Five, Six . . It Can't Be Fixed

Parasite

Anthony first glitched them off to Marvin and Evan's and although the magicians were a little irritated about it, they went off to go grab Jackie, Henrik, Jameson and Chase in their respective universes.

Anti sat down in one of Marvin's couches he had gotten for himself. While Evan preferred firm furniture, the Septics preferred more soft and cushy furniture you could sink into. Anti nabbed one of Marvin's soft blankets and wrapped himself him in the couch.

Anthony rolled his eyes, "Comfy?"

Anti nodded, "Marvin has the best taste in this kind of stuff"

"I'm gonna tell Gab you said she had horrible tastes"

"NO, Don't!" Anti whined, "She's already pissed off with YOU! Don't get her mad at me, too!"

"Who's mad at who now? Tell me everything" Marvin returned with Henrik and Jameson. Marvin sat next to Anti and pulled him him for a side hug to cuddle.

Anti graciously accepted the affection, laying his head on his brother's shoulder.

But in the next moment, Evan almost appeared with Chase and Jackie. Chase immediately went to Anthony first and they bumped fists.

Anti felt a little sting at that.

'They've gotten a lot closer lately'

Was he jealous? It was GOOD that Anthony was close to them now, right?

But he couldn't help but feel a little angry. They were his first, after all.

Marvin could sense Anti's tension and hugged him a little tighter, "You okay? You seem rather . . . dependent today. You only grab that blanket on a bad day"

Anti situated himself in a more comfortable position on Marvin, "I'm fine. . . ."

Evan smiled, "I'm gonna go get some tea and coffee ready. Tell them what happened this morning, dear?"

"What happened?" Jameson asked.

"Well" Marvin sighed, "So about the wedding. . . we might have to cancel it for now"

"Vhat?! Vhy?!" Henrik yelled, "I already have zhe catering all set up, damn you!"

Marvin snapped his fingers and a letter popped in his hand, "Evan and I got this today. A letter from the Council of Magicians. We were wondering why they hadn't done anything yet for Evan and I's obvious dark magic usage. Now we know why. They planned a court hearing for the day of our wedding just to be douchebags"

"So don't go" Anthony snorted, "Easy. Want me to kill them all just like I did in your universe?"

"Not funny, Anthony" Marvin rolled his eyes.

"It's kind of funny!" Evan called from the kitchen, "Keep that idea in mind! Just no decapitation!"

"Anyway" Marvin sighed, not finding Evan funny, "We're being held accountable for our actions which could result in either our magic being put on lock for an extended period or . . . . death."

"Oh well at least they're reasonable" Jackie said sarcastically, rolling his eyes, "Death? Seriously? Do they not realize you helped save millions of universes fighting Anthony and THEN fighting Mark? Are they out of their mind?"

"Well to them, breaking a rule is still breaking a rule. And I have broken. . .. hundreds. Evan says I should count myself lucky they haven't sent an assassin to kill me when I first started to delve into dark magic with the OTHER Evan before you came into the picture, Anthony"

"As if they could have killed YOU" Chase snorted, "You're smarter and stronger than that"

"Thanks" Marvin smiled, "Either way, though .. . we're at an impasse until the court hearing next week. And I JUST picked out my wedding colors, too! Silver and Purple"
