Twin-Power-Hour
Characters: Gael and Leon Shaw
Setting: Leon's room
Content: Uh, drug use but otherwise fairly alright.
Summary: Gael and Leon are just having a twin talk. Or attempting to, seeing as Leon's more blitzed than sober...and Gael's just Gael.


Leon flipped the mint case open for the eight hundredth time as he stared at the computer in front of him. JanJan's IM window was blinking again, but somehow he couldn't remember what he was trying to say anymore. He wasn't even sure he cared about what he'd been trying to say, either. Still, he managed to type 'sleep' before minimizing it and turning away.

"Fuckin' hell," he muttered, slouching in the chair as he stared up at the ceiling. His playlist flipped over to a new song, a vibrant dance beat bouncing about in his head as he stared. Maybe he should have asked what it was Sim passed him earlier, but as far as little pills went...Leon never cared to ask. And did it matter? No, no it didn't because as fucked up as this was...

It felt nice. Hell, he was almost giddy.

Turning around again he plucked his phone up from the desk and tapped out a text message to Gael, If you were blue, do you think anyone would say anything to you?

Gael had just been working on his homework when his phone went off, and since it was Potion's he didn't feel too guilty about just ditching it. Although when he noticed it was from Leon, he chuckled inwardly. Of course Leon would text him while Gael was working on his Potion's homework.

The text itself made him raise an eyebrow, though. What the hell was Leon asking?

You mean like ACTUALLY blue? I think you'd notice yourself if you were.

Maybe u don't see it as abnormal.

He spun a little circle in his chair, smiling a little to himself before finally standing up and moving to flop on his bed.

I'm bored.

Well yeah it is, but I think you'd notice and be like WTF. Yeah so am I. What are you doing?

If nothing else, Leon would probably help make his Potion's homework be not quite as boring.

Nothing. Come over here.

He had homework, he was sure of that. Just what homework that was? Well Leon couldn't remember that at the moment. He was pretty sure he didn't care at the moment either.

And despite having been in school for over a month now, he still wasn't used to not having Gael in the same room with him. It was weird.

K. Be over in a sec.

He got his Potion's homework things together in his bag and headed over to Leon's room.

Leon's room. Still didn't sound right. It should be 'their' room. This was definitely going to take some getting used to.

Gael knocked on his twin's door and felt more than a little awkward.

"Come in..." Leon called from where he was laying on his bed, idly tossing a football (soccer ball in American) up and down, before tossing it at the door as it opened.

"You could be color blind, and then you'd have no way of knowing you were blue unless someone told you."

Opening the door, Gael took one glance as his brother and then tossed his bag near the door. He walked over to the computer chair and sat backwards on it.

"Yeah, and I'm sure someone would. It's not every day you see someone who's blue. Or at least people would look at you weird, and that should clue you in to something."

"You wouldn't be able to count on that, though. I mean, really...."

He sighed and shrugged, eyeing his brother a bit curiously before yawning.

"You get a date, yet? I mean...that dance is coming, and you should ask someone."

"You would if you never gave people a reason not to tell you."

He stared back at Leon, an eyebrow quirked.

"Yeah, it is. And no, I didn't." He sighed a little. "Why should I ask someone?"

"Because only losers go stag, dude." He said as he pushed himself up and moved to his computer. He started typing something short and quick as he talked, "besides, how hard can it fucking be to get a date? It isn't like it is a girl's-choice thing."
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
mustbecharming From: [info]mustbecharming Date: September 29th, 2010 10:27 pm (UTC) (Link)
"Who said I was going stag? Who said I had to go at all?" He frowned slightly, wondering what Leon was doing. "Right, but I don't know who has a date and who doesn't, and who would actually want to go with me. What are you doing?"

mightbeclever From: [info]mightbeclever Date: September 29th, 2010 10:31 pm (UTC) (Link)
"I'm finding you a date. And you wouldn't know because you don't ask. What's the worst they can say? No? Oh...right, Gael is afraid of the word 'no'." He smirks though, looking over his shoulder at Gael. "You have to go, we're seniors."

