The mods and I have seen this coming for a long time. But due to lack of time, lack of inspiration, lack of new asks, and just all around over ambition- we’re shutting down the milk boys blog. The brothers will still live on in our hearts and a few of us will probably still draw them on our own blogs time and time again. But for now, as all good things do, we must come to an end.
Thank you for all the love and support you have given us. And thank you for loving our boys.
Does Spoiled have any songs he’d recommend? I want to switch up my music but I’ve been listening to the new Panic! At The Disco album so much I don’t know where to start.
“Obviously you need more My Chemical Romance and Green Day. Some Gorillaz wouldn’t hurt either. I have a playlist that I made that I use, so I guess you could try that. But seeing as you came to me instead of the others for this, you obviously have at least decent taste.”
Almond:First one awake at the crack of dawn, has a daily routine that needs to be kept, physically healthy- mentally not so much, 70′s vibes, group mom, tie dye and flower power themes, scariest when angry.
Banana: Kid at heart, prankster, jean jackets covered in patches and things covered in stickers, “only 90′s kids would understand”, cartoons on saturday mornings, loves sweets, finds a loophole to everything, plays too many video games, burst of energy.
Chocolate: Constantly annoyed, doesn’t care enough about clothes so wears the same kind of shirt constantly, lost in their thoughts, unconventional sense of humor, overly critical and overthinks, loves being out in nature, late nights on the countryside, campfires and s’mores.
Coconut:Chill on the outside but wreck on the inside, tropical vibes, vaporwave and vapes, cheeseburgers in paradise, loves the beach but fears the water, hopeless romantic can’t flirt for shit, hibiscus flowers, sunglasses collection, tries to lead but can’t even remember to make cereal
Coffee:Shy, hipster, photography from high up, sneaks away to be by themselves, small libraries and quiet cafes, knows what they want to say but can’t speak it properly, doodles on their arms, cries easily, “it’s art”
Soy:basic white bitch, starbucks and leggings, always on their phone, loves a good trip to the mall, loves attention and flirting, Insecure but knows how to fake it. Too much time on social media. Secretly a sucker for weird cult classics and horror films.
Spoiled: hot topic trash TM, odd fascination with the supernatural, ripped black skinny jeans, doesn’t like being told what to do, has been through hell and back, mcr fan, secret soft side, probably really into anime. Late nights and tired eyes. Wants to start a riot just to see what happens.
Strawberry: pastel everything, flower crowns and hair clips, stuffed animals, soft blankets, french pastries, disney movies, tea parties, talks to animals more than people at parties, cuddles and naps. Smiling at sunrise and wants everyone to get along.
So a bit of backstory before the story starts. This entire thing is a role playing session that ALL of the mods had back in January. I reformatted the whole thing so it reads like a script so hopefully you guys get to learn where these boys are coming from. Any new questions come up as you read? Send us some asks and we’ll do our best to answer as always! Enjoy!
They are at the supermarket because they ran out of food
Spoiled: "God,why the fuck did I have to come with you guys?"
Coffee: "Can we make this quick? It's pretty cold in here"
Coconut:"I don't trust either of you home alone. This is gonna be quick, alright? Only grab necessary things."
Soy: "If you grab anything that's not diet or low carb, it's not necessary."
Banana: Okay, only grab important things, got it.
(Grabs a bag of lollies)
Coconut:"Jesus christ.. No, no candy, we already have a lot at home."
Strawberry: "Please Coco? Pleaaaaaaase?"
Banana: “Yeah Coco, come on! Please?”
Coconut:(sighs) "Fine. One thing. One. But you gotta grab something healthy to make up for it."
Strawberry: "Yay! Thank you thank you thank you!" (runs off)
Banana: “Nice! Thanks Nutty!” (Runs off)
Coconut:".. Nutty? Wh- Okay."
(Coconut turns around to ask Spoiled if he has the shopping list, but is met with empty space where his brother used to be.) ".. Oh fuck. We've only been here for 5 minutes!"
Chocolate: “Wow! You are sooo good at looking after your "children" Nutty. You should go off and get a job involving children and abandon us like Smii7y did!”
Soy: "What? We lose one already? Oh well, let's go home." (Looks back at phone)
(Coconut goes quiet for a moment.) "Okay, that.. That was just fucking uncalled for. Why don't you go do something useful and grab some drinks?"
Chocolate: “Sure, whatever.” (Walks off)
Almond: (Rubs Coconuts shoulder) “I'll go get the groceries. You take care of the others.”
Coconut:".. Alright. Alright. Thanks." (Sigh.. for the 3rd time. He immediately gets started on looking for Spoiled, who was the only one to disappear in silence. What a lil shit.)
Coffee: “Welp, this shopping trip was a failure.”
Coconut:"We only just started, don't be so negative." (He's already lost hope.)
Soy: “I guess I'll help mom.” (Doesn't actually feel like looking or helping and is just watching their phone)
Coffee: “Spoiled is probably in the toy isle, making fun of kids.”
".. Mom? Okay. Fine, then, go see if you can find where those two fruity toddlers went."
(He turns the cart around in the direction of the toy isle since that is a very valid idea.)
Soy: "Ugh, fine."
Coconut:"Don't get sassy, I'm asking you to do one thing."
Soy: "Yeah? And?"
Coffee: “Yeah, you don't need to act like a teenager every second, that's what Spoiled is for.”
Coconut:"Alright, quit being so mean to each other! We're here to buy groceries and get home and that's it. Don't make this difficult just because you can't check your shitty attitudes for at least a few minutes."
