[SDMN] Imagines

Zerkstar #1

(A Sidemen Cinderella Story)

"Vik!" a voice called from all the way upstairs. Vik groaned, he picked up the tray full of breakfast foods and carried it upstairs to his impatient stepfather. After balancing two trays up two flights of stairs, he carefully opened the creaky door. "Goodness you're slow." his stepfather, Simon, shook his head.

"Sorry." Vik softly apologised. He then set one tray down.

"Did I say you could speak?" Simon barked. Vik shook his head. "Exactly. Don't waste your energy on words because today you have to scrub the floors, feed the animals, wash the horses and cows, clean all the windows, do the laundry, and chop the wood." he listed. So in Vik's mind, the usual. Vik nodded his head and left for his twin stepbrother's room.

"I didn't hog the blankets! You did I saw it with my own eyes!"

"That's only because you were hogging it first!"

Vik sighed at their never ending bickering. He took a deep breath before opening the door and entering their room. They stopped for a moment to see it was Vik who entered.

"Vik, will you tell JJ to share the blankets? I'll freeze to death without them!" Tobi whined.

"I'll start sharing when you start sharing." JJ crossed his arms.

"Ha! You just admitted that you're not sharing meaning you hogged them all night!" Tobi cackled. Vik shook his head and set their tray of breakfast down on their bedside table. He was about to leave so he could start his chores when,

"This is what you call breakfast?! Where are the eggs? The jam? The meats?" JJ yelled. Good god. Vik thought to himself.

"What do you mean? I always serve this, every morning." Vik asked. He hated his ungrateful stepbrothers almost as much as his brutal stepfather.

"Go get me some jam for my toast, dickstar!" JJ commanded, throwing a spoon at Vik. Vik spun around and went all the way back downstairs to get a simple jar of jam. If Vik hasn't said this before then you've never heard him speak.

"Vik do this. Vik do that. Vik you're so stupid. Vik you're worthless. Vik you're so ungrateful. Vik stop complaining. Vik quit whining. Vik, Vik, Vik..." he grumbled to himself. "Is that so? So then how come I do all the work? I'm apparently an idiot even though you people are the ones who can't tie a tie." Vik came back around from the kitchen into the entrance hall, where Simon stood talking to someone. He shut the front door while holding a letter.

"JJ! Tobi! Boys come down here!" Simon called. The two brothers stumbled down the stairs as Vik slowly stepped over.

"What? What is that?" Tobi tried to look over Simon's shoulders.

"It's an invitation to the Royal's gala." Simon informed them. A small grin grew on his face. Tobi and JJ started freaking out with excitement. 

"Wait, all of us are invited?" Vik chirped. A little bit of hope in his voice.

"Yes, but, you're not going." Simon laughed. "This is for the wealthy and important. Not the pitiful servants of this kingdom." he scoffed. Vik felt his heart shatter. Tobi and JJ began laughing as well.

"Vik thought he was actually going to meet the prince." Tobi snorted. "The prince is mine."

"No, he'll be mine!" JJ argued.

"He'll be one of your's. I don't care who's but it better be one of you two." Simon demanded. "And you," Simon turned his attention back to Vik, "You shall not be going because first off, you don't have anything to wear there and you won't have time to make anything because you'll be too busy making ours. Plus you still have to do your chores for today." Simon reminded Vik. All three then left him to his own. JJ of course took his jam.
