April 2, 2008 -- Chicago

[2020sight]

Epimetheus never came back to Prometheus' apartment last night. That's not that odd.

But him sauntering through the door this morning, whistling, in an almost cliche display of insufferable smugness? That kind of is.

Epimetheus yelps and ducks, trying to shield his head.

"I can't leave you alone for five -- goddamned -- minutes!"

Thwack!

"Holy crap! Ow!"

He dodges around his brother into the living room.

"Whatsa matter, bro? Jealous?"

--Notice that he's very hastily arming himself with a couch pillow now.

"Jealous my ass. Not that it being Coyote helps, 'cause who knows how it's going to be now that you've been in each other's pants, but how the hell does this shit happen to you?"

He stops, and lets his arms drop to his side.

"I need a cigarette," he announces. He really, really does.

Epimetheus peeks over the edge of the cushion and rolls his eyes.

"Aw, you're just paranoid."

[notboundnow.livejournal.com]

"I'm not paranoid, I'm right."

Prometheus rifles through the stuff piling up on all his available surfaces. "Dammit," he mutters. He's coming up empty. Which really just makes him need the smokes more.

". . . This is seriously freaking you out."

[notboundnow.livejournal.com]

"If I'm freaking out, it's only for your own good!"

Or amusement.

You know, whichever.

Epimetheus snorts.

"I can take care of myself, man. It's not like it's the first time I've been married."

[notboundnow.livejournal.com]

"It's the first time you've been married to Coyote. And what the hell were you doing allowing someone to pour perfectly good liquor over you? And holding hands at that?"

It's not entirely clear which of those offends Prometheus the most.

"Clearly you've never met Lilly Kane. She's, ah. Forceful."

Beat. He lowers the couch cushion a little.

"I offered to shake hands with her and the next thing I knew I had Coyote's hand, we were dripping whiskey, and Lilly Kane was reciting some language even I don't know."

One eyebrow arches up.

"You're a Titan. Not to pull rank or anything, but come on. You're a Titan."

The corner of his mouth twitches. It's not anything like a smile, though, no sir.

Dry: "Which always keeps us from doing stupid shit."

[notboundnow.livejournal.com]

"It's always kept up from dripping whiskey."

His expression becomes pained.

"Man, was it our whiskey?"

[2020sight]

Look how interesting the floor is!

Prometheus heaves a sigh of antique and epic proportions.

"I'm gonna finish with this shave, and then I am going to pick up some cigarettes. You're coming with me, by the way -- I don't trust you not to find that you've spilled something and gotten married to some appliance or something by the time I get back."

"Please," Epimetheus retorts, flopping onto the couch as Prometheus heads back towards the bathroom. "I have standards."

[notboundnow.livejournal.com]

"'Debatable' doesn't even begin to cover that!"

Epimetheus flips him off, fondly.