Soy: "I just want to finish making my late early 2000's-Today's hottest hits playlist and check my twitter. And facebook. And snapchat. And tumblr. And pinterest. And YouTube (whispers ‘god Dan and Phil are so hot’)"
Coconut:"Okay, but you can check when we get home. One hour won't kill you."
Soy: "A whole hour? But my phone is right here? Why can't I just check everything on my phone? Why can't I use my phone? I need my phone. "
Coffee: “No. You don't.”
Soy: "Yes I do. What if there's an emergency?"
Coffee: “Then Coconut can use his phone. You don't need your phone on you 24/7”
Soy:"Like, what if another Kardashian gets pregnant while my phone is off?"
Coffee: “... Are you serious?”
Soy: "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Chocolate: (Comes back with drinks) “Hey, how are you twinks doing?”
Soy: "Um, excuse me? I can work all roles."
Almond: "No you can't honey, it's okay. Nothing to be ashamed of.Twinks are great!"
Chocolate: “Yeah sure. Anyway, I found Spoiled. He's in the make up area, trying on eye-liner.”
Soy:” Did he try to stab you with it?”
Chocolate: “Surprisingly, no. He was putting it on his eyes, you know, how a woman uses it.”
Almond: “He's probably just looking for a new shade again. You know he's really found of that black or dark gray, but a nice forest green would really bring out his eyes.”
Soy: “Okay, so maybe mom is a twink. I’m not though.”
Banana: “Hey guys, does this count as one candy?” (Holds up a big tub of gummy bears)
Strawberry: Yeah! And this one's mine! (He found one of those foot long tubes of gumballs)
Almond: No, that is not one piece of candy. And where are your healthy snacks?
Banana: (Holds up a small banana)
Strawberry: (Holds up a baby carrot he found somewhere)
Soy: “Ew, you two are going to be so fat if you keep eating like that.”
Coffee: “Banana, Strawberry, go pick something else. Coconut wont be happy if he finds you lot with huge boxes of candy.”
Strawberry: “Awwwwwwwww!”
Chocolate: “Honestly I don't see what the problem is. If their teeth get rotten and die because of the lollies, that's their fault. Not ours.”
Strawberry: (teary eyed) “W-What?”
Banana: “Then you should join us then, so you can finally shut up! Come on Strawberry, let's pick something else.” (Hugs Strawberry)
Strawberry: * Sniff * “O-Okay...(are all of our teeth really going to rot and die?)”
Chocolate: “Fuck off Banana”
Soy: “Pfft. I'm so tweeting this. Dra-ma!”
Almond: “Soy no, and Chocolate you be nicer to your brothers please!”
Chocolate: “Don't tell me how to live my life.”
Coffee: “I'm going to find Spoiled. If I die, Soy, you get my computer.”
Soy: “Hell yeah I do.”
Almond: “One more word out of you mister and you're grounded.”
Chocolate: “Ah, yes. Because you can ground me since you're the second parent after Coconut. Jesus, you sound like Smii7y when he actually cared for us.”
Almond: “Chocolate you know Smii7y cares about us! He just has a hard time visiting because of his work!”
Coconut:"Chocolate, that's enough. Quit bringing everyone down. We came here to get groceries and now everything is all sad. Just go pick out some snacks and chill the hell out- all of you."
Almond: “Oh you're back! Did you get the other groceries?”
Coconut:"Yup. I was actually productive. Did you guys fight the entire time?"
Soy: Guess.
Coconut:"Figures.. Can't find any way to sort it out?"
Almond: “I'm trying the best I can dear.”
Coconut:"I know, I know, it's alright."
Chocolate: “Fine. I'll go and join Coffee and Spoiled. They are the only ones that know the truth about Smii7y it seems.”
Soy: “Bye-ee~”
Banana: “Guys! This is good enough? (Holds up a cup of gummy worms and a bigger banana)
Coconut:".. Yeah, that's fine. But you can't eat all of the gummy worms tonight, okay?"
Banana: “Okay Nutty!”
Coconut:"Why must you call me that."
Strawberry: (Still slightly sniffly) “Is...Is this okay?” (Holds up a rainbow lollipop and...a head of lettuce?)
Coconut:"I.. Uh, sure. That's fine."
Strawberry: (Sniffs and smiles)
Coconut: (Smiles back and pats Strawberry on the head affectionately.)
Coffee: (Comes back with a bunch of makeup on their face) “Hey guys, we got a problem. Chocolate and Spoiled got kicked out of the store.”
Almond: “Oh no…”
Coconut:"What!? Are you kidding me?"
Coffee: “I wish I was.”
Soy: “Omg this is literally amazing”
Coconut:"I can't take you guys anywhere, holy shit.. Alright, that's it, we're leaving. Everyone out to the car now, I'll pay for what we have and we're going."
Coffee: “I told Spoiled he had to join us and he began to put makeup on my face. A worker then came over and told him off. Then Chocolate and Spoiled make-up-ed the workers face.”
Almond: “I have the keys. I'll get everyone set in the car...you go pay for food and get the boys.”
Coconut:"Oh my god.. Alright. Wow. Thanks for being the only responsible one here, Almond.. "
Almond: “Sure thing sweetie. You go finish up with the groceries.”
Banana: “Yeah! Home time! I can finally eat my lollies!”
