A Hectic House

Apple and Android

By the end of the day the kids were tuckered out and put up no fight to go to bed, Chase had remained a girl and Anti hadn't left his room at all.

Dark, who was worried about the glitch slightly, gently knocked on the door and entered, closing it behind him. Anti's curled up figure was underneath his duvet and facing the fall across from the door. He heard what sounded like a choked off sob come from the glitch before silence.

"Anti, what is wrong?" Dark asked.

"Nothin'," he responded, his voice raw and croaky.

"Then why have you been holed up in your room all day acting like a child?"

"Because I was in a motherfuckin tank for three days asshole!" Anti yelled as he sat up, the skin around his eyes were red and puffy and tear tracks shone on his cheeks in the dim light. "Why do you care anyways?"

Dark went to speak but stopped himself, choosing his words carefully. "Because it is unhealthy to not eat or drink for a whole day, especially since you have not eaten properly in three days."

Anti got to his feet and wiped his face. "I never eat properly anyways," he grumbled and headed for the bathroom.

Dark groaned at his stubbornness and teleported in front of the bathroom door. Anti glitched past him and slammed the door closed and locked it.

Chase tucked Lucy in before kissing her on the forehead and turning the lights out, leaving the room and closing the door.

Once outside his room he could hear Anti and Dark arguing a few doors down and rolled his eyes. He closed his door behind him and changed into a pair of Stacy's pyjama shorts and shirt. When he was pulling on his socks a knock came from the door and he hopped over, pulling the door open to reveal Google Blue.

"Hey Googs, what's up?" He smiled fondly at the Android.

"I wanted to make sure you were alright after your argument with that bitch- I mean Stacy."

Chase giggled and grinned widely at Google. "I'm doing better," he stared at Google. "I just wanna say thank you for taking care of the kids whilst I was having my fit."

"Not a problem, Chase," Google let a small smile crawl onto his face.

"You know for a murderous robot, you're pretty nice."

"That is the most offensive thing you've ever said to me," Google said bluntly despite having the smile still on his face.

Chase laughed again and pushed his shoulder off the door frame, feeling more confident than usual. "No but seriously Googs, thank you," then he leaned forward and swiftly kissed his cheek.

The Android froze momentarily. "All systems shutting down."

"Oh my sweet Jaysus! What have I done?"

"Anti it has been ten minutes," Dark knocked on the bathroom door and was met with a huff from the other side. "I know you are just sitting in there so come out and talk or I will come in and bring you out."

Nicely put my friend, now he'll definitely come out

Shut up Damien

Suddenly the lock clicked and the door swung open, Anti shoved past the older demon and stood facing the window, what appeared to be fresh tears glistened on his green skin.

Dark, he's upset with you

Yes, no shit Celine, but why?

It's obvious he likes you, and Chase is his least liked brother and this morning the only conversation you could start up was about Chase

My sister is correct Dark, go and comfort him

Dark took a deep breath. "Anti I understand that you dislike Chase, but I never meant for you to get upset because I worried about his well-being."

"Are you tryna say I was jealous that you mentioned Chase?" he giggled, his body jumping about spastically. "What bullshit!"

Nicely done

Shut up Damien

"You are Anti," Dark said bluntly.

You bonehead! What are you doing?

"I am not!" He screeched turned to face Dark and swiping a knife off the window ledge, jabbing it dangerously in the grey entity's direction.

"Yes you are," he repeated. "Look at yourself Anti, you have been crying and you are threatening to stab me because I mentioned your brother!"

We said comfort him not argue with him!

Anti's arm slowly dropped to his side and he slid the knife back on the window ledge. "Just... fuck off Dark."

Anti flopped onto his bed and curled under the duvet, yet again facing away from the door. Dark watched him for a moment before walking beside the glitch, scooping him out of bed effortlessly and flung him over his shoulder. "Scream and I will throw you down the stairs."

Anti simply fell limp and rested his balled up fists on the older's back. In the hall Dark saw Chase and Bing freaking out whilst S34N rebooted Google Blue who seemed to have shut off.

Once in the kitchen Dark set Anti on top of one of the counters and told him to stay before delving into the cupboard. He made a piece and nutella with slices of banana and handed to the glitch before preparing a milkshake.

Hesitant at first, Anti bit into the sandwich he feared was poisoned and  after an aching hunger clawed at his stomach scarfed it down and chugged the milkshake. Dark smiled slightly before making his face remain neutral and folding his arms behind his back.

"Gimme another sandwich," he grumbled.

Dark smirked, feeling accomplished and went to get more bread.

Once Google was rebooted the other androids asked what had happened.

"I um, kissed him on the cheek," Chase chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. "And he shut down."

"Oh my god bro!" Bing cried but quickly shut up after a death glare from Google.

"I was never here," SE4N said before walking off to his room, Bing quickly followed, leaving the super robot and the trick shooter alone again.

"I'm really sorry Googs, you can just forget it ever-" Chase's ramble was cut off when Google pressed their lips together quickly and stepped away, smiling.

"I cannot forget anything, I will speak with you in the morning Chase."

As Google walked away the trick shooter lightly grazed his fingers over his lips and in a daze closed the door, turned the lights off and crawled under his duvet, drifting into a dreamless sleep.
