Bite From the Apple

Twice Defeated

Atlas threw himself onto one of the barstools eagerly next to you while your other two siblings spoke amongst the rest of the group.

The bartender peered over at his new customer as he was drying one of the glasses before setting it on the mat. "How can I help you?"

The group broke away from their conversation and looked over at their brother who was anxious to order a drink. "Uhh" Atlas was silent staring at the board of specials until a shot with an interesting name took his interest. "That one" he said pointing to the board grinning ear to ear.

The bartender rolled his eyes hearing the request while throwing the rag over his shoulder. "Alright, is this just for you or you all wanting one as well?"

You snickered as your two other brothers approached behind you sharing the reaction. "Oh yea I'm in." Adam resting his hand over his mouth trying to hold back his own chuckle.

The bartender took a collection of shot glasses from the shelf and lined them up, filling them with a white spirit before sliding them over. "And I give you...a blowjob" the man sighed before looking over at his manager on the other side of the bar behind him. "Do we really have to call it that?" He asked pleading for a possible name change.

"Suck it up and give them their blow jobs" the manager bellowed sticking his tongue out as he assisted his own customers in front of him.

With all of you chuckling at the name of the raunchy drink, you all took your shots in hand.

Adam threw his hand up with the shot in hand. "To our eternal love and new memories yet to come!" Your face turned red as your partner bellowed out his love ever so easily. Everyone including Tadashi and you, smiled and threw back your shots all at once slamming the empty glasses on the counter.

"Oh my god that's good-"

"I'm even better~" Adam growled in a low tone causing you to smack him on the back of his shoulder.

"It's very tropical-...I gotta get myself a blow job-" Atlas exclaimed before his realization. "That...came out wrong"

"Suuuure it did" the bartender looked over cocking a brow with a tuft of his hair bouncing over his eye.

"This is a pretty neat place...why have I not heard about it?"

"Well it's a place for those who love the sport to death but are also very laid back about it, along with the fact most here of course are legal to drink. Only very few who are under the age show up because of their cool enough." Adam said.

"I'm sure Reki and Langa would love this place...it's like a night club just for skaters. And these retro games here I haven't seen in so many years-"

Toril sprinted over towards one of the game machines after noticing one of his favorites was present against the wall.

"Oh boy...there he goes" Chef mumbled.

"Oooo they have Malibu here, I'll be right back!" You said as you skipped over towards the bartender grabbing his attention leaving Adam with your brothers and Tadashi.

"So...you really did it" Chef said partaking from his freshly made cocktail.

" I suppose I did, though it did actually take a bit out of me. I haven't sweated like that in quite a long time against an opponent....but I hope she's not upset with losing" Adam said with a sigh as Tadashi was babying his own cocktail with very few sips.

"Even in losing, she did win today with what was on the table. She may not display it much, but she does love you." Chef continued.

Toril came back with a big grin across his face and his drink in hand. "Boom new high score bitches!....what we talkin about"

"Adam here about our sis displaying affection" said Atlas.

"PFT our sis isn't good at showing love too much cause it was awkward for her after the bullying and such during her time at school. Her crush was brought up to the whole school and never was the same after that with loving people. With us it's a bit different but she always kept to herself in terms of love so I know she has trouble with it." Chef said.

"I'm sure you hoped for a bit more PDA or cutesy stuff from here didn't ya" Atlas snickered.

"I would...but I see why she isn't that way because of past events and that's alright. She'll warm up to it eventually." Adam admitted.

"Well you are her first real love, and I admit you're definitely something. So treat her right ok?" Toril said crossing his arms after setting his drink down.

"There's nothing I'd want more..." he said.

"She became even less affectionate to us after dad passed but we knew it was because of that and was a pretty good excuse. All of us dealt with it in our own ways. Chef here made countless plates of food to try and make her feel better while Toril straight up drowned himself in his work, sometimes not sleeping for days." Atlas said.

"So...you think she's ok losing the match?" Adam questioned.

The brothers all looked at each other and nodded their heads as if bonded by the same thought. "We know what and why it happened" Toril stated.

"What do you mean?..." the matador asked as he peered over Chef's shoulder looking over at you sipping your drink at the bar.

"She switched boards with you." Atlas blatantly said.

"Y-yea she did but that was just a trick to trip me up....wasn't it?..."

"She's capable of doing that yes...and switching boards isn't a problem with her...however she did it because there was a point in the race that she knew she wouldn't win after teaching you for so long...and she wanted to do this for quite some time and I guess she has her proper closure." Chef said.

"Closure?...what are you all talking about?..."

Toril sighed and looked at Adam in the eye holes of his mask. "She switched boards with you because she hoped her father would win"

"What do you-....ohhh...." Adam said realizing that the points where coming together.

".....the board carries our fathers ashes just like the old one did. Something she wanted to do ever since she showed potential for it, was to race our father in an all out beef and he happily agreed to it. However, when he passed, she never got that chance to race against him so she was broken up about it. She traded boards with you because if you won, it would've been her father passing the finish line as well. So technically she was defeated twice and she is completely alright with it." Chef stated.

"...wow...so this was a lot bigger than I imagined...well..that really makes me feel honored to ride it..."

"Consider yourself lucky cause she doesn't even let us ride that thing...well...the one before this one you gave her" Atlas huffed taking another gulp from his glass.
