Luminous Nights [Neteyam x Aonung]

Dark Days : Part 12

As Neteyam comes off the stairs, he waves to Ronal who's in the living room while he heads to the door to take his leave. When the butler opens the door for him, his heart suddenly drops. Right outside, Rotxo approaches, with Haeda behind him.

As the shorter boy walks towards him, he wears a cocky smirk.

Rotxo- Hello again, guppy. What brings you here, got a thing for rejection?

Neteyam- I was just leaving.

He steps past Rotxo as he and Haeda casually walk into the large home. As he goes down the stairs, Rotxo continues to speak to him, but he uses every fiber in his body to ignore him.

Rotxo- I wouldn't bother coming back, if I were you. Gotta move on at some point, right?

Successfully, he makes it over to his Skimwing without losing it. He quickly makes his way home, his mind lingering on what Aonung could be doing with Rotxo at the moment. With a sigh he shakes the thought away, knowing it'll only anger him more if he continues to think about it.

Once he reaches home, quickly heading inside, he goes right up to his room, seeing that no one is out anymore, all in their rooms doing whatever before bed.

When he walks into his room, Lo'ak is in the middle of the floor holding a pen in his mouth while using a highlighter to mark something in the magazine. His flashier clothes are thrown all over the place. He also has a notepad next to him with a pencil lying next to it.

Neteyam chuckles, shaking his head a bit at the sight. Lo'ak finally notices him and glances up.

Lo'ak- Hey, bro.

His words are a bit muffled, but Neteyam still understands him. He pats Lo'ak's head as he walks over to his bed with a smile.

Neteyam- I love your enthusiasm, Lo.

Lo'ak finally removes the pen from his mouth after sitting the highlighter aside.

Lo'ak- Dad said you went to Aonung's.

Neteyam lies on his stomach, propping his head up on his hand while facing his brother.

Neteyam- Yeah.

Lo'ak- How'd it go? Is he alright?

Neteyam- He wasn't eating, but he's fine now. His mother apparently force fed him.

Lo'ak- Damn.

Neteyam- That's exactly what I said.

The two laugh, then Neteyam turns his attention to the many clothes on the floor.

Neteyam- So, what's all this?

Lo'ak- Well I thought I had something for this dance but I was wrong and we need to go shopping. I mean we needed to do that anyway since nothing you have is good enough either.

Neteyam rolls his eyes, but knows he's not wrong.

Neteyam- You better know what you want, then, 'cause we're not buying a million choices because you can't choose.

Lo'ak- Don't worry, I already started the list.

He holds his notepad out to Neteyam proudly, and he takes it, scanning the list. His brother is dead set on having a limousine, so it's at the top of the list.

They need many different accessories, and apparently he's still debating what colors to wear. He's even got what sort of music he wants to blast out of their ride since it comes with a radio.

Neteyam- Kiri isn't gonna like any of these music choices.

Lo'ak- Oh she's not going with us.

Neteyam hands the notepad back, then gives a confused look.

Neteyam- Why?

Lo'ak- She's got a date!

Neteyam- No way. The dude from Gen 1?

Lo'ak- Hell yeah.

Neteyam- I knew she'd give in.

Lo'ak- I just hope she actually makes things official after this.

Neteyam- You've always been so eager for her to date someone. You know that's unusual for a brother, right?

Lo'ak- You can't say anything about me being unusual.

He rolls his eyes playfully as Lo'ak points an accusing finger at him.

Lo'ak- Besides, I just wanna be an uncle one day.

He smiles as he listens to his brother begin to ramble on about the cute nieces and nephews Kiri and Faygo would make, and how he would spoil the kids and be the fun uncle.
