Party poison made it very clear from the very beginning that they did not like Cherri Cola. Did they have a reason to dislike him? No, but that didn’t stop them from making fun of Cherri every chance they got.
Kobra would try to get Party to back off but he never succeeded. Party would either ignore their brothers request or respond with another jab at Cherri.
Party could not fathom why their younger Brother was so close with Cherri. Cherri Cola was over at the diner almost every single day, he and Kobra were truly inseparable.
Maybe Party wasn’t totally clueless and actually saw what was happening between Cherri and Kobra. But that probably wasn’t the case considering Party was a complete idiot.
Party was extremely protective over Kobra, anytime he went to race at the CrashTrack Party was a nervous wreck. They’d cheer their brother on while panicking that he was going to die.
So here they were, they had just gotten back from a Run with Ghoul and Jet. Ghoul and jet went off to do their own thing and Party went to find their younger brother.
They went his room which was the old freezer in the diner, it had long stopped working. There Kobra was in bed.
Everything was perfectly normal except for the fact that Cherri Cola was also in the bed. Worse he had his arms wrapped around their brothers waist.
Party held back a scream and resisted the urge to slam the door. They ran into the main room of the diner where Jet and ghoul were sat at a diner booth.
Party slammed their hands onto to the table startling both Ghoul and Jet. “Did you all know about Cherri and Kobra?”.
Ghoul laughed, “Kobe’s knew you’d get pissed so he told us not to tell you.”.
“This true Star?” They asked because the probability that Ghoul was just trying to fuck with the was pretty high.
Jet shrugged, “Yeah, can’t say I blame Kobra. I mean look at yourself.”
Party’s face was scrunched up in anger and they were almost as red as their hair. Their entire body looked tense as they were now gripping the diner table.
“Well excuse me I just found out my brother has been romancing Cherri Fucking Cola and didn’t tell me!”
Ghoul shrugged, “At least he’s not with that whiny kid from that one Party in zone four. I think he’s still writing songs about Kobra.”
Jet star looked up at Party, “Look, Cherri is a nice guy he’s done nothing but help us out. Maybe you should give him a chance.”.
Party rolled their eyes and let out a sigh. They crossed their arms against their chest, “I can give Cherri a chance, I just wish Kobra would have told me.”
“I’m sure He’ll tell you soon.”
Kobra did not infact tell Party that he was dating Cherri. It wasn’t until two weeks later when Cherri was over at the diner that Kobra learned Party knew about his relationship with Cherri.
Party was going up to the roof to be by themselves for a minute. Frustratingly their plans were foiled when they found Cherri and Kobra cuddled up against each.
“Oh Witch Damn it!” Party cursed at the scene in front of them.
Kobra whispered something to Cherri that Party couldn’t make out. Nervously, he walked over to Party.
“What do you want?” Kobra asked cautiously, afraid of what his sibling was going to say.
“You’re dating fucking Cherri Cola.”
“Oh,” Kobra looked down at his feet and began fidgeting with his hands. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.”
“You should have.”
Party Poison climbed down the ladder on the side of the dinner. They ignored Kobra calling after them and walked into the diner.
Furiously, they ran into their room slamming the door behind them.
They grabbed a sketchbook from underneath their bed. They were the only one with a real bed as they claimed the bed frame after Jet discovered it in a junkyard.
They began sketching fiercely, not even caring about what they were drawing. They just needed an outlet for their emotions and that outlet was their art.
As they drew they began thinking, Sure, they didn’t like Cherri and it annoyed them that out of everyone in the zones Kobra wound up with Cherri. They could get around that fact. If their brother was happy they were happy
Their issue was that Kobra hadn’t told them, Kobra told Jet and Ghoul but didn’t tell Party and that hurt.
There was a knock on their door, they groaned. “What?”
“Its me Pois,” it was Kobra. From the way he spoke Party could tell he was being cautious. “Can I come in?”
Party sat their sketchbook down on their bed and opened the door. “What?” They spat, not wanting to talk to their brother at the moment.
“I should have told you I just-“
“You told Jet and Ghoul.” Party interrupted Kobra before he could finish speaking.
“So you knew?”
“Yeah I figured you would tell me eventually. But here we are two weeks after I found out.”
“Pois’ I was scared of what you would say! You’re always going on about how much you despise Cherri!”
“I honestly could care less about that. It just hurts that you told Jet and Ghoul before you told me!”
“Oh so everything would have been shiny if I walked up to you and said “hey im dating Cherri cola”!”
Again, they found theme selves not being able to blame Kobra. They all the comments they had maid about Cherri in the past. If they were in Kobra’s place they would have told themself either.
Party put their hands on Kobras shoulders, “Kobes, you’re my brother I just want you to be happy,” They rolled their eyes “And if that means you dating Cherri them I’m fine with that.”
They took their hands of Kobras shoulders and hugged him. “I’m sorry I overreacted.”.
Kobra pulled away from the hug, “Does this mean you’ll stop making fun of Cherri?”
They breathed in sharply and held up their hands, “I can’t make any promises.”
