Blood Ties (DrTrollinski & Soul OMU)

[DrTrollinski]

Brandon picked her back up with a long groan as he sat her up on his arms, carrying her to her room and setting her down in her bed. He smiled a little as he flicked the nightlight on and then went and turned the main light off; he went back to Olivia's side and ducked down beside her bed, gently kissing her forehead. ".. So, honey... You want a bedtime story tonight?" He asked her, brushing some hair from her face.


--


"Can I play?" George asked once his mom and dad had disappeared. The other guys all laughed along with Cole, and Cole simply nodded.


"Sure, but we ain't getting you drunk." He laughed. "Rules are, if the ball stops spinning on a number, and your glass has that number on it, you have to drink. If not, you've gotten lucky." He chuckled as he handed the little metal ball to Jack. "You can be our dealer." He said. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Olivia nods while smiling tiredly. "Mhm..." she said while snuggling deeper into her covers, looking at him with big tired brown eyes.


--


Lexie rolls her eyes and shakes head for a moment, sighing. "Idiots..." she muttered while running a hand through her hair and sitting back while watching. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

He smiled at her and then went and picked up a book from her bookshelf, and then he walked back over to sit beside the bed and opened it up. He'd chosen one of her favorite ones - The Beauty and The Beast. He opened it up and then looked at her. ".. You all comfy, honey? Don't need anything before you go to sleep?" He asked softly.


--


".. So... How much can I drink?" George asked, Cole sighed and looked at him, ruffling his hair.


"The most you're getting is a sip. You're not doing a whole shot - You're not nowhere near old enough." Cole said, George shrugged a little. ".. Plus, you ain't gonna' get much luck, I don't think - there's a one-in-thirty-two chance that it'll land on yours." He laughed and patted his back as Jack spun the wheel and the little metal ball. It was close to Cole's, but then it landed on the unexpected.


"LEEEEEXIE!" Jack yelled in amusement as he nearly fell over backwards in laughter. He was more drunk than anyone.


"Go on, Lex. Down the hatch." Cole laughed as he gently nudged her shoulder and hugged her with one arm. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Olivia smiles and nods. "Mhm... All comfy..." she said softly once cuddled up in her blankets and some of her toys, looks up at him expectantly as she waits for him to start reading.


--


Lexie rolls her eyes as she gets up and goes over before picking up her shot and downing it. "Your all super drunk btw..." she said as she sat back down. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Good girl." He smiled at her and then started reading to her - he read the words on the pages softly, and the best thing that all the kids loved about him was that he did a different voice for every character except the heroes (if any) - when it came to heroes, he used his own voice, because he wanted to be the hero to the children, which was just as sweet as it was sad.


--


"Ah, don't be ridiculous." Jack laughed as he spun it again. This time it landed on the one right beside George's - Cole's. Cole took a deep breath and quickly drank it down, squinting.


"Christ, that's strong." He choked. The others - including George - simply laughed when they saw him gasping for air as the liquid hit his throat. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Olivia giggles softly while listening to him read and change his voice according to the characters. She always loved story time with her dad, because he was the best at telling them.


--


Lexie sits back and snorts a bit. "Nah... Can't be." she said while grinning a bit as she watches him. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

He kept reading until she fell asleep, and once she did, he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead again. "Goodnight, princess." He whispered, and then he got up and walked to his room to find Miranda.


"Hey, gorgeous. Olivia's asleep now." He smiled and walked over to sit on the bed.


--


It was rolled again, and again, and again, with Cole and Lexie doing another two each. Now it landed on George's one. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Miranda currently on her side of the bed, busy reading the Games of Thrones, has her glasses on, looks up at him. "That's good." she said while smiling a bit.


--


Lexie watching, still eating some junk food. "alright... Georgey's turn.." she said slowly. (@DrTrollisnki)

 

[DrTrollinski]

He climbed onto the bed and hugged her. "We do each other favors, I've noticed." He chuckled a little and kissed her cheek.


--


George swept it up and downed it all in one. He didn't know what he was in for. He instantly started coughing and choking, his eyes watering. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Miranda smiles a bit and kisses his back. "Of course we do." she said as she leaned back into his hold.


