The Night winged and Feathered

Grown up

*Goggles prospective*

A knock was heard at the door "hmmm I wonder who that is." Goggles talked to himself. He got up from the kitchen table and put down his cup of coffee and pushed in his seat. He walked over to the front door. Another knock was herd from the door.

I opened the door to see one of my best friends, Gloves. "Hey goggles long time no see." Gloves said with a growing smile on his face. "Gloves!!!!! Please come inside." I said ecstatic. I opened up the door wider and stared to walk to my living room. Gloves followed from behind and closed the front door. Once we got to the living room we both sat down on my couch. "I've missed you!" I started. "I do too where have you been?" Gloves said with a tint of concern. " oh I've just been here." I said as I could feel my smile slowly start to fade.. I knew what he wanted to talk about now. There was a bit of silence before Gloves softly started to talk again. "Have you been inside here all week?" Gloves timidly asked. I only blinked and looked down at my shoes. "Why?" He asked "you... you understand don't you?" I asked softly, "is it.." He stoped to think. "Yeah..." He said. I continued to look down at my shoes. "Soo I'm guessing that's why you haven't been at training..." Gloves said looking at me. "I just- it's hard to talk about this.." I said fumbling with my hands. " I know I understand but you know what will happen if you don't do training," Gloves said with a tint of remorse in his voice. I looked up at him "I- I know.." I said I could feel my heart started to beat fast. "Goggles.. I just don't want you to get hurt your my best friend and it's dangerous with what you're doing right now.." Gloves said sincerely "But I- It's just so wro- wrong!" I said stuttering my words. "I know!! But you know what will happen if we don't!!" Gloves said as he put his left hand on my shoulder. "I- I don't want anyone to-" Gloves cut me off "Goggles I cant handle you dying!!!!!" Gloves said his hands starting to shake now. " Goggles please, your way to important to me!!! Your the only one here that is actually worth something!!!" Gloves said as tears started to stream down the side of his checks. I only sat there in aw I was shocked. I hugged him as he just sobbed in my shoulder. "I- It's okay everything is going to be okay.." I said we sat there for about a minute as Gloves calmed himself down. "I- I'm sorry -sniff I didn't mean to break down like that.." Gloves said as his breath was shaky. "It's okay" I said looking at his sorrow eyes. BUZz bUzZ~~~ "huh?" I looked down at my pocket that was shaking. I pulled out my phone from my pocket only to see a text from headphones. Text: " where coming back home 😕 - read more". "Shit..." I said under my breath. "What? What is it?" Gloves said confused seeing my expression. " it's headphones she's coming back. You need to go." I said looking up at him as I shut my phone off not even bothering to look at the rest of what she said. "Just headphones? But doesn't she like me?" Gloves asked as he stood up, "yeah but I don't wanna take the risk of glasses being with her." I said as I shoved my phone in my pocket and stood up as well. Gloves only looked at me and nodded. I walked over to the front door and looked through the peephole. "Carp!" I said as I backed away from the door. "What??" Gloves asked "she's here I just seen her car pull up!!" I said looking at gloves starting to walk towards him. " what are we gonna do??!" Gloves said with a panicky voice as his wings tightened up. "Hide!!" I said pointing down the hallway I was standing near. He ran out of the living room and past me into the hallway as he opened up my bedroom door and ran in closing it behind him. I speed walked to the kitchen and started to sip on my now cold coffee.

