Travis and Memphis, closed
Travis was waiting in the apartment when Memphis got home. He had his phone next to him and an open book on his lap as he sat on the couch half heartedly watching cartoons.
"Hey Memphis. It's almost the end of the school year, and my drivers education class is nearly over..." He started, hesitantly.
Memphis paused in taking off his boots. He looked skeptically at his brother. "Yes?"
"Well, the other day when we went to the mall" he continued, fidgeting with the pages in the book, "we took a detour and signed up for road tests. I started dinner too. Hopefully you don't mind spaghetti."
Memphis let out a deep breath. He'd sorta seen this one coming. Travis had been bugging him on a frequent basis to drive Lucy and he'd mentioned a time or two about the want to drive to prom. So it was only a matter of time for him to drop this bombshell. Memphis shrugged. "I guess that means you're in need of a car to use for this test?"
Travis had expected there to be yelling. That had been the primary reason to offer dinner as a substitute. He'd done something that had been partially expected and fully undermined in return for something that he usually did. Somehow it had made sense at the time, but not anymore. "Our instructor said we could use the drivers ed car, but you still hafta go with me and all. Legal guardian junk even though I'm over eighteen. Simply because I don't already have my license."
Memphis grumbled and fought back the urge to stomp his feet and pout. He didn't wanna go for a road test. He'd barely survived his own and that had been forever ago. "Fine" he grumbled out between pursed lips. "When is it and when do we have to be there."
Travis was up and halfway to the kitchen. "The 28th. We have to be there at nine in the morning."
Memphis pressed his palms to his eyes and groaned loudly. "Thats in seven days!" He shouted as he pulled his boots back on. He needed to go somewhere... On a walk maybe. "I'll be back later." Came the gruff voice a few minutes before the slam of the door.