Soy: “Not all of them though”
Banana: “Don't tell me what to do”
Soy: Actually…(Soy starts while looking further out into the store) I think I'll stay with Coconut.And...help them”
Coconut:"Good choice. There's been enough fighting today.. "
Soy: “Yeah...sure…”
Coconut:(Takes the cart and begins the tedious process of putting back all of the unnecessary bullshit that they had filled it with. After some time, only the things on the shopping list are left.)
Coffee: “Okay cool” (Wipes makeup off face with shirt) “Come on guys. Let’s get to the car.”
Strawberry: “Okay Fee Fee!”
Coconut:(Eventually, everything seems calm enough. He's vaguely aware of the fact that they're probably fighting in the car but he can't really bother himself with it. Until the looming anxiety of leaving them alone sets in. Oh no.)
Soy: “Coconut mom is watching them they're fine. Let's just get to security and grab emo1 and emo2.”
Coconut:".. I dunno. I don't trust them alone."
Soy: “They're fine let's go. “(Starts pulling on his arm a little bit)
Worker: “Are these your boys?”
Coconut:".. Unfortunately."
Soy: “I'll be your boy if you want.” (Starts getting uncomfortably close to the cute store worker.)
Worker: ... (To Spoiled and Chocolate) “Okay, you are free to go.”
Coconut: (Nudges Soy to silently indicate that he needs to shut the fuck up and lets out a sigh.)
Soy: (To the worker) “Can I go with you?”
Worker: (Sweats)
Coconut:"Shut up. You two, c'mere." He grabs Spoiled and Chocolate by their sleeves and drags them away.)
Soy: (Leans in closer and runs their fingers up his arm) So what's your name handsome?”
Worker: “M-Mark”
Soy: “Oh! I love that name!”
Coconut:"Quit that!" (Grabs Soy and pulls him away.)
Soy: “H-Hey! Watch the fabric! I just bought this!”
Chocolate: “Wow I didn't know my first time in prison was going to be because of Spoiled.”
Coconut:"No, I am not dealing with your kinky shit right now. Is this the only reason you wanted to come with me?"
Worker: (Waves goodbye)
Soy: (Mouths) “Call me!”
Chocolate: “Shut up thot.”
Soy: “You're just jealous cause you're the only chocolate in the world people don't want to unwrap.”
Coconut:"Okay, not now! Everyone shut up."
Chocolate: “When we are home, you are getting an ass beating.”
Soy: “Promise?”
Coconut:"Chocolate, I swear to god! Shut up. Both of you."(He pays for everything which thankfully didn't take long and makes his way out to the car after everyone.)
Coffee: “So how was your trip?”
Soy:”I almost got a date out of it.”
Coconut:"You need to quit flirting with everyone."
Soy: “You can't keep me tied down forever! I have a beautiful and wild heart that cannot be tamed!”
Coffee: “Wow, that's surprising. Most people you flirt with hate you after would!”
Soy: “They only hate me cause they ain't me.”
Coconut:"You've been on like 4 dates in the past month!"
Coffee: “Eh, fair point.”
Soy: “Those are just the ones you know about.”
Coconut:"You aren't tied down at all- oh my god...I don't want to know."
Chocolate: “Whatever, can we go home?”
Coconut:"Yes. We're leaving. Everyone put on your seatbelts, keep your hands to yourself, and don't flip off the other cars-"
Spoiled: “EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!”
Coconut:"Spoiled! There is no damn reason to yell."
(He sighs and turns on the radio to shut everyone up as he pulls out of the parking lot.)
Banana: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
Spoiled: “YEAH? AND WHAT REASON DO I HAVE TO SHUT UP? THESE IDIOTS DON'T KNOW HOW! WHY SHOULD I, HUH?”
Coffee: “Spoiled, shut your lumpy ass up.”
Strawberry: “wwwwaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!”
Coffee: “LOOK NOW YOU MADE STRAWBERRY CRY!”
Spoiled: “Jitterbug you better shut your fuckin mouth right now before I clock it off your stupid little bitter face!”
Coconut:"EVERYONE! SHUT THE HELL UP! ALL OF YOU! YELLING ISN'T GETTING US ANYWHERE BUT HELL SO WHY DON'T YOU ALL JUST ACT LIKE THE NORMAL FUCKING ADULTS YOU ARE!? IT'S NO WONDER SMITTY LEFT!"
Everyone: …
(Coconut goes silent as he realizes what he said.)
Chocolate: “Oh... So you do know the truth! That's makes me feel much better then.”
Banana: (Hugs the heartbroken Strawberry)
Coconut:"Shut up. Shut up. I don't wanna hear it. All of you. Strawberry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."
Spoiled: (Crosses his arms and puts in his earbuds and BLASTS them out. Are his eyes...watery?)
Chocolate: “Of course he meant it! It makes sense!”
Coconut:"Chocolate, no more. Be quiet." (He turns the radio up and his grip on the steering wheel tightens.)
Chocolate: “What? So you can continue to forget everything that happened? I'm so tired of this! I'm so tired of you pretending that we don't need him! WE DO!”
Almond: (Turns around and gives them all the most terrifying death glare a mother gives and puts a single finger up to his lips) “Shh!”
Coconut:"I said be quiet!"
Chocolate: “No! I’m tired of this "family". Coffee is tired of looking after the house. Soy is tired of your restrictions. And Spoiled is tired of being without him!”
Coconut:(He holds his breath for a moment to keep from snapping at Chocolate again.) "I just wanted one nice, normal day. That's all I ask for. Quit talking about Smitty. I'm sorry I yelled. I love you all and I don't want any of you to get upset. Please, Chocolate, just quit it."
