He dropped his bag on the floor with a scowl on his face. The apartment was still a mess
Mugman: Cuphead!
He shouted loudly while storming to his brother's door. He knocked on the door sharply
Mugman: Cuphead, you were supposed to clean while I was gone!
Cuphead: Fuck off!
Mugman: I swear to God, you're so lazy! Ugh, do I have to do everything?!
Mugs complained as he began picking up stuff from the floor. He cleaned by himself and made food. A while later, he had finished everything
Mugman: Cuphead? I made food..
As he knocked on the door, but a whole lot more softly than before, he held a plate of food for his brother
Mugman: I'm going to my room, alright? I'm leaving the plate on the floor out here
His hand was on the door, and he spoke kindly to Cuphead. But he didn't hear anything. He couldn't help but feel guilt run through his mind
Mugman: If something's wrong, remember I'm always here if you need to talk
That was the last thing he said before placing the plate on the floor. He went to his room, shutting the door
Mugman: He can't be that upset over Gabriel and I. Maybe it's because Dice cut our paychecks again, hah
The mug chuckled as he took off an apron he was wearing. He realized he had forgotten to leave it in the kitchen. But he shrugged and tossed it on his bed, sitting at his desk
Mugman: What's this?
He wondered, picking up a paper he seemed to have forgotten that morning. It was a "cheat sheet" Gabriel made for him if he ever needed a translation when he wasn't there
Mugman: Damn it, I could've used this for that paper he gave me..
The mug muttered, holding the paper with both hands, glancing at the Enochian with English lettering labeled next to them
Mugman: Speaking of, I need to call him
He got up and left his room, heading to the home phone in the apartment. He dialed in the number by pure memory. He's called Gabriel so many times that the number was no problem for him
Mugman: Pick up, for God's sake..
He groaned, tapping his foot impatiently. Then, he heard a click, and Gabriel's voice afterward
Gabriel: Hello?
Mugman: Uh, hello, Gabriel
Gabriel: Oh! Well, hello my friend! Did you need something?
Mugman: I was wondering if we could meet up at your place? My brother's been a little under the weather lately..
Gabriel: My, is he sick?
Mugman: No, he's just.. um, yeah. He is..
Gabriel: Well, tell him I hope he gets well soon!
Mugman: Thanks..
He awkwardly said and glanced at the hallway that led to both their rooms. He was unsure that Cuphead would appreciate that
Mugman: Uhh, anyway, can I come to your place? Tomorrow? Around the same time that we usually meet?
Gabriel: Of course! I look forward to your visit!
Mugs was silent at that and felt even more awkward
Mugman: Well, bye.. uh, Gabriel..
Gabriel: Goodbye!
Once Mugman put down the phone, he sighed. Then he groaned when the phone rang again
Mugman: Yes?
Devil: Mugman?
Mugs jumped suddenly when he heard his boss's deep, husky voice
Mugman: Boss? What did you need?
Devil: I need you two to come to work tonight. Especially you
Mugman: Me?
Devil: Don't think I haven't noticed your brother coming to work on his own. He has been for a month straight. So work a shift tonight, or else you're fired
His voice was sharp and harsh. Once the demon hung up, Mugman slowly set down the phone
Mugman: Cuphead! We're working a shift tonight! I'm coming with!
He called out to Cuphead, restraining himself from sounding too harsh. He took a deep breath and headed back to his room
End.
