I wanted to make the family resemble some of my home life. Note the insanity and incoherent crap that nobody understands. This is everyday for me people
Mrs. Chang sighed, throwing her brief case onto the floor, by the door, toeing her shoes off, and rubbing the sore soles of her feet. She had a disgustingly long day, it felt like nothing would go right. Three of her clients backed out of buying houses, at the last minute, making her cancel appointments, sending her whole schedule straight to hell. Her secretary was having problems, with her girlfriend, making her have a break down in the middle of the day. Forcing her to go home earlier then necessary. So all she wanted to do was, hug her kids, and snuggle down with her husband on the couch.
The house smelt wonderful, someone was cooking seafood gumbo, filling the house with the thick scent of heady spices. When she poked her head around the corner, and peaked into the living room, she saw Merian lounging on front of the television. A book was laying on her lap, her head lolled on the arm rest, a little trail of drool, on the corner of her mouth. Mrs. Chang smiled softly. That was so cute, and really nasty. She crept forward, and kissed Merian’s temple gently, letting her fingers run through her daughters soft hair. Gently she straightened Merian’s awkward position and covered her with a soft blanket. She moved to the kitchen next, were she found her other child. Wufei’s hair was twisted up in a bun, held together by a bunch of bobby pins and a large silver clip, his obscenely long bangs were twisted , and pinned to his head as well. Sweat covered his brow and the nape of his neck, every few minutes he would reach up and swipe some off. A large pot bubbled away in the stove, steam rising, and filling the room, making it even hotter then it already was. The ventilation system above the stove was on, so there was no smoke in the room. A cutting board, and various ingredients sat on the counter top, of the island in the middle of the kitchen. Mrs. Chang smiled.Bringing her self to her tip toes, she crept toward her son and wrapped her arms around his waist, nuzzling the hair on the nape of his neck, and inhaling her baby’s clean scent.
“What’s my baby boy making to eat?” she asked, playfully tickling her sons sides, making Wufei giggle, and wiggle away from her.
“Gumbo and homemade Peach cobbler, with chocolate ice cream.” his voiced sounded small and child like. He turned to his mother, noticing her haggard expression. “Bad day?”
Mrs. Chang’s eyes nearly popped out, when she made a disgusted face.
“You have no idea, Baby” she walked over to a large cabinet, and opened the door. It wasn’t a pantry but actually the fridge. After searching for a few moments, she finally settled on a bottle of vitamin water, and took a long, un lady like swig, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. “First, I was late coming in to the office. Then, oh you won’t believe this, but my secretary, Lisa, had to go home early, because she had a breakdown. Apparently her and her girlfriend had gotten into some huge fight the night before.” she took a breath. “Then one of my biggest clients, decided they didn’t want the, 1.5 million dollar ranch, they looked into, and canceled their appointment. And oh, your gonna love this, 2 more clients up and canceled on me. Sending my entire schedule straight to hell.” she took another swig of her drink, leaning against the island counter top, Wufei was half turned toward her, listening carefully to every word.
“Well you know what this means don’t you.” she asked, throwing her arms up and exhaling dramatically. Took a deep breath and turned toward her son. “Some one up there.” she pointed to the ceiling “hates your mama”
Wufei threw his head back and laughed, sending thick locks of hair flying from his bun and onto his face. Mrs. Chang chuckled as well, her left hand covering her face.
“Oh god.” her voice was muffled by her palm. “Come here, and give mama, a hug.”
Wufei walked toward his mother, and threw his arms around her neck, pressing their cheeks together. His mother sighed and squeezed Wufei, enjoying their hugs intended comfort.
“Thank you, that was just what I needed.” pulling back slightly, she looked into Wufei’s cat like eyes that were so much like her own.
“How was your day sweetie.” she reached up and pushed a midnight black lock away for his eyes. Wufei scrunched his nose cutely, and smiled. That was the only answer he was giving, so she took it as a good day. They stayed like that for a while, until Mrs. Chang remembered something else from that morning. She put her hands on her hips and pressed her lips into a thin line, brows scrunched in irritation.
“Did you know I got another speeding ticket?”
Wufei feel on the floor.
There was a thump, followed by a muffled yelp, coming from the living room. Breaking apart they rushed to the livingroom, only to find Merian mumbling sleepily to her self and rubbing her sore shoulder. Wufei rolled his eyes, and went back to the kitchen, while Mrs. Chang shuffled toward her daughter, chuckling softly.
“Oh hi mommy.” Merian mumbled, wiping drool off her chin. “When did you get home?”
The Chang library had always been a quiet peaceful. It was almost the exact duplicate of grandpa Ling’s (Mrs. Chang’s daddy) library, back, in his old English style mansion located in London. Shelves ran from the high ceiling, the cherry wood floor. A dark maroon oriental style carpet, covered the floor in front of, a grand fireplace. Carved on the mantel above the fireplace, read a quote that always made Wufei feel warm inside.‘The world is quiet here’
Wufei sighed happily and turned another page in his book. Shadow, his wolf hound licked the bottom of his foot affectionately, before going back to sleep. Shadow was a young dog, no older then a year, the runt of the litter. He was a large dog, covered in short black and white fur, big ears that stood up on his head, and the clearest ice blue eyes, you would ever see on a dog. On his back was a small kitten, her coat was completely black, one of her large ears folded and dropped slightly, possibly a birth defect, and had a soft wet little nose. Her name was Midnight, named because of her fur, she was found under the back porch, her mother and siblings had been killed a little after she was born. Both were affectionate, and seemed to follow Wufei were ever he went. Wufei was almost done with his book, when his father burst in to the room. In his left hand he held an mp3 player, and he was singing what ever he was listening to in a very loud voice. Shadow, and Midnight were ripped out of the nap, rudely, and growled at he offender.
“Never coming home, never coming ho-. Oh there you are.” Mr. Chang stopped in mid song, and walked toward his son. “I’ve been looking all over for you, munchkin.” he plopped down on the armrest of Wufei’s chair, dropping the mp3 player in Wufei’s lap.
“You’re the one that took my ipod? ” Wufei snatched his ipod and looked it over. “Why didn’t you just ask Daddy?”
“It took nothing. Your mom stole it last night, then I stole it from her just now.” Mr. Chang took the ipod back and began to flip through the songs. “Some of this stuff ain’t half bad. A lot better then some of the stuff your sister listens to.” he began to play the song he’d been playing before, and bobbed his head to the beat. Wufei reached up, and plucked a headphone out of his fathers ear, making him wince.
“You said you were looking for me?”
“Oh yeah. Um, your mom said your day went fine.” he stopped and smiled innocently at Wufei.Wufei stared at his father for a few moments, the corners of his mouth beginning to twitch upward.
