Rells vision clears as the emerald smoke created by his brother sets them in the living room of their apartment. He sees a blur of scales and a tale flash out of his peripheral, grab his brother and disappear into his bedroom the door slam sounding like a gunshot that resonates through the room along with the sound a crying baby.
Anthony's crying.
The thought registered in his head filling him with rage he couldn't place a name on. Anger at himself for acting out the way he did against Shads little witch whore, at Anthony for not shutting the fuck up and letting him think about what to do next and calm himself down, and Anger and betrayal towards Shad-he didn't even wanna say his name anymore- anger for him just standing there and not doing while that little monster insulted his family. Betrayal at the fact that he had chosen a witch over him. A filthy fucking witch of all things that's what hit him the hardest.
His breathing was ragged as his thoughts raced his anger flaring and manifesting in his club marks flaring a deep midnight blue. The air around him was so charged with magic that if their whole place wasn't as warded as it was the whole place would have been turned to ash. The crying grew louder and with it came a headache that only grew worse for Rell. "Shut up ant." He whispered softly his voice sounded hoarse and scratchy. Blue light began to race beneath his skin like liquid neon light burning through him his head was pounding and the screaming cry was only getting louder.
"I said shut the fuck up!" He couldn't take it anymore, his distorted voice echoed throughout the room and with it a flood of navy blue light that streamed from Rell's body flowing from his mouth, eyes, and club marks. His form seemed to glitch fizzing out and shifting in some areas giving way to something else underneath a silhouette of Rell made of navy blue light and glowing fiercely. A maniacal, insane, laughing being.
A fierce and angry spirit of power kept sealed away inside a human meat bag.
And just like that the room was empty devoid of the unnatural light a normal room with a boy curled up on the floor with his baby in his arms the child and baby strangely switching roles with the child looking up at him his mouth gaping with wide eyes as he watched his "mother" cry hysterically while clutching him tightly.
"I love you Anthony. I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry, fuck why does this shit happen to us!?"
His cheeks flared again and a crack of thunder rumbled above the sound of rain rumbled again pattering against the roof reminding him briefly of the morning before this day had went to hell.
"I miss his ugly ass Ant, fucking bastard." He whispered in his babies' hair kissing the top of his head lightly as he clutched him tightly.
"But I don't need him." He said it with finality his voice hoarse and but a whisper. Feeling drained and worn out his stiffly got up from the carpeted ground his eyes still flowing as he made his way slowly to the his bed room he saw his brother laying on one side of his bed he was wearing a large shirt that fell past his knees even when he was laying down and nothing else.
He said nothing as Rell walked in laying a sleeping ant down in the middle of the bed before stripping himself down to his boxers keeping the t-shirt on and carefully laying down on the other side of the bed Ant laid between them both.
They stayed like that for a little while River staring up his eyes focused on the ceiling and Rells closed feigning sleep.
"I don't wanna talk about it." Rell's voice sounded small in the empty room accompanied by Anthony's light breathing.
"I wasn't gonna make you if you want to talk u can." River shifted turning his body so he could look at his brother and lay on his side.
"It's just...how the fuck does he choose that thing over me? Like how?" Rell exclaimed the hurt in his voice evident as he pursed his lips in a pout.
"I know bro." His words were calm and simple as he tried to still his brother's chaotic thoughts. "It'll work out though eventually." He added eventually at the end slowly.
"Tuh." Rell turned to his brother rolling his eyes he had stopped crying now only clear tracks were left on his cheeks.
"I don't even care anymore."
"Yes you do." His brother saw through the lie.
"Ok so what if I do it's not like he fucking cares." He was pouting and it made River smile, "He cares he's just fucking up right now."
"Yea with a fucking Magician." His answer made Rivers eyes darken and his spades spark emerald, "Yeah, but he'll come back after all." He poked Anthony's nose lightly making the baby snort in his sleep, "You did have his baby." the boy chuckled.
"Bitch shut the fuck up." Rell said it harshly but he had finally cracked a smile reaching over to clasp his brother's hand where it lay above his sons head. River returned the gesture his grip strong as he smirked at his brother rolling his eyes, "I love you too twin."