Chocolate: (Crosses his arms and looks out of the window)
Coconut:"Alright, you think I'm not tired!? You think I'm holding together like you are in your damn paradise where you've hardly got any limits because I try to give you enough freedom to be normal? You think I'm any less upset over him leaving us? Fucking- I'm sorry. Okay. I'm sorry. Please just- everyone, be quiet. Chocolate, I don't want to fucking hear it anymore. If we're gonna discuss this, we're gonna do it normally, like adults, without yelling and calling each other names and fighting."
Spoiled: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!! ...please... (Starts holding his head in his hands)
Chocolate: “…”
Spoiled: “Just...shut up…”
At a red light, Coconut turns around to look back at Spoiled. He holds back tears as he reaches to gently touch his hand for a moment before he pulls his attention back on the road. Spoiled just turns his body and tries to focus out the window. When they get home he and Strawberry are the last to leave. Strawberry pulls on the back of his shirt and offers him his rainbow lollipop. Spoiled smiles for a second and softens, but then tries to wipe it off and takes the candy and shoves it in his shirt pocket. Chocolate immediately heads to his room and locks the door. Coconut is quick to grab all the bags in silence as he gets out. The mood is heavy and he feels horrible that he can't find a way to fix it. He glances over at Strawberry and Spoiled and wants to smile, but he really can't find it in himself with the events of the day looming over them like a cloud. So he heads inside without a word. Once inside, he takes a breath. His hands are shaking as he puts the bags down on the counters to put away at some point. After some debating on what to do, he knocks on Chocolate's door gently, trying to find the words of an apology that won't sound fake.Sits on the couch, hold a cup of coffee, with Banana on his side, sleeping.Meanwhile Almond is tucking Strawberry into bed and Almond is chilling on an opposite couch from coffee and banana watching netflix on their phone.
Chocolate: “I know you're there Coconut.”
".. I- I wanna apologise, I guess. I feel like I was a total asshole today. I-" He pauses to wipe his eyes and take a breath. "I'm sorry. Really."
Chocolate: “No... I should be sorry. I pushed you to your edge and it wasn't okay. There's just a lot on my mind lately.”
Coconut:".. I know. I'm sorry for yelling. I love you and I just wanna make sure you're alright. Today was.. chaotic."
Chocolate: (Laughs) “Yeah…”
Chocolate: (Opens door, eyes clearly red) “Can I talk to you for a bit?”
Coconut: "Y-yeah." (He puts on his best brave face and forces a bit of a smile, hopefully to seem a bit reassuring.)
Chocolate: (Sits on bed and stays in silence for a minute or two. Coconut sits down next to him and runs a hand through his hair to calm himself down.
Coconut: "Is everything okay?"
Chocolate: “No, I miss the people we were before Smii7y left.”
Coconut:"Guess we were all pretty different, huh.. ?"
Chocolate: “Yeah, but... (Grunt) I don't know…”
Coconut:"I mean.. that's just- how it is. Things change, we change. We gotta adapt to.. new stuff. And we're still adapting to being without him, I guess.. "
Chocolate: “It's not that. I just miss Condensed and the other before everything happened.”
Coconut:"Y-yeah.. I do too." (At some point, tears spilled over and began rolling down his cheeks. He hardly even realized.)
Chocolate: “Ever since Smii7y left, Condensed changed into an edgy asshole who cares for no one and acted really nasty towards us, but he acted really nasty towards me, because he blamed me for Smii7y disappearing. He then pushed everything onto Coffee and you, making you guys much more stressful.”
Coconut:"Everyone's got different coping methods." (He wipes his eyes and lets out a sigh, smiling sadly.) "It- it's not a healthy way to cope but.. but he's trying."
Chocolate: “But it was my fault though. I continued to annoying Smii7y into leaving. If I didn't push him to his edge everyday, would he stayed?”
"I- it wasn't your fault." (Of course, Coco blames himself.) "You didn't annoy him into leaving. You didn't do anything. He would've left one way or another, no matter how you acted. I- I think that's just how life goes. Some things happen no matter what. Even if we treated him like a king, he probably would've left. It's.. it's out of our control."
Chocolate: “...”(Hugs Coconut)
Coconut: (Hugs Chocolate back and stifles a sob. He won't let himself show anything anymore. He's supposed to be the strong one. He wouldn't let himself. Instead, he just holds Chocolate close and holds his breath for a moment to keep back anything else.)
Chocolate: “If you tell anyone this happened, I will be mad.”
Coconut:"I know. Don't worry." He pulls away and forces a smile to lighten the mood a bit. "I'm glad we talked. Sometimes it really helps to talk things out when they're making you upset."
(Meanwhile, Spoiled's room is right next to Chocolate's. The walls are very thin. He. Heard. Everything. His lights may be off and his earbuds may be in, but his phone died a while ago. He just cries in silence for a little bit once he hears Coconut leave to check on strawberry on the other side of the house. Later Spoiled takes out a piece of paper and his favorite anime pen. He writes a note and leaves it on Chocolate's desk. Just four simple words. No name left behind, but the handwriting is obvious. Once Strawberry had been sufficiently calmed down with candy and hugs, he makes his way to the other side of the house and knocks on Spoiled's door gently.When there's no answer, he knocks a little harder. He is determined to give Spoiled love. The others besides Chocolate look at Coconut.Spoiled walks out of Chocolate's room and tries to quietly sneak into his secret hiding space in the attic. Chocolate holds and read the note, tears falling down his face.He turns around to see Spoiled and drops his shoulders a bit.)