“That’s what you came to see me for?”
“No ” Mr. Chang smiled widened. “I can’t come see my son, and bother him, when I please?” he asked mock pouting. Wufei was smiling fully now, he knew very well his father loves to bother his kids.
“Daddy” Wufei warned.
“Fine I’m bored, and your mom won’t play Resident Evil with me. She said it’s to scary.” he kicked his feet out like a small child. “And I’m hungry, and too lazy to warm my food up myself.” he sniffed and whimpered quietly. In an over exaggeration of sever fatigue he reached toward his son, and even managed to cough feebly a few times.
“Help Papa.”
Wufei chuckled, got up, set his book on the self, and made his way toward the exist, to the library.
“Come on Daddy, I’ll make you a plate.” he paused at the door way, sending his father a maniacal smile. “Then I’ll watch get killed playing Resident Evil.” he ran down the stair as fast as he could, snickering wildly, as his father gave a indignant ‘Hey ’. Shadow bounded after his master, with a mewling Midnight on his back, clinging for dear life.
Mrs. Chang was sitting at the couch in the kitchen, flipping through the channels, on the flat screen, next to the fridge. Merian sat with her head on her mothers lap, trying in vain not to fall asleep, as her mother stroked her hair. Both of them were dressed in there pajamas already, Mrs. Chang in an oversized cotton shirt and tube socks, and Merian in he telly tubby jammies. When Wufei walked into the kitchen, Mrs. Chang raised her head, and smiled at him, he smiled back. Mr. Chang came in just behind Wufei, carrying his PS2 under his arm, he was still listening to Wufei’s ipod. He got to the t.v and began plugging up his PS2, as Wufei walked to the fridge, pulling out a pre made plate, and popping into the microwave. Mrs. Chang made a angry noise from the couch and threw the remote at her husband.
“We were watching that jerk.” she said angrily.
“To bad, it’s game time.” he picked up the remote and flipped the channel to input. Behind him Mrs. Chang growled, and looked for something else to throw. Merian was fully awake now, staring from her mother to her father, a little smile on her face. The both of them could be really childish sometimes.
“Change it back right now, or-”
“Or, what midget.” Mr. Chang challenged, giving his wife a ‘Do something’ look.
“Who you calling midget, Freak” she was sitting up completely now, teeth bared. Merian wiggled off her mother lap quickly. Wufei moved behind the large island counter top in the middle of the kitchen, trying to get out the way as fast as possible.
“Oh, ho. So she wanna fight huh?” Mr. Chang smirked, getting in his fighting stance. Mrs. Chang got off the couch, advanced at him menacingly. It was an all out brawl in only five minutes, both parents had managed to pull there kids, in the mix. All of them were tumbling around on the floor, laughing, and jumping on each other. Life was always interesting, when everyone in your family is insane.
It was almost 10' o’clock, and Wufei needed to take his shower and get ready for bed. He disentangled himself from the heap, his family had made on the couch. His father playing Soul Caliber III against his mom, and so far he was wining. Merian was laying with her head against her mother’s back, she’d shout what move to make ever once and a while. Midnight had made her self comfortable stretched across Mr. Chang’s shoulders, and Shadow had his head in Wufei’s lap, nuzzling against his thigh gently.
“Your cheating ” Mrs. Chang accused, as her player was defeated for the 3rd time.
“No I’m not ” Mr. Chang shot back, while doing a victory dance. “If you knew more then one move, then maybe you would have won.”
“No It’s because your always picking Taki” she shot back “why don’t you pick somebody else for a change huh? It’s not fare, ‘cause you know all her moves.”
“Doesn’t matter.” he paused and took a deep breath, then got in his wife’s face “‘Cause you still suck ” he exclaimed, and danced out the way of his wife’s foot, laughing his head off.
Wufei shook his head, and laughed along with his father. Then got up and stretched, he needed to get ready for bed, Now. He gave every one a hug, and said good night, before making his way toward the stairs. Shadow trotted along behind him, one ear raised in curiosity.
His room was dark as usual, thin streams of moonlight squeezed between the gaps, in his heavy velvet curtains. Shadow sauntered in behind Wufei, with a half a sleep Midnight hanging in his mouth, by the scruff of her neck. She mewled softly, as Shadow put her down on the bed, before curling around her protectively.
Wufei shed his clothing quickly, dumping them in a laundry basket by the bathroom door. Nimble fingers made quick work of his bun, and soon a curtain of thick midnight black locks tumbled down his shoulders and back, reaching the tops of his thighs. Wrapped around his smooth slightly rounded hips, was an impressive Celtic style tattoo, and in his navel was a shining silver hoop. He had gotten them both almost 2 months ago. But he Wufei still winced inwardly when he remembered how he got both of them.
flashback
Merian was in front of her brother in her hands and knees, begging. She had put on her most pathetic baby voice, and even had tiny tears forming in the corners of her eyes. And yet that evil twin of hers still said ‘no’.
“please just hear me out” she begged, voice high and slightly hysterical.
“No”
“Oh God ” she launched her self at Wufei, clinging to his leg, preventing him from getting away.
“Oh God, Fei you have to do this. You just have to.” she clung on for dear life, when he began to shake his leg. “ How can you say no to your little sister” she screeched.
Wufei paused and looked down at his twin, temporarily forgetting to shake her off.
“Your 2 hours older then me .” Wufei wailed. Merian blinked owlishly a few times, then gripped his leg harder.
“Ok fine, you got me by default but-but” she stammered, then shrieked again when Wufei reached down to remove her bodily. She let go of his leg and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face in his stomach. She said something, but it was muffled, so she lifted her face and repeated what she said.
“But you have to anyway cause’ I’m your sister and you love me.” she batted her eyelashes, and smiled up at him triumphantly. Wufei stepped back and gasped dramatically, raising a hand and pointed at her with trembling fingers.
“Who told you that ” he screeched. “Who told you those lies? ” he shook his head in disbelief, blinking rapidly looking dazed, while trying in vain no to laugh. Merian stared at him, her mouth wide open, in an ‘o’ shape. Then she snapped out of it a launched her self at Wufei once more, but he side stepped her, and she went flying into a wall. She landed with a dull thump, upsetting a few picture frames on the wall, then held her now aching knee, and glared at her twin.
“Ow, you basterd.” she screamed, as she tried to stand. Wufei cackled.
“Look” she started her voice much calmer now, mainly because her knee hurt like hell. “I need you to do this for me.” Wufei opened his mouth, but she cut him off
“because I don’t want to do it alone, and you owe me.”
