== BE THE DERP

"John."

"John."

"John."

Someone was calling my name, and it wasn't a dream. I opened my eyes and saw my blonde haired best friend staring down at me.

"Hey, Egderp," he said softly. "How you feeling?"

Now that he reminded me, I remembered how I was feeling like shit.

"Horrible," I croaked out.

Dave frowned. "Well, do you think you could manage to get out of bed? Bro made soup for us."

"I, I think so," I said quietly. "Help me up please?"

Dave stretched his hand out to me, and gripped my own hand. Gently, he helped me sit up. My head didn't hurt so badly now.

"How you doing?" Dave asked.

"Ah, good. My head doesn't hurt as much as before, heh."

"Good, Egderp. Come on, we have a date with Bro," Dave said, leading me out of the bedroom.

Silently, I followed him down the hall, to the kitchen, where Bro had laid out three bowls of hot soup. Dave pulled out my chair for me and I sat down, still not making a noise. I guess I was too sick.

Dave sat beside me, while Bro sat on the other side. I could feel Bro's eyes on me, as I ate a spoonful of the soup. The soup was really tasty.

"Wow, Bro! This is really good," I told him.

He smirked. Classic Strider. "Thanks, derp."

I quickly ate the rest of the soup, liking the way it warmed me up. After we all finished, Bro asked us what we wanted to do.

== BE THE BRO

"So what do you two wanna do?" I asked them, staring at them behind my shades.

I was hoping they would suggest a movie.

"Well I don't really feel like doing anything," John said quietly.

I noticed Dave look at him from the corner of his shades. "We don't have to, Egbert, we can just go back to bed."

Wow, my little brother really has it bad for the derp.

I decided to suggest the movie myself, "How about a movie? You don't have to do anything, and you can sleep if you want John."

John seemed to like that idea. So did Dave.

"Okay," they said together.

So I got up and put the movie on, sitting to the side of the couch. John sat beside me, and Dave beside him. Immediately, Dave and John starting cuddling. How freaking cute.
