Life Is Beautiful » Lil Peep ✔

~~part 22~~

The boy sat next to the girl on the rug in between the couch and TV stand. Ivy took the red nail polish from Gus and shook it up while the goth stoner was entranced by Spongebob Squarepants. The black-haired girl took one of his tattooed hands and laid it on his kneecap. She opened the nail polish and carefully painted Gustav's nails.

She finished one hand and repeated the same thing with his other hand. "There you go, Gus." He held his hands in front of his face like he had paid for them.

He hummed and pursed his lips. "I don't like them. Do it again, this time, better peasant."

"Boy, shut up before I hit you over the head with one of my Gucci heels." They both laughed quietly since it was 12 in the morning.

"Do you really have some?"

"Gucci heels? Yeah but they're worn out since I wear them all the time to award shows with my dad. I should replace them but I don't wanna since they're expensive." Gus just stared at her.

"Yeah can't relate 'cause I'm poor, ya' know." She laughed. "Stop laughing at me. I'm actually poor."

"Shut up, no you aren't. You have it better than some people I know."

"You know what I mean, dad."

"We're going back to that again? Well, my wayward daughter, you're grounded."

"Shut up." The pink-and-black-haired teenager reached out and started madly tickling her, making her laugh and fall on her side. He got on his knees and kept tickling her, despite her protest.

"Gus! Quit! Nail polish!" He quit and realized he got nail polish all over her shirt. Gustav helped Ivy up and apologized rapidly. "It's okay. It's just a shirt, nothing I can't replace. Do you have stain remover?"

"Yeah, let me have it and I'll spray it." Ivy didn't do as asked. "C'mon, the nail polish is gonna dry."

"Uh, I'm not just taking off my shirt in front of you." He facepalmed.

"Sorry. Go into my room and just throw it out at me, kay?" She nodded and walked to his room. Ivy shut the door then quickly threw the shirt into the hall, closing the door once again. Gus grabbed it and quickly walked into the laundry room, taking the stain remover out of the cabinet and spraying the red streaks on the blue shirt. He also took out the stain remover stick and went over the stains with that as well.

The boy walked out of the laundry room and saw Ivy in one of his oversized shirts and a pair of socks. She oddly looked beautiful to Gus at least, but that may have just been the fact she looked beautiful in anything to him. He walked over to the couch and sat in the recliner closest to Ivy on the other couch. "Your shirt is soaking and I'll throw it in the washer when I do my laundry tomorrow afternoon. I'll get it to you as fast as I can."

"No rush. I have plenty of shirts." She responded, not looking away from the TV. "Do you have Netflix or Hulu?"

"Both. I also have YouTube Premium but I never use it."

"YouTube Music?"

"Nah. My mom and I have Spotify Premium, Apple Music, SoundCloud Pro, and Pandora Premium. And I don't even use Pandora and hardly ever use SoundCloud unless I'm uploading a song or whatever."

"Huh. You're more set than me and my dad on Music." Gus just smirked.

"Finally, I'm better than you at something."

"Don't get too cocky, pretty boy."

Gustav looked over at Ivy, who hadn't spoken in a while, and saw she was asleep on her side. He turned down the TV but continued to watch the newest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race since he was about to see who got eliminated. The pink-and-black-haired boy sat on the edge of his seat and bit his lip, holding his hands together in a prayer stance.

He stood in happiness as Honey Davenport got eliminated rather than Yvie Oddly. "Yes thank you, Drag Jesus! If that's even a thing," Gustav said to himself then put his arms down since he realized he looked crazy even though no one was looking at him.

He turned off the TV and realized it got dark in the room without light. Thankfully, the boy knew the layout of his house pretty well so he was able to turn on the lights under the cabinets. Gustav walked back to the couch with Ivy on it and picked her up, her being lighter than expected. The pink-and-black-haired teenager carried the girl into his bedroom and laid her in his bed, pulling the sheets and duvet over her.

Gus kissed her head. "Night, Vy."

He walked to the back porch and leaned over the rail, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it with the big lighter his mom had left outside most likely on accident. Gustav looked into the distance at the trees that formed a small forest between his house and a small pasture with two cows, a donkey or mule, and three horses--one just barely able to stand due to how old it was. He felt bad for the animals since they were hardly ever fed that he knew of. Once, when the boy was 14, he snuck off and fed them and almost got shot by the owner since he was "trespassing on private property".

It saddened the boy thinking about the poor, innocent creatures.

Gustav wanted to do something for them but he couldn't since he couldn't take care of them and didn't know anyone who could either. And it wasn't like they could fend for themselves. He realized the best thing for them was to stay protected from the wolves or coyotes and be starved rather than get viciously attacked and eaten. He sighed and put out his cigarette in the ashtray then flicked the cigarette butt into the yard, hoping no animal got a hold of it.

He walked back in and locked the door and turned out the lights. The pink-and-black-haired goth teenager used his phone as a flashlight to make sure every door was locked before heading into his room and laying in his bedroom floor. He used one Peep plush as a pillow and the other as just a stuff animal held against his chest. Thankfully, Gustav had blankets'plush throws in his closet so he used two of them to cover his long, skinny body.

After tossing and turning and looking through Instagram for roughly 30 minutes, he was able to fall asleep on his carpeted yet hard as hell floors.
