A Twin Nightmare on Franck’s Street

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The Emory boys had grown fond of Franck since meeting the other boy when they had gone on the camping trip and ended up the other boy’s cabin mates. It was still impressive that they had landed to have some particularly interesting amount of fun with the boy who got involved with their Game of Dares. The camping trip was long since passed and the siblings had been working n still getting used to life at the school. Not just because they were mutants but because they had never actually gone to a real school until they came here. Classes were interesting, the teachers were interesting, what they were learning were interesting, but by far it was the other students that the brothers found the most interesting. All the different personalities, hormones raging, and just the different powers that everyone had that made them special. The brothers were sure they would feel the same way about teachers too if they ever got the chance to really bond with a teacher, but for now most of their interactions had been with students.

Classes were over since it was the weekend so the brothers were interested in hanging out with one of their new found friends and since they had been thinking of Franck and the whole camping trip the whole day, he was their victim. The brother had grabbed one of the scary movies they owned, having thought of it as a classic and that pretty much everyone had to have at least watched it at some point in their life. They of course were dressed in the new school uniform but they had bought three matching shirts for them and Franck to wear while watching the movie. The shirts of course were modeled after Freddy’s shirt in the movie that they had picked, and that movie of course was A Nightmare on Elm Street. It was more creepy and gory then scary in the brother’s opinions but it was still a classic, at least again that was what one of their circus family members had told them when they had given the brothers the movie.

It took a little while to walk down into town since neither of the brothers had their licence to drive and they didn't trust a cab to get them there, but they eventually made it to Franck's house. They personally found it a little weird that he was not living on campus and they were going to give him a rough time about making them travel this far to come see him, but for bow they straightened up their uniform and knocked on the door. They did understand that they could have changed before coming down into town, but they had already headed out before they had thought of that and didn't feel like turning back so Franck was just going to have to deal with them changing out of the uniform at a certain point. “Franck! Open up!” The brothers said together. It was a bit lacking in creativity but they had not been able to agree upon what they were going to say when they were on their way over her.

[François Laffont]

François found adapting to the new atmosphere around school as not something too difficult. It was still a bit odd to count the headmistress as one of his closest friends or to be told by the other half of the administration to speak the brutal truth to her should she ever go too far but all in all, it went pretty well. Not like he expected it to be tough but he did have to see most of his friends graduate while he was still stuck in high school. He was glad their friendship had not changed too much. He felt a responsibility towards the school now or, to be precise, its students. Of course, it only made him look like he wanted to help even more, so it wasn’t like people noticed a change much in him.

One had occurred however. He was trying to grow a spine, to learn to say no to those who used him as opposed to those who needed him. He also learned to enjoy having some fun. Not that he never had any, try not to know the definition of fun when your best friend is Frank Cox, but he had never been selfish in his pleasure. Now he realised that doing what François Laffont wanted once in a while was a good thing. And he had the Emory twins to thank.

He had not seen them a lot since. Oh, he noticed them at school, of course, but he never forced his presence upon them. He was busy enough anyway. So much that he was actually glad he was no college students for the amount of work added to what he was doing already would kill him. He would have to find a way to balance his time better though, for next year it would be so. Therefore, the weekend became his study time. And he didn’t expect it today to be disrupted.

Of course, it would be easier to have a schedule Franck could follow if his friends were not the types to randomly show up with some brilliant plan that he simply had to play along. Maybe he should start his no campaign with them and have them ask if he could spend time with them first. Not like that would happen but the thought did cross his mind when he heard the doorbell. Knowing that his father wasn’t home for most of the day, he went to the door to answer. He was actually surprised to hear the twins as he wasn’t aware they knew where he lived. He opened up and there they were, staring at him in uniforms. “How did you know where I lived?” he asked as he looked at them. Of course, it was only later that he realised his address was more than likely written somewhere at the school. They could probably get it out of Frank too. She was able to give his address to every cute guy she met, just in case.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Should we have brought a house warming gift?" Jasper asked after they had knocked at the door and they were now waiting for Franck to show up. The brothers had pretty much agreed that if Franck was not here that they would probably end up doing something bad as pay back for their whole trip walking here only for Franck to not be here. Even if it would have been their fault for not calling in advance and getting information from Franck to make sure everything was cool. "Well...I think you only do that when someone is first moving into a house...and we did bring these shirts." Casper responded back to his brother as he held up the said Freddy shirts that he was holding. They had actually found them in town on sale, even if Halloween was still a little while away. The brothers didn't know what they would end up being but they certainly did not plan on being Freddy for Halloween.

