Razzmatazz's Crush

Summer Blush

Letting out a sigh of relief, Razzmatazz watered the last crop he had on his plot. It was the middle of the summer season and with how many requests Crayola Farm had gotten from the locals, all four of the brothers had been busy, with the exception of Viridian who was trying to woo everyone while completing delivery tasks. Currently, the youngest brother had been tasking himself with growing and harvesting the crops the townspeople had been requesting, along with fishing to raise more funds to get more chickens and gain a barn during the Fall season. However, this made him the brother that the locals had seen the least, and the ones who he had talked to, like Shane and Haley, had already started to spread rumors about how he was a rude, spoiled boy (like they were any better). Putting his watering can back in his brown chest, the 20-year-old stretched, letting out a groan as his back popped. As he relaxed, he perked his head and turned to the entrance of his plot when he heard his older brother call out to him.

"Hey, Razz! I knew you'd still be here!" His emerald-haired brother shouted from across the field. Viridian Crayola, the second oldest of the four brothers, and the reason why they were living in Stardew Valley in the first place. He was the one that brought up their grandfather's letter and convinced them to transition from city life to the hard work of farm life. Razzmatazz crossed his arms, leaning his weight to his right foot, and let out a huff, his bright pinkish-red hair moving slightly to the same side.

"What's that supposed to mean, Vir?" He spat, glaring crimson daggers at his older brother. Viridian let out a laugh at his youngest brother's defensive posture and wrapped his arm around Razzmatazz's shoulder and brought him into sort of a hug suddenly, making the melon-haired boy cry out in surprise.

"Nothing bad! Just that you practically don't leave the farm." Viridian chuckled, before shifting his brother a bit in his hold. "Anyway, I need your help with something." Razzmatazz looked up at him with slight fear and anger in his eyes.

"I am not going to feed your birds and dinosaur again. Last time, I was chased out of the fence by those stupid blue chickens you got from Shane." Razzmatazz tore away from his brother's grasp and crossed his arms again. Viridian laughed again and shook his head, as he recalled the morning he saw the bright blue fowl chasing after his pink-haired brother.

"No, I'm not going to have you feed the birds." Viridian took off the red pack on his back and placed it on the ground, opening it up and reaching into it. Razzmatazz watched him with confusion, wondering what task his brother wanted him to do. Viridian took out a couple of parsnips, a melon, and a couple of red cabbages, placing them on Razzmatazz's porch to keep them from getting too dirty. "I need you to take these to Dr. Harvey at the clinic. He said he wants'em to make some sort of soup that's good for hydrating people." Razzmatazz scrunched up his nose at the thought of leaving the farm.

"Why can't you take them? You're the delivery boy remember?" The fuchsia top huffed, looking away from his older brother. Viridian smiled sympathetically at Razzmatazz, knowing that he didn't like to leave the solitude of the farm, let alone speak to people.

"I would but it's already eleven in the morning and I promised Cobalt that I would help him in the mines today because we all need copper and coal. Unless YOU want to go with him?" The green-haired boy replied, swinging the red pack onto his back where it had rested. Razzmatazz stiffened at the mention of his blue-haired brother, remembering his green eyes glistening menacingly when he warned Razzmatazz that he would leave him behind if he didn't keep up in the mines. He had gone with Cobalt once and true to his word, his third older brother had left him behind, leaving Razzmatazz lost for fifteen minutes. The pinkette turned to the brown chest on his porch quickly, opening it to look for his own red pack.
