"And then there was the time I got you to lick the electrical socket like four times in a row," Mercury said, thinking. "Really, looking back on it I got everyone here to do a lot of things they probably shouldn't have. I'm an amazing sibling."
“What are you doing back here mercury?” Case asked wxcited
Pluto got up and opened the door, going downstairs to investigate. It was obvious that he had been crying despite thefact that he had wiped away his tears.
"Am I not allowed to visit my favorite eight younger siblings and mother?" Mercury asked, unable to keep the smile off his face. "I missed you guys." He turned to look at Pluto coming down the stairs before noticing the tear tracks on his face. He faltered for a moment, but he didn't want to ruin the happy reunion by asking what was wrong and possibly getting his youngest brother to cry again, so instead he smiled and moved to give him a hug.
Pluto hugged Mercury silently. He couldn't decide whether he wanted to speak or not, but whatever he chose, he seemed unable to speak anyhow. All he did was wonder why Mercury had returned. Did he need something? Money? Food? Shelter?
Beau followed after Pluto, running a hand through his messy, dark hair as he fiddled with his hearing aid once again. It had soon become a habit since he had first received the contraption, though he could never keep himself from doing it. Glancing up, he noticed that it was Mercury, a quick, bright smile crossing his lips as he recognized his brother. "Mercury? You're finally back!" Beau spoke up, his words almost exclaimed as he found himself getting excited, the moments of sadness with Pluto brushed aside for a few short minutes.
Mercury smiled and hugged Beau as well. He pulled away and gave them both giant grins. "I didn't think you all missed me that much," he teased. "If I mention that I'm only visiting for a couple of days do I get a hug everyday?"
Kai walked down the stairs. He paused at the bottom and waved his hand in a hesitant wave. "Oh, hi, Mercury," he said.
Venus deadpanned, "No. No it doesn't."
"Not exactly, but you'll get some now," Beau added, glancing over at Venus and grinning faintly once she made her sarcastic comment. He hadn't seen Mercury in a while, though he was usually an easily excitable kid anyways.
Mercury pouted. "You people are so mean to me." He turned to Kai. "I'm guessing you're too old for a hug then?"
Kai glanced to the side. His dignity, or the warm embrace of a long-missed sibling…hmm…yeah. "Yeah…nah." He grinned, his cool facade fading away. "Bring it in, dude. There's no way I'm not getting a hug."
Mercury gave Venus a smug look and hugged Kai. He turned back to her after he stepped away from his younger brother. "Are you only not hugging me because I brought up the soap incident?"
Venus sighed. She thought at least Kai wouldn't get a hug. She nodded slowly, "Totally the only reason. That and I am an independent woman."
Camilla stepped back in from the backyard when she saw her long lost brother. "Mercury!" She cried out and tackled him to the floor in a hug.
Mercury let out a choked sound of surprised and fell to the ground. He started laughing soon after. "I see you're as excited as ever," he said to her.
"I've missed you soo much! I made somethings for you." She exclaimed before getting up and running to the kitchen. (What is his favorite dessert/food?)
(Pudding)
"Ooh!" Mercury practically squealed, before clearing his throat and standing up. "I am an adult." He stated, as if trying to convince himself.
Venus coughed into her hand, "No you're not."
( A 5 year old trapped inside a 21 year old body.) Camilla ran back into the living room. "I made you pudding!"
"I can legally drink alcohol, which by legal standards makes me an adult, so yes, I am." Mercury said. "And before you ask, no, I am not drunk."
"I am so glad I came home." He muttered as he took the pudding and held it before him like it was some sort of sacred object.
Venus shook her head, "And mentally you are five. I swear my life on this."
Mercury gave her an offended look. "I survived high school. I'm in college, and I've only passed out from emotional exhaustion on top of my roommate twice this month. I deserve this."
Venus chuckled, "Fine eat your pudding!"
(Wait is it a bowl or a cup? Because if it's in a bowl he's just going to stick his face into it)