Franck then opened up the door and grabbed the brother’s attention, the two of them giving a casual wave and smiled at Franck until Franck gave them a greeting or lack thereof. "Well, hi to you too." Jasper said as he just wormed his way around Franck to go into the other boy’s house. Yes, it was a bit rude, but this was Jasper and he honestly only did it because he was slightly bothered that Franck greeted them the way he did. Casper of course was not really bothered by it because they were showing up out of the blue and it had to be a little creepy for people to just end up showing at your house if you were not even sure how they knew where you lived in the first place. "We looked it up and asked around. Walked all the way here so I hope for your sake you don't mind us hanging out with you for a little while." Casper said, basically suggesting that Franck would just be okay with them being here because if not Jasper was probably going to end up throwing a fit.

You didn't want a twin with the Emory's powers to be throwing a fit in your house since he had basically made his way in and doubted that Franck could stop him. "We brought a movie to watch with you." Jasper said as he started to look around, but didn't really go too far because he pretty much needed his brother within his sights in this new environment. Casper remained outside and waited for Franck to invite him in as he held up the shirts. "I hope you are not to terribly busy." Casper added, still making sure that there was a level of politeness in the conversation because there was not going to be any coming from Jasper any time soon.

[François Laffont]

Franck never meant to disrespect the twins. He was surprised to see them here and because of that, he couldn’t help letting that out instead of something more polite and normal, like greeting them. He didn’t mind their presence. Well, maybe a little. He wanted to work today and it would be hard with them as they proved to be as distracting as his friend Frank. He realised it might have come as rude though with the way Jasper acted. He moved away to let Casper come in, feeling bad for his reaction. “Yes, of course, hello. I’m sorry, you just surprised me, I had no idea you knew where I lived,” he said, looking in Jasper’s direction, hoping they can forget about this. It was a trivial matter, of course they’ll shake it off but Franck still felt like his reaction might have bugged Jasper more than he ever meant to and he wanted to apologize for it.

“Not at all, come in. I was doing some homework,” he explained. What Casper said made sense. It was not like his address was confidential. It shouldn’t be hard to find it. Still, he was surprised they walked all the way here to see him. He did feel like pointing out they maybe should have thought calling him first but he had the feeling he already started this day not in the way the boys had planned it.

He wondered what they wanted though. He figured he had been their plaything during the camping trip and they found another as they didn't spend much time together since. He didn’t really mind but it was a big change, to go from barely talking to suddenly end up at his door. They finally told him they came with a movie. They came all the way here just to watch a movie with him? He wasn’t sure if he should find it weird or be touched about it. He looked at them both, not sure whether or not he should ask them if they seriously came here just to watch a movie on a DVD. “I think I got some popcorn left somewhere,” was about all he found himself to say.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

With the twins here the chances of Franck getting anything done would be slim. They had a habit of making sure that all eyes were on them at all times because they were entertainers and that was how they liked it. Franck would have to focus on them or do something with them in order to get anything done. When Franck moved to the side Casper walked in and grabbed a hold of his brother to keep him from running off and looking around Franck’s entire house without permission. "Manners Jasper." Casper pointed out to his brother who let out a sigh but remained next to his brother’s side with the two of them looking at Franck. "It’s fine. I forgive you. Just give me a kiss right here to really make it up to me, because I was hurt by such words." Jasper said with a smirk as he pointed to his lips when telling Franck where he had to kiss him to make it better.

Casper didn't say anything on that and would leave it to Franck to decide if he was going to do as Jasper had asked of him. The siblings did both make a face when Franck said that he was doing homework, reminding the brothers that they had homework to get to but they would just end up doing it later on. For now they had made the whole journey of walking all the way here to hang out with the other boy so that was what they were going to do. Homework and anything else could wait and if Franck had anyone over then they were going to have to leave because this was the twin’s time with Franck. They did not mean to have not talked and hung out with Franck all this time, they just tended to get up getting busy with other things. They had other toys to bother, break, play with, and of course all of that mutant school stuff to deal with.

