Sibling Rivalry.
To most families its normal when siblings fight.
But to others its considered a problem.
To the Charlotte Family however, it can go both ways.
Because it can either be something small or some thing big.
But today, it was big.
So big that the triplet brothers had to get involved.
Both the girls and the boys of the decuplets got into an argument to a point that they had to use their scythes.
Yeah they use it all the time, but once the brothers entered and saw blood, they just knew they had to break it up.
Well, all except one of them.
Katakuri- "this is unacceptable behavior!"
Oven- "He's right! You could've killed each other!"
Daifuku- "You should've just let them work it out."
Katakuri- "Nani?!"
Daifuku- "They started it, so we shouldn't have gotten involved.."
Oven then went up to Daifuku, ready to throw his fist at him.
Oven- "Are you serious Daifuku?! Nutmeg was wounded in the argument, and you expect US to just sit back and do nothing?!"
Katakuri- "If we hadn't stopped the fight, another one of our sisters would've gotten slashed as well."
Oven- "You see! We can't just sit back and let them sort it out, they've already done so much damage!!"
Daifuku- "I still don't see why we stopped them..."
Oven- "Why you little-!"
Oven then went up to grab a fistful of Daifuku's coat and pulled him towards him.
Oven- "If it were our sister's life at stake, you would still do nothing?!"
Daifuku- "Hmm? If she died in the hands of our brothers, then that's their mistake to grieve on, not ours."
Katakuri- "Daifuku...are you serious?'
Daifuku- "They are old enough to handle their own situations.."
Oven- "But that's not the point!!"
Daifuku- "Then what is? That you two will continue to argue with me over something this small until i decide you have a point?"
Katakuri- "You call a sword fight something small?!"
Daifuku- "If one of them had their heads slashed open, then that's where we should draw the line.."
Oven-"You son of a-! I WISHED I DIDN'T HAVE SUCH AN ARROGANT BASTARD FOR A BROTHER!!"
Daifuku's smile vanished in an instant.
He didn't know what got into him, but those hurts made his chest hurt.
He has been insulted many times by his brother but nit once did they hit him like a truck.
He felt his lip quiver a bit as he felt tears forming in his eyes.
Before he could let them show, he pushed Oven away and ran out the door.
Katakuri- "Daifuku! Daifuku wait!"
Too late.
Daifuku had made his way out before any of the brothers could get to him.
_________________
Its been a few weeks since that day and Daifuku has been ignoring Oven.
If Daifuku needed to ask Oven about a mission he would have one of his crew members ask him.
And each time that happened it drove Oven absolutely mad.
So he said something he probably shouldn't but big deal?
Its Daifuku's fault that he pushed Oven's anger to an extend.
So why is he the one being punished for it?
Deciding that enough was enough, Oven made his way over to Poripori Island to settle this once and for all.
Katakuri advised Oven against it, saying that he needs to let Daifuku come to him first but he answered with a 'LIKE HELL I WILL.'
Oven marched over to Daifuku's main gate and just let himself in by melting the door with his Devil Fruit power.
"Um Sir Oven? You shouldn't disturb Sir Daifuku!"
Oven- "Go to hell! If you get in my way, I'll turn you into fondue!"
Oven pushed passed Daifuku's guards until he was in front of his door.
*BANG BANG BANG*
Oven- "Daifuku you arrogant bastard, open up!"
.................
Oven then banged on the door 3 more times.
*BANG BANG BANG*
Oven- "I said open up you bastard!!"
"......Go away.."
Oven was caught off guard when he heard Daifuku's voice crack."
Was he crying?
Had he been crying these past few weeks?
Had his words hurt him that much??
Oven then tried to open the door but cursed to find it locked.
Oven- "Daifuku open up, please? I want to make sure you're okay!"
Oven's voice was loud but filled with sorrow.
After a few seconds the door opened a crack, just enough for Daifuku to peek out of it.
Daifuku- "What do you want?..."
Oven clenched his fist as he gathered the courage to say his apologies without breaking down.
But he was failing.
Oh so failing.
Oven- "I didn't mean to call you all those names...and I'm sorry for causing you so much pain...I'M SORRY!!"
Oven couldn't hold back his tears and in an instant, he was already sobbing in front of his brother.
In an instant Daifuku opened the door to pull Oven in and closed the door after him, locking it as well.
Daifuku- "No! I'm the one who should apologize! I knew Nutmeg was hurt really bad but I tried to be strong!"
Oven- "Its okay to be worried you sick bastard!"
Daifuku- "I wasn't worried, I was scared for her! That slash she took could've ended her life!"
Oven- "That's why we stopped the fight you Baka!!"
While still sobbing uncontrollably, the 2 brothers embraced each other and let their feelings pour out.
Daifuku- "I'm sorry! I'll try to be more understanding! But its too hard sometimes!"
Oven- "Imagine how I feel?! And here I thought I was going to have to plunge my fist in you!"
Daifuku- "You should've, maybe it would've knocked some sense into me!!"
The 2 brothers continued to cry in each other's arms for about an hour until they pulled back, no longer crying but sniffling.
Oven- "...So...*sniff*..are we cool?"
Daifuku- "Yeah...I'm not upset anymore.."
Oven- "Good...*Sniff*.."
Oven then wiped his tears off of his eyes and fixed himself.
Oven- "Then we weren't just crying in each other's arms.."
Daifuku- "Nope..it never happened.."
Oven- "Good..because if anyone else finds out, I'll kill you."
Daifuku- "Likewise.."