Wufei snorted. “I owe you nothing”
“oh yeah?” once again Merian smiled triumphantly as she hobbled toward her brother. “1997, summer time, England. When you abandoned me for 2 weeks, to go visit grandpa Ling.” she was right in his face, when she finished, her eyes twinkling insanely. She had stressed the word ‘abandoned’ because, Wufei knew for a fact that his Merian hated not being near him for long periods of time. To her it was like missing a part of her body, in all truth he felt the same way.Wufei sighed in defeat, and turned toward the stair case, leading down to the second floor of there house.
“Either we do it tonight, or we don’t do it at all.” he left, leaving Merian to do her happy dance in the hallway. She was in mid ass shake, when Mr. Chang walked down the hallway. He stopped to stare at his daughter for a moment, then choice not to ask questions, and walked away shaking head, and mumbling something about ‘crazy mutant earth worm babies’.
“Are you sure this is the place May?” Wufei asked as he pulled up in front of a building.
Merian made a face at her brother, and looked at the shady looking building in front of them. In the front it had picture of various piercing and Tattoo designs. The side walk in front of the store was dirty and smelled strongly of liquor, most likely from the club across the street.
“Of course I’m sure.” she replied haughtily, and began to walk toward the building, her nose raised in the air. Wufei fought back the urge to throw his shoe at her, as he parked his motorcycle in an alley.
The inside was much nicer then the outside, it smelled of ink and cleaning fluid. A pretty black girl in a leather lace up corset stood behind a glass counter. She had a tiny dragon under her navel, on the left side, and a long bar navel ring. Her dark hair fell to her shoulders, in thick waves, framing her chocolate colored face. Big brown almond shaped eyes, glimmered playfully behind thick lashes.
“Welcome to my shop. My name is Ryan, how may I help.” her voice was low and smoky, almost alluring.
“Oh yes we-RYAN? ” Merian stumbled forward slightly, face turning a bright crimson. Ryan threw her head back and laughed.
“Lets just say that mama was expecting a boy. Come on, you can tell me what you guys want in the back.” she didn’t wait for them to follow, but instead went straight to the back, behind heavy silk curtains. Wufei silently followed her, while Merian tried not to swallow her tongue.
Thick photo albums covered the small desk and chairs. Frames full of ever tattoo design filled the walls, and a long full length mirror stood in the far corner of the room. Wufei looked over every frame carefully, he liked the little blue dragon in frame. He didn’t want anything to big, because it would be harder to hide. Merian stood in front of the curtains fidgeting nervously. It might be a little late now...but she was really beginning to rethink this tattoo thing. Ryan smiled and walked toward Wufei first.
“You wanna get your done first, or do you want me to do your sister?” she began washing her hands, in a small sink, then began to placing her tools on a small tray by a dentist style chair.
“Wha- How did you know we’re brother and sister?”
Ryan looked at her like she was high, and laughed again.
“Twins. Hello ” she laughed, and rolled her eyes at Merian, who if possible, turned a deeper shade of crimson. Wufei wondered if his sisters face would explode, if she blushed anymore. Ryan flashed her a lopsided grin, and crooked a finger, in a ‘come hither’ gesture. Merian moved forward slowly, drawing every step, so it took much longer then necessary to get to the chair. After what seemed like a year, Merian finally sat down. Ryan leaned over her, a predatory smile on her face.
“So what would you like?” she purred, making Merian squirm. “Ahhh...how about a nice little” she paused, to pick up her needle. “Butterfly.” she backed up and smiled innocently, and that some how made Merian squirm even more. Her entire tattoo took an hour to do, it was a tiny butterfly on her biceps. Just small enough for her parents not to notice. Ryan gave her some cleaning instructions, and a pat on the back, then sent her on her way. Wufei was next.
Wufei had been sitting in a corner the entire time, and had gone un noticed the whole time, until Ryan turned toward him and gave him the same ‘come hither’ gesture. He unlike Merian, moved toward her with out hesitation. Ryan started down at him behind thick lashes, a crooked grin stretching her full lips.
“ Do you know what you want?”
Wufei shook his head, he had wanted the little blue dragon, he would even put it in his arm were Merian’s butterfly was. But he thought about it and didn’t know what he wanted.
“So is there anything in particular that you would like done?” Ryan asked as she prepared another needle. Wufei shrugged and looked over her shoulder at on of the many frames covering the wall.
“I guess I’ll take the dragon” he said, shrugging again. Ryan jerked back, a lascivious smile on her face, as she purred her reply.
“You know what would look real cute on you?” she paused, as she lifted Wufei’s shirt. “A wrap around. Lay on your belly” she ordered. Wufei stared at her for a moment, then did as he was told, abliet a little hesitantly. She lifted his shirt to his armpits, when he was completely turned around on his belly, she ran her fingers along the smooth soft skin along the curve of his lower back. Gently, she cleaned the small of his back and began to make the outline of his tattoo. It felt like a hundred needles were hitting the same spot over and over again, Wufei had to tense his body to keep from jerking away. But after a while he began to feel numb, the hum of the needle becoming a strange lullaby in the back round, lolling him to sleep.
Wufei woke up to find 2 things wrong, the first being a painful pinch in his navel, and the second was he was on his back. Now he was pretty sure he was on his belly when he fell asleep, so why the hell was he in his back? Cat like, sloe colored eyes, blinked owlishly at the completely white washed ceiling of the tattoo parlor. Ryan looked down at him, a crooked grin, adorning her imp like features. She backed away slightly, and pulled of ink stained gloves, in one graceful movement she removed the object that had been pinching Wufei’s navel.
“All done sexy.” her voice was high and screamed of diabolical scheming. “Your sister is in the front. She fell asleep a while ago.” she was sounding very pleased with herself, almost purring.
“Remember to rub a lot of A&D ointment on it, and clean your piercing at least 2 times a day with rock salt and warm water.” ok, know she had defiantly done something.
Wufei groaned, as he tried to move. His entire abdomen felt puffy and sore, it ran all the way from the small of his back, going all the way around to his navel. And oh god his navel The whole area around it throbbed, as well as the navel it self. He looked down, in hopes of finding out why, and nearly fell of the chair. That crazy bitch pierced his navel! A small silver oval, twinkled and winked up at him merrily, it would have looked good if the skin around it didn’t look red and slightly puffy. True to her word, Ryan had given Wufei a wrap around. It was a beautifully drawn, flame like design, wrapped around his hips and lower back, and by the looks of it, it was some Celtic design. It had been thoroughly greased with A&D ointment, then coverd by gauze and bandages. The end result looked, like Wufei had just gotten surgery instead of a tattoo.
