Devan: 19 years old

Setting: The Key Household
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Collins started working on editing a newest Youtube video him and Devan had finished recording just an two hours ago. He was so excited to post this for his keypers. The idea for a try not to laugh challenge was brilliant and they both loved reacting to all the funny videos! The older brother worked hastily on the cutting, pasting and adding different effects into the project. It was about 7:30 but the magician was so exhausted! He couldn't wait to curl up into his snug bed...

Collins yawned, trying to push away his sleepiness. It didn't work. The young man felt himself start to doze off into a deep slumber on his desk. He rested his head comfortably on his arm and began to fall fast asleep. He faintly heard the door creak open behind him, but paid no mind to it.

Devan opened to door quietly to see his older brother laying with his head in his arms, out cold on the table. He couldn't help but smirk. Collins had been up late last night figuring out video ideas for today, and on top of that going all out during the actual production. He must be pooped..

The younger one walked towards Collins's bed, picking up one of his fuzzy blankets and went over and wrapped his brother's body with it to keep him warm. He patted his older bro's back, "Get's some rest, big boy. You've been working hard, you deserve a nap." Then he walked over to the door, snapping off the light switch, and closed the door silently.

The next day, the boys began to prepare their own peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They were super hungry to have some lunch, and since their parents both went to work and won't be back for hours, the boys had to fend for food themselves.

"Bro, where's the jelly??" Devan asked, searching the refrigerator frantically. The little one LOVES jelly on his PB&J. Without it, what would it be? A peanut butter sandwich? He HAD to find it! Collins answered calmly spreading the creamy paste across his bread, "It's in the pantry." The younger brother turned around with slight confusion, "The pantry?" Collins peered at him looking at the cupboard, "Yeah, isn't that where you always put it?"

Devan walked over to the wooden counter and searched for the jelly, "No! It's supposed to go in the fridge. Now it's gonna be room temperature!" Collins looked dumbfounded, holding in his snorts, "Room temperature?" The other growled grabbing the glass container with pictures of strawberries circling around it, "Ugh, you don't know? You're such a blonde, Collins!"

The boy stepped towards his bread and went to grab his knife to spread the jam, and suddenly he and his brother burst out in laughter. They couldn't hold themselves together trying to be serious about something so stupid! The two held their stomachs, unable to continue putting their lunches together. Devan and Collins rarely get mad at each other, especially over unrefrigerated jelly. That was so elementary school.. Collins began to wipe his teary eyes and Devan tried catching his breath and the brothers smiled as they continued to make their sandwiches.

Collins and Devan walked out of the kitchen, holding their plates of PB&J, towards the older brother's room. They couldn't wait to check out the likes and comments they got from their video, largely Collins. The boy had been working so hard to make the YouTube video super hilarious for his keypers and he was wondering what other fun videos they wanted to see next.

Devan opened the door and let his brother walk by him to go login into his computer, "How many likes do you think we have right now on the video?" Collins answered focusing on typing in his password, "Maybe 3k but all I want to know is how much the keypers enjoyed it." Devan agreed biting into his sandwich, "I was thinking we should do a pancake art video sometime. Have you seen those trending? It'd be so cool to try out." Collins rolled his eyes playfully, "Oh yeah, so you can show off your art skills and I can look like an idiot?" The other shrugged, "I was thinking more on the lines that we can eat afterwards."

They both pulled up the video to see that the it only got 2.75k but they were still enthusiastic about it. Devan grabbed the mouse, scrolling down, "I wanna see the comments." Collins also scanned the keyper messages;

Hillarylovespuppies: Omg this is hilarious!

Keyper4life: Devan is so cutee!!❤️

CollinsandDevan2: Haha did you see 2:35?!

GuardianDragon790: Why can't I meet Devan Key?!

Natilie222: Devans so HOTTTT😍😍😍

Collins smiled as he read the things the keypers said, also the ones of Devan. He was happy that everyone loved having Devan in the videos as much as he did. Collins looked over at his brother, who paid less mind to those comments but what looked like something else.. The blonde one followed his gaze and saw something he hadn't seen;

CreepyPasta34: I'm just trying not to laugh at Collin's ugly face XP

He didn't even recognize that the user spelled his name wrong. Collins felt a pit in his stomach. He knew there were people like this online who wouldn't like him, but with a response like this? Devan placed a hand on his shoulder, frowning at the screen, "Don't worry about that. People just like to create chaos." Collins nodded logging off the computer, "You're right." Was he?