Plus Franck lived off campus and the brothers may like to have been active but they did not plan to make the journey here all the time so they were blaming Franck for their lack of spending time with him. Everyone should just have lived on campus to make things easier in the boy’s minds. Franck brought up popcorn, which was not a so that mean the brothers were going to get what they wanted. "Perfect, show us to where you watch movies?" Casper asked as he moved to put an arm around Franck's shoulder to stick close to the boy. "Can you tell me where your bathroom is because I have to take a piss like a waterfall." Jasper pointed out since now that they were here he could feel his bladder telling him it was time to let lose the flood gates. "I told you to go before we left." Casper said with a slight grumble at his brother.

[François Laffont]

Franck might not have the guts to tell Jasper he should mind his manners but his brother obviously did. Franck sighed a bit and had a smile as he looked at them but it had nothing to do with the fact someone was here to keep Jasper on a leash. He was just proud that he actually got their names right, at least in his head as he had yet called them by their names. Franck had grown used to deal with random, unpredictable stuff falling on him. He had to learn how to react quickly with Frank. Last time, the twins caught him off guard mainly because they were two and they got real intimate with him quickly. He wouldn’t let that happened that easily this time. It was why, when Jasper said he required a kiss, he only laughed a bit, closing the door behind him. “Oh, so that’s the real reason why you two came here.” To the boy’s disappointment, Franck did not kiss him.

Franck admitted he was busy doing homework not in an attempt to get rid of them. He could still study later, once they were gone. Franck always made sure not to be late with his work. Besides, it would be rude, knowing they made the way here when they probably didn’t know the town too well, to just ask them to leave. No, he said it only because Casper asked if he was busy. He supposed he could say he was not.

Franck was about to answer, or more like ask where exactly the brothers preferred to watch their movies, and possibly ask what movie it was, but Jasper interrupted him before he could even start saying all this by asking where the bathroom was. “Oh, sure. It’s just over there, first door on the right,” he said, pointing at a corridor. He didn't mind of course, even though the comment caught him more off guard than he meant to. Hey, he might have learned to jump right back on his feet and be ready for everything, he still needed a second from time to time to adjust. And while Jasper was busy finding the bathroom, he walked into the main area of the house, the living room. It wasn’t like the place was too big for Jasper to get lost, he should be fine finding them in here. “How are you, by the way?” he asked him. He should probably make some popcorn as apparently the twins came in here with everything already settled. But he preferred to wait for Jasper to be back so they can accept watching it in here. Because the other option was Franck’s computer in his room. Even though he bet the boys wouldn’t mind an excuse to get in his room, the television was clearly a better choice than a laptop screen.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The siblings didn't know what Franck had in mind for their relationship but they would not be against having some more fun with him like they did in the lake. If anything they wanted to see how Franck was in a bed. "No, not really. We of course not would be against a repeat if you wanted it." Casper responded back to Franck's words about why they were really here. The siblings did not plan on coming over her just to make out or whatever with Franck and wanted to watch a movie. Anything past that would just be a bonus for them. Jasper had something of a mixed expression of a pout and a disappointed spread across his face as Franck didn't give him a kiss to make it better or even say anything about the kiss. How dare he turn down Jasper when he clearly wanted a kiss from the other boy. Even if it had been just him teasing, he still wanted the kiss and after what they had done he figured getting a kiss from Franck would be easy.

Apparently Franck is now going to prove that he is not easy. Jasper thought to himself as he let out a grumble but didn't say anything on that matter but he was not going to forget about it so easily. Casper was not bothered at all since he didn't ask for a kiss and it was not that big of a deal to him since it was just a kiss. Jasper went off to the bathroom when Franck told him where it was. He planned to cause some 'damage' in said bathroom but got a look from his brother so decided to behave for now for just a little longer. Already having decided that if Franck didn't end up giving him a kiss or actually making up the lack of joy for seeing the brothers come visit him, then he would get him back. Casper moved with Franck instead to where they could watch a movie and was not surprised that Franck was going for a living room viewing over a bedroom viewing.

