MHA #2 | Monday Morning

[knife_bender]

It had been twelve years since Diego spent a lot of time with a sibling and sixteen years since he had dealt with Five. Still, he should have known better than to tease his brother as much as he did about the Peter Pan uniform the island had given him.

When he had walked into his apartment on Monday morning the whole place was wrecked. Anything that had been on a shelf was now on the floor, all of the snacks (that he had specifically bought for that little shit)  were spread out in the kitchen and he was fairly sure Five bought a plant just to knock it over in Diego's living room. 

He stood there for a few moments, looking at the mess, and letting the anger just stew for a moment. Then he took out a knife and started stabbing at one of his couch cushions. 

Better the cushion than his own brother.

“There are so many reasons why not,” he said. “It might actually kill me.”

Diego, be more dramatic.

He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Look, I’m sorry. I can’t.”

"Hey, that's okay." Annie also didn't want to push him too hard on this, even if she really did think it might be good for him to, like, address how he dealt with this sibling - specifically, Five - stuff. "But like...let's find something to do when this kind of thing happens that isn't destructive." Hopefully he was going to be able to use a punching bag again soon. Maybe that'd help.

She reached out to lightly squeeze his arm. "Like, where do you want your new plant to live? It needs to go by a window." And then from there she was going to help start setting this place to rights, because that would also probably help.

Diego huffed, but he did relax some at the change of subject. “Better pick a spot where I don’t forget about it.”

There was no such spot.

"Maybe in the bedroom?" Annie suggested. Where she would also hopefully see it often enough to make sure it didn't die. "Then when it's warm enough we can put it on one of the balconies."

Sigh, yes, his multiple balconies. Annie liked her tiny apartment but like, Diego's was huge, like Rey's and like Steve and Danny's.

Look that giant apartment was coming in handy with all the siblings popping in out of nowhere.

"Bedroom is fine." He had no opinion, really. "If this plant is somehow sentient and attacks me in the night I'm going to be upset."

"It looks like a normal plant, but if that happens, I will totally take the blame," she assured him, eyeing the plant critically. "And I'll protect you from it."

Because more than likely she'd be around at night if he was, based on their recent sleeping habits.
