Shigeru was currently looming over the funeral room just after a funeral had been completed.
It was fancy, exquisite, fit for a queen.
The thing is, the deceased was actually a queen, so the pressure was immense. At least it went smoothly.
As soon as he started cleaning the funeral room, he heard his parents coming in.
Shigeru had no doubt he would be working extra, he always was working. I mean, Shigeru did make the family rich after all.
"Shigeru, my son, put down the broom.", His Father spoke. Shigeru obeyed, and set it against the wall. Was he about to get punished? The air was heavy, so that's a strong possibility.
"Your brothers asked us if they could go to the mall.", His Mother spoke.
'Uh.. what?', Shigeru thought to himself.
"And we're quite busy today, so we cannot go with him," His Father stated, "so we decided to have you watch over them."
'What was this? Are they jesting?' Shigeru thought, 'They.. they cannot be serious. I have not seen the light of day since Monday!'
Shigeru finally responded, "Wh-- what..? What about the mortuary? Don't we have a waiting list of--"
"Shush boy! Watch over Hiroki and Hikaru! We will take care of it.", His Father yelled.
Shigeru flinched, and... smiled. He was finally going to take a break.
"You needn't smile. You are only their supervisor at the mall," His Mother spat, "What a disgusting boy, thinking this is a break."
Shigeru's smile faded. Of course this wasn't a break. He reluctantly went to find his brothers.
"Heya big bro! Momma and Poppa letting you have a break?", Hikaru asked, jumping on his bed. Shigeru hung his head, and said, "No, Mother just said I'm supervising you. It's no break."
"Aw, they shouldn't be so mean! You're working too much!", Hiroki said, crossing his arms.
"C'mon now, let's go, or else we'll never hear the end of it from Father," Shigeru said, then he went down to their height, "you silly monkeys."
Hikaru and Hiroki shared a laugh, and Shigeru walked them to the mall, which was around a 10-15 minute away.
Once they entered, the smell of several stores hit the three at once.
"Since Momma and Poppa aren't here... can we go to Victoria's Secret..?", Hiroki asked Shigeru. Shigeru blushed, and said, "No. You two are nine years old, lets not go in there until you two are... my age."
The twins stared at each other, and nodded in agreement. Hiroki sighed, "Fine. But you have to ask Momma and Poppa for a break, or else you HAVE to take us in there!"
Shigeru chuckled, and said, "Sure. Do you monkeys want to eat, buy things, or play first?"
The twins whispered in each others ears, then said together, "Play and eat." Shigeru sighed, and said, "Fine, what do you two want?"
The three walked toward the indoor playground as they decided.
"Hot dog!", screamed Hiroki.
"Pizza!", said Hikaru softly.
"Hey wait, let's ask Big Brother! I mean, he is taking a break, even if Momma and Poppa say it's not.", Hiroki beamed.
They both looked at Shigeru.
Shigeru looked towards the Raskin Bobbins (yes, Raskin Bobbins), and said, "How about ice cream..?"
"Oh yeah! I forgot it existed!", Hiroki yelled. Hikaru nodded, and asked, "Can I order? Please?"
Shigeru handed his wallet to Hikaru, and said, "I'm only trusting you to buy only three cones, okay? Anymore, and I'm telling Mother and Father." Hikaru nodded, and left, making Shigeru nervous.
"I'm gonna play on the playground while I wait. I'm gonna climb on everything!", Hiroki screamed, and ran into the indoor playground area.
After a few minutes, Hikaru ran out holding three ice cream cones, all different flavors. Shigeru took the cotton candy flavored, while Hikaru and Hiroki took chocolate fudge and cinnamon respectfully.
Once the twins ran into the playground area with their ice cream, Shigeru heard something. He looked around, trying to see what the noise was.
"Over here.", the voice said.
"What the--", Shigeru looked towards his ice cream.
"Yes, it is I, Cotton Candy Ice Cream. You can call me Coca for short.", Coca spoke.
'What the hell..? Is this ice cream.. really talking to me!?', Shigeru thought loudly.
Coca spoke softly, "Listen closely. I want you to love me before I die. You love ice cream, right? Kiss me."
Shigeru's face went blank, he just stared at the ice cream.
He shifted his attention to his brothers, ice cream on their faces while they terrify a smaller child.
They're climbing the outside of the playground now.
They just jumped off.
Neither of them are crying, they're terrifying another small child.
What the hell.
Shigeru looked at "Coco" again.
He whispered, "I can't do that, I'm just hungry. Can I just eat the ice cream--" "Shhshhsh.. it's okay. You're afraid. Just eat me, go on. You're a handsome young lad, I'd love to go in that tummy."
Shigeru placed the ice cream down.. he was.. was too uncomfortable.
"C'mon, do it, you know you're hungry. Eat me.", Coco said in a seductive voice.
Shigeru crossed his arms, sweating and looking away.
"Fine, let me do this the hard way.", Coco said, jumping into Shigeru's mouth.
Shigeru started choking, he couldn't down the whole ice cream! He couldn't breath. He fell over and flimed his limbs around.
"Uhm.. what's Big Bro doing?", Hikaru asked Hiroki.
"Hehe, he's doing the do with ice cream.", Hiroki giggled.
"Ew!", Hikaru stuck his tounge out in disgust.
Shigeru was lying on the floor, ice cream in his mouth, melting. Children gathered around, sacrificing him to the ice cream gods.
Hiroki and Hikaru just stared, wondering if Shigeru was dead, or just delusional.
"Hey! Get to work!", Shigeru's Father screamed. Shigeru got up from bed, and looked around.
"You heard me boy.. get dressed and get your ass to work!", His Father said.
"O-oh! Sorry Father, I'm on it.", Shigeru said nervously.
Shigeru's mind wandered off after getting dressed.
Shigeru looked in the mirror and said, "What the hell is wrong with my brain?", before leaving his room.
