“Ty, that’s not how you—”
Connor’s ears prick and he flinches as he hears a loud crash from the other room. He shoots a glance at Schlatt, who just laughs, and he stands up, making his way over to poke his head in the door.
“What the hell are you two doing in there?” He asks, looking around at the scene before him.
Ty is trying to clean up a mess of flour on the floor. A bowl is lying upside down beside him, and he looks up at Connor with a sad expression that just makes Connor have to stifle a laugh.
“We were trying to make a cake.” Grunk takes it upon himself to explain. He’s sitting on the counter with a book of instructions, not bothering to help his poor brother clean up at all.
Connor rolls his eyes and pats Grunk on the back, causing him to hop off the counter.
“Help Ty,” he says. “Don’t be a little shit.”
“But it’s his fault!” Grunk complains.
“I don’t care.” Connor says. “Help him, unless you want Schlatt to have to tell you.”
Grunk looks upset, but does as he’s told anyways, squatting down to help his brother clean up the flour.
Connor watches them to make sure Grunk actually helps – and jumps a little when he’s noticed Schlatt has appeared behind him.
“Prime, don’t sneak up on me like that!” He exclaims, looking up at the sheep hybrid.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” Schlatt mumbles, putting an arm over the shorter man’s shoulder.
“Daaaad! Ty threw flour at me!”
Schlatt raises an eyebrow at Grunk’s whining. “Yeah? What’d you do?”
“Nothing!” Grunk huffs.
“Uh-huh.”
“He pulled my tail.” Ty says, not looking up from where he’s cleaning. “So I threw flour at him for being an asshole.”
Schlatt chuckles. “Sounds like you deserved it then, Grunk.”
“That’s not fair!!”
Grunk tosses flour at Ty, and the two start to bicker again as Connor steps forward to push the two apart.
“I’ll clean it up myself, stop fighting.” He says, rolling his eyes. “Ask Schlatt to help you two with the cake.”
Ty and Grunk exchange a mischievous look before running off to bother Schlatt. Connor watches them and smiles as he finishes cleaning up the mess, before joining them in their attempt at baking.