Coconut: "Dean."
(Spoiled freezes in his tracks. He's trying to think. Can he outrun Coconut? Does he stay and be subject to possibly crying and breaking down? What do I do? What do I do? )
Coconut:"... Listen. I'm not here to yell at you. I wanna apologize for everything that happened today."
Spoiled: “I-um-uhhh…” (Tries to look a little bit tougher in front of the others who are "subtly" staring from the living room) “You. Me. In private.”
Coconut: "Yeah, yeah." (He laughs tiredly and gestures to the door to Spoiled's room, silently asking permission to open it- or at least silently asking for him to open it since he figures Spoiled doesn't trust him and wants to lead the way into a very emotional conversation. Spoiled rolls his eyes and swings the door open and makes and angry sarcastic face as he swings his arm out to welcome him to his humble abode)
Spoiled:"So what do you want?"
Coconut:(He steps inside and smiles a bit, hoping to not start this off on a bad mood.) "I just want you to know that I love and appreciate you and I don't want you to be upset after today."
Spoiled:(Is freaking out in his head but trying his best not to show it.) "I'm always upset dumbass"
(Shit why did I say that? he already hates me. They all do. Why do I keep doing this?)
Coconut:"Listen- I know you. I know you better than anyone here, I think. And I know that you're not okay." (His smile is gone.) "We're a lot alike. We hide things. We eternalize things. But I don't want you to do that. I just want you to tell me what's up and clear your conscious for a while."
Spoiled:"I don't have anything to talk about I'm fine. " (He grits his teeth)
Coconut:(He's silent as he steps forward and pulls Spoiled into a tight hug.)
Spoiled:"I'm not some toddler that needs to be consoled every time he scrapes his knee I'm fine."
Coconut:"Stop. Stop telling me you're fine. I'm so scared that you're secretly depressed and planning to off yourself and I need to know that you're okay."
Spoiled:( I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine.)
Coconut:"It's okay, I won't judge you for showing emotion- everyone has emotion. You're just putting up this front because you miss Smitty. I'm sorry. I know you think it's your fault." (He's sort of rambling by now. Seeing Spoiled say he's fine kinda just hurts and he doesn't know what to do.)
Spoiled:" I DON'T MISS HIM. HE DOESN'T MISS ME. HE DOESN'T MISS ANY OF US. I'M FINE! "
(His tears start flowing)
( Damit damit damit. Stop crying you idiot stop crying )
" I DON'T CARE. I NEVER CARED AND NEITHER DID HE! "
(Everyone else is at the door, listening to the conversation.)
Coconut:(There it is. He pulls Spoiled closer and shakes his head.) "I'm sorry. That's not true. He loves us." (Maybe he's just saying this to make himself feel better.) "I love you and it- it- it hurts to see you like this. You're crumbling from the inside out because you keep saying you're fine and I just wanna make you feel better somehow. Smitty loves us, he does."
Spoiled:"Quit lying to yourself Coconut. I know you're doing your stupid bullshit protective parent routine. You may have the others fooled, but I see right through you. You're just as broken as I am, if not more so"
Coconut:(Ouch. Coconut is quiet for a moment.) "It just scares me. You scare me. Seeing you like you are, it- I'm just afraid that suddenly I'm gonna lose you just like I lost Smitty, even if he's still.. there. I'm afraid you'll still be there but I won't be able to get to you."
Spoiled:"But that's what you do with spoiled milk, don't you? You throw it out. You don't think about it. You don't enjoy it. It's not healthy for you or anyone else. Just let go of it.There's no use in crying over spilled milk, so don't cry over me."
Coconut:"Well I won't l-let that happen. I won't let you go. You mean so much to me that it hurts to even think about letting you go. You're not really spoiled and I know that. Deep inside you're still you, you're still the sweetie that I grew to love; b-because you're my family. I won't let Smitty be the end-all of our lives and happiness. We can't let our world revolve around one asshole who doesn't understand what he's doing to us." (His voice is cracking but he remains stoic.)
Spoiled:(He's lying. I know he is. He doesn't want to lecture me right now. He wants to sleep. He needs to sleep. The last thing he should worry about is me…) “"But that's what you do with spoiled milk, don't you? You throw it out. You don't think about it. You don't enjoy it. It's not healthy for you or anyone else. Just let go of it.There's no use in crying over spilled milk, so don't cry over me."
Coconut:"Well I won't l-let that happen. I won't let you go. You mean so much to me that it hurts to even think about letting you go. You're not really spoiled and I know that. Deep inside you're still you, you're still the sweetie that I grew to love; b-because you're my family. I won't let Smitty be the end-all of our lives and happiness. We can't let our world revolve around one asshole who doesn't understand what he's doing to us."
(His voice is cracking but he remains stoic.)
Spoiled:(He's lying. I know he is. He doesn't want to lecture me right now. He wants to sleep. He needs to sleep. The last thing he should worry about is me...)
Spoiled:"I know you still think this is a family, but face it. This is nothing more than a broken and failed experiment. I DIDN'T ASK TO BE MADE! I NEVER WANTED TO BE MADE! "
Coconut:"I won't let him ruin us. I can't. I don't care if it kills me, I just want you all to be happy and safe because Smitty can't do that for us. I can't live knowing how broken you are, how fucked everything is. None of us wanted to be made! But- but it's what happened! It's what we have to deal with, this is- this is life."
Spoiled:"But...I care if it kills you..."