“I said I wanted something small ” his voice was surprisingly calm, like he was completely unfazed.
“And I do not recall asking to get my navel pierced.” he winched, when he extended a finger to probe at the happily twinkling silver hoop. “Can you please take it out.”
Ryan smiled at him again as she nearly floated toward the curtain separating the back room from the front. She pushed the curtain aside with her left hand, using her right to beckon Wufei toward her. Wufei sat exactly were he was, face blank and expectant, waiting for her to come to him.
“Sorry my dear but I cannot.” she breathed, raising her hand to cover her bosom, her smile was wider now, more diabolical. “Because if I do” a dramatic intake of breath. “You could get an infection. And we wouldn’t want that now would we.” she crooned, shifting from foot to foot, looking rather smug, and quit pleased with herself. Wufei raised an eyebrow, but did nothing else that would make him seem angry, because at he moment he just wanted go back to sleep.
“No we wouldn’t.” came his crisp reply, as he got up in one quick graceful movement, but immediately regretted it, as his lower back and abdomen throbbed in protest. He took deep breaths to calm himself as he slowly walked toward Ryan. “Why did you pierce my navel?”
“Because your so sexy.” came Ryan’s careless and husky answer, as she gave Wufei another lascivious smirk. Wufei didn’t question it, he was to damn tired...and sore to care at the moment now, but he still hoped vaguely, that she hadn’t molested him while he was asleep.
“But don’t worry you wont have to pay for it. It’s on the house.”
Wufei snorted, he wasn’t paying anyway so it didn’t matter to him. It was dark out side by the time they left. A grinning Ryan saw them to the door, and handed them both 2 different baggy’s of cleaning supplies and instructions. They had found Merian sitting in the waiting room, hanging off a chair, and snoring softly. Ryan had gotten her up by poking her several times, then she was forced to catch Merian as she jerked awake, and flew out of her chair sideways, nearly crashing into another chair. Ever since then she had been asking Wufei what he got, and if he liked it, and why he wont let her see it. Wufei contemplated on whether or not to hit her over the head with his helmet. In the end he decided against it, seeing as it was a new helmet, and it was most likely come out more damaged then Merian. Damn that girl could have a thick head sometimes. It was nearly midnight when they got home, and the ride was a little uncomfortable because Merian had to hold Wufei around the chest instead of waist. When they got in the house however, Wufei made it very clear he wouldn’t be talking to his twin in a long time.
end flashback
Scolding hot water blasted from the shower head, fogging up the glass, and filling the whole bathroom with steam. Wufei tilted his head forward, allowing the water to splash across his face. He grabbed the bottle of shampoo by the sink, and thoroughly wet his hair, before he began lathering some shampoo onto his ends, and working his way up to his scalp. Shadow sat in front the shower stall, staring at Wufei through the steam fogged glass. Every once and a while he would whine and wag his tail, trying to get his masters attention, and Wufei would knock on glass, to show him he knew he was there. Wufei was so absorbed in scrubbed his ass, that he hadn’t noticed his bathroom door opening at first. The glass door slid open like lightning, and the shampoo bottle came flying out of the stall.
Merian was just about to ask her brother if she could use his toothpaste, when a bottle of Pantene ProV hit her right in between the eyes. She reeled back hard, falling in an ungraceful heap in Wufei’s large bathtub. Shadow bounced around her feet playfully, grabbing fallen bottle of shampoo, to bring it back to Wufei. Wufei took the shampoo bottle from Shadow, then bent to give him a kiss on the head, before closing the shower door again. Merian sat in the tub rubbing the angry red mark on her forehead, her feet dangling of the tubs marble side. That was the second time, Wufei had thrown something at her, in one day! Why in the world did her twin have to be so violent? Especially toward her. She was ripped out of thoughts by a dripping wet Wufei.
Wufei stepped out of the shower, his back facing Merian, giving her a full view of his butt. Bending over he retrieved a large soft towel from a whicker basket next his sink. He completely ignored Merian as he dried himself off, then moved to dry his hair. Merian glared at him the entire time, eyes never leaving the back of her twins head. Wufei ignored her as he began to rub some thick lotion on his skin.
“Hello! Still here you son of a-” Wufei’s towel now wet from him using it, fell on her head as he sat on the rim of his tub to comb out his hair. He was still completely nude, and seemed quit comfortable with his body. Merian began to yell at him again, and slapped his bare back, when she noticed he wasn’t paying her any mind. Wufei turned toward her slowly, and blinked lazily at her behind his tousled wet bangs. He dangled a comb in front her face.
“Either comb while you talk, or get the hell out.” he dropped the comb on her lap, and began combing his hair again. Merian blinked a few times, then grabbed the comb roughly, and started combing the thick heavy mass of hair clinging to Wufei’s back. It took almost an hour to comb through all of it, when it was completely combed though and dry Merian pulled it back in a tight french braid, making sure to gather his bangs in it as well. When she finished Wufei got up and walked out if the bathroom, in search of some pajamas. Merian stumped to his sink, and examined her mutilated forehead. The red mark look mostly faded, so by the morning it would be completely gone...hopefully. Wufei back into the bathroom, wearing an oversized shirt, that he had stolen from his father’s closet that afternoon. He picked up his toothbrush, and toothpaste, and began brushing his teeth, Merian glared a little more then did the same.
“This mark better be gone by tomorrow Fei.” she growled, she she finished brushing her teeth.
“Why would you throw a shampoo bottle at me!” she screeched, throwing her arms in the air, and nearly knocking over some lotions, sitting on the sink surface.
“Shouldn’t of snuck up on me.” Wufei walked out if the bathroom and climbed into his hug bed. Midnight purred and curled in a ball in his stomach, as he settled down for the night. He turned toward his sister and raised a questioning eyebrow.
“You gettin in or what?”
Merian pouted sulkily, but got in any way, Shadow climbed in as well, and stretched himself across their feet. Merian mumbled angrily to herself for a few more
minutes until Wufei tugged onto her own smaller french braid. She hushed and snuggled up to her brother, and in only a few minutes they were almost asleep. Until Mr. Chang came into the room, with only his pajama bottoms on, looking a little bemused.
“Have you seen my shirt?”