The door noob was twisting as the door was pulled open by headphones as her keys where hanging from the door, a sour expression on her face as she left the door wide open and bent down and took off her shoes. Glasses followed behind her as he scrunched up his nose looking at the keys hanging from the door knowing that headphones left them there so then he would have to pull them out and lock the door. He had a upset look on his face, he always had an upset face... he started to pull out the keys from the door " I always have to do everything! Don't i?" He said most likely trying to get headphones attention. "Oh shut up. I don't want to fight with you right now," she said rolling her eyes as she hung up her jacket. Glasses only snarled at her remark " Cod I hate you." He said shutting the door. "Ditto." Headphones said as she made her way towards me. "Wow real mature headphones." Glasses said "can you just go to your room Glasses I've had enough of you today. I'll make dinner." She said trying to get him away from her " whatever, I have to go and work on our plans anyway. " Glasses said as he started to walk down the hallway and into his room. "So how was your day Goggles?" Headphones asked her tone changed as she opened the fridge "it's been just like yesterday." I said as I still sipped on my cold coffee trying to make it look like it wasn't, "I'm sorry. " she said as she pulled out some lobster legs. " it's okay it's not your fault. " I said as I put down the cup as I didn't want to drink it anymore.. " yeah I know but I wish I could be here to keep you company." She said as she pulled out a pan and plopped it on the stove. " but you can't, I'm fine really it's better in the house alone then doing.... you know.." I said as I crossed my arms and laid my head on the table. "Yeah I understand. " headphones said as she picked up my cup of cold coffee and put it in the sink. I then remembered that Gloves was still here. " uhh I'm gonna go to my room." I said as I pulled out my chair "okay I'll let you know when dinner is done okay?" She said with a smile on her face " okay! Thanks headphones. " I said as I gave her a soft smile back and started to walk down the hallway to get to my room. I tilted the door noob to my bedroom and walking inside quickly just Incase Gloves couldn't find anywhere to hide. "Gloves?? Where are you it's me Goggles you can come out." I said quietly looking around my room. "Goggles?" Gloves asked softly coming out from my closet. "My closet?" I asked smiling "well you see I was in a panic and I needed to stretch out my wings." Gloves said as he spread out both of his wings out as much as he could. "Ahhhh that feels a lot better. " Gloves said with a satisfied expression. I only giggled at his comment "hehehe, ahhh... well you gotta get out of here." He looked at me Concerned waiting for an explanation " Glasses is here..." I said as my smile faded thinking about it. "Oh.." Gloves looked downed at his shoes. " how am I gonna get out of here?" Gloves said in a sorta shaky voice as he fumbled with his fingers, "here out my window. " I said as I walked to my window next to my bed and opened it up. "Oh... okay well it was good to see you again." Gloves said smiling as he turned around to look at me before he opened up his wings and pushed them in as he jumped out the window as his wings flapped throw the air, to keep him from falling and flew off not looking back. He probably didn't want to not take the chance of getting caught and being seen by Glasses even though his room was right across from Goggles so his windows only see out into the back ward. I let out a sigh I didn't know I was holding in as I watched him flap his wings gracefully threw the sky. There's really pretty.. I bet it must feel great to fly... I let out a yawn until a shiver went down my spine and I jumped from a cold hand touching my back. "eep!!" I let out a small squeal by accident, I was caught off guard. "Hey calm down its only me." I heard headphones voice behind me as I turned around to see her standing there. "O- Oh hey headphones! Is d-dinner ready??" I asked hoping to just brush off what just happened in hope that she didn't see Gloves. "No not yet, I just heard to inklings in here and I thought I might knew who that was, and I was right." She said smiling I let out another sigh as I was holding my breath. "Okay okay you win, Gloves was here. He just wanted to know how I was doing." I said giving up on trying to act like nothing happened, I mean headphones did like Gloves after all unlike Glasses. " oh that's sweet of him I wish I was able to say hi before he left. " she said with a tint of sadness in her tone. "Sorry... maybe next time?" I said trying to cheer her up "yeah there's always next time. I Should get back to cooking before the food gets burnt." She said with a small smile as she tried to look happy as she then turned around and walked away. I sat down on my bed waiting for the food to be done as I thought about Gloves and how his week was.. eventually headphones came in my room and told me that food was done and I went into the kitchen to see Glasses sitting down eating already. Headphones rolled her eyes as she walked over to her seat and sat down. I stayed quiet and just looked down at the ground as I came over and sat down at the only seat that had a plate full of food. I looked down at the plate of lobster and then looked at headphones. "Thanks for making food.." I said softly headphones only smiled at me as Glasses looked at me with anger. "I always make food when we get back but you thank her the 2th she has ever cooked dinner?!" He said with annoyance in his voice looking right at me. " I- I'm sorry.. I didn't mean-" I tried to not start something as best as I could " Oh just shut the Fuck up Goggles!!! I don't wanna here your sad attempt for an excuse! " Glasses shouted at me with anger in his eyes, I tried to not look at him. "Hey let Goggles be!" Headphones said with anger in her voice "oh come on!!! He dose absolutely fuckin' NOTHING all day as we work our asses off trying to keep him here!!!!!!" Glasses said as his voice got louder he was twirling around his fork as he screamed he had a small hint of cockiness in his voice but he mostly sounded really upset. I put my head down looking down at the plate of food in front of me as my hands where on the chair between my legs. "Oh just SHUT UP!!!! you constantly try and make arguments in the house!!!! Like none of us CARES!" Headphones screamed as her temper was starting to boil. "OH REALLY???? AFTER ALL I FUCKING DO FOR THIS TEAM AND YOU ACT LIKE THIS?????!!!!! FUCK YOU, ALSO I DONT "TRY AND START FIGHTS" YOU ALL JUST CANT APPRECIATE ALL I FUCKING DO FOR THIS TEAM!!!" Glasses was now full on screaming at Headphones, he stood up from his chair slamming his hands on the table shaking the plates of food and forks. " HOW DARE YOU! JUST BECAUSE YOU DO STUFF AND WE DONT PRASE YOU EVERY TIME YOU DO SOMETHING DOSEN'T MEAN WE DONT APPROPRIATE IT!!! AND THATS NO EXCUSE TO YELL AT GOGGLES!!!!" Headphones had now lost her temper as she was now full on yelling to. She also stood up, at this point my stomach hurt, as did my heart it was beating so fast.. I was terrified they both kept of yelling and screaming at each other as I quickly got up and ran to my room as they where distracted, I shut my door softly and locked it as I jumped into my bed and curled up in a ball and put my hands over my ears. I could still hear them, I always could but not as much at standing right in front of them as they fight.. this happened way to much in this house. I felt warm tears trickling down my soft checks as I shut my eyes tightly, as a loud thump was herd from the living room, I tried my best to keep my sobbing and hiccups quite to the best of my ability in the state I was in, as they probably wouldn't even here anyway but I was scared and didn't want to take that chance. I pulled my wings in tight onto one another as it was kinda of a reflex of trying to tighten my body into a ball, my stomach grumbled as I wasn't able to eat anything.. I drifted off to sleep after a little wile even though they where still fighting. I hugged my pillow close as it had a puddle of tears on it. This happened almost every night for as long as I could remember.. except when we where all kids and we all played together and had fun..  we all laughed and talked about stuff that kids  normally would... 

why did we have to grow up?...