Coconut:(Talking fast makes him slightly breathless and it stops his voice from cracking. So maybe big long lecturing paragraphs can save him some embarrassment.)"... "
Spoiled:"Mikey...I can't lose another brother "( He pulls Coconut in by his shirt and buries his face in his chest and starts BAWLING)
" I CAN'T! I CAN'T! "
Coconut:"I love you, I do. It kills me to see what this is doing to you- to all of us."(He puts on a brave face and holds Spoiled close. He manages to ease his breathing but tears are streaming down his cheeks.)
Spoiled:" I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE! "
Coconut:"I won't. I'm not leaving. I never will. I c- can't. I couldn't leave you alone. You mean too much to me."
Spoiled:"..."
Coconut:"..."
Spoiled:" Thank you... "
Coconut:(He can't stop himself from trembling. His breathing is getting quicker and it's taking all his effort not to sob. He busies his mind with speaking.) "I l- love you, Dean. I won't leave you. I won't leave any of you. And I won't let any of you leave. We're a family, we- we.. stick together. Smitty made a mistake, a big one- but.. w- we can manage without him. I know you're strong. And none of us, we- we're never really alone. We have each other. So what does it matter if Smitty left us?"
Spoiled:"I-I don't know... it just feels like part of me is missing now..." (He clenches a fist over his spoiled green eye.)
(Meanwhile everyone else is at the door, listening to the conversation. Banana walks away from the door quietly before silently getting his shoes and hoodie on and leaving the house)
Almond: “Oi Banana! Get back here!” (Goes after him)
Banana:"I'm gonna find Smitty and you can't stop me! " (he runs faster as he looks for Johns name on his phone)
Almond: “Banana please it's too late to do this!” (Runs after him)
Banana:"Nothing is too late if you try!"
Almond: (Manages to grab his hoodie and picks him up) “Come on, let's go home.”
Banana:"Almond! Let me go! I want to find him! I NEED to find him!"
Almond: “NO you don't! You don't need to find Smii7y. Everything is fine. Coconut has everything under control.”
Banana: "Everything is not fine and you know this." (his words bitter as he stares at almond in the eyes)
Almond: (Continues to walk back home)
"I know you all are trying to stay happy but I don't see how with all this shit happening, Buck.."
Almond: (Opens the door and lets go of Banana, taking the phone) I'm a positive guy I guess (He puts the phone on top of the fridge, where Banana can't reach)
Banana:(he sighs and look at the door and Almond before huffing and running to his room)"Our family is a fucking mess and I don't even know how families work!"
Almond: (Looks at Banana storming off, before sitting on the couch)
Strawberry: (Knocks on Banana's door) “Nana! Are you okay?”
Banana:(having sat on the other side of the door with a few tears on his face he quickly wipes them away then opens the door) "I'm okay, Berry, don't worry."
Strawberry: “Do you want some of my gummy worms? Would that make you feel better?”
Banana:(he smiles before hugging Strawberry) "Sure, come on we got gummy worms to eat Berry!"
Strawberry: ‘Yeah!” (Smiles and hugs back)
(Banana laughs before pulling them to Strawberry's room where they can forget about what has happened for a while)
Almond: (Quietly sits on the couch, thinking about what just happened)
Soy: (Opens Strawberry's door) “Hey! What did I say about eating all your lollies at once!’
Banana:"We do what we want Soy!"(his smile staying as he giggles)
Strawberry: “Yeah! Tonight we are free men!” (giggles alongside Banana)
Soy: “...Well...can I have one?”
Banana:(he quickly tosses one over) "Here ya go!"
Soy:(Catches it because apps and games have improved his hand eye coordination) “Thanks!”
Strawberry: “But weren't you trying to be healthily though Soy?”
Soy: “Shut up...cheat night.”
Banana:"No problem, also when isn't it cheat night?"
Strawberry: “Yay! Cheat night!”
Soy: “Shut up. I'm trying to be sentimental.”
(Banana laughs as he lays down on the floor while Strawberry laughs alongside him. Soy lays in between them)
Banana:"I'm happy you guys are here."
Strawberry: “I'm happy you came back!”
Soy:"I'm glad you two are here too. Even though you both can be little butts."
Strawberry: “Yay! I’m a butt!”
Soy: “Berry, you are the cutest butt I've ever seen.And that's saying something/”
Strawberry: “Yeah! Almond says you seen a lot of butts! You must be the butt expert!”
Soy: “Almond says what now?”
Banana:"Oh my god does Almond really say that?"
Strawberry: “Yeah! He says you're very smart when it comes to butts! He says you like butts a lot!”
(Banana is covering his mouth as he laughs even harder)
Soy: “I'll talk with him later...right now? Cheat night. Banana, go grab a disney movie. We're having a slumber party.”
Strawberry: “Yay! Slumber party!”
Banana:"Alright I'll be right back!" (quickly he stumbles up and runs to where all the movies are and grabs a few for incase)
Almond: (Watches Banana get the movies) “Hey, are you doing okay?”
Banana:"Huh? Oh right yeah! Soy, Berry and I are having a slumber party, would you like to join?"
Almond: (Gets up) “Sure, I'll make some hot cocoa for you all!”
Strawberry: (Shouting from the other room) “YAY!”
"Alright! I'll meet you there!" (he gets up before bee lining back to Berry's room)
Soy: "LOW FAT CREAMER IN MINE PLEASE THANK YOU!"
Almond: “SURE BUTT EXPERT!”
Soy: “WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT TOMORROW!”