DestineysMistake: I only have one thing to say. DO NOT go to a tattoo artist who doesn’t even listen to what you want! You have no bloody idea how annoying and inconvenient that is. Luckily she was good at what she does so the tattoo came out looking really good anyway. Anyway I wanted base this chapter on everyday life for me. The whole video game thing did happen, like the other day, and my brother did through a shampoo bottle at me once. Luckily I dodged it before it before I was decapitated.Chives/appears in a santa hat and reindeer antlers/ please read and review guys! And have a happy and safe holidays. /winks and blows kiss Marilyn Monroe style./
Mrs. Chang sighed, throwing her brief case onto the floor, by the door, toeing her shoes off, and rubbing the sore soles of her feet. She had a disgustingly long day, it felt like nothing would go right. Three of her clients backed out of buying houses, at the last minute, making her cancel appointments, sending her whole schedule straight to hell. Her secretary was having problems, with her girlfriend, making her have a break down in the middle of the day. Forcing her to go home earlier then necessary. So all she wanted to do was, hug her kids, and snuggle down with her husband on the couch.
The house smelt wonderful, someone was cooking seafood gumbo, filling the house with the thick scent of heady spices. When she poked her head around the corner, and peaked into the living room, she saw Merian lounging on front of the television. A book was laying on her lap, her head lolled on the arm rest, a little trail of drool, on the corner of her mouth. Mrs. Chang smiled softly. That was so cute, and really nasty. She crept forward, and kissed Merian’s temple gently, letting her fingers run through her daughters soft hair. Gently she straightened Merian’s awkward position and covered her with a soft blanket. She moved to the kitchen next, were she found her other child. Wufei’s hair was twisted up in a bun, held together by a bunch of bobby pins and a large silver clip, his obscenely long bangs were twisted , and pinned to his head as well. Sweat covered his brow and the nape of his neck, every few minutes he would reach up and swipe some off. A large pot bubbled away in the stove, steam rising, and filling the room, making it even hotter then it already was. The ventilation system above the stove was on, so there was no smoke in the room. A cutting board, and various ingredients sat on the counter top, of the island in the middle of the kitchen. Mrs. Chang smiled.Bringing her self to her tip toes, she crept toward her son and wrapped her arms around his waist, nuzzling the hair on the nape of his neck, and inhaling her baby’s clean scent.
“What’s my baby boy making to eat?” she asked, playfully tickling her sons sides, making Wufei giggle, and wiggle away from her.
“Gumbo and homemade Peach cobbler, with chocolate ice cream.” his voiced sounded small and child like. He turned to his mother, noticing her haggard expression. “Bad day?”
Mrs. Chang’s eyes nearly popped out, when she made a disgusted face.
“You have no idea, Baby” she walked over to a large cabinet, and opened the door. It wasn’t a pantry but actually the fridge. After searching for a few moments, she finally settled on a bottle of vitamin water, and took a long, un lady like swig, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. “First, I was late coming in to the office. Then, oh you won’t believe this, but my secretary, Lisa, had to go home early, because she had a breakdown. Apparently her and her girlfriend had gotten into some huge fight the night before.” she took a breath. “Then one of my biggest clients, decided they didn’t want the, 1.5 million dollar ranch, they looked into, and canceled their appointment. And oh, your gonna love this, 2 more clients up and canceled on me. Sending my entire schedule straight to hell.” she took another swig of her drink, leaning against the island counter top, Wufei was half turned toward her, listening carefully to every word.
“Well you know what this means don’t you.” she asked, throwing her arms up and exhaling dramatically. Took a deep breath and turned toward her son. “Some one up there.” she pointed to the ceiling “hates your mama”
Wufei threw his head back and laughed, sending thick locks of hair flying from his bun and onto his face. Mrs. Chang chuckled as well, her left hand covering her face.
“Oh god.” her voice was muffled by her palm. “Come here, and give mama, a hug.”
Wufei walked toward his mother, and threw his arms around her neck, pressing their cheeks together. His mother sighed and squeezed Wufei, enjoying their hugs intended comfort.
“Thank you, that was just what I needed.” pulling back slightly, she looked into Wufei’s cat like eyes that were so much like her own.
“How was your day sweetie.” she reached up and pushed a midnight black lock away for his eyes. Wufei scrunched his nose cutely, and smiled. That was the only answer he was giving, so she took it as a good day. They stayed like that for a while, until Mrs. Chang remembered something else from that morning. She put her hands on her hips and pressed her lips into a thin line, brows scrunched in irritation.
“Did you know I got another speeding ticket?”
Wufei feel on the floor.
There was a thump, followed by a muffled yelp, coming from the living room. Breaking apart they rushed to the livingroom, only to find Merian mumbling sleepily to her self and rubbing her sore shoulder. Wufei rolled his eyes, and went back to the kitchen, while Mrs. Chang shuffled toward her daughter, chuckling softly.
“Oh hi mommy.” Merian mumbled, wiping drool off her chin. “When did you get home?”
The Chang library had always been a quiet peaceful. It was almost the exact duplicate of grandpa Ling’s (Mrs. Chang’s daddy) library, back, in his old English style mansion located in London. Shelves ran from the high ceiling, the cherry wood floor. A dark maroon oriental style carpet, covered the floor in front of, a grand fireplace. Carved on the mantel above the fireplace, read a quote that always made Wufei feel warm inside.‘The world is quiet here’
Wufei sighed happily and turned another page in his book. Shadow, his wolf hound licked the bottom of his foot affectionately, before going back to sleep. Shadow was a young dog, no older then a year, the runt of the litter. He was a large dog, covered in short black and white fur, big ears that stood up on his head, and the clearest ice blue eyes, you would ever see on a dog. On his back was a small kitten, her coat was completely black, one of her large ears folded and dropped slightly, possibly a birth defect, and had a soft wet little nose. Her name was Midnight, named because of her fur, she was found under the back porch, her mother and siblings had been killed a little after she was born. Both were affectionate, and seemed to follow Wufei were ever he went. Wufei was almost done with his book, when his father burst in to the room. In his left hand he held an mp3 player, and he was singing what ever he was listening to in a very loud voice. Shadow, and Midnight were ripped out of the nap, rudely, and growled at he offender.
“Never coming home, never coming ho-. Oh there you are.” Mr. Chang stopped in mid song, and walked toward his son. “I’ve been looking all over for you, munchkin.” he plopped down on the armrest of Wufei’s chair, dropping the mp3 player in Wufei’s lap.
“You’re the one that took my ipod? ” Wufei snatched his ipod and looked it over. “Why didn’t you just ask Daddy?”
“It took nothing. Your mom stole it last night, then I stole it from her just now.” Mr. Chang took the ipod back and began to flip through the songs. “Some of this stuff ain’t half bad. A lot better then some of the stuff your sister listens to.” he began to play the song he’d been playing before, and bobbed his head to the beat. Wufei reached up, and plucked a headphone out of his fathers ear, making him wince.
“You said you were looking for me?”
“Oh yeah. Um, your mom said your day went fine.” he stopped and smiled innocently at Wufei.Wufei stared at his father for a few moments, the corners of his mouth beginning to twitch upward.
