~ The next morning Luna was awoken by Topper. She hadn't seen him come home yesterday, but suddenly here he was shaking her awake violently. She had spent the afternoon peacefully with her aunt, watching old films on the large TV and commenting on the acting. Cynthia had apologised for not being there much over the past few days, but Luna didn't really mind all that much anyway: she was liking the lack of adult.
"Topper? It's like," She rubbed her eyes and groaned loudly before sitting up and looking to the small clock on the opposite side of the room. "9:30. Actually that's not that early but still- what are you doing?"
He held a look of rage in his eyes and he stared down at her. "Did you do it?"
"Do what?" The girl raised her eyebrows and let herself fall back into her pillow.
"Sink the boat. I know you're mad because you caught me doing drugs but that was a one time thing and-"
"Jesus Topp, I don't even know what you're talking about. What boat?" She retorted, kicking the blankets off of her previously sleeping body.
He paced around angrily in her room, but Luna instantly picked up the worry he held too. "Then who did it huh? Because this isn't fucking funny. This isn't just a joke."
"Woah hey calm down." She hopped out of the bed and made her way over to him. "What's actually happened? What's going on?"
The boy clenched his fists and looked down at her. "My new boat, that mom got me, it's gone. Or at least I thought it was until I ran down to check and it's fucking underwater."
Luna winced slightly when he swore, because it was loud and harsh and full of anger. "Have you told her? Your mom I mean."
"Have I- have I told her?" Topper let out a scoff. "Moony she'll literally kill me. It wasn't even my fault, but she'll get so mad and ugh I just, I don't wanna deal with that!"
The brunette began to hesitantly speak. Part of her was still a little on edge with him because of all his doings, but he was desperately worried now, and just needed someone to be there and help him. "I know you don't want to, but I think that maybe you should."
"But I-"
"Yeah I know she won't be happy, but your mom knows what's she's doing with things like this. She'll probably know who to call to come check it out, and even if it's damaged insurance will cover it, right? It will have just been an accident."
"Yeah. Yeah you're right. There's insurance." He nodded to himself, definitely talking to hi/ own mind more he was his cousin. "I'll do it now."
"Great! Okay problem solved." Luna beamed. Her stomach was rumbling and more than anything she wanted to go get breakfast.
"Can you come with?"
"Um, I don't-"
"Please Lu, she like you. She won't get as angry if you're there too."