The public location was probably better for Franck to pick because the twins doubted they would do anything really bad if say Franck's parents would walk in on them. Casper was caught slightly off guard by the question directed at him. Blinking at Franck and then looking around for his brother as if to make sure that Franck was actually talking to him or that he could not answer a question without his brother around. "Uh...I'm fine. How are you?" Casper asked as he looked at Franck, still feeling slightly awkward for a moment but it went away when Jasper returned after a minute or two after handling his business. "I washed my hands. Whatever hand soup you use smells amazing." Jasper pointed out as he practically was shoving his hand in his brother’s face to get him to smell it.

[François Laffont]

Franck opened his mouth, as if to reply something at Casper’s words but he simply shut it back, chuckling. He forgot how good they were at twisting his words. They probably had a lot of fun making it sound like he was the one wanting another go while he simply responded to Jasper’s request for a kiss. He knew the boys thought of this as a game and nothing more. Franck never saw it that way so kissing Jasper, all in good fun, was not something he’d ever think he was able to do. He already did once, of course, and they could point it out. He did like acting on an impulse for once, not really caring what others might think or if it was right. He was not doing it a lot. But he didn’t intend to let the twins trick him that easily this time. He was prepared, he knew them better than he did the last time. He was making a mental note to watch what he would say from now on, even though he bet they could use about anything if they really wanted to.

Franck sensed the negative emotions that pierced at the surface. He stared at Jasper, wondering why he was like this all of a sudden. Because of a kiss? Franck was almost tempted to give him one right now so he would be in a better mood. But that was kind of failing at his plan of not letting their emotions take the best of him. He would give in after three minutes. Come to think of it, they won before that as he had not kicked them out or anything. Still, now he was wondering over Jasper and probably would until he was certain the boy was not pissed at him anymore, even just a tiny bit.

He wanted to make sure both brothers were fine with the living room. He thought the bigger flat screen was a better option than a computer screen. There was no other television in the house so they would have to deal with it. Since they were waiting for Jasper to join them, he talked to his brother. And ended up frowning again. It was as if he couldn’t answer without Jasper around. Had he not seen them naked, he’d swear they used to be Siamese twins attached by the hip before being separated physically but not mentally. He finally answered and Franck smiled to him, chasing that thought away. “I’m good. You know, you guys didn’t need to come over in your uniforms. We’re not at the school here,” he said with a little smile. It was only after he said those words that he realised how easily he could use them to tease him. “What’s the movie you brought?” he asked quickly, unable to stand the boy’s gaze all of a sudden.

Jasper was almost a saviour to them both. He laughed as he apparently liked his soap. “Thanks, I guess? So, you guys like this room? Because I’m afraid the only other option is my computer and we’ll be a bit cramped trying to see on its screen,” he told them, waving at the room as if he needed to do that for them to look at it and at the television. But you didn't always do logical things when nerves were taking over.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The brothers were both fine with the living room being the location where they would watch the scary movie with Franck. The honestly didn’t care where they ended up watching the movie, they just wanted to watch it with Franck. If it was on in Franck’s room, the bathroom, or even on the roof they really didn’t care so long as they got to watch the movie. That was why they had made the trip here and the brothers had pretty clear motives. At least they knew what their motives were so saw them as simple in that way. Casper didn’t mean to come off weird or like he could not answer a question without his brother, he was just caught off guard. When you were used to being around someone so much and doing things together, suddenly not having that same similar voice responding for you or with you.

“We just didn’t get around to changing because we were more worried about actually getting here. Plus we brought shirts to change into.” Casper explained after a moment of silence, as if he was trying to process just what he wanted to say. It really was odd to not have his brother around to answer such questions or to at least chime in something. Casper still looked at Franck for a moment, blinking as if he was still thinking though all of this. “A Nightmare on Elm’s Street.” Casper answered the next question as he held up the DVD and gave it a little e wave before handing it over to Franck to take and handle getting the movie all set up. Jasper came back then; talking about the soap and shoving his hands in his brother face and cause him to let out a small grumble.

