Context: Erik's been your friend for a few years now, even if he isn't always the best... He does have a strange older brother named Roderic that largely keeps to himself, but he does seem to always make time to say hello to you. Your old friend might ignore you, now, even be a bit cruel, but something is up with his older brother. You just wish you knew what.

Setting: Erik's Home

[E] = Erik, an old friend

[R] = Roderic, Erik's strange older brother

[Scene opens outside of Erik’s home]

[SFX: A doorbell ringing]

[You’re outside of your friend’s house late at night, holding a few grocery bags of supplies. It’s the dead of winter and your body shivers involuntarily]

[E] “One sec! Yo, did you wear all white?”

[...]

[E] “See? I told you that the store owner wouldn’t let you buy the beer without being in all white!”

[Pause!]

[E] “Hey, I don’t make the rules! Alright, step back, gonna open the door now!”

[SFX: The Listener taking a few steps back/winter wind]

[Erik opens the door and you’re surprised to see some of your other friends behind him]

[Pause?]

[E] “Is this a surprise party? Well, it’s definitely a surprise!”

[SFX: Water sloshing all over the Listener]

[You jump and yelp as water spills all over you. The bucket topples down from the second story of the house and you hear another friend laugh from up there]

[E] “I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR IT! ‘DRESS ALL IN WHITE OTHERWISE THE SHOP OWNER WON’T SELL YOU BEER’?! PFAAHAHAHAHA!!!”

[The group erupts into laughter while you stand shaking in diseblief]

[...]

[E] “Oh man, that was so worth the setup! Yo, get a picture quick before Roderic comes down to ruin all the fun!”

[SFX: Pictures being taken]

[You’re frozen on the spot as they laugh at you. Mock you. Soaked through in the winter cold, all in white]

[E] “PLEASE tell me someone is recording this!”

[A quiet voice cuts from the back and the laughing immediately stops]

[R] “...What are you all doing.”

[Erik turns pale, the air in him almost leaving involuntarily, as Roderic towers over him and his crew]

[E] “...R-Roderic-”.

[R] “What.”

[Erik gasps, as do the rest]

[R] “Are.”

[Again. They flinch]

[R] “You.”

[E, near frantic] “R-Roderic, please!”

[R] “Doing.”

[There is a brief panic before all involved just shuffle in mute horror into the living room]

[E, pleading] “Roderic, please, it was just a little prank!”

[R] “Pranks are pranks when both parties can laugh about it, Erik. Now go sit in the living room with the rest of your little hoodlum friends while I take care of our poor friend here, hm?”

[Erik shoots you a desperate look before he marches away and Roderic approaches you]

[P-Pause…?]

[R, sympathetic] “Oh, sweetheart, you did nothing wrong… Please, come with me. Let’s get you in dry clothes and your hair dried.”

[SFX: Footsteps heading upstairs and a door opening and closing]

[Roderic leads you gently upstairs and into his room. It’s been a while since you’ve seen it… but it’s no less morbid]

[P-Pause]

[R] “I, ah… n-need you to undress, if you’re comfortable… I’ll go and have a chat with my b-brother while you do that and warm up in the towel.”

[You do so and he quickly gets a large, fluffy towel around you]

[Pause]

[R] “There we go… I-I did my best not to look, sorry. I-I’ll be back in a moment…”

[Pause…]

[You sit, holding the towel around you and shaking as he stalks away, fists clenched]

[Time Passes - 30 minutes]

[After about 30 mins, Roderic walks back in, calm as anything. A few bruises on his arms but he otherwise seems his normal self]

[R] “Th-Thank you for waiting… It was a g-good chat, I think. Now, H-How’s about we get your hair dried?”

[Pause]

[SFX: The blow dryer kicking up]

[He holds you like you’re porcelain, running his fingers through your wet hair as he blow dries it]

[SFX: Very soft blow dryer noises, from time to time]

[R] “...I am… sorry for my brother’s cruelty…”

[...]

[R] “You d-didn’t deserve it… Forgive my tic, I get slight jolts in my neck, from time to time.”

[...Pause]

[He pauses, breath a touch raspy]

[R] “...Am I… OK?”

[Pause?]

[He struggles, gawping silently]

[R] “...No. I am not… My brother h-harmed someone that I care for. Greatly… Wholly.”

[...Pause?]

[If you didn’t know better, you’d say he giggled a little]

[R] “Hmhmhm…. Yes. You, silly dove.”

[...]

[R] “...Are you scared…?”

[Pause]

[R] “Confused… Y-Yes, that is fair. We do not interact as often as you think we do. You may have noticed I am… a bit strange, in many ways. I am quiet, keep to myself, have a horrible temper I must battle at every turn, fixations that can drive me to manias… and I am so, so, so, so very protective and possessive of the things I love…”

[He continues to get you cleaned up. From what you can tell, he’s trying his hardest not to sneak peeks at you. Trying]

[Pause?]

[R] “Why you…? You jest. Surely? You are radiant. Everything you do is so… charming, to me. And you are the only person, besides my parents, to treat me like a person and not a monster. You may not understa-and all of my quirks, but you still respect me and do your best to learn how to accommodate me. When Erik said he was inviting you over, for the first time in ages, I-I… I got excited. Smiled.”

[Pause <3]

[He smiles. It’s only slightly deranged]

“...You like spending time with me, too?”

[Pause!]

[R] “...That ma-akes me… happy. And happier that I broke Erik’s nose and locked him and his little crew in the basement.”

[...?]

[R, almost gasping] “Am I going to hurt them?”

[Pause…?]

[R] “...No. But I have to teach them a lesson. I can’t let it go unpunished.”

[Pause?]

[R] “Oh, you’re so… innocent. Why? W-Well, I am the big brother, Sweetling. As such, it is my responsibility that Erik grows to become a good man, seeing how our parents favor him so. To be a good person, you often have to suffer through harsh lessons… I know you have.”

[...]

[SFX: The blow dryer being used for the last time and then set down]

[R] “There… Your hair is all dry, and my t-shirt is pretty much a nightgown on you. Here, get under the covers and warm up in my bed.”

[SFX: Bedding being moved/handled]

[R, gently] “There you go, there you go… Nice and tucked i-in.”

[Pause <3]

[He smiles gently. It’s the first time you’ve noticed that his canines are a bit sharper than normal]

[R] “Y-You’re welcome, dearest…”

[...Pause?]

[He pauses, tongue caressing a fang idly]

[R] “Why are my teeth s-so sharp? Haha… So cute… Rest now, my sweet little bed buddy. I need to go and educate my brother and his friends on how they are to treat you moving forward. T-Then, I’ll come to check on you…”

[He pauses, a hunger in his eyes burning]

[...P-Pause?]

[R] “Lie down with you…? Cu-uddle together? Oh… Yes, I’d very much so like that, my sweet…”

[He gives your forehead a little peck before turning and leaving you in his room, curled tightly under the blanket. Just before he shuts the door behind him, Roderic murmurs an almost bashful:]

[R] “Night night, P-Perfection.”

[SFX: A door shutting gently and locking]

[To be continued]
