Gladio from FF15 "Not on my ship." Comes to mind. Rinji is stuck with all brothers and sisters with Raiden the best friend. Those two are starting to slowly ignite the manor like fire and gun powder. What will take one of them to slow down? Akeno? You? Fire? A frying pan? Something else?

Enjoy.

~~~~~

It was late at night as the adults have gone to bed. The manor was quiet. Which on a weekday was given a six hour guaranteed window of all traffic in the household would come to a dead silence. Outside of the normal bathroom trip or glass of water. Disturbing the peace were two young boys going into the hallway. With the nightlights guiding their track the two met in the hallway. Then simply nodded as they jumped over the guardrail and hovered down. Already impersonating their favorite raccoon thief. (If you know this reference you are amazing.) In the kitchen they could speak freely.

Rinji shinedvthe flashlight over his face. "They asleep?"

"Yeah. I thought I would never get out of there. My Mom was reading." Replied Raiden.

"Waited twenty minutes?"

"If course."

"Alright then Raiden. Pick a color."

"Red. You?"

"Black."

"That's settled. I have to find a red pair of underwear from your mom. And you find a black one from mine. Has to be in drawer. Not a laundry basket."

"Rinji... why's would I want to do that? That sounds dirty. Like Uncle Issei naughty."

"Pop knows what's good. You going to chicken out or are we golden?"

Raiden feeling the peer pressure he nodded. "Fine. But what do we do next after? Head to bed?"

"After the panty raid then we try the girls."

"Steal your sister's after was the twins did to us? Come on."

"Would you steal Riko's?"

"No... I kinda don't want to steal Ravel's."

"Your Mom is hot."

"Yours is. Literally."

"I'm in a Devil of fiery, devious energy. So you read?"

"I guess Rinji..."

"Rock, paper, scissors goes first right?"

"Okay."

"Shoot." Both go rock.

"Shoot." Scissors beats paper. Rinji wins.

"Darn. That mean I go first?" Asked Raiden.

"Oh yeah. And if you get caught no snitching."

"Fine. But I think I will do better. You stay here while I go to work." With that he carefully takes flight up the stairs and tiptoed in the hallway. A creek could possibly wake someone. A wake could lead to a busted operation. As he inched closer he cracked the door open. Alright. Only one thing can get in my way. Ravel. I'm not going to like this. The boy got on the ground and crawled in. Having the darkness blend with his black hoodie and sweatpants. He's so in for it as he makes his way through the living room. Staying by the couches just in case somehow anyone came in. He was taking his sweet time as he made it to the master bedroom. Alright. Dresser. Opposite side of her side of the bed. Carefully turning the knob he pushed forward the door and quietly hit the deck. Staying down and nothing could be heard. Issei wasn't there and Ravel was out cold. As he crawled to the dresser he did a final check. Then got on one knee to open the drawer. Not looking he grabbed three pieces of fabric. Then crawled under the bed. He used his flashlight to check the colors. Though corruption was kicking in now. The little light shown a white pair with a red bow in front, a blue lace, and a red string. This is a panty? It looks like someone made a string outline and just forgot about it. Hey it counts. With getting what he came for, Raiden slowly put them back and shut the drawer. Then crawled out of the bedroom and the same route to the hallway. After a sigh of relief spread his wings and flew back towards the Rinji.

"What took you?"

"Paranoia... yeah. Got it." He held up his mother's underwear.

"Dude. Perv much." Rinji blushed. "Why?"

"First thing I saw. It counts."

"Fine my turn. Put those on your pocket."

"Alright... see ya."

Rinji being his cocky self did not know about the odds against him. As he took flight he wanted to challenge himself. Half the time. He took like twenty minutes. I can get it in ten. That's the goal. Let's get it.

Raiden sat in the kitchen and had himself a glass of water. He was so nervous that he was sweating. But he had a good amount of time to think. Did Mom lock her dresser? Hmmmm. Oh well. He'll be fine. Raiden let out a yawn and looked at the time. "Why?" He sighed to thin air.

He heard movement coming from the stairs. Thinking his friend failed he shook his head. I am so sorry.

"You can't sleep either?" Said a voice.

"Huh? Who's there?"

"It's me." Riko walked into the kitchen and went to the counter to grab a glass. "Guess you can't sleep either?"

"Actually Rinji dragged me out here."

"Really? I swear Cloud that the two of you are going to light the house on fire on day." Riko shook her head.

"Clouds make rain. Not fire. I would put it out."

"Oh c'mon. That a pun?"

"Of course not. Anyways what's Rinji really doing?"

"Well..."

"I'm waiting Cloud."

"Well Riko I think he's about to pull an epic fail. On what? I wish I knew."