"Wait, what?" He blinked at his brother in dumb shock for a moment. "You didn't just post that I don't have a date. Tell me you didn't."

"I didn't just post that you don't have a date." Leon snorted, though, as he typed a response to someone. "I typed that you needed one."

Gael gave Leon a little punch on the arm. "Fuck you!" He then attempted to drag his brother away from the computer and commandeer the keyboard. "Don't tell people shit like that!"

"Fuck! Ow! Hey!" Leon was pretty easy to drag away, but not before typing some gibberish.

"Hey! Dude, lay off..."

He moved in to take over Leon's computer and respond instead, telling whoever it was Leon was talking to that it had been a joke.

"I hardly hit you that hard. Besides, I think I'm justified."

"Geez, forgot you wanted to chill at home and do shit all in your room like mister a-popular you are." Leon rolled his eyes, reaching around to pick up the mint box on the desk.

"Wouldn't kill you to relax..." He shrugged again, though, turning as he popped the box open and sniffed out something to pop back. He snapped it shut again and stuffed it in his pocket as he found a drink to down his little pill of sunshine with.

Gael rolled his eyes too. "I'm not popular, and that's rich coming from you, Leon. I just don't want you to broadcast my single-ness to the whole school."

He glanced over at his twin. "Those mints? Can I have one?"

"It's aspirin. Don't you have your own?" He grumped a little more as he tried to push Gael out from in front of his computer. "Everyone already knows you're single. The Underclassmen know you're single. It isn't as if we attend some giant muggle school, Gael. People are bound to notice some shite like that."

He didn't really try to hard, though, before flopping on his bad. "Pretty sure people can see for themselves, 'oi, mate, ever notice Gael's never got a bird around?' 'Oh yeah, been noticing that myself!'"

He just shoved Leon back, elbowing him slightly. "Fuck off, man. You make it sound like there's something wrong with me."

He glared at his brother as he flopped on the bed. "I highly doubt that people care that much about my relationship statue."

"Oh yeah? Then what's all the fuss about them knowing your available then, eh? Not like your fuckin' Bruce or George. You've got a shot with a bird..."

But then he paused, before pushing himself up and looking at Gael with all the seriousness he could muster while high. "Unless your a poofter."

"If they're interested, they'll know. I don't see why I've got to advertise anything. And gee, thanks for giving me so much credit in comparisons."

He rolled his eyes but his glare subsided when Leon stared at him seriously. There was something a little off about the look, as though Leon might not be feeling well or something, but it was a sober moment and Gael could respect that. "Just because I'm not currently dating a girl, doesn't make me gay. And even if I was, it'd be my choice, just like it's already my choice to maybe not date someone."

"God, forget it....you're such a fuckin' wanker."

He fell back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling with a frown on his face. This argument was killing his little buzz and the second pill was a long way off from kicking in. Damn.

"Yeah, you'd run right the fuck home and tell mum and dad, wouldn't you? And then everyone would be all 'oh this is fuckin' fantastic. My star son's a faggot.'" Leon snorted, rubbing his eyes. "Shite."
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
mustbecharming From: [info]mustbecharming Date: September 30th, 2010 03:45 am (UTC) (Link)
"How the fuck am I a wanker?"

He glared at his brother again, though he stayed where he was. At the moment he wanted nothing more than to punch his brother in the face, but he wasn't about to jump him with no warning. "The fuck is your problem, Leon? Obviously I'm missing the bigger picture here, because you're not making any bloody sense."

mightbeclever From: [info]mightbeclever Date: September 30th, 2010 03:50 am (UTC) (Link)
"I said forget it." Leon snapped, pushing himself up on the bed again. "What part of that didn't you get?"

Of course the rest of this argument wasn't getting any better, at least not from what he was seeing. Gael had that look, and it was that annoying...'explain your problems to me' look, too. Fuck. "The big picture is you could lick a fat man's arse and people would still love you. There? Happy? Good...."
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
mustbecharming From: [info]mustbecharming Date: September 30th, 2010 04:01 am (UTC) (Link)
"No," Gael snapped back. "I'm not gonna 'forget it'. Why the fuck am I a fucking wanker?"