“That’s what you came to see me for?”
“No ” Mr. Chang smiled widened. “I can’t come see my son, and bother him, when I please?” he asked mock pouting. Wufei was smiling fully now, he knew very well his father loves to bother his kids.
“Daddy” Wufei warned.
“Fine I’m bored, and your mom won’t play Resident Evil with me. She said it’s to scary.” he kicked his feet out like a small child. “And I’m hungry, and too lazy to warm my food up myself.” he sniffed and whimpered quietly. In an over exaggeration of sever fatigue he reached toward his son, and even managed to cough feebly a few times.
“Help Papa.”
Wufei chuckled, got up, set his book on the self, and made his way toward the exist, to the library.
“Come on Daddy, I’ll make you a plate.” he paused at the door way, sending his father a maniacal smile. “Then I’ll watch get killed playing Resident Evil.” he ran down the stair as fast as he could, snickering wildly, as his father gave a indignant ‘Hey ’. Shadow bounded after his master, with a mewling Midnight on his back, clinging for dear life.
Mrs. Chang was sitting at the couch in the kitchen, flipping through the channels, on the flat screen, next to the fridge. Merian sat with her head on her mothers lap, trying in vain not to fall asleep, as her mother stroked her hair. Both of them were dressed in there pajamas already, Mrs. Chang in an oversized cotton shirt and tube socks, and Merian in he telly tubby jammies. When Wufei walked into the kitchen, Mrs. Chang raised her head, and smiled at him, he smiled back. Mr. Chang came in just behind Wufei, carrying his PS2 under his arm, he was still listening to Wufei’s ipod. He got to the t.v and began plugging up his PS2, as Wufei walked to the fridge, pulling out a pre made plate, and popping into the microwave. Mrs. Chang made a angry noise from the couch and threw the remote at her husband.
“We were watching that jerk.” she said angrily.
“To bad, it’s game time.” he picked up the remote and flipped the channel to input. Behind him Mrs. Chang growled, and looked for something else to throw. Merian was fully awake now, staring from her mother to her father, a little smile on her face. The both of them could be really childish sometimes.
“Change it back right now, or-”
“Or, what midget.” Mr. Chang challenged, giving his wife a ‘Do something’ look.
“Who you calling midget, Freak” she was sitting up completely now, teeth bared. Merian wiggled off her mother lap quickly. Wufei moved behind the large island counter top in the middle of the kitchen, trying to get out the way as fast as possible.
“Oh, ho. So she wanna fight huh?” Mr. Chang smirked, getting in his fighting stance. Mrs. Chang got off the couch, advanced at him menacingly. It was an all out brawl in only five minutes, both parents had managed to pull there kids, in the mix. All of them were tumbling around on the floor, laughing, and jumping on each other. Life was always interesting, when everyone in your family is insane.
It was almost 10' o’clock, and Wufei needed to take his shower and get ready for bed. He disentangled himself from the heap, his family had made on the couch. His father playing Soul Caliber III against his mom, and so far he was wining. Merian was laying with her head against her mother’s back, she’d shout what move to make ever once and a while. Midnight had made her self comfortable stretched across Mr. Chang’s shoulders, and Shadow had his head in Wufei’s lap, nuzzling against his thigh gently.
“Your cheating ” Mrs. Chang accused, as her player was defeated for the 3rd time.
“No I’m not ” Mr. Chang shot back, while doing a victory dance. “If you knew more then one move, then maybe you would have won.”
“No It’s because your always picking Taki” she shot back “why don’t you pick somebody else for a change huh? It’s not fare, ‘cause you know all her moves.”
“Doesn’t matter.” he paused and took a deep breath, then got in his wife’s face “‘Cause you still suck ” he exclaimed, and danced out the way of his wife’s foot, laughing his head off.
Wufei shook his head, and laughed along with his father. Then got up and stretched, he needed to get ready for bed, Now. He gave every one a hug, and said good night, before making his way toward the stairs. Shadow trotted along behind him, one ear raised in curiosity.
His room was dark as usual, thin streams of moonlight squeezed between the gaps, in his heavy velvet curtains. Shadow sauntered in behind Wufei, with a half a sleep Midnight hanging in his mouth, by the scruff of her neck. She mewled softly, as Shadow put her down on the bed, before curling around her protectively.
Wufei shed his clothing quickly, dumping them in a laundry basket by the bathroom door. Nimble fingers made quick work of his bun, and soon a curtain of thick midnight black locks tumbled down his shoulders and back, reaching the tops of his thighs. Wrapped around his smooth slightly rounded hips, was an impressive Celtic style tattoo, and in his navel was a shining silver hoop. He had gotten them both almost 2 months ago. But he Wufei still winced inwardly when he remembered how he got both of them.
flashback
Merian was in front of her brother in her hands and knees, begging. She had put on her most pathetic baby voice, and even had tiny tears forming in the corners of her eyes. And yet that evil twin of hers still said ‘no’.
“please just hear me out” she begged, voice high and slightly hysterical.
“No”
“Oh God ” she launched her self at Wufei, clinging to his leg, preventing him from getting away.
“Oh God, Fei you have to do this. You just have to.” she clung on for dear life, when he began to shake his leg. “ How can you say no to your little sister” she screeched.
Wufei paused and looked down at his twin, temporarily forgetting to shake her off.
“Your 2 hours older then me .” Wufei wailed. Merian blinked owlishly a few times, then gripped his leg harder.
“Ok fine, you got me by default but-but” she stammered, then shrieked again when Wufei reached down to remove her bodily. She let go of his leg and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face in his stomach. She said something, but it was muffled, so she lifted her face and repeated what she said.
“But you have to anyway cause’ I’m your sister and you love me.” she batted her eyelashes, and smiled up at him triumphantly. Wufei stepped back and gasped dramatically, raising a hand and pointed at her with trembling fingers.
“Who told you that ” he screeched. “Who told you those lies? ” he shook his head in disbelief, blinking rapidly looking dazed, while trying in vain no to laugh. Merian stared at him, her mouth wide open, in an ‘o’ shape. Then she snapped out of it a launched her self at Wufei once more, but he side stepped her, and she went flying into a wall. She landed with a dull thump, upsetting a few picture frames on the wall, then held her now aching knee, and glared at her twin.
“Ow, you basterd.” she screamed, as she tried to stand. Wufei cackled.
“Look” she started her voice much calmer now, mainly because her knee hurt like hell. “I need you to do this for me.” Wufei opened his mouth, but she cut him off
“because I don’t want to do it alone, and you owe me.”
