came Oliver out of the bathroom with a filled bucket and a mop on the other hand.

"The floor and do not call me that. Where did you even get the mop from?"

"Ehhh... But you gave me a nickname! The mop here is Mister Magic, thank you very much!"

Rin looked at the gleaming Oliver deadpanned, Oliver really looked funny holding a bucket and a mop on the other hand with a bright smile on his face.

"Haah.. just start cleaning up already, Liv."

"Haha! Yes sir!"
