[plushaeusrumpified]

WHO: Bro and Dave Strider
TONE: Serious and Ironic
RATING: ...R? Strider language.
WHEN: Easter hols
WHERE: John's House
WHAT: Bro gets tired of Dave's shit.
STATUS: Ongoing

It wasn't often that Bro snapped, but he finally did. Ever since parent's day, ever since that stupid discussion where Dave found out the truth, it had been one passive aggressive and downright hurtful comment after the other. Not that Bro would have admitted to being hurt, because fuck that shit. But Dave was not as subtle as he probably thought he was, and each one was a punch in the gut. Or maybe that was the intention.

Either way, Bro was tired of it. He'd shown up at the Egbert house because... damn it, there was nothing to do without Dave. He was bored! So he hoped that going to the Egbert house would be a fun time. But nah, it'd been pretty fucking miserable. He should've known, but he'd pretty much stupidly hoped that Dave would have gotten over it by then. Nope.

So it was after Dave's last comment that Bro stood up, and he was pretty much radiating anger. He went over to Dave and gripped him by the arm and headed towards the first room that he found, which ended up being the office of one Dad Egbert. "You and me need to have a fucking chat," he stated. He pushed Dave into the room and pulled out his wand, pointing it at the door. It shut and locked by itself, and then he murmured a soundproofing charm.

"Alright, say whatever it is you've gotta fucking say because I'm getting sick of this shit," he said, his voice low and angry. "Or are you too much of a fucking pussy that you can't just come out and say it, you've got to make passive aggressive remarks that are about as subtle as that pimple of John's forehead. Man up, Dave, stop being a fucking coward- except that's me, isn't it? My fucking bad."

For the holidays at the Egberts' house, Dave had pretty much just met Bro's presence with a stony silence. He shouldn't have been surprised. Bro gave him permission to go, and then showed up to fuck with him. News at 11. When was Bro's life not just entirely made of fucking with Dave? So yeah, Dave's modus operandi had been to not let Bro have the satisfaction of getting one over on him. He was going to ignore him entirely and enjoy the break with his friends, damn it.

So he was needless to say a little surprised when Bro just suddenly stood up, looking like he was about to shit fire, and grabbed Dave by the arm. It hurt. It actually hurt, and Dave was stunned into compliance, allowing himself to be pushed around. When he was shoved into John's dad's office, Dave looked around and subtly put a chair between him and Bro, reaching for his wand because Bro still had his out and Dave didn't know what he was going to do. He'd never seen Bro mad like this before.

But then Bro's words made him see red. "Like you've ever been legit with me!" he shot back. "You've lied to me my entire life, and now you're pissed because I'm not gonna just fucking take it anymore? Admit it, if you hadn't thought that I wanted to bone Rose, you wouldn't have ever told us the truth! I don't even know what to call you anymore!"