"Ew love." He grimaced at the word and pulled his head back quickly, "That words a trap."
River rolled his eyes and turned back to gaze up at the ceiling, "Hah whatever bro bro."
Rell rolled his eyes and turned to looked up at the ceiling as well. There they were the three of them two teenage twin magical beings and a magic baby. Laying in a bed together a little dysfunctional but happy as fuck. Well. Almost happy.
"I hate Magicians River." Rell said it suddenly without hate or malice behind the statement. It was a fact cold and unfeeling.
"I know twin, I know."
"Bitch why are you being so calm now. Jay must've gave you that bomb dick." Rell chuckled while River shifted his body. He knew what those two were gonna do when that door slammed shut jay always knew hope to make his brother happy. Must be nice. His brother's nervous grimace and awkward silence made him glare over at him.
"What's wrong nigger?"
"Well yea see about that um I think I'm pregnant." River smiled nervously as he turned to look at his shocked brother.
"Bitch don't lie to me."
"Uh, I try not to lie." River said the smile still on his face as he sat up in the bed careful to maneuver his legs as he went criss cross so he didn't hit the baby.
"Wait so you and Jay-" Rell began to sit up too so he could face his brother, excitement evident on his face and his raised voice.
"Yea, I haven't really told him yet." River shrugged bashfully, "Oh you pussy bitch." Rell scowled at his brother's shy disposition.
"How am I a pussy?" The spade cheeked child asked indignantly, his eyes narrowed in irritation.
"How the fuck you not gon' tell him."
"Bitch, the same reason you're too scared to suck dick."
"Oh, bitch uh uh."
"Shit I only found out like a couple weeks ago."
"Really?" Rell said cocking his head to the side, "And you haven't thrown up yet."
"I'm not you." River deadpanned, "You're damn right this bastard had me throwin' up every damn day!" Rell exclaimed pointing at the now half awake baby between them. Ant's eyes were half way open continualy blinking and wiggling his body.
"You're loud ass woke him up."
"I don't give a fack." Rell said as he reached down to pick the child up, "Stop fuckin' movin'."
"Don't tell him what to do." River snapped, "Bitch I'll worry about mine. You worry about the five eggs in yo fuckin stomach."
"Oh my god." River gasped, "Bro, don't say that I'm gonna bleed more than when he popped me ." He felt nervously around in his stomach while groaning in phantom pain.
Rell rolled his eyes, "Bitch thats not even your real body you'll be okay." He continued to gently bounce his now fully awake son the infants cooing and gurgling as his mother played with him.
"That's not the point." River groaned covering his face with his hands as if trying to hide himself from the world.
"What is the point then?" Rell tilted his head in confusion as he looked at his brother, "You are sure you're pregnant right?"
"Yea I did a full revelation on my body." River explained, "I'm like seven weeks."
"Welp." Rell shrugged and went back to playing with Ant lightly slapping him on his fat cheeks and making the infant giggle.
"I hate it when u welp me."
" Well I don't care. I'm not seeing what the point is." Rell said not looking away from his baby.
"The point is I'm scared to tell him."
River mumbled looking down ashamed at his statement.
"Girl." Rell leveled a glare at his brother, "Stop being a puss."
River's glare went unnoticed as Rell continued, "If he really wants your ass he'll be happy with it and stay with you and the baby, hell and if not welp you'll always have us." He gave his brother a toothy smile.
"You're so helpful." River returned his brothers smile.
"Bitch i know and I'm gonna take a nap you can watch him." He yawned as he thrust his baby toward a surprised River, the child looked between the two as his uncle took him gently into his arms.
"I'll watch him tomorrow too so you can go to school." River chuckled as ant lightly ant wiggled in his arms.
"Bitch, no we both going I'm not walking in that hell hole alone." Rells drowsy response made him smile as he soundlessly rose from the bed and padded to the door to exit his room.
"If that's what you want twin." Rell heard before the sound of his door closing sent him off to a dark dreamless oblivion.