“Out here is fine. Let’s get the movie going and scream like little girls but don’t tell anyone about it because we are super macho or something like that.” Jasper said with a small snicker as he moved to plop down on the couch, already working on unbuttoning his shirt. He and his brother did plan on changing at least their shirts after all and didn’t feel that Franck would not be bothered by them stripping there and chancing their shirts. It was just their shirts after all and it was not like Franck had not seen it all before. “You can handle scary movies, right?” Casper asked as he too moved over to sit down on the couch and worked on undoing his shirt as well.

[François Laffont]

The twins were lucky they pulled this trick on Franck. Anyone else might not have been this easygoing about this but the French boy never minded following others when they wanted him around. They came to his place and wanted to watch a movie? Sure, why not. At least they wanted to spend time with him and not have him do things for them. And if he already let some of his friends come over here and more or less dictate what he should do of the day, he wouldn’t turn them down. Not when he had nothing hugely important to do.

Franck was almost tempted to tease Casper and ask if they really were that eager to see him they didn’t think about changing first. That phrase really was hanging at the tip of his tongue. Had Jasper been in the room to make the twins into mischievous little devils, he probably would have said that. But he came after, when he was holding the DVD in his hands. And, at that time, he wasn’t thinking about them still being in uniforms, he was trying not to gulp at the sight of the cover. So they came bringing a horror movie. Franck wasn’t doing too well with horror movies. At least that didn’t seem to be about the devil and exorcisms. He’d have even more nightmares if it were the case. But he still couldn’t see himself being all fine with this.

“Wait, what?” he let out, caught by surprise with what Jasper said. He was too busy trying to convince himself that if the twins loved horror movies, maybe sticking around them would make it easier on him. And he could still shut his eyes and pray for them not to tell him to open them during the worst moments. But if Jasper was serious about them screaming like little girls... He looked at Casper when he felt like actually asking the one question they should have asked first: if he could handle horror movies.

Franck didn't feel like saying no. It was one thing to know you were jumpy and a bit of a coward for these kinds of things, it was a whole other to admit it. It had one good point however, it had Franck forget to tell them they could use the bathroom or his room to change. Even though it was just their chest, and they obviously had seen a lot more of each other, staring at them was distracting. A distraction he took before he said anything to them. But he then realised what he had been doing and shook his head away from that sight. “Well... if you want girl screams, you’ll be served,” he said with a light chuckle. He wasn’t joking but he wouldn’t mind if the twins took it that way. He set the television so they could watch the movie. In a way, he wished for a way to avoid it but it couldn’t be helped. “I’ll make some popcorn, alright?” he said after placing the movie in the DVD player. There would be commercials before the menu would appear anyway, he wouldn’t miss anything. And, just in case, he tossed the remote to the twins. Could he say he might need subtitles or something like that because it was in English? It wouldn’t save him and he knew he could understand anyway. Franck tried for his walk to the kitchen not to look like a retreat.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

If Franck had asked what he has wanted, he probably would have gotten Casper blushing for a small moment before he would likely hit him. One could probably assume that if they boys were so focused on making the trip to Franck’s house that they didn’t even bother to chance out of their school uniform; that they really wanted to come see Franck. That was why they were here after all, to come see and hang out with Franck. Was it a bad thing that they wanted to mess around with their French toy? The brothers didn’t think so but if someone pointed it out and made it seem like they were implying something then it was likely said person was going to get a nice bruise on their arm. Both the brothers chuckled at Franck’s words after Jasper pointed out about them all screaming like little girls. The brother had not actually seen the movie yet and heard that it was scary so they at least expected themselves to scream at least once or twice.

They didn’t really scream but they knew that guys often had a habit of screaming like girls when they were screamed. Really the high pitch screaming must have just the universal cry human being let out when they were scared and thus it alerted the other. Or something ancient times crap like that, which the brothers didn’t want to think on now because it was movie time with Franck. Casper just smirked when Franck looked at him when he asked the question, which indeed would have been best to ask first, but where was the fun in that? That look was enough to pretty much tell Casper everything he needed to know and of course Casper was motioning to his brother so Jasper would get the answer as well. “Awesome. Wonder if you will scream loud enough to end up breaking some glass.” Jasper said with a laugh, with both the siblings catching that Franck had been staring at them while they changed.

