Jeff chuckled. He loved his brother, and though some would find him a little out there, he was fond of his little quirks. It was what made Ryder, Ryder and Jeff wouldn’t change him for anything. “Well then, that song request taken…” he mused, starting to strum his guitar and sing the nursery rhyme softly.

“No way! It’s more real chocolate than cocoa puffs!” he countered, shaking his head defiantly. “It’s one hundred percent real dark chocolate, would you like to read the wrapper?” Jeff smiled, the two were kidding mostly, but it was still fun. “I’ll let her know, bro. But then again, we’re not going back to Colorado for a while.”

Ryder shook his head back and forth as he played the song. “If I started singing the Alphabet Song right now, and I bet you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference! Isn’t that funny? And then I could go into Ba-Ba Black Sheep and still, you wouldn’t know the difference. That’s pretty straight up, yo.”

He almost dropped the shirt he was folding. “Cocoa has at least the word cocoa in it.” He tapped his chin. “Yes, actually come bring it here.” He gestured for him to sit by him on the floor. “I’d make a jet and go back for a day, if that’s what it required. Plus there is always Skype.”

Jeff laughed, shaking his head. “Bro, that song has one verse,” he pointed out, giving him a look. “Most good songs are a little bit longer than that, but hey if you want me to play you Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, I will.”

Jeff flinched when the bag was chucked at him and he sighed, taking one out. “Protein bars have chocolate, trust me, they’re heaven!” he replied, munching on the cookie just to make his twin happy. “Excuse you, Mary packed my suitcase. You can yell at her for poor folding technique.”

Ryder gasped. “Well than it must’ve been one damn good verse if it was used for three different songs!” He began refolding Jeff’s clothes and placing them on the ground next to him. “Yes yes you should.”

Ryder shook his head. They looked a like but they acted nothing a like. “The chocolate in protein bars is one hundred percent fake, Jeffrey. It doesn’t even taste real. Or good, most of the time.” Ryder stared at his brother thoughtfully. “Remind me to call her and tell her to attend my folding seminars.”

I ate way too much

Always eat Ryder, never not eat. Food is so damn good, so very very good.

Ah yes! Yes it is! What I’d do without food, I don’t know.

Jeff rolled his eyes at his brother, in a nice way of course. “Sure it is Ry,” he replied, humming the tune softly so that he wouldn’t loose his place. “Yeah but they’re no good. I think what they say about relationships being necessary for songs is true.”

He watched his brother eat, finally noticing for the first time that day that his own stomach was growling. Jeff reached over and grabbed a protein bar from his side table, munching on it happily from his perch. “I do not! You have way more than me! I just have t-shirts, jeans and a few nice clothes.”

Ryder started to take the clothes out of the suitcase. He shrugged. “Jeffrey, I’m pretty sure Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is one of the best songs ever and it’s not about a relationship. I mean, maybe it’s about someone falling love with a star but i highly doubt that”

Ryder saw his brother get a protein bar and threw the bag of cookies at him. “Stop eating healthy and have a cookie.” He laughed looking back into the suitcase. “You’re not going to have any more nice clothes if you don’t know how to fold properly!”

I ate way too much

lyricalblaine:

Possibly that could be true.

And I suppose since no one has imploded, I don’t think, from an excessive amount of food, we are free to eat as much as we want! Eat on my friend, eat on.

Jeff laughed, holding up the accoustic guitar that was nestled in his lap. “It’s making music!” he replied, strumming softly as if to prove it. He chuckled all the same, nudging his brother with his food when he sat down.

“Mom’s are on my suitcase and Mary’s are in my backpack,” Jeff replied, smiling as he turned back to his guitar and played the beginning of Clocks by Coldplay. “Thanks for coming, Ry. You know I’d never really get around to unpacking.”

Ryder shook his head. “I believe the guitar was making the noise, Jeffrey.” He laughed and stood up heading over for to the suitcase. “Just kidding. Have you written any new songs lately?”

