Arc usually didn't sleep. Every time he decided to sleep, Say would turn off the alarm just so he would get yelled at. He guessed it was because he annoyed them alot. Tonight he was going to try to fix his cankles. Arc couldn't walk for 2 minutes before feeling like he sprained his ankles. He grabbed what was labeled "the puke bowl". They had this for when someone got sick. No one would care if he put his feet in it, right? He put the bowl in the sink and turned on the hot water. After a while he stuck his hand in.
"Thats not even hot." Arc whispered.
He poured out the water, and waited for it to get hot. He filled up the bowl and put it on the counter. First, hot chocolate. He grabbed a cup from the cupboard, the "Taurus" cup. Arc grabbed the milk from the fridge. He sniffed it to see if it was bad. It smelled weird, but milk always smells weird. He lifted up his bandages to if the cup had something on it that says it can be microwaved.
"What are you doing?" Said a voice.
Arc yelped. He turned to see Say.
"Uhhh uhhh umm nothing...."
Say stared at him.
"Why are you awake?" Arc asked
"Couldn't sleep, too hungry." Say responded.
"As a Taurus, like me, do you think you can withstand the heat of a microwave?"
"Humans can't be microwaved"
"But we are not humans."
"We also can't fit in a microwave."
"Can you microwave this cup or not!?"
"Yeah, I saw Cakey put it in the microwave."
Arc poured some milk into the cup, then put it in the microwave. He flicked Say in the head as she grabbed some chips.
"Why do I keep you around?" Asked Say.
Arc smiled at her, but not his goofy smile, a smile of pure evil.
"Without me, you would try to be normal. Live a normal human life. Try to forget what you are. Pretend to be like the others. Deny you have ever taken a life. Without me, you would simply starve to death."
Arc's smile went back to normal as he took his cup out of the microwave.
"Hey can you get me the hot chocolate powder."
"O-ok..." Say muttered.
"Hey can you tell me when I got enough powder."
He poured some powder in.
"More."
He poured a bit more.
"More."
"Girl, I can barely see!"
"Here, let me do it!" Said Say grabbing the cup.
They poured in a bit. Say handed Arc the cup before leaving with the chips. Arc stured up the hot chocolate. He took a sip a realized it tasted sour. He drank it anyway. Arc grabbed the bowl and realized the water was now cold.
"I should have made hot chocolate first."