Banana:(he gets back onto the floor next to the others before laying down the movies) "Alright guys, which movie?"
Strawberry: “Well, what do you got?”
Banana:"I got Tangled, Snow White, Beauty and The Beast and Cinderella from the pile"
Strawberry: “I vote Beauty and The Beast!”
Soy:”Tangled!”
(Flynn is so hot omg!)
Strawberry: “I'll get the others and see what they want to watch!”(Strawberry runs to the kitchen to get Almond) “Hey Ollie! We having a vote on what Disney movie we are watching! Come in when you are ready!” (Runs to Chocolates room, where Coffee and Chocolate are chilling in)
Strawberry: Hey Fefe and Choco! We're watching Disney movies, come join us! (Runs off to find Coconut and Spoiled and goes to Spoiled’s door again. Are they still arguing?)
Coconut:"I know.. I know. It's- ah. I don't know how I can make you feel better but I just want you to be happy." (At some point, he stopped the lecture and started rambling out his thoughts.) "I can't live with myself knowing how broken you are. I was the first one, it's my goddamn responsibility to keep everyone happy. And I'll do that. I will. I won't let this be the end of us, I won't let us be broken by this."
Spoiled:"Just...don't break yourself in the process."
Coconut:(It's probably too late for that.) "I won't. I'm trying to be happy to set an example for you all." (He forces a smile and pulls away a bit, wiping his eyes.)
Spoiled:"What are you doing Mikey? Why do you have to keep pulling away? I just put everything out on the goddamn floor, and you're still pulling away? I don't care if you're supposed to be the "strong" one! All I need you to be is the safe one."
Coconut:"I'm trying to be the safe one. That's why I'm here. All I ever want is for you and everyone to be happy and safe forever, without Smitty determining our whole lives."
Spoiled:"I'm not talking about us! I'm talking about you! I know you're not as strong as everyone thinks you are, and you're DEFINITELY not as strong as you think you are."
Coconut:"I- I can be. I'm trying. Why does it matter how I'm doing anyways? I j- just want you to be happy, Dean. That's what matters to me."
Spoiled:"And your happiness matters to me. You matter to me. You're not my mom. You're my brother."
Coconut:(Ouch. He goes silent and holds his breath to stifle any crying. Ouch.)
Spoiled:(Spoiled shocks Coconut and pulls him in for a hug with one arm on his back and one hand over the back of his coconut hair)
Coconut:(Oh, okay. Maybe he's crying now. Maybe a lot. But they both go dead silent when they hear Strawberry knocking at the door.)
Strawberry: “Coco? Spoi?”
Spoiled:(Spoiled quickly pushes Coconut out of the way)
"What do you want?"
(Wipe away the tears fuck fuck fuck)
Strawberry: “We are watching Disney movies! Almond’s got hot choco! Come join us please!” (Runs off to Strawberry's room)
Coconut:(He pulls his shirt over his face and wipes away the tears quickly. Nope Nope Nope. Spoiled looks over at Coconut and back to the door,and back at him again. He isn't quite sure what to do, so he just shrugs. Movie night might be a nice change of pace from.. everything that just happened. He thinks it's fitting that as soon as he has a chance to let his emotions out, they're interrupted.)
Spoiled:"You get blankets. Fluffy ones. I got the popcorn."
Coconut:“Aw hell yeah.”
Spoiled:(Spoiled pauses as he walks out the door) "And Mikey?"
Coconut: (He follows behind, almost reluctantly, but stops when Spoiled addresses him.)
"... Hm?"
Spoiled:"I'm...sorry about how I act. I really do care about you guys...just don't forget to care about yourself, okay?"
Coconut:".. I know. I won't. I love you, Dean. Don't forget that."
Spoiled:"Same. Now go get the blankets." (He smiles. It's the first time he felt comfortable smiling in a long time) Go! "
Coconut:"Alright, alright." (He smiles back and rolls his eyes a bit, heading to the hallway closet to grab the emergency storage box of only the fluffiest blankets. He hums to keep his mind occupied to avoid overthinking.)
Soy: “Banana! Do we have a movie picked yet? And where's Chocolate and Coffee? They better get their butts over here!”
(soy is just rolling with the butt jokes at this point)
Banana:"Nope! We've been waiting on the others!"
Strawberry: “And Fefe and Choco are doing something important first. I don't know what it is though.”
Spoiled: “I have popcorn. Eat it and like it.”
Coconut:(After gathering a gigantic pile of the fluffiest blankets on the planet and a few pillows, he kicks the door open to whatever room they were doing movie night in since I totally didn't forget.) "Comfort delivery! Beep beep, watch out, I can hardly see past this stack of fluff."
Coffee: “Hey, I got cookies!” (Holding a bowl of cookies)
Strawberry: “WOAH!!!!”
Chocolate: (Holding a bowl of chips) “Let's get this over with.”
Spoiled: “If it's not a disney movie I'm leaving.” (He ruffles strawberry's hair but still keeps a straight face)
Strawberry: (giggles)
Banana:(smiling he shows the others the movies he grabbed) "Alright y’all gotta vote for what movie."
Coconut:(He drops the giant pile onto the floor and sits down, grabbing a fluffy dark green blanket for himself and wrapping himself in it happily.)
Strawberry: (Snuggles up with Coconut)
Spoiled:(Spoiled brought along his body pillow --without the anime cover-- and plops over it)
Coconut:(He wraps the blanket around Strawberry as well so they can share and smiles.) "Not bringing your weeb pillow?"
