Thread: All The Small Moments (Grizzly_Mang & Beelzing)

RE All The Small Moments GrizzlyMang Beelzy Damian nodded absently in agreement with his sister as she explained why she had arrived to become his sudden warden. Their mother was lovely person, in her own rights, but was far too overbearing on her children. She was under the impression that if her kids weren't constantly monitored, all the wicked forces in the world would descend upon them. Damian got it the worst from her, since he was the baby, and because of that he had been counting down the days til his parents' vacation from the moment he heard them planning it. He stayed silent as his sister examined him, which he was well aware that she was doing. They hadn't seen each other in years, he expected her to be shocked by some of the changes he'd gone through. Audrey, however, looked nearly the same as Damian remembered. He looked her over while she reciprocated, though his height gave him a slight advantage. The boy felt his face get a bit warmer as little blood rushed to his face for the first time he noticed how luscious his sister looked. He was thoroughly embarrassed by that fact as he struggled to keep that hidden. He was embarrassed because he noticed, but he was also embarrassed because he now knew that other guys were surely noticing themselves. His mind wandered back to when he was 10-years-old, and he was racing to his sister's busstop to greet her when she got home from school. When he got to the busstop he noticed Mike Legens, an older kid from the neighborhood who was obsessed with baseball, grabbing his sister and getting too close. 10-year-old Damian ran up and literally jumped on his foot, not understanding what was going but feeling strongly compelled to protect his sister. He chuckled internally at the memory, while simultaneously worrying about all the other times when he wasn't around to jump on feet. He was stirred from his thoughts when Audrey started playing with his hair. He blinked and forced himself not to turn his head, so as not disturb her fussing. He cracked a grin as Audrey fawned over his locks, chuckling aloud softly when she asked what their mom's reaction was. Ha, yeah, mom hated it and threatened to shave my head in my sleep, he told her amused. But ultimately they couldn't say anything about it. I'm maintaining a B-average in honors classes, I make my own money on the weekends at the burger joint next to the comic shop, and I don't really get into trouble. So, when all I want is to grow my hair they don't have much grounds to refuse me. And yeah, it's cool, you can braid it later. He was actually really excited about bonding with his sister now. He'd seen and heard the girls at school love his hair, and he always dreamed of sitting on a picnic bench outside the cafeteria while a group of girls brushed and fussed over his hair. Besides, it sounded like Audrey had the right attitude to make this three week stint an adventure. He smiled wide and pivoted on his heel, facing his little-big-sister. We can get some takeout, he said happily. I could throw something together, I've become a really good cook while you've been gone, but I don't think we stocked up on groceries for real meals, you know? I had been planning on spending this time solo, so there's a lot of quick and easy frozen food, but no real dinner stuff. What kinda takeout you want? I'm partial to the Puerto RicanChinese place down on 10th, Palacio Chino. There's nothing like tostones with your egg foo young.