“We could keep our shirts off if that will help you not scream too much.” Casper suggested as the boys remained shirtless for a while as they laid their top half of their uniform over a couch they figured they would not end up using while they watched the movie. They didn’t want them to get wrinkly after all since the brothers did enjoy looking their best. “Alright.” The brothers said in unison when Franck said that he was going to get some popcorn. “Don’t take too long or we will have to come get you.” Jasper called out to Franck as the brothers smirked and watched Franck head for the kitchen. They took a moment to fiddle with the TV to figure out its settings. Setting up subtitles because the music was always so loud in movies but the words seemed to be always whispered so it was best to have the subtitles there in case you missed something. “We will have him sit right in the middle of us. Want to bet how long it takes for him to grab one of our hands?” Casper asked his brother, the two of them chatting a bit while Franck was away and the commercials were playing.

[François Laffont]

Franck had no problem with the twins wanting to see him, of course. He would get out and meet friends for the sheer pleasure of their company also. Sometimes, he could spend some time with his friends, sometimes plans have to be cancelled. It was no big deal. But he still felt like teasing the twins, only because he knew they wouldn’t mind teasing him.

It was another reason why he was a little reluctant at the thought of watching this Nightmare on Elm Street movie. Sure, he wouldn’t want them to tell the whole school he was a scaredy cat but it was more what they could do during the movie that he was worried about. He could already see himself, trying to hide his face behind a cushion while the two of them savoured their popcorn, not wanting to miss a single second of it. If they were to scream too, maybe it wouldn’t be as embarrassing. He had no intention of admitting he was likely to make nightmares after that. In a way, it was a good thing he didn’t know what this movie was about, otherwise he would refuse to sleep, period.

“I hope not or you’re paying for the broken windows,” he replied on a teasing tone as Jasper teasing him about breaking glass with how high his voice might reach. Franck tried not to blush or show that Casper actually caught him off guard with the suggestion of watching it shirtless. But he needed even more to retreat to the kitchen. There, he found some popcorn he tossed in the microwave. He wouldn’t be able to eat but he said he’d make some and the twins might like it. As long as he was not holding the bowl. It was safer, at least for the room that risked to be covered in popcorn otherwise as no doubt Franck would jump a few times.

He had to relax. Like, for real. He promised himself not to let them put him in that situation again yet they succeeded after three minutes. They just enjoyed teasing him, because it was easy and he was not telling them to stop. He didn't really want to tell them to stop. Then, they might just feel like he wasn’t that interesting and find another plaything. He wanted to keep them around and so Franck had to learn to not be so affected by everything they had to say and reply. That’s it, just reply. And try not to die of a heart attack during the movie.

He didn't realise that the popcorn was ready but the sound of the microwave reminding him of it brought him back to reality. He grabbed a bowl and emptied the content of the bag in it. “Sorry, I wasn’t too long, was I?” he let out as he came back to the living room.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Why not get your parents to pay for broken windows? We are not really the kind of people who come from money." Jasper pointed out as he could not help but laugh at the idea of them trying to pay for broken windows. Most of the things they got were either gifts or back when they were actually making money. Now that they were at the school they were no longer working at the circus and it did not make any sense for the circus to pay them while they were not actually doing any work. So the brother’s income was pretty low and they were mostly living off of what the school would give them and what they had before coming here. The siblings gave one another a high five when Franck went off to the kitchen, feeling like they had won something of a victory over the other boy since he didn't say anything about the whole watching it shirtless thing.

"I say we just don't wear shirts. Just because he didn't say anything about it." Jasper suggested and Casper could not help but to agree with his other sibling on some level. If Franck would have said something about it then perhaps when he returned he would find them with their shirts on, but instead they left the ones they had brought on the floor and their uniform tops folded nicely on the couch. The siblings really did enjoy teasing Franck. He was their toy and he was a toy that so easily was affected by what they did and said and it was just perfect. Franck was at least right on some level that if the twins did get bored with him then they would leave him alone for that day. Yet, just because Franck told them to stop something would not mean they would be completely bored.

