Twin Attraction (riverrust & xanaphia)

[riverrust]

Jared sat in a window box and stared out into the rainy autumn day with a faraway look in his intelligent eyes. He was thinking...thinking of someone in that way so typical of the healthy male. He could envision her easily, in many scenarios, in many places, in many positions. When an exciting scene popped into his head, he turned and gazed briefly at his twin brother, who was stretched out on the couch texting someone.

Jared turned back to the window feeling a sort of discomfort, and a not-so-pleasant mood crept up on him. As his thoughts returned to his musings about what he longed for - the sensual and erotic activities he would one day, so he thought, experience with this girl he was infatuated with - he drew his lip up in a bit of disgust, and exhaled a deep breath. But into his musings sneaked visions of his brother with a riding crop, or a chain, or whatever seemed apropos to his nature, and Jared grimaced.

Again he glanced back at his sibling, but this time he was startled to find Jason staring back at him with a slight sneer curling up the corner of his mouth. Jared furrowed his brows. "What?!" he asked, irritated. "You tell me," was Jason’s snide reply. Jared shook his head, and got up from the window box. He began to pace the room, shaking his head occasionally, and making a "tssk" sound now and again.

He halted suddenly and stared blankly. "What the hell are we going to do, then?" he asked his brother in exasperation. "Are you serious about her...like I am...or is it just another opportunity for you?" Jason turned back to his phone casually. "Why do you care," he said, "do you think she's some kind of angel? Get real, man!" Jason concluded. And Jared, gritting his teeth, walked out of the living room.

 

[Xanaphia]

Veronica, checked her phone every few minutes, disappointed when it had the same display as the last time she checked. 0 NEW MESSAGES, taunting her. She couldn't focus on her studying, organic chemistry seemed dull compared to the texts she was receiving from Jason. She wished she had gotten Jared's number too, maybe he would be more consistent in answering her texts. She almost asked Jason, but she thought she might offend, if he thought she wasn't interested in him alone. bzzz She picked it up before the message tone could even come on. 1 NEW MESSAGE it read, lifting her heart. Jason was asking her out for drinks. She replied quickly with a yes, not even a minute after receiving it. She agonized over it for a couple minutes and sent a second text, asking if Jared would be there. She received a reply, but she could tell he hadn't received the second text yet, or he was ignoring her question. The Red Door it read, and she knew where he meant. She picked out a cute blue dress, knee length and showing just a hint of cleavage. He paired it like black heels, 2", rather subtle actually. She applied some lip gloss and mascara, not trying to look like she was trying hard. She sent off one more text before tossing her phone in her purse and heading out the door.