Spoiled: (slightly blushes) “Shut up you pina co-loser.”
Coconut:"Weak insult, pina coladas are amazing."
Almond: “Ooh! It's so nice and cozy in here! I've got the hot chocolate! What are our movie options?”
Banana:"Tangled, Snow White, Beauty and The beast, or Cinderella"
Coconut:"I vote Snow White."
Spoiled:"Of course you vote for the whitest movie here. Gimme Beast."
Strawberry:”YAY! I voted Beauty and The Beast too!”
Coconut:(He half expects this to turn into an argument so he quickly forgets any bias.)
Coffee: “Tangled is a good movie, I'll vote for that.”
Chocolate: “All of these movies are shit, so Im not voting.”
Strawberry: (Pouts) “Pick one!”
Chocolate: “FINE, I'll pick Snow White.”
Coconut:(Yesss!)
Banana:"I'm gonna go with Tangled as my vote."
Soy: “TANGLED! I'd Flynn Ryde(r) that all night!”
Almond: “Goddamn. I'll go for Tangled as well.”
Coconut:"Soy, ew. There are innocent people here who don't need to be corrupted."
Soy: “Oh please. You're no virgin either.”
Coconut:"I-" (FUCK.) "Actually.. "
Soy: “WOAH-WAIT-HOLD UP- WHAT?”
Coconut:"I know a lot. I was corrupted by your kinkiness. That doesn't mean I'm not a virgin."
"I- uhh.. " (WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO)
Coffee: “Oh my god” (Laughs)
Soy: “Oh no no no! We are discussing this at a later date. I will hook you up with someone later. Now? Tangled.”
Coconut:"No we aren't, just- put in a movie. Split vote, let's just settle on something.
Spoiled: “Beast.”
Soy:”TANGLED!”
Strawberry: (Puts Tangled in the DVD Player) “Sorry Spoi, Tangled won.”
Soy: (Fist pumps) “Y E E T! ....................I mean yes!”
Banana:"YEET!"
Spoiled: (completely deadpan)“Yeet.”
Coffee: “He... Yeet” (Stuffs face with cookies)
Coconut:(Cue the very soft and amused yeet.)"We gotta get some new movies. 101 Dalmatians is the best Disney movie ever."
Spoiled: “No, black cauldron obviously was.”
Coconut:"You emo fuck. I've never even seen that one."
Banana:"All of them are the best."
Soy: (Turns down the lights) “Alright everyone! It's starting!”
Coffee: “Guys, guys calm down. No swearing in front of the children. After all, Mulan is the best Disney movie.”
Soy: “It's Frozen ,but I'll let Mulan slide since she kicks as-butt. She kicks butt.”
Banana:(smiling, he goes over and lays by Spoiled) "Yall are great."
Almond: “Please, Frozen is nothing but a cash-grab now. Hercules is the best Disney movie.”
-THE MOVIE TURNS ON-
Strawberry: “EVERYBODY SHUSHIES!!!”
(Coconut pats Strawberry's head simply because he found the word 'shushies' cute. Shushies. As the movie goes on, strawberry begins to fall asleep. By the time the movie is done Strawberry and Banana are noticeably passed out they can't tell at first, but Spoiled is...snoring? By then, Coconut had given up his favorite green blanket and surrendered it to the sleeping Strawberry. He glances over at Spoiled and finds himself smiling, seeing him snoring softly and curled up with the body pillow.)
Coffee: “Alright lump stick, time to get up.” (Falls onto Spoiled's back)
Spoiled: “Ack! What the hell- JITTERBUG! GET OFF OF ME! OOF!”
Coconut:(He smiles. It's a genuine smile. He looks tired, but happy. It's kinda sweet seeing Spoiled like that.)
Coffee: “VENGEANCE!!!” (He says laughing) “This is what you get for putting makeup on my face!”(Coffee scruffs up Spoiled's hair as he gets off)
Spoiled: “What's so wrong with giving your bitter little face some color?” (He tosses a pillow at him and yawns)
Coffee: (Laughs)
(Almond carries Strawberry over his shoulder to bed.In mom-friend mode, Coconut picks up Banana before anyone can jump on him. He takes him to his room and tucks him comfortably into his bed, kissing him on the nose ever so gently, to wish him good dreams and comfortable sleep.)
Soy: (Gets up and stretches) “Alright boys. I need my beauty sleep.”
Spoiled: “Heh, yeah you do.”
Soy: “Shut up and go to bed you lump.”
Coconut:(He returns to the move night room and is glad to rightfully take his blanket back.)
"Don't be so mean to each other." He laughs a bit and wraps the blanket around his shoulders like a cape.
Almond: “It's okay butt expert, you got to see Finn Ryder.”
Soy: “Oh! Well we have to listen to the blanket king! And it's Flynn. Excuse you.”
Coconut:"Yes, you do! Now quit teasing each other and go to bed."
Spoiled: “Fine. Whatever.”
Soy: “'Kay. Night you guys. Love you!”
Coffee: “I sure do need sleep.” (Eats the rest of the cookies)
Almond: “Night butt expert.”
Soy: (Whispering in Almonds ear) “Sure thing groin inspector.”
Almond: “How dare you bring that up.”
Coconut: “Pffft-”
Soy: “Goodnight mom.”
Spoiled: “Night losers.”
Coconut: (Deep sigh.) "Night everyone." (He grabs the bowl of chips for himself, since it was mostly untouched in the presence of cookies, and heads to his room with the blanket still around his shoulders.)