He picked up the bag of cookies and took one out. He smiled. “Ah exactly like Mom’s!!” He zipped the bag back up and put the suitcase on the floor. “You have too many clothes.” He said looking into the suitcase.

Jeff was lying on his bed, looking around the rather cramped room. He had a single, though he wasn’t sure why since it seemed that people roomed in pairs around here, but it was for the better. Without anyone in the second bed, he was able to put his keyboard on top of it as well as his ukelele. It was his own personal desk almost. But that was about all his room had that was unpacked from break. Even his electric guitar and bass were still in their cases! But Jeff had had better things to do than unpack, like write another song.

One thing was for sure, though; he had the best brother in the world. Ryder was coming over to not just help him unpack, but to do it for him! And all it costed Jeff were some cookies that he knew he’d probably never remember to eat anyways. He smiled at the knock, throwing his stress ball at it as a signal for his twin to come inside. “Hey, Ry!” he greeted, looking up once his double entered.

Ryder jumped aback as the ball hit the door. Yes, of course Jeff had used it as a a sign but Ryder never anticipated it. He opened the door and walked in, closing it behind him. He shook his head. “Ya know, laying on your bed doesn’t really seem equivalent to making music.” He laughed and picked up the ball from the floor. He took it and sat down on the edge of Jeff’s bed.

He threw the ball up in the air then at Jeff’s face. “Now where are these cookies I was promised? I must bed fed before I do any real work.”

I ate way too much

One can never eat too much. Unless one were to implode, then maybe that would be too much.

Ryder jumped up off his bed and walked out his door. He put his hands in his pockets and walked down to Jeff’s room. He had a productive day, well sort of. He unpacked and cleaned, which was pretty much just a normal day for him. So maybe the day wasn’t so productive, but at least he could pretend it was.
Ryder finally reached the door he had grown accustomed to since the months that they had been there before the winter break. He knocked lightly and waited for Jeff to come to the door or yell at him that it was open. He couldn’t believe Jeff hadn’t unpacked nor had he eaten any cookies.

Finally!

jeffiesterling36:

Of course, they’re on top of my suitcase.

Aha, so you really had no chance of ever eating those cookies. I’ll be right over!

Finally!

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 00:43:30 -0500

jeffiesterling36:

Thank you! I still have some of the cookies Mom made if you want them.

Yeah, yeah no problem. Can I please have them?!

Finally!

jeffiesterling36:

Brother, I was making my own music. You should just do it now.

What am I, a monk? Fine, it would have bothered me anyway.

Finally!

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 00:27:13 -0500

jeffiesterling36:

Music!

If it was listening to music, you could have been multitasking! But if not fine, fine. But if it’s not put away in a week, I’m going to have to do it for you.

Finally!

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 00:22:24 -0500

jeffiesterling36:

I’ll get around to it! I’ve had better things to do than to put my teeshirts into drawers when it came in a lovely suitcase to begin with.

What could possibly be better than making things neat and clean?

Finally!

jeffiesterling36:

I don’t see how we’re twins, my stuff is still in my suitcases.

STILL?! Is it not annoying? Please tell me you are going to do it eventually.

I feel good about this smester already.

hummel-inthehouse:

How’s everyone else doing?

It’s always good to enter each semester positively! Good for you, Cameron, right?

I could definitely use another week of break.

lizbeth-b:

Wow, I can’t wait! Ahah. So, Ryder, right? What’s up?

It’ll be here sooner than you think! Yup, yup Ryder it is! Not much, really. My room is 100% clean and now there is nothing to do! What’s up with you Liza?!

I could definitely use another week of break.

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 20:00:46 -0500

lizbeth-b:

Meh, I actually prefer winter break. Even though it’s shorter.

Well then at least another winter break is coming up in just over 300 days!

I could definitely use another week of break.

lizbeth-b:

But just think, we are one day closer to summer now!

Finally!

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 18:57:16 -0500

All my stuff is neatly in order, again. Who’s excited to be back at school?