Wufei snorted. “I owe you nothing”
“oh yeah?” once again Merian smiled triumphantly as she hobbled toward her brother. “1997, summer time, England. When you abandoned me for 2 weeks, to go visit grandpa Ling.” she was right in his face, when she finished, her eyes twinkling insanely. She had stressed the word ‘abandoned’ because, Wufei knew for a fact that his Merian hated not being near him for long periods of time. To her it was like missing a part of her body, in all truth he felt the same way.Wufei sighed in defeat, and turned toward the stair case, leading down to the second floor of there house.
“Either we do it tonight, or we don’t do it at all.” he left, leaving Merian to do her happy dance in the hallway. She was in mid ass shake, when Mr. Chang walked down the hallway. He stopped to stare at his daughter for a moment, then choice not to ask questions, and walked away shaking head, and mumbling something about ‘crazy mutant earth worm babies’.
“Are you sure this is the place May?” Wufei asked as he pulled up in front of a building.
Merian made a face at her brother, and looked at the shady looking building in front of them. In the front it had picture of various piercing and Tattoo designs. The side walk in front of the store was dirty and smelled strongly of liquor, most likely from the club across the street.
“Of course I’m sure.” she replied haughtily, and began to walk toward the building, her nose raised in the air. Wufei fought back the urge to throw his shoe at her, as he parked his motorcycle in an alley.
The inside was much nicer then the outside, it smelled of ink and cleaning fluid. A pretty black girl in a leather lace up corset stood behind a glass counter. She had a tiny dragon under her navel, on the left side, and a long bar navel ring. Her dark hair fell to her shoulders, in thick waves, framing her chocolate colored face. Big brown almond shaped eyes, glimmered playfully behind thick lashes.
“Welcome to my shop. My name is Ryan, how may I help.” her voice was low and smoky, almost alluring.
“Oh yes we-RYAN? ” Merian stumbled forward slightly, face turning a bright crimson. Ryan threw her head back and laughed.
“Lets just say that mama was expecting a boy. Come on, you can tell me what you guys want in the back.” she didn’t wait for them to follow, but instead went straight to the back, behind heavy silk curtains. Wufei silently followed her, while Merian tried not to swallow her tongue.
Thick photo albums covered the small desk and chairs. Frames full of ever tattoo design filled the walls, and a long full length mirror stood in the far corner of the room. Wufei looked over every frame carefully, he liked the little blue dragon in frame. He didn’t want anything to big, because it would be harder to hide. Merian stood in front of the curtains fidgeting nervously. It might be a little late now...but she was really beginning to rethink this tattoo thing. Ryan smiled and walked toward Wufei first.
“You wanna get your done first, or do you want me to do your sister?” she began washing her hands, in a small sink, then began to placing her tools on a small tray by a dentist style chair.
“Wha- How did you know we’re brother and sister?”
Ryan looked at her like she was high, and laughed again.
“Twins. Hello ” she laughed, and rolled her eyes at Merian, who if possible, turned a deeper shade of crimson. Wufei wondered if his sisters face would explode, if she blushed anymore. Ryan flashed her a lopsided grin, and crooked a finger, in a ‘come hither’ gesture. Merian moved forward slowly, drawing every step, so it took much longer then necessary to get to the chair. After what seemed like a year, Merian finally sat down. Ryan leaned over her, a predatory smile on her face.
“So what would you like?” she purred, making Merian squirm. “Ahhh...how about a nice little” she paused, to pick up her needle. “Butterfly.” she backed up and smiled innocently, and that some how made Merian squirm even more. Her entire tattoo took an hour to do, it was a tiny butterfly on her biceps. Just small enough for her parents not to notice. Ryan gave her some cleaning instructions, and a pat on the back, then sent her on her way. Wufei was next.
Wufei had been sitting in a corner the entire time, and had gone un noticed the whole time, until Ryan turned toward him and gave him the same ‘come hither’ gesture. He unlike Merian, moved toward her with out hesitation. Ryan started down at him behind thick lashes, a crooked grin stretching her full lips.
“ Do you know what you want?”
Wufei shook his head, he had wanted the little blue dragon, he would even put it in his arm were Merian’s butterfly was. But he thought about it and didn’t know what he wanted.
“So is there anything in particular that you would like done?” Ryan asked as she prepared another needle. Wufei shrugged and looked over her shoulder at on of the many frames covering the wall.
“I guess I’ll take the dragon” he said, shrugging again. Ryan jerked back, a lascivious smile on her face, as she purred her reply.
“You know what would look real cute on you?” she paused, as she lifted Wufei’s shirt. “A wrap around. Lay on your belly” she ordered. Wufei stared at her for a moment, then did as he was told, abliet a little hesitantly. She lifted his shirt to his armpits, when he was completely turned around on his belly, she ran her fingers along the smooth soft skin along the curve of his lower back. Gently, she cleaned the small of his back and began to make the outline of his tattoo. It felt like a hundred needles were hitting the same spot over and over again, Wufei had to tense his body to keep from jerking away. But after a while he began to feel numb, the hum of the needle becoming a strange lullaby in the back round, lolling him to sleep.
Wufei woke up to find 2 things wrong, the first being a painful pinch in his navel, and the second was he was on his back. Now he was pretty sure he was on his belly when he fell asleep, so why the hell was he in his back? Cat like, sloe colored eyes, blinked owlishly at the completely white washed ceiling of the tattoo parlor. Ryan looked down at him, a crooked grin, adorning her imp like features. She backed away slightly, and pulled of ink stained gloves, in one graceful movement she removed the object that had been pinching Wufei’s navel.
“All done sexy.” her voice was high and screamed of diabolical scheming. “Your sister is in the front. She fell asleep a while ago.” she was sounding very pleased with herself, almost purring.
“Remember to rub a lot of A&D ointment on it, and clean your piercing at least 2 times a day with rock salt and warm water.” ok, know she had defiantly done something.
Wufei groaned, as he tried to move. His entire abdomen felt puffy and sore, it ran all the way from the small of his back, going all the way around to his navel. And oh god his navel The whole area around it throbbed, as well as the navel it self. He looked down, in hopes of finding out why, and nearly fell of the chair. That crazy bitch pierced his navel! A small silver oval, twinkled and winked up at him merrily, it would have looked good if the skin around it didn’t look red and slightly puffy. True to her word, Ryan had given Wufei a wrap around. It was a beautifully drawn, flame like design, wrapped around his hips and lower back, and by the looks of it, it was some Celtic design. It had been thoroughly greased with A&D ointment, then coverd by gauze and bandages. The end result looked, like Wufei had just gotten surgery instead of a tattoo.
