eight am on a saturday morning and ezra's staring down a milk-less bowl of fruit loops. disbelievingly, he tilts the carton upside down, taps it against the bowl's ceramic edge to shake out a few dying splutters of milk. goddammit, beau. the empty container's thrown into the trash can as he passes it and storms down the hallway, footfalls intentionally noisy. barreling into beau's darkened bedroom (no need to knock), ezra clambers onto the bed and pulls the covers down the slumbering mass. he grabs an unused pillow and aims for the exposed parts. "sis. sis! get up, you lazy shit." whack. "we're out of milk." whack. "i can't fucking believe you put it back in the fridge anyways." |

screaming fans, adoring fans, feet on a stage and a mic in her hands, she is on top of the world. but pounding, on her head, body, her eyes snap open and a hand raises to grab the apparent weapon of choice from her brother. she yawns, "so what?" |

"so what?" he repeats, scowls at her indifference. yanking the pillow right back, he lays it over his tucked knees, digs bony elbows into the plush material. ezra cups his chin and looks at her petulantly as if to say, it's obviously a crime. "so you're going to the store and getting more. it's only fair." |

she rolls her eyes before shutting them and pulling the covers over her head. "go steal some yourself, goddamn criminal," she says. there is no malice behind her words though, criminal is affectionate, in a sense. something she can make fun of because of all the bail she's posted and all the times she's never questioned his disappearance. he's old enough to get his own milk anyway. it's not like they ID for it anyway. |

this is why he hates his family, namely beau—the milk-drinking, breakfast-ruining traitor. actually, that's a lie, and because they both know it, he doesn't feel bad voicing it. all the real shit, the grunge and the metaphorical dirty dishes of ages past, he internalizes. "i hate you," ezra mutters. "ebeaula."he watches her pull the covers up for a glum moment, runs his tongue over the cutting edge of his upper incisors and remembers he hasn't brushed his teeth yet. no shit—he always eats first. hungry rage flares up anew. "don't try and change the subject. get. up." he has the sheets bunched in fists, threatening to rip them off again. |

she wonders why she lets ezra live with her. and then she remembers, where else would he go? beau would rather have him close and often disappearing than far and always gone. he pulls off her covers again and she curls into a ball. it's a canadian winter in flandres, but it doesn't stop her from wearing shorts and a tank top to bed. "ezra, i'm one blanket away from making you into my personal heater if you don't shut up and go buy your own goddamn milk," she seethes. |

he makes a face at the threat and scoots away to sit cross-legged at the edge of the bed, in case beau does decide to subject him to skinship. he's over childish cuddling really, and if she ever brings up their younger days where they shared a bed because he had nightmares, he'll just pretend not to hear it. "put on some clothes then, princess." ezra retorts, folds his arms. "you go buy milk, because you're the one who finished the carton. it's an integrity thing. not like you'd know anything about that." "me, me, me, i'm too selfish to buy milk," he mimics in his highest-pitched voice. |

beau sighs, heavily. "fine," she says as she sits herself up. hands move to rub the sleep out of her eyes then arms extend to stretch. then she's up and walking, to her dresser which she opens. she pulls out a shirt and a pair of pants and her hands fly to the edge of the tank top she's wearing. she doesn't bother to ask ezra to leave before she starts to change. it's not like he's never seen a titty before. |

"love ya sis," he declares triumphantly, tone too saccharine to be entirely sincere, and punches the air once in victory. a smug grin stretches his face to look almost childishly silly. it's a change from the glum surliness ezra usually wears—however fleeting. disgust soon overrides satisfaction and contorts his features into a more familiar fit. "you're such a nudist." the top comes off, ezra bounds off the bed and slams the door before he can get any further grossed-out. he's lying on the couch when beau comes out fully-dressed. lazily, ezra reaches his arm out to paw at the remote control, mere centimeters out of reach on the coffee table. "can you buy more cereal too? the sugary kind." |

beau smiles to herself as ezra heads out of the room. it's a silent victory to her, an older sister victory most wouldn't understand. either way, it doesn't take long for her to get dressed. sweatpants, hair tied, no make-up on, that's how she is when she comes out. winter means comfort to her, so she's as comfortable as possible. ezra mentions buying more cereal and she rolls her eyes. "you can buy your own damn cereal, you're coming with me," she says as she goes to grab the front of his shirt and pull him off the couch. "i'm not your damn slave." |