He kept his glare trained on Leon, determined to get to the bottom of... whatever this was. Leon had been keeping things bottled up for a while, he knew it. And it was really pissing him off. "No. I'm not happy. I want you to tell me shit. Where the hell is this coming from? Because I'm not sure how we got from my not having a date to my 'licking a fat man's arse'." He made a face as he finished the sentence.

"Because I'm just trying to get you to have a good time. Sorry, didn't know that was a fuckin' crime. So forget. Don't go to the dance. No one cares."

He sighed as he shifted on the bed, groaning a little as Gael kept talking. "It is a stupid argument, sorry. I'll shut it, now." Arguing was going to be the death of him.

mustbecharming From: [info]mustbecharming Date: September 30th, 2010 05:48 pm (UTC) (Link)
"Thanks," he quipped a little sarcastically. "I'll go to the dance, I just didn't see the big deal..."

It was too late, Gael wasn't quitting now. Leon started it, but he was going to decide when it finished. "Yeah, it's stupid, but you're not shutting up now. Just fucking talk to me, alright? I'd like to think it's not that hard. I mean, I've always thought I was pretty easy to talk to." Maybe if he changed his tactics, his brother would be more willing to loosen up and be real with him.

"If I am going, you can go. Don't you like to dance?"

As for the rest, Leon wondered why he'd even bothered to open his mouth. Looking over at his twin, he stared for a long moment, before sitting up slowly and rubbing his head. "What do you want to talk about? There isn't anything to talk about."

He turned himself about on the bed a little more, pulling out his phone to check for text as he put off further conversation just a little more. Why did people have to be so difficult? "Did you ever get a parcel from mum? Not that I trust her cookies, but still..."

mustbecharming From: [info]mustbecharming Date: October 1st, 2010 12:18 am (UTC) (Link)
"Yeah, I do. Which is why you being nominated for King is so funny."

He just stared right back at Leon, unblinking. "Whatever it is that's been making you such a moody little prick for the last... I can't even tell how long now."

Gael rolled his eyes at the obvious attempt to put off his questions. "If you get a parcel from mum, I get a parcel from mum. I think yours show up faster somehow, though. She just can't wait to send her little loutre little presents." He said the last bit with a small grin.

"Yeah, well I'm not going to win. Who the fuck would vote for me?" Leon said with a snort.

Staring at the ceiling, though, he didn't answer Gael's question still. What did his brother even want him to say? 'I am a fucking miserable cunt'? He just didn't have an answer he was willing to give. To himself or Gael.

"did you get anything good?"
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
mustbecharming From: [info]mustbecharming Date: October 3rd, 2010 12:52 am (UTC) (Link)
"I'll vote for you." Gael grinned.

He rolled his eyes a little. Of course Leon wasn't going to answer. Sometimes he wondered why he bothered trying. Hopefully some day his brother would willingly tell him what was wrong...

With a shrug, Gael glanced around Leon's room. "Mum sent me new gloves for Quodpot. You?"

"Shut up. You don't count."

But he rolled to his side then, fishing out the parcel thqt his mum had sent. There wasn't much in it, really. A new journal, an enchanted pen or two, then two new prescription bottles. Those two were the ones he pulled out to stare at them before tossing the rest at Gael.

"Nothing that interesting. A sappy letter."

mustbecharming From: [info]mustbecharming Date: October 3rd, 2010 02:02 am (UTC) (Link)
"You kidding? I could the most."

He caught the gifts and looked them over. Pretty much standard care package from their mum. He didn't really understood why she always sent them pens and journals all the time...

"It's Mum. Of course it's sappy. Plus, you're her baby."
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
mightbeclever From: [info]mightbeclever Date: October 3rd, 2010 02:41 am (UTC) (Link)
"Sure."

He put the bottles on the desk next to his laptop, before sighing. "I'm not...five minutes does not make me here baby, okay."

He rolled his eyes. "You know what I meant. If you want my company, I'll go. Besides," he glanced at his brother, "don't you have to get laid normally before you start randomly shagging on the front lawn? I mean, so far as I can tell the girl has to be comfortable with the guy before she does the kinky stuff."