{Time Skip}

Two days later, the brother's had practically forgotten about the weird comment on youtube and were just chilling on the sofa in front of the TV. Collins stared at the screen feeling bored out of his mind. It was just another repeat of Family Guy, one that he's seen at least 10 times that week. He glanced at his brother who was on his phone texting or maybe snapchatting someone. Devan swiftly moved his fingers across the keypad of his IPhone7. Mindlessly, the older one asked the boy, "Who you texting?"

Devan glanced at him, and with a straight look he says, "Veronica." Collins felt his face quickly burn up. The younger one looked back at his phone continuing to type on the glass, "We've been texting on and off lately. Ya know..talking about how much you LOVE her." Collins has had a secret crush on Veronica Merrell, sister's with Vanessa. They were one of the most loved twin pairs on Youtube, and Collins couldn't help catch feelings for one of them this past month. He's mentioned many times about having feelings for someone in his videos, but the only one who knew was his little brother. And when the magician heard that the younger one was texting her, he couldn't help but be flustered.

Devan finally made a cheesy grin at his brother as Collins grew nervous. The eldest said with a stutter, tensing up, "You guys aren't talking about that!" Devan smirked wiggling his eyebrows, "How would you know? You aren't the one holding the phone."

Collins lunged his arm out to grab him but Devan jumped up off the couch in time. The older one grunted, "Get back here!" The younger key ran out the front door as the lankier one chased him. Devan felt himself laugh as he ran, having a lot of fun with this. He wasn't fast enough however, as he felt an arm wrap around his waist and pick him up. The boy yelped causing himself to laugh harder, releasing grip of his phone. Collins made his move and yanked the device out of his brother's hands. As the taller one grabbed it breathing lightly, and saw something that made him pause, "Wait, you were texting mom!" Devan started cackling with a smug grin on his face, "I got you!"

Collins laughed, "I'll get you back Devan. One of these days!" Devan sighed looking up at the sky. His crystal blue eyes shimmered as he thought of an idea, "Hey bro." The older key asked, "Yeah?" The shorter one suggested with a smile, "Wanna take a picture for insta?" Collins grinned as he thought about the idea, "Let's do it!" Devan pulled up instagram and Collins walked over to him. They tilted their head up at the phone as the younger one pulled up the camera and they made their pose;

{Guys...I know this is from Snapchat. Work with me and come on they're so hot in this pic!! 😍😍😍 Okay ill stop sorry..}

They pulled away, reviewing the results with a smile. Collins asked looking at the picture, "Bro, I know you usually don't smile in pictures, but why don't you?" Devan looked up at him, unsure to speak his mind, and then back at the picture. He shrugged, "..I don't know." The older one left it at that to not step in unwanted territory, "Okay, bro, can you send that to me so I can post it?"

{Small Time Skip}

Later, Collins was chilling out for a little bit in his bedroom, munching on a bag of cheese puffs for his snack. Devan was downstairs playing a video game, one that Collins was too tired with to join right now. What he wanted to do was check out his instagram. He pulled out his blue cased phone and clicked on the app. As he popped on the main screen, the young boy received a couple of messages. Curious, Collins looked at his notifications to see a unbelievable sight;

@CreepyPasta34: Hmmm.. interesting picture. Devan looks great up there, but Collin looks like white trash out of place :/
56 Likes

~@Shmity2002: I agree! Devan's so hot but Collins is okay
~@Ilovedev: OMG DEVAN KEY IS SO HOT!
~@Devanisforever: Honestly Devan is way better looking than Collins, no offense.
~@PoppyWTF: Can we just crop Collins out? @DevanKey should be the center of this.

Collins felt his chest sag as he read the comments. Was this what they thought about him? A lump in his throat began to form, unable to understand what he was reading. Why did they only want Devan in the picture? It has always been them together. Did..did they like Devan more than him?

He shifted his eyes down the hallway hearing the younger one yell at the TV screen, his laugh echoing throughout the house. Collins furrowed his eyebrows. Looking at his phone again, the young man decided to dm the mysterious account. As he did so, he found it was private and whoever it was had only 167 followers. Not bothering with it, he starting to send the CreepyPasta a message;

@CollinsKey: What would you like me to do to make you like it?

