In a heartbeat: R.E Version [In Progress]

Chapter 3(R.E): Mayhem and Responsibility

A/N: Greetings,.(Data Redacted)

A blinding shower of light and heat showed off his sun kissed skin along the naked torso of his lean muscular built down to his well trained legs, no doubt from all of his training. The fabric of his boxer, which was the only piece of clothing he has on him currently, did little to hide his very much exposed self from the opened window. His black raven hair matches the chaos of his bed, scattered and is practically everywhere, his limbs spread out as if it was an attempt to dominate all still available space pushing out covers and pillows alike on the floor, with the exception of one unfortunate pillow trapped beneath the snoring young man.

Apparently, pulling an all nighter on Monster Hunter proved too much for the brute, burning through the morning hours and into the afternoon. Remnants of late night activity littered the floor of his room, from chips of every kind to empty cola cans.

There was a series of knock, banging loudly on his door and almost woke the brute up but lulled himself back to sleep after a long, loud yawn. Silence filled the room again. Then the door opened...

*SLAP*

"Arghh!! What the!? You assho-!!" The sharp sting on my chest woke me straight up, hissing at the burning sensation of the aftershock. "Language" my eyes shots up to him and sneered. "Do you kiss our mother with that mouth?" His face grinning ear to ear isn't my ideal "First-thing-to-see-in-the-morning" thing, especially not after leaving a hand print on my chest.

"What do you want!?" I snarled at him. I could go nastier, but I don't have the energy, nor a properly functioning brain for a verbal retaliation.

"Just stopped by to remind you to pick up your tux and Nicky's dress from the dry cleaners by 2 pm, and pick Nicky up from Lizzy's place before mom and dad gets back" he said. A low grumble reverberated down my throat. I know that already.

"Yeah, yeah. I know" I mumbled annoyed. He raised an eyebrow then chuckled. I look at him warily. Nothing good ever happens after that, "Alright" he said. Right, that's not good at all.

I stared at him, eyes narrowed down. He was wearing a white tank top, a basketball short and his gym bag slumped over his shoulder. "Going to practice?" I asked with no reason whatsoever, I know his team always held practice in weekends, summer break or not.

"Nope" he replied, popping the "P" sound to it. "Just got back from it actually" he added, stepping out of my room without another word. What? I stared at the open door for a solid moment. Their practice always finishes by 1-

I quickly turned around spotting my alarm clock on the desk. A little bit of panic and something dropping down the pit of my stomach had me jumping out of bed. It was 1:46 pm already, I searched for a shirt around my closet and picked up a plain navy blue one and put on my pants.

I rushed out of my room, and shouted across were I hope David could hear me from his room. "David! Can I borrow your car?" I asked, crossing my fingers, there was no way I could make it in time if used my bike. "You know you're not allowed to drive" he replied, I groaned internally. Worth a shot anyway.

I turned to rush down the stairs but David called me out stopping me. He throw something at me but I caught easily. I saw what is was, and smiled. "I won't tell, but please don't get you're ass caught" he said. My smile grew bigger, "You kiss our mother with that mouth?" I fired it back at him, he laughed in return.

"I won't, and that's a promise" I said, sprinting down the stairs and out of the house. No time to freshen up, I just hope I was rocking my Just-out-of-bed-look. I spotted his black convertible parked on the driveway. Mom and dad got it for him when he got his license, I was a bit stingy about it first but assured me I'll get one my own if I get my license too.