There were many factors involved in what would bore the siblings and what would cause them to just up and leave. Just being hungry was enough to get the siblings out the door so it was good that Franck was making popcorn. "Not at all." The siblings said together from where they sat on the couch with their shirts still off but at least they had their pants on. There had been a slight idea to take them off but the brothers went against it and just went with no shirts. Scary movies tended to get their blood pumping and when that happened they got hot. So not wearing a shirt would just be all the easier for them on some level. "Ready to have the pee scared out of you?" Jasper asked as he patted the couch cushion between him and his brother for Franck to come grab a seat at.

"Yuck, brother you have a pee problem. I'm taking you in to get checked later." Casper pointed out which caused Jasper to just smirk and grab the remote so they could get the movie playing.

[François Laffont]

“Your screw up, your bill,” he replied to Jasper before he left them to get some popcorn. Of course, there was obvious jest in his voice, proving he was not really serious. He doubted it was possible to break glass with your voice anyway, unless you were some mutant with a voice-related power. Something he knew none of them possessed. So he figured the windows were safe, hence the little joke.

Franck didn't expect them to be shirtless. Sure, when he left them, they were working on taking off their uniforms and Franck checked them like a straight guy couldn’t stop staring at a pair of bouncing breasts but he knew they had sweaters they wanted to put on. Except that when he came back, they had no sweater on. He froze when he reached them, seeing now what little trick they played him. He reminded himself he meant not to be as easily affected as he had been last time and so tried to ignore it. “I’m kind of tempted to put a shirt icon at the door, like they do in malls to remind you that you must wear clothes but you guys are able to wear only the shirts and nothing else,” he said instead of asking why they didn’t put their sweater on, the thing he really wanted to ask them. He had to bounce back on everything they threw at him. He was very good friend with Frank Cox for Christ’s sake, he should know how to do that! Except that he wasn’t so good at it.

He gave the popcorn to Casper and sat between them. Since they left a spot right in the middle, he understood it was where they intended him to be and he didn’t really feel like pushing any of them to sit on one side instead. He already annoyed Jasper a bit earlier, he didn’t want to be even grumpier, but he sure didn’t want to anger Casper either. He frowned at Jasper thought after what he said. “Yes, might be a good idea,” he replied to Casper. He settled comfortably between them and let them start the movie. Nerves started to grip his guts though, as he recalled what he was supposed to watch. “You guys saw it before? You know how scary it is?” he asked. He didn’t want to sound like a scaredy cat but he kind of was.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Jasper just snickered at Franck’s words about if he screwed up then it was on his bill. Jasper’s mind pretty much blocked out the rest and was busy snickering because Franck said screw. He was going to call something out to Franck as the boy went off to make the popcorn, but his brother stopped him. Casper gave his brother a look that basically said ‘don’t go too far’. They were guest at Franck’s house after all so they did have to be behaved to a certain extent. So if Franck told them to do something or not to do something, then they would try to do it. At least Casper would make sure that they would try and be proper guest.

Yet being proper guest didn’t mean they had to wear shirts unless Franck said so, so they felt it was perfectly fine to be shirtless when Franck came back. Plus it made them feel good to have Franck looking at them the way he was. Who didn’t want to be checked out or viewed with possibly lust? The both just smirked at Franck as he looked at them, pleased with themselves. “Well, if you want us to put shirts on, we can.” Casper pointed out as he did a small stretch, purposely showing off his upper body in all of its muscular and built detail. He even made sure to show the tattoos on his body which were all in the same locations as they were on Jasper. “We could even wear just the shirts we brought. Just shirts.” Jasper added after his brothers words as he gave Franck a smirk, with a certain look in his eyes.

Casper took the popcorn and already started to take a few handfuls of it and tossed it into his mouth, watching Franck as he sat down between them. Jasper rolled his eyes and Franck and Casper pointing out that he had a pee problem. He didn’t think he had a pee problem; just he was fine talking about going to the bathroom and what have you. “Nope.” The brothers said together in response to Franck’s question. They had never seen the movie but they heard about it and knew that they wanted to watch it with Franck and that was what they were going to do. “You should be fine.” Jasper said as he reached to grab some popcorn. “You can hold my hand if you get too scared.” Casper added after his brother’s words and even offered his hand out for Franck to take.