--


Lexie lightly puts a hand on his back. "George... oh jeez... That's how pros take it... this is your first time and that's the worst way to do it.." (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"I tuck the kids into bed so you can read, and you make me my favourite food on a lot of days." He smiled. "Just the little things." He added with a grin.


--


"God..." He choked, Cole patted his back. "I'm okay." He said as he wiped eyes and laughed a little. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Miranda rolls eyes and puts her book down, a small smile on her face. "That's because most of your favorite food is the kids favorite too." she said while looking at him.


--


Lexie rolls eyes. "Right... Anyways who's next Jack.... Jack?" she asked and noticed he was passed out. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Too right. You can't forget how I get myself soaking wet bathing Olivia, and George when he was younger." He chuckled. "George was a pain when bathing him, if you remember, splashing around, getting out halfway through the bath to use the toilet.." He laughed a little and held her close.


--


"Oh, dear... Looks like in dealing." Mitchell laughed and spun the wheel. It landed on George's one again and he quickly downed it before anyone could stop him.


"George!" Cole yelled. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Miranda smiles and laughs softly. "Of course I do... How could I forget the yelling, giggling and sighing." she said while leaning against him, humming softly.


--


Lexie sighs softly and rubs her temples. "Told you letting him join was a bad idea.." she said while grumbling. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

(I'm at a party atm. I'll reply when i can.)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"I miss when George was younger." He said simply, smiling. He hugged her and kissed her cheek again.


--


"I'm fine." George said.


"No more, George." Cole said, George simply nodded in agreement. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Miranda smiles and snuggles up against him. "Of course you do." she said while laughing softly.

Lexie eating popcorn while watching. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

The guys played the game until at least three of them had crashed on the lawn. Cole slowly rose up and took a deep breath, everyone except George were absolutely hammered. "Shall we go inside and play the PS4?" He asked. "It's getting late and we could settle with that." He said. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Lexie shrugs as she gets up slowly and heads in, stumbling a little bit but manages to keep her footing. "Okay.." she said while grinning. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

Cole lead them all up to his room and turned the PS4 on an started playing 'infamous second son'. They were all sat on his bed, and George was looking incredibly tired. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Lexie looks at George. "Looks like someone is ready for bed..." she said as she pet George's hair. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Nuh-uh... I'm fine..." George yawned as he leaned against her and smiled tiredly, he watched one of the other guys take the controller and started playing the game themselves. George felt the alcohol hitting him pretty hard right now. "Can I have a glass of water...?" He asked in a whisper.


--


"Well, I'm gonna crash." Brandon said as he flicked off the lamp on his side of the bed and then leaned over, kissing Miranda on the lips. "Goodnight, sweetheart." He said as he lied down and faced the darker area of the room. He didn't ask her to turn off her lamp as well, just so she could continue reading. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Lexie looks at him. "Uh huh.. Right..." she said while stroking his hair. "Sure..." she said as she gets up slowly and makes her way into the kitchen and grabbing out a glass.


--


Miranda kisses him back, lightly cups his face for a moment before pulling back. "Good night love..." she said as she picked up her book to finish her last chapter. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"So, you're going to grow up to be a pro drinker, eh, George?" Mitchell chuckled, George quickly shook his head and frowned.


"Nuh-uh... That stuff's gross." He said. ".. I ain't ever gonna' drink, it... It makes me feel funny. I feel kinda' weird and a bit sick now." He said, Mitchell laughed and pulled him into a friendly hug with one arm, ruffling his hair.


"You're probably a bit wasted, that's all." He chuckled. "You'll be fine, as soon as Lex gets back with that glass of water, you should go to bed... I doubt you'll throw up tomorrow morning, either... you didn't really drink much."


".. But I'm only eight..."


Mitchell paused. Realization dawned on him. ".. Right... You'll be fine." He gulped and patted his head.


--


Brandon was quick to fall asleep, listening to the turning of pages or the rhythmic breathing that Miranda gave off was enough to sooth him. He felt so content with how things went today, and he was sure they'd be better off with telling Cole about the letter tomorrow morning when he was a little more sober. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Lexie walks back into Cole's room. "I told you idiots not to let him chug them down..." she grumbled while handing George the glass of water.

Miranda finishes the chapter before putting her bookmark in and puts her book down on the side table; turning off her light and curling up into Brandon's back and falling asleep. (@DrTrollinski)