“I said I wanted something small ” his voice was surprisingly calm, like he was completely unfazed.
“And I do not recall asking to get my navel pierced.” he winched, when he extended a finger to probe at the happily twinkling silver hoop. “Can you please take it out.”
Ryan smiled at him again as she nearly floated toward the curtain separating the back room from the front. She pushed the curtain aside with her left hand, using her right to beckon Wufei toward her. Wufei sat exactly were he was, face blank and expectant, waiting for her to come to him.
“Sorry my dear but I cannot.” she breathed, raising her hand to cover her bosom, her smile was wider now, more diabolical. “Because if I do” a dramatic intake of breath. “You could get an infection. And we wouldn’t want that now would we.” she crooned, shifting from foot to foot, looking rather smug, and quit pleased with herself. Wufei raised an eyebrow, but did nothing else that would make him seem angry, because at he moment he just wanted go back to sleep.
“No we wouldn’t.” came his crisp reply, as he got up in one quick graceful movement, but immediately regretted it, as his lower back and abdomen throbbed in protest. He took deep breaths to calm himself as he slowly walked toward Ryan. “Why did you pierce my navel?”
“Because your so sexy.” came Ryan’s careless and husky answer, as she gave Wufei another lascivious smirk. Wufei didn’t question it, he was to damn tired...and sore to care at the moment now, but he still hoped vaguely, that she hadn’t molested him while he was asleep.
“But don’t worry you wont have to pay for it. It’s on the house.”
Wufei snorted, he wasn’t paying anyway so it didn’t matter to him. It was dark out side by the time they left. A grinning Ryan saw them to the door, and handed them both 2 different baggy’s of cleaning supplies and instructions. They had found Merian sitting in the waiting room, hanging off a chair, and snoring softly. Ryan had gotten her up by poking her several times, then she was forced to catch Merian as she jerked awake, and flew out of her chair sideways, nearly crashing into another chair. Ever since then she had been asking Wufei what he got, and if he liked it, and why he wont let her see it. Wufei contemplated on whether or not to hit her over the head with his helmet. In the end he decided against it, seeing as it was a new helmet, and it was most likely come out more damaged then Merian. Damn that girl could have a thick head sometimes. It was nearly midnight when they got home, and the ride was a little uncomfortable because Merian had to hold Wufei around the chest instead of waist. When they got in the house however, Wufei made it very clear he wouldn’t be talking to his twin in a long time.
end flashback
Scolding hot water blasted from the shower head, fogging up the glass, and filling the whole bathroom with steam. Wufei tilted his head forward, allowing the water to splash across his face. He grabbed the bottle of shampoo by the sink, and thoroughly wet his hair, before he began lathering some shampoo onto his ends, and working his way up to his scalp. Shadow sat in front the shower stall, staring at Wufei through the steam fogged glass. Every once and a while he would whine and wag his tail, trying to get his masters attention, and Wufei would knock on glass, to show him he knew he was there. Wufei was so absorbed in scrubbed his ass, that he hadn’t noticed his bathroom door opening at first. The glass door slid open like lightning, and the shampoo bottle came flying out of the stall.
Merian was just about to ask her brother if she could use his toothpaste, when a bottle of Pantene ProV hit her right in between the eyes. She reeled back hard, falling in an ungraceful heap in Wufei’s large bathtub. Shadow bounced around her feet playfully, grabbing fallen bottle of shampoo, to bring it back to Wufei. Wufei took the shampoo bottle from Shadow, then bent to give him a kiss on the head, before closing the shower door again. Merian sat in the tub rubbing the angry red mark on her forehead, her feet dangling of the tubs marble side. That was the second time, Wufei had thrown something at her, in one day! Why in the world did her twin have to be so violent? Especially toward her. She was ripped out of thoughts by a dripping wet Wufei.
Wufei stepped out of the shower, his back facing Merian, giving her a full view of his butt. Bending over he retrieved a large soft towel from a whicker basket next his sink. He completely ignored Merian as he dried himself off, then moved to dry his hair. Merian glared at him the entire time, eyes never leaving the back of her twins head. Wufei ignored her as he began to rub some thick lotion on his skin.
“Hello! Still here you son of a-” Wufei’s towel now wet from him using it, fell on her head as he sat on the rim of his tub to comb out his hair. He was still completely nude, and seemed quit comfortable with his body. Merian began to yell at him again, and slapped his bare back, when she noticed he wasn’t paying her any mind. Wufei turned toward her slowly, and blinked lazily at her behind his tousled wet bangs. He dangled a comb in front her face.
“Either comb while you talk, or get the hell out.” he dropped the comb on her lap, and began combing his hair again. Merian blinked a few times, then grabbed the comb roughly, and started combing the thick heavy mass of hair clinging to Wufei’s back. It took almost an hour to comb through all of it, when it was completely combed though and dry Merian pulled it back in a tight french braid, making sure to gather his bangs in it as well. When she finished Wufei got up and walked out if the bathroom, in search of some pajamas. Merian stumped to his sink, and examined her mutilated forehead. The red mark look mostly faded, so by the morning it would be completely gone...hopefully. Wufei back into the bathroom, wearing an oversized shirt, that he had stolen from his father’s closet that afternoon. He picked up his toothbrush, and toothpaste, and began brushing his teeth, Merian glared a little more then did the same.
“This mark better be gone by tomorrow Fei.” she growled, she she finished brushing her teeth.
“Why would you throw a shampoo bottle at me!” she screeched, throwing her arms in the air, and nearly knocking over some lotions, sitting on the sink surface.
“Shouldn’t of snuck up on me.” Wufei walked out if the bathroom and climbed into his hug bed. Midnight purred and curled in a ball in his stomach, as he settled down for the night. He turned toward his sister and raised a questioning eyebrow.
“You gettin in or what?”
Merian pouted sulkily, but got in any way, Shadow climbed in as well, and stretched himself across their feet. Merian mumbled angrily to herself for a few more
minutes until Wufei tugged onto her own smaller french braid. She hushed and snuggled up to her brother, and in only a few minutes they were almost asleep. Until Mr. Chang came into the room, with only his pajama bottoms on, looking a little bemused.
“Have you seen my shirt?”
DestineysMistake: I only have one thing to say. DO NOT go to a tattoo artist who doesn’t even listen to what you want! You have no bloody idea how annoying and inconvenient that is. Luckily she was good at what she does so the tattoo came out looking really good anyway. Anyway I wanted base this chapter on everyday life for me. The whole video game thing did happen, like the other day, and my brother did through a shampoo bottle at me once. Luckily I dodged it before it before I was decapitated.Chives/appears in a santa hat and reindeer antlers/ please read and review guys!
