Chapter Text
Pete worked with M.C.R.F. (Magical containment (and) research facility) for almost two years now. He didn't want to, of course, the way they treated their prisoners like garbage was inhumane!
But it wasn't really like he had a choice... they had his brother after all... and if he didn't obey... he didn't want to think about it... It was weird... Pete's brother wasn't even born a creature! He got cursed when he was twenty years old! It wasn't fair that he would be locked up and treated like an animal! There were so many humanoids that were treated like beasts... that's just... weird...
And one of the worst things was that they didn't even let Pete see his brother every day, instead of putting him with humanoid mammals, they put him with the fucking sea creatures! And let me tell you: taking care of a kraken all day is not fun! Ya know, really, he wanted to meet a siren, he always had some kind of fascination or something with them, and like, he knew they existed cause he'd seen some before but of course... they put him with the fucking kraken... Yay...
Pete went to Ted, it was Saturday, the only they'd let him see him... God he loved Saturday, they'd talk for hours, at least... Pete talked for hours... Ted would stare into nothingness, and sometimes make some sex jokes. The curse had broken him... he was nothing but a shell of the man that he once was... but he was still his brother... and he still loved him, all of him: his stupid sex jokes, his extremely ugly tie, and his stupid bright yellow goat legs, every single part that made him him...
And then the visitor's hours would end, and Pete would walk back to his room... waiting for one more week 'till he could be happy again...
Little did he know happiness would come so much sooner...
