"Dagi..." Sonata whined loudly, slumping her shoulders and following her eldest sister, Adagio, around their small apartment.
"I told you already! if you're bored, go do something!" exclaimed said sister, throwing her arms up in annoyance, attempting to rid herself of Sonata.
"But there's nothing to do!" Sonata complained.
"Then just, go- go watch your stupid cartoons or whatever on the computer!" Adagio snapped, glaring horribly at Sonata, who then crossed her arms and pouted in defeat, before stomping off to her room, where the computer the three sirens shared resided at the moment.
"Finally!" Adagio breathed quietly, returning to her routine. She planned to try and do a bit of laundry, then eat something, but when she had just barely started, she heard her other sister's raspy voice shouting to her from the living room/kitchen area.
"Adagio, we're out of food!" Adagio rolled her eyes at her sisters choice of words, wishing she would speak more accurately, they weren't really out of food, just low on things Aria wanted to eat.
"Then go shopping!" she bellowed back, hoping this would either subdue Aria, or that she wouldn't be able to come up with a decent comeback and would stay quiet. Either way, it worked, she was quiet, and a few moments later, she heard the door snap shut, a sign Aria had just left to go shopping.
Once Adagio had finished with the laundry, she went to check on sonata instead of eating, to make sure the idiot hadn't started a fire or accidentally choked herself with a computer wire or something while she was upset. As she entered Sonata's room, not bothering to knock, she was slightly puzzled, she was used to seeing Sonata watching these stupid cartoons about friendship and sharing and that kind of B.S., but instead saw her staring quite intensely at a video of someone playing a video game, the game in question looked like a F.P.S. Adagio didn't know which one, but judging by the person playing's language, she'd have guessed C.O.D. She left without speaking to her sister, having nothing to say, and instead went into the kitchen-ish area of the small apartment they resided in and poured herself a cold cup of coffee which she immediately warmed in the microwave. She didn't bother to put anything in it, besides a little cinnamon. She sat in a chair and began to read a book she had already finished, flipping through the pages to find an interesting part, and settled down for a while.
"Sup, biaches!" yelled Aria comically as she literally kicked the door in, effectively startling Adagio, and judging by the thump and the loud exclamation of "ow! son of a biscuit!" she had also startled Sonata off her chair.
"What is your problem!?" Adagio said angrily, wiping her shirt, attempting to clean off the last bit of her coffee, which had now gone cold.
"you are." Aria said, looking quite smug despite it not being a very good comeback. "get over here, Sonata!" she then yelled, and soon after Sonata was seen coming down the hall, rubbing her backside painfully.
"what do you want?" she said, annoyed by being interrupted in the middle of a video.
"I want you to help us put away the groceries I got, obviously, idiot" Aria said, beginning to put a jar of strawberry jelly in the fridge.
"I'm not a idiot!" Sonata declared defiantly.
"Whatever you are, start putting away whatever's in that bag" Adagio said, arranging frozen meals precariously in the freezer, the stacked boxes looking like someone had been playing tetras with their dinners. Sonata grumbled and did as she was told.
That night, after a dinner of hastily thrown together pasta, Aria decided to pick a fight with Sonata, as she was feeling bored.
"I am not stupid!" Sonata yelled angrily at her pony-tailed adversary.
"Agree to disagree!" Aria shot back, flashing a lopsided grin at Sonata, enraging her further.
"What does that even mean!" Sonata was practically screaming now, she punctuated the last word with a swing of her fist, she narrowly missed Aria's eye, and almost hit Adagio when she went to intervene.
"Shut up! Shut up both of you!" Adagio barked, grabbing hold of Sonata's wrists and holding them down, preventing further attacks.
"She's being mean to me!" Sonata cried, her face contorting slightly, as she struggled to keep her face looking angry. Aria merely smirked, crossing her arms and leaning her hips to the side. "she's always mean to me!" Sonata continued, fighting back tears in her eyes. Adagio shot a look at Aria that said: "great job, asshole" and Aria left, feeling satisfied with her self, and shut her bedroom door behind her.
