“You two could be related!”

It’s not abnormal for the four of them to be lounging about, especially when they all know that Sai has the best heater, the uni provided heaters are passable at best. Since the excitement at the dorm party, it’s like the universe knew that after all the heat in the winter months, they needed to be reminded what season it actually, still is — queue the brutal cold snap only 48 hours later.

Ari had tried her best to be a responsible student — yes — she made her way to Sai’s house, she arrived with her laptop, textbooks, and stationery all in tow. It’s hardly her fault that the chaos that Vi and Erik brought with them caused her to abandon her studies and lounge with the rest of them.

Vi and Erik for their part, well — didn’t even try. Erik had focused on completing his task for Mrs Revers and called it a day, Vi was the biggest corrupting force, wearing what felt like 45 layers and wrapping herself in a blanket, sitting next to Erik while he ‘tried’ to ‘study’, chattering her teeth — threatening to turn them to dust with her each violent snap.

It’s not like Erik really was that interested in studying anyway.

————-

“Did you actually ditch class?”

Vi nods in response to Ari’s question, Erik and Sai sit on the couch — locked into an intense game of a soccer video game, a few feet away from the table the girls claimed.

“Aren’t you worried? We get that small break and then it’s mid terms?”

Vi looks up form her crochet and nods again, “Yeah, I know. I already read ahead on this class.”

Ari glares at her, “What the fuck? When did you have time to do that?”

Vi cocks her head to the side, eyes blank with confusion, “It wasn’t that hard, just a few formulas.”

Erik scoffs from the couch, “How are you not used to her shit by now, Ari?” Erik laughs, just as he scores against Sai, causing him to throw his head back in frustration, Erik take’s a quick look at Ari, “You’ve known her longer than I have after all!”

Ari grumbles under her breath as Vi tries to throw a ball of yarn towards Erik, smacking him harmlessly in the chest as he laughs.

“This’s games such bullshit.”

“Skill issue.” Erik chuckles as the virtual referee blows for the 90.

“You’re just a fucking nerd.”

“Mad cos bad.”

Erik rolls his eyes, reaching for his phone.

“Did you know our mums still hang out?” Sai asks after a few minutes of phone time, both the girls ears turning red as they pause their own conversation, the girls make eye contact, communicating with just their eyes.

Has Erik told you much about his mum?

No, has Sai?

The girls both lock in.

“Did they ever really?”

“Yeah man… After high school? Mum wanted a girlfriend, since Dad left.” He shrugs.

“Oh, cool, I guess.”

“You don’t talk to Laura?”

Erik grimaces, averting his gaze, “I forgot to for the whole first year… And now it just feels awkward…”

Sai gives him a funny look, “Bro….”

He clears his throat, “Well, I think mum took her to Europe.”

“What makes you say that?”

He turns his phone towards Erik, he raises his eyebrows at the picture, “Wow.”

The phone disappears from view, replaced by an outstretched Ari flying through the air, landing violently on top of Erik, she snatches the phone from the ground, having tumbled out of Sai’s hands, she scurries back to Vi, Sai is dazed, taking some drive by impact from Ari.

“Well done minion!” Vi grins, leaning over to get a peek.

“You could’ve just asked…” Sai groans, turning to look at the girls.

“Could we have?! You two are so squirrelly about your parents!” Ari protests.

The boys look at each other, already knowing what’s coming as the girls take a proper look at the photo Sai’s mum sent.

“What the fuck?…” Vi says softly.

Ari looks up, looking almost distraught.

“Don’t be so dramatic, guys…” Erik groans.

“ARE YOU TWO RELATED??!!” The girls ask loudly, completely in unison.

Sai makes a mocking hand motion and mocks the girls.

“No, we’re not.” Erik answers flatly.

“Are you fucking sure!?” Ari turns the phone around, “Your mums look like twins!”

Erik’s eyes fall on the image again. Sai’s mum, Sue, on the left, his step mum, Laura, on the right.

“Are you sure you’re not related?” Vi asks in a frightful tone.

Sai answers this time, “Yeah, we got tested as kids”

The girls give him a look.

“We’re best mates! We were freaked out when our mums demanded that they meet each other when we were young! They look similar! So, Erik and I did a DNA test, no relation at all.”

The girls look at the phone again, turning it back towards them, Vi tilts her head, grabbing at her own larger chest, looks at the image, then looking at Ari’s chest, and then to the image, and then to the boys again.

“Oh my god you two have mommy issues.”

“You’re so annoying, both of you.” Erik says.

{fr{ nods, snatching his phone back, “Agreed.”

——

The boys go back to playing their game, the girls, once satisfied they’re distracted, begin to whisper.

“HO-lee shit.”

“I know.”

“They’re soo..”

“Hot?”

“Yeah!”

“Her tits are huge!”

“I know!”

“Do you think they..”

“About each others mum?”

“Yes!”

“Definitely!”

They pause…

“About their own mum?!”

The girls glance over to the oblivious boys…
