" What do you want stripes? I don't want to join and I'm not looking for a fight "

" Neither am I, but I saw what happened. Do you know what you just did? "

" Back there? No I don't- but stripes that was a fluke! A lucky chance at sweeping Liu off his feet "

" Liu ist that easy to knock down y/n. You have that look. When you get deep into the fight and just can't stop yourself "

" What are you saying!? "

" I'm saying it seems as though you're stronger than you might have originally thought "

" So? "

" Ugh! You are on a level of a proxy yet you're human, at best your like...hm "

" Wait a second- " I fumbled my words. Hearing that would be a game changer

" Your at Lulu's level. You can fight but you main purpose is to sit on the side "

" Hey! Lulu doesn't sit on the side "

" Her fog can only do so much before her opponents get crafty. My point is you don't know how to handle these new adjustments to your body, let me teach you "

It almost felt as if my brain shrunk as she said that

" Haha- why the fuck would I let you teach me?! YOU WORK FOR ZALGO! "

" I don't want to okay!? He's stronger than me, I have no leeway to get away from him. I'm close though! Puppeteer and Lj are helping me to break out of his hold on me "

" Who's Lj? And what do you mean break out? "

" Laughing jack, zalgo can see through all of us but he doesn't watch me all the time just...temporarily "

" How do I know I can trust you? "

" Cmon. I came by myself and I'm telling you my plans, I'm glad you're there "

" Huh? "

" The manor. With Lazari "

" I didnt think you cared about her "

" She's my sister, I...love her. In zalgos world there is no space for love or any emotions for that matter "

" That sucks "

" Yeah...you don't have to decide now, just think about it "

Stripes turned away from me and started to walk away

" Wait! How will I find you? "

" You dont. I find you when the time is right "

And with that she was gone

Thinking about what she said I ran inside the house searching for anyone that might be home

Running pass the living room I saw Liu looking at his phone. It was pictures of him, Jeff and their parents

" Hey Liu- "

He was crying?

" Liu, are you okay? "

" Dont.. just leave me alone right now "

" I don't think that's the best idea- "

" LEAVE DAMMIT! "

I would be lying if I said I didn't jump when he yelled at me

Sitting on the sofa I grabbed Liu and hugged him tightly...just like I used to

Flashback

" Hey! Hey! It's going to be okay Talia "

" No its not! "

" Cmon! I wouldn't lie to you "

" Yes you would! You always play dirty tricks! "

" Well this time it's not...I know who would want you to be happy right now "

" Who? " Talia said with hot tears staining her small face

" Pop pop. He'd say ' Stop all your crying ' "

Tickling my sister I continued my sentence

" ' I'll tickle you if I see even one more tear! ' "

" Okay! Okay! Hehe " hugging Talia I thought about our grandpa...I'll mourn by myself later. Right now she needs me more than I need me

Flashback END

" Liu...I know you don't know me that well and we aren't exactly friends but, are you ticklish? "

" Why- " I tackled his sides attempting to find a ticket spot to which I did

" No- no no- haha- stop- you bitch- "

" Stop crying then! "

Liu was trying to push me away when he other hand slipped off the sofa and took me with him

" Ouch "

" No one told you to tickle me "

" But your not crying anymore, are yah? "

" Shut up! Your so annoying! "

We both turned our head when we heard the front door open

" I'm home! "

" Hey splendor " I said while also looking at the time. 7pm

" Um...y/n, are you going to move? "

Realizing I was on top of Liu when we fell I got up brushing myself off trying not to make it weird

" Okay, I decided to order some food so it should be here soon. Until then I'm going to go wash up because I reek of sweat "

As splendor ascended the stairs yet stopped in his tracks

" Splendor? " me and Liu asked in unison

" Um...offender is stopping by "

" Ugh! That pervert " Exchanging looks I questioned why Liu would say that

" Did he do something to you Liu? "

" Yeah, that nasty bastard tried to touch me. Then insisted he take me out to find a partner because I'm ' bitch less ' "

" Same here. I'm taken tho "

We looked back, splendors smile turned upside down and his eyes were stained with sadness

" Splendor it's not your fault "

" Yeah. Your brothers just a bitch "

I elbowed him in the side for saying such a thing Knowing it most likely wouldn't help

" I'm very appreciative of your attempt to cheer me up but offender is the way he is. Even as the oldest slender brother I cannot control him "

With those words splendor left with his head down

" So when do you think he'll- "

* knock knock knock *

" Hey! "

Liu had pushed me towards the door as if to say ' you do it '. I didn't find it fair but honestly what in life is fair at this point? Hm? Didn't think so

" Why cant you do it? "

" Because you're closer and I'm not dating his brother "

Sighing I opened the door with all regret in the pit of my stomach