"calm down" Adagio said, annoyance lining her sisterly tone, as she lead Sonata back to her room. She then returned to her own bed and promptly fell asleep.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Adagio heard someone scream, she thought of who it could be, and, several moments later, she realized it was Sonata. But, that didn't make any sense! just yesterday sonata said "son of a biscuit". Adagio continued to wrack her brains for reasons as to why her youngest and most childish sister would scream that, 'okay, reason one: Aria somehow influenced her, but I doubt that after so many failed attempts she'd be so successful suddenly. Reason number two: Sonata has begun to sleep fight again. But I doubt that as well, we resolved that pretty well, so why would she be-?" But Adagio couldn't finish her thought, because Aria had burst into her room, hair tangled, and makeup-free, with a look of angry annoyance on her face - well, more angry annoyance then usual -.
"You. Have got. To shut her up. Now." she hissed fiercely, pointing out Adagio's bedroom door and in the general direction of Sonata's bedroom. "She's been screaming all night, Adagio. All. Fucking. Night.". her sister now wore a crazed expression that was so unfitting for this cool, laid back, siren that it was all Adagio could do to keep a straight face.
"She has?" Adagio puzzled.
"ugh. of course you wouldn't notice, you sleep about as lightly as a sack of potatoes!" Adagio was slightly offended by this remark, but bit her tongue for a moment to restrain herself from shooting a comeback right at Aria's immature face, then said through gritted teeth:
"Then go and ask her to stop" Adagio took one look at her sister's face and knew her attempts to salvage what was left of her once-peaceful morning were fruitless.
"What do you think I've been doing all this time!?" Aria yelled, sending a drop of anger-filled spit at Adagio's face, hitting her in the cheek. Adagio wiped it off calmly and stood, her sister looking anxious, and said, with the maturity of a mother who has learned to deal with six children;
"get the hell out of my room! out! out! OUT!" She punctuated every "out" with a hearty shove, so that by the end of her yelling Aria was back in the hallway. She then face planted onto her pillow, and muttered to no one in particular: "why, out of all the people I could have been exiled with, why did it have to be those two?".
. . .
Despite the ruckus of the morning, the rest of the day was relatively calm, the only disturbances were when Aria's music would beat-drop, and startle Adagio, or when she would hear brief exclamations of "WHAT THE SHIT!?" and "FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE!" from Sonata, Adagio wondered briefly what she was up to, but dismissed the thought, as long as she stayed out of her way, Adagio didn't really care what was going on. Until dinner, that is.
Adagio was just sitting down at the table to eat her meal, expecting Aria to show up soon and join her, when Sonata came bursting in, singing a song that was, as Adagio would have guessed the younger people on twitter would have called it 'cringey'.
"SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS GONNA RULE ME-" Sonata belted at the top of her lungs. out of the three sirens Sonata's natural singing voice wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad when she tried. however, right now, she wasn't trying very hard, so her song was quickly interrupted by,
"DEAR GOD SONATA, SHUT THE HELL UP!" Aria stormed into the room, shoving Sonata as she passed, and plopped down in the chair opposite of Adagio.
"Ugh, Aria, why you so salty?" Sonata's sisters just stared at her, confused, until Adagio spoke up,
"Sonata, what have you been doing in your room all day?" her voice was calm and slow, as if she were talking to a dangerous psychiatry patient.
"I started a YouTube channel!" Sonata replied proudly. Aria seemed to be struggling with something, and Adagio said, still in her collected voice,
"What kind of YouTube channel?" The way she spoke suggested she was asking her 'what kind of poison did you put in my drink?'.
"a gaming channel!" Sonata replied. At these words, Aria lost the struggle she seemed to have been having and burst out in a fit of laughter.
"You? you!? what- what- what kind of games do you play!?" Aria stuttered as she tried to catch her breath, gripping the table for support "Freddy fish!?" she succumbed to another fit of laughter, as Sonata grew slightly red.
"no! I've been playing call of duty!" Aria stopped laughing and looked confused, Adagio looked like she wanted to say something but she couldn't find the right words.
"where did you get an Xbox?" Aria finally said.
"I... I found one at the thrift store, it was pretty beatin' up, so I got it with my personal money" Sonata said with an air of finality. the rest of the night passed in silence, except for Sonata mumbling something about love and life.
After dinner, the three sirens went to their rooms, and fell asleep. the night passed without any more complications.
