I just really...
We end up just all laying on the ground playing monopoly. Jr. insisted that they needed to be the dog...
"Kid, it's just a piece?" I say, picking up the top hat. They smile greatly, "Well I think it's the cutest one! SO I WANT IT!!!" He beams, petting the little metal dog with their finger. I roll my eyes, "Whatever helps you sleep at night."
"Can I have that one?" Black Hole asks, pointing to the duck. "Sure," I smile, handing it to them. They hold it delicately in their hand, staring at it intently.
"What is it?" He questions, setting the small piece lovingly on the Go! spot. "It's called a duck, it's a kind of bird." I explain, placing my token next to theirs. They nod, "I think they look...cute?...is that the word for it?" They say, nudging it with their finger.
I nod, "Okay...so youngest usually goes first." I say, handing Jr. the die. (THE PLURAL FOR DICE I DON'T MEAN- y'know what whatever.)
"Thanks!" They smile, throwing them on the floor. "A two..." They say, moving their token two spaces. "And a five! That makes seven!" He beams, moving the rest of the spaces.
"Okay, Vermont...you wanna buy it?" I ask, being banker after all. (It was a unanimous decision, Jr. wasn't very good at math, besides simple addition, and Black Hole could barely tell a one from a seven.)
"YUP!" They smile, handing me a wad of bills. Who knew someone would be so happy to fork over their cash? "Here you go, bud."
"YES!" He cheers, placing the card next to his piles of money. "Okay...uh- Black Hole how old are you?" I ask, they give me a blank stare. The silence stretches over us and becomes increasingly awkward.
"Oh- yeah, right. Uh- I'll just go..." I stutter, rolling. "A six and a three, that's nine." I say, moving my token. "Connecticut." I shrug, decent plot I guess.
"Your turn babe," I say, handing the dice to Black Hole. They follow my movements in the dice throwing, "Uh...what does that say?"
"That's a five and a six dude." Pen says as he sits next to them. "Oh thanks Pen." they smile, moving their pieces. I nod to Pen, I'm glad that they're getting along-
Wait-
"HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE!?!?" I yell, startled. Black Hole, who also just now realized that Pen wasn't here before jumps as well. CJ laughs, waving to Pen, he waves back as they both wait for us to calm down.
"How...and why?" I ask, trying to catch my breath. Pen just laughs, picking up the T-rex token. "I know where you keep your spare key."
I slap my hand on my forehead, "Right...Pillow..." Pen nods, "Yupp..."
"Okay...then...why?" I ask, making a gesture with my hands. "I'm bored, also I brought Marker."
"HOII!!!!" Marker yells, grabbing Jr.'s shoulders. They yelp before laughing out in surprise. "Yeah! Go ahead! Make it a habit to randomly break into my house! I don't mind!"
"Oh really? Thanks man!" Pen says, slapping me on the back. "That was sarcasm." I grumble, glaring at Pen.
Pen rolls his eyes, "Oh hush, can we just join you or something?" Pen asks, gesturing to Marker, then to Monopoly. I sigh, "Fine..."
Pen picks the penguin, which Marker was very angry about. Pen just ended up giving Marker the penguin and he took the car instead.
We played a bunch of turns. Pen (with his horrible investing decisions) went bankrupt first.
"DAMNNIT!" He grumbles, throwing the money he owes Black Hole. "I WANT IT!" CJ yells, grabbing at the air for the loose bills. I chuckle, "Tough luck Pen...also don't swear."
"I didn't!" He groans, "Damnit doesn't count!"
I roll my eyes again, "It does in this house, which you so rudely broke into..."
"Yeah yeah whatever..." Pen grumbles, looking out the windows. "Oh sh- SHACK- WHAT TIME IS IT?!?!"
"7:56." Black Hole says immediately, moving his duck four spaces. "Community chest..."
"OH NO WE HAVE TO GO!!!!" Pen says, grabbing Markers arm and dragging him away. "Bye bye!!!!" Marker smiles, waving crazily.
"Uh-...that was an..." Black Hole says, looking at the mess on the ground. "...eventful game of monopoly..."
I sigh, sitting up. "Yeah...c'mon Jr. time for bed."
"Okay Dokay!"
*****************************************
After getting Jr. to bed, me and Black Hole crash into our own. Black Hole sighs, placing his headphones on the bedside table, barely able to fit them with all the junk on it.
"Why do you have...that?" Black Hole asks, motioning towards the gramophone. I shrug, "My mom gave it to me...I used to mess with it when I was younger."
They nod, turning over in bed. "How was your day today?" They ask, holding me close to their chest. I chuckle, "Good, it was fun playing monopoly...even if Pen snuck up on us like that..."
They laugh as well, my heart flutters at the noise. He always had such a pretty laugh...I never really heard it before...
"Yeah...I'm glad Cherry Jr. had fun. They looked like they really enjoyed it." They smile, sighing a bit. "You tired?"
They nod, "I haven't exactly been sleeping well." He admits, combing his hands through my hair. I press myself further onto his chest. "Yeah...me neither..."
"Well, I hope you can sleep better tonight." They smile, kissing my forehead. I laugh, "Yeah...thanks babe...love you."
"Love you too...good night." They say, pulling me closer and turning off the lights. I shut my eyes, scooting even closer to them.
