"Is he a legal adult who can, legally, do whatever the fuck he wishes? Then tough luck, kid, but most members of society aren't exactly what I would call 'functional'."

[baruthumos]

Omega rolls his eyes. "I'm not responsible for them," he says. "I am responsible for Sigma."

[alphawho]

"No, you're not?" What the hell, this is just getting weird.

[baruthumos]

"Don't make me go home and get the paperwork," Omega threatens. Why doesn't Church get that Omega is?

[alphawho]

"What, did you go and adopt your own brother?" That would be hella creepy. And also not the point. "Is he or is he not an adult?"

I don't pretend this math is even close.

[baruthumos]

"Of course I did," Omega says. "When I threw Price out, he was only fourteen."

He had adopted them all. Luckily nobody had looked too closely at the paperwork. An eighteen year old stockboy taking care of five brothers between six and sixteen shouldn't pass the smell test.

[alphawho]

"Okay, creepy. Aaaaand as for the second question of adult status which would render him no longer under your mommy control?"

[baruthumos]

"What? How is that ... somebody had to be the legal guardian! And it's my job to protect them! My older brother was very clear on that point!"

[alphawho]

"I think they call this empty nest syndrome. Feeling obsolete because all the kiddies are growing up and leaving home?"

[baruthumos]

"What? I wish I was obsolete!" Has this guy been paying any attention? "Did you miss where four of them are still minors and the other two I couldn't pry out with a crowbar?"

[alphawho]

"Thennnn I'm completely stumped as to why you're being a hardass about Sigma, dude."

[baruthumos]

Omega does not bang his head on the bar. This is the rare situation where giving himself a concussion won't help. "I explained it to you. Think real hard."

[alphawho]

"Oh no," he says in a completely flat voice. "He doesn't vacuum as much as you want. What a disaster. Truly, the end times are here."

[baruthumos]

"If you're going to be like that, I don't see why I should even try to talk to you," Omega sulks. "He's a fucking child playing house with York on Tex's dime."

[alphawho]

"It's okay to let go, you know. Relax the iron grip and deal with the ones still living with you."

[baruthumos]

Omega stares at him like he's speaking Chinese. "But he's my brother! And I don't know what to do with my problem child. Nothing I try works and I'm always the bad guy in the end."

[alphawho]

"Your brother that's living away from home now! So you need to learn how to back off and give him space to live his own fucking life without you breathing down his neck."

[baruthumos]

"I am!" Omega insists. "I leave him alone except when everything goes to hell! Or did you miss the Felix mess?"

[alphawho]

"If you leave him alone and don't smother him, then what are we even arguing about??"

[baruthumos]

"That the only other part of our family that tried to live alone couldn't hack it and now is living with York."

If Church somehow missed how much Omega hates that man, the way he says his name should make it

[alphawho]

"Annnnnd you've got a grudge against Keys why?"

[baruthumos]

"How do you want the list? Chronological or alphabetical?" Omega asks. "He has symmetrical ears of sexual attraction that make people weird when he's involved. Me and Tex are the only ones immune. It's a little creepy."

[alphawho]

"His...ears make people be into him?"

[baruthumos]

Omega shrugs. "I asked Epsilon why everyone was lining up to jump on his dick and that's what he said."

[alphawho]

"Aaaaaand you believed him when he said people want to fuck him for his ears?" Is Omega...the polar opposite of Delta? Is that what this is? Delta's all logical to a fault, Omega is a nutcase?