~~~~~

Rinji thought he was pulling a secret agent. Not humming the action music but moving faster than he should be. All it was going to do was make noise. He opened the door to your apartment and left it open. Then tiptoed across the floor. But not quietly. He opened the door slowly but the creek was noticeable. You and your wife couldn't hear it which Rinji should thank his lucky stars. After waiting a minute to not seem too sketchy, he went to the dresser. Put a handle and pulled. A thud. What the heck? He tugged twice. Thud. Thud.

*Zing*

Aura's Storm gave the room light as you heard the noise. "What in the?"

"Crap." Rinji flinched.

"Boy! What the hell?"

"I can..."

"What are doing moving stuff in my bedroom boy?"

"I... uhhh..."

Akeno turned over. "Honey could you take this outside?"

"Right. Sorry. I'll handle this." You get out of bed and out a robe on. Time to handle business. You grab Rinji by the wrist. "You boy are going to the kitchen with me."

~~~~~

Meanwhile you and Riko are just trying to make conversation. Your son didn't tell anything about the panty raid at all. Just normal kid stuff.

"So Cloud what are you doing when you can't sleep usually?"

"Read a manga, a glass of water, wash my face with warm water, and try not to think too much."

Riko put a hand on his shoulder. "Raiden. You're sweating. Calm down."

"Trying?" He blushed.

"You okay? You seem off since my sister and I tackled you two."

"Well I..."

"You're blushing again."

"You see..."

"I said sit down." You order as you save your son from the embarassing conversation. Rinji takes a seat. You pace back and forth and turn the kitchen light on. The three kids have a hard time adjusting to the light. "Talk." You order.

"What?" Complained Rinji.

"What were you doing in my bedroom? Why most importantly banging the drawers of my wife's dresser?"

"A game." He replied.

"A game? Stealing?"

"I made a game with Raiden."

You turn your head as your son faceplants into the table. "Riko? Please head back to your room."

"Sorry." She excused herself.

You watch her march up the stairs before you continue. "Sorry to call off your evening date. Now tell me. Why was Rinji in my bedroom and trying to raid your mother's drawers?"

"Well he wanted to play a game..." Raiden muttered.

"Stealing isn't a game. Out with it before your mother gives you a red ass from those spankings!"

"Okay. Okay. Rinji wanted to do a panty raid. It was a dare."

"A dare? A freaking dare? Enter someone's room and take something that isn't yours is a game? Bullshit! Rinji I cannot say for you because your mother and father are upstairs. Just do me a favor. Go back to bed and this is discussed in the morning."

"Yes Sir." He nodded.

Waiting until he's out of sight you take a seat. Not sure how I'll get to bed now. I'm fired up. "Raiden Cloud."

"Yes?" He answered.

"What did you do?" You asked calmly.

"I took a pair of panties from his mom's drawer."

"Give it to me."

"Alright Pops." He hands them over and you see the red string.

"Hell's fire..." You put them to the side. "So what did you do wrong? Want me to run down the list?"

"Stole?" He pondered.

"You are up way past curfew, entering people's rooms without permission, and stealing on top of that. Now, I will not save you next time. But guess who's handing these back tomorrow?"

"Mom?"

"Why would your mother give back Ravel's underwear?"

"You?"

"No way." You point at him.

"Really?"

"I'm damn serious boy. I don't know what this dare or whatever it was all about but I don't like it. Now. You are going straight to bed. I don't care if you stare at that ceiling for eight hours. You are hitting the mattress and not moving until you the sun is up. Got it?"

"Yes Dad. Does that mean I take those back?"

"I'll take them and you will hand it to Ravel when the time is right."

"I'm sorry? Our son is giving Blondie what now?" Akeno walked in.

"Akeno. Uhhhh... what are you doing out of bed?"

"It's come to my attention Rinji went back to his room and apologised on my way out. He didn't say what for. Speak up." She was tapping her foot waiting.

"Our son and him were going on a panty raid."

"So why is that red sexy pair on the table?"

"Our son is giving them back and giving a sincere apology. And Rinji didn't know your drawers are locked. So there. Now since you know I ha e scolded him and think we should go back to bed."

"Hand it over." She ordered.

"What?"

"Give me the damn underwear. I'll give it to her personally."

"Tomorrow right?" Please.

"Nope. If I'm not getting sleep neither is Homewrecker."

"But Wifey..."

"Shut up and come with me."

"Sorry Raiden. I tried buddy. But you saw this coming. It's no longer my ship."

~~~~~

Raiden and Rinji got splain to do. And I hope no one is reading this during class. You know who you are. Regardless it's about to be a rough night in the Gremory House. Akeno and Ravel might have a good amount of talking to do. This is going to be a stretch. What now?

As always I hope all enjoyed, vote for more, comment freely, and as always have an awesome day cause you guys are the best and make this happen. Any questions or concerns are welcome. Love you all.
