.:Hydrophobia:. A Neptune Vasilias Short Story ✔️

Water Damage

A/N I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING ABOUT THIS PICTURE!!!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HALP ME BECAUSE I'M RUNNING OUT OF OXYGEN XDDDDDD

Every day was a struggle. He lived in constant fear of what lurked in his apartment.

His home.

But not today. Today Neptune Vasilias would take back what was rightfully his from the dreaded substance known as...

Water.

Just thinking about it made the hair on the back of his neck rise, as if he was experiencing that haunting childhood memory. When water first snatched him up in its deadly maw.

Neptune began to have second thoughts.

Why can't I just call someone to fix the busted pipe, instead? He asked himself.

"No." Neptune said aloud, as if speaking it would help calm his racing heart. "I must prove that water cannot, and will not, control me."

Neptune gulped a deep breath to steady himself. I can do this. He reassured himself.

I am Neptune Vasilias, keeper of the insanely cool hair and jawline. I am not going to let a little water scare me.

"I am going to die."

Neptune was a whirlwind of emotion right up until the very last moment.

The moment that mattered.

Neptune cracked his neck after he slid to the side of the door that held within his worst nightmare. Slowly and quietly, he crept inside.

Heart beating wildly, Neptune took several deep breaths to attempt to rein in his heart's out of control rhythm. Instead of helping, the deep breaths he took quickly turned into shallow gasping that sounded just like hyperventilation.

After fumbling around in the dark, Neptune found the light switch and flicked it on. Florescent light spilled into the room instantly. But in that one corner that held the sink, behind the cabinets, hidden in the shadows of death, the leaky pipe dripped on, completely unaware of its impending doom.

Neptune took out his wrench and carefully opened the cabinet, wincing at how badly it needed WD-40. As if expecting him, the water morphed from an erratic drip to a steady stream. The water seemed to be teasing Neptune, and that made him furious.

"You invade my home, threaten me, and then mock me?!" Neptune shouted as he grabbed the pipe and placed the wrench over the loose bolt.

Unfortunately, in Neptune's anger, he forgot the Lefty Loosey Righty Tighty rule.

Water spewed all over Neptune, drenching his awesome anime jacket and soaking his hair.

Neptune shrieked and ran as if the devil was chasing him. (In his opinion the devil was chasing him)

After barricading his bedroom door, Neptune covered himself in his favorite blanket, crawled into fetal position and wept.

2 Hours of Netflix and Cheetos Later

"Neptune!" Sun's wacking the front door with his bow staff startled Neptune out of his paranoid state of rocking back and forth with his arms wrapped around his still-damp knees.

"Hey, I'm picking the lock."

"You break my door, I will throw rocks at your descendants and dump bags of flour down your chimney!!!" Neptune shouted. "Stupid criminal monkey thingy..."

"Neptune, if you were sleeping, I will drag you out with my tail strangling your ankles so you can't escape!"

Neptune groaned. He knew Sun's threats were not to be taken lightly.

"Why is your carpet wet? Neptune?" Neptune heard what sounded like the bathroom door open.

"MOTHER OF DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"

.EXE.EXPERIENCING TECH PROBLEMS.EXE

.EXE.YOU DUN SCREWED UP.EXE.

Yep. Definitely the bathroom door. The sound of more water spilling out made Neptune cringe.

"WHAT THE DUST DID YOU DO, NEPTUNE?!?!" Then Sun opened the cabinet. "Of course..."

After twelve minutes of what sounded like Sun messing up Neptune's stuff, he knocked on Nep's door.

"Dude, where's your wrench?"

Loud silence.

"Hello??? Are you alive in there or did you drown in tap water?"

Even louder silence.

"Forget you! I can find it on my own!"

Insert sound of throwing couch.

"FOUND IT!"

After what sounded like someone continuously hitting metal with metal, Sun padded back.

"I have now learned that the ancient saying 'Duct tape fixes everything' to be true!" Sun proudly said.

Neptune slowly opened his door to meet Sun. He looked as if he was expecting some form of thanks.

"Get out of my apartment before I electrocute you where the sun don't shine."

"I fixed the pipe and that's all that matters!" Sun bragged to Blake.

"Fixed?!" Neptune jabbed his finger at Sun. "You made it a heck of a lot more expensive to repair!!!!!"

"Pfft... Youre a crazy Mexican, and my abs are way cooler than yours."

"I AM NOT MEXICAN!!!!"