Collins hit send and set his finger on the power button to shut his phone off. As he began to hold it down, the user had gave him an answer to his question. Collins stared at the message;

@CreepyPasta34: Disappear.

{Time Skip}

It had been days and the CreepyPasta continued to taunt Collins online. The person just responded with small little comments on his posts, causing Collins to lessen his media display. The blonde boy sat on his bed, hiding out in his room for a little bit, screwing around with his deck of cards. He let his thoughts escape his mind shuffling them 52 pack, but he was finding it hard to do. Weird..usually magic helped the young man relax. Why was it so hard now?

Suddenly, Collins's phone buzzed on the counter top beside him. He eyed it, hesitant: Someone tagged him on instagram. The boy set his cards down, reaching his arm over to grab his phone to check out the post. Collins took a quick breath feeling himself grow uneasy;

@CreepyPasta34: So glad that Collin ain't in the background...cause he honestly ruins everything he's in. #TBH @CollinsKey

Collins saw the likes on the photo: 86 Likes

Then the comments;

@VuttonMash77: I agree 100%
@Xtkkiji: I swear Collins can be so creepy, Devan is always perfect!
@CoreyBiggs: That's my boi! :)
@Gammer1999: OMGG DEVAN's So HOTT 😍😍😍❤️❤️
@YoutubeLoverr: Why can't Devan get a Youtube Account? I'd rather watch him than Collins tbh

Collins felt tears begin to rise, but tried fighting against them. The command failed. He let out a shaky sigh and droplets fell down his face. How could they all say that about him? They thought he was worthless? That Devan was better? Collins was the one who got his brother on the screen in the first place! Anger started to build in him as felt his teeth clench and tossed his phone across the room. WHY?

He heaved out feeling his hand form into a fist, the heart he owned hardened. Collins fell back onto his pillow wanting to just get rid of this. Before he could speak any thought, he heard his mother call, "Boys, time for supper!" Devan replied, a thumping sound coming from his bedroom, "Coming!" The older key sibling groaned, he didn't want to eat. The twenty one year old had no longing to see anyone. He decided to might as well go down the stairs with his family, they'd be questioning if he hadn't.

Collins slumped down the steps, watching as Devan laughed at some comment their dad spoke. The brother always loved his laugh..but right then, he despised it. Why was he so perfect, Collins asked himself, he can do no wrong. The older one tucked his hands into his jacket pockets and planted his body at the kitchen table. His mom smiled as he came over and sat down, "Hey sweetie! What would you like? Spaghetti and Meatballs? Or just the noodles and-"

"I'm not hungry," Collins answered without looking up with slight guff. Everyone froze at the sudden shock. Did he just cut off his mom? Stephen, his dad, raised an eyebrow, "Collins, watch your mouth." He just rolled his eyes, "Whatever." Devan didn't believe it. This isn't Collins.. Trying to change the subject, the younger one spoke, "Hey bro, I think for our next youtube video after the pancake art challenge we should-"

"I can handle it, Devan. I don't need your input," The older one said coldly. The younger one was distraught at the brother's response, "...What is up with you?" Collins stood up from the table escaping everything, to escape him, "Leave me be, Devan.." Devan got up as well getting frustrated, "No, this isn't you. Whatever is going on you can just tell us!" The older one persisted to go up the stairs. Why wouldn't he just leave him alone? Doesn't he know when to stop? He didn't, "Collins, just talk to us, to me!"

Collins snapped, "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Silence filled the room as his parents, his brother focused their eyes on him. The older one continued to seethe, "This is so like you, Devan! You don't know when to shut up and get out of people's business! I swear just get out of my life!" Devan's eyes went wide in fear. The older key looked different. His once piercing yet soft blue eyes grew icy, cold and enraged. His arms were tense, not like his gentle presence. It wasn't him..Collins stared him down once more before heading into his room and slamming it tightly.

Devan felt his own body begin to enrage. He didn't know why his brother screamed at him like that. However, the young one pushed it aside, not wanting to yell at Collins no matter what he said to him. Devan shifted his gaze behind him towards his mom and dad, they looked horrified. Collins never acted like this, something was wrong. Why was he doing this? Why?
