Eter (14), Cavalli (11), Walter (10), Watson (10)


Team of Two

(Eter POV)

I sighed loudly and stretching my body on the old couch. It’s another day at the small team of children in Poiflo.

the team was mostly laying around than doing some work. Too young to do office job and old enough to take someone life. Fox glove team is where kid that isn’t too useful or deadly in the field being placed. I’m one of the deadly one and Cavalli fall on the weak one.

I sighed heavily while looking at the clock. Cavalli has a charm school and mom in a meeting. I as a team leader laying on a old couch that has seen better days—may be older than me. I rolled to my side, face facing the back seat

Mom pick me up from school and she has a urgent meeting. Drop me off at the team hide out and drive off to the main office. I finally stood up, the couch make a little squeezing sound as my body finally left the poor thing.

At the staff room, I walked to the stove and make some cup noodle—hope my little brother doesn’t mind me takin one of his cup noodle.

I filled the kettle with water and put back to let it boil. I search through the cabinet, take a cup noodle and a tea box. My finger flip the bag of each different tea flavor. “honey jasmine” I mumble as I pick a tea wrapper. The wrapper rip as I pull it apart, then putting the tea bag into a cup along side few spoon of sugar and honey.

My nose picked up the scent of boiling water. I lifter the kettle and pour the hot water to the cup and the cup noodle. I picked bot of them and walked to the table. He sat at the chair and waited for the noodle to set. He sighed lowly, leaned back, and looked up to the ceiling. The quietness is his friend right now. He close his eyes. His homework are done, finished the novel few minute ago, and there nothing do to.

He open his eyes and straighten his body. He pilled the cop cover, his hand hold the foldable plastic fork, and began eating it.

“My noodle!”

Eter turn his head to see Cavalli stood at the entrance with disbelieve and annoyance and mom stood behind him. He pointed at me, “Eter, that my noodle!”

“I’ll replace it” I said casually, then I slurped the noodle.

I could hear Cavalli fumed in annoyance. “Hmp!” and stopped his feet.

My mom took the scene lightly and laughed lightly. “At least your brother going to replace it,” she pat Cavalli head, “We’ll going home after you finish them.”

Eter nodded and continue eating the noodles.

We drive back home, Mom drive the car and we’re both in the back seat, Cavalli still annoyed by the cup noodle. I look at him with irritation, “You still angry about it?”
