A young man, almost taller than Spring, leans against the doorframe. 

"Hello, brother." he greets. His accent was strongly Canadian, like he had just walked down from the north.

His pure, glowing purple eye sweeps over Spring. The left half of his face was covered by a sheet of black metal wrapping around his head and held up with black straps. His messy golden hair curls away from the mask. When he smiled, it was clear to tell his two front teeth were larger than the rest.

"Glitch." Spring returns, furiously glaring at his half brother. "I and my boyfriend need a place to stay for a while."

I shoot a glance at him. He was staying with me?

"Really?" he asked, clearly amused. "What would I get out of it?"

"I'll find a way to return the favor." Spring answers.

Glitch ponders this for a while, then smirks. "Anything for you, of course."

I could tell he was just dripping with sarcasm.

"Come on in." he says, stepping aside. "I would ask you to greet my husband, but he isn't here right now."

"Last I checked, you're still in high school." Spring replied. "I'll go get your bags, Goldie."

I nod and follow Glitch into the little house. Papers were scattered across the floor, a computer was open on a desk to what looked like a coding page, and perched on the edge of the desk was a framed picture of him and a Japanese man with neon blue hair streaked with lime green. 

I decided to try and get to know Glitch. "So, how old are you exactly?"

He shrugs, closing the computer. "I gave up counting a while ago. My best guess is eighteen."

"And you're married?" I ask.

He smiles at that. "Oh, of course. I met Error when I was flying to Japan for a meeting with the CEO of the company I work with. We quickly fell in love and got married. Then we moved back here. He went back to Japan to visit with his family."

Spring came back in with the bags.

"So where are we staying?" Spring asked.

"I have a spare room the two of you can share. Other than that, my house is free game." He turns to leave, but not before growling, "Stay out of my room."

Spring sighs and goes in search of the spare room.

Will you look at that, two chapters in a day. I hope y'all are happy because it probably won't happen again. I may or may not make a side story centered around Glitch. Comment below if you want one!
