Work Text:
December at the ministry is always a hectic time, finishing up the end of the year projects and getting ready for the new year. Copia and Perpetua are sitting in Copia's office going over what Perpetua has to do in 2027. Both of them really don't want to be there, they're both mentally checked out on vacation. Perpetua looks out the window to the snow gently falling and kids running around throwing snowballs at each other and making snow devils.
"Perpetua, are you paying attention!" Copia snaps at Perpetua and it causes him to jump. Copia sighs, "I know this is not fun but our Parents are breathing down my fucking neck to get you set up for success. As I was saying, Mountain is usually chill and does his own thing. Dew, Phantom, and Rain...all fucking pains in the asses, they don't do half the shit I tell them to." which is true. Those 3 literally cannot work together.
Copia goes on about the Ghoulettes and how they're the best at listening and advice. They've been there and done that, they've all consoled Copia at one time or another. He talks about the fans and how devoted they are and mentions something about tickling their taint and wobbling asses. Perpetua will never understand that but he just nods away but mentally drifting off again
"Can we take a break or something? I don't think I can handle another second of your yapping." Perpetua groans and Copia rolls his eyes, "This is boring me and you and I know both know there's something better to do." Perpetua continues and rubs his temples.
"Fine, what do you have in mind? Watching TV? Reading? Playing video games?" Copia lists off, Perpetua has NONE of that in mind. He glances at the snow outside and back at Copia with a grin. "Youre so fucking on." Copia grins back.
Copia is hit in the back of the head and the sounds of Perpetua's laughter and be heard across the ministry's lawn. "When I fucking find you, it's over for you Perpetua!" Copia shouts into the still air. He's starting to regret agreeing to his brother's idea of a break. Perpetua has hit him more times than he can count and Copia can't aim for shit. Can he toss a microphone between hands? Sorta. Copia spots his brother's hat behind one of the stone walls and as soon as Perpetua pops his head up, Copia has his perfect opportunity to get his revenge. Perpetua slowly peeks up from the wall seeing his brother look right at him. Perpetua ducks behind the wall to gather up a plan in how to get out of this. Unfortunately for Perpetua he took too long on thinking and Copia one ups him, the last thing Perpetua sees is a grinning Copia and a snowball in hand.
"Fucking FINALLY I got your ass." Copia cheers. Perpetua rolls his eyes and thinks of an idea. Before getting up he picks up a pile of snow.
"Yeah, yeah, you got me." Perpetua plays it cool until Copia turns his back on him. "Big brother wins again." Perpetua sighs. Just a little bit longer until Perpetua can carry out his plan and he hopes it soon because his hand is starting to freeze.
"Now youre finally getting it, only took a lifetime for you to understand. Alright break time is done. We gotta get back to work." Copia saying finally turning his back. Perpetua waits until Copia is just a few feet away from him before dashing across the snow.
Copia taking his time through the snow and enjoying the crunching underneath him and watching the snow silently fall around him when all of a sudden the crunching behind him get's louder and more frequent. Perpetua shoves the snow down Copia's jacket causing him to shriek. Copia chases Perpetua around the lawn and the laughter of the brothers can be heard echoing through out the yard. It's rare that the brothers get time like this, between having Papa duties and Frater duties. They decide that the meeting can wait until next year, brothers bonding will always be more important than the stupid ass meeting.
