Proper grooming

New wasn't a fool. Anurak might not say anything, but the hostility that flashed through his eyes and disappeared as quickly as it had appeared didn't escape New's notice.

He smirked bitterly but shrugged it off. He didn't blame Anurak for hating his brother. If they were not brothers, and he didn't understand why P'Smooth was the way he was, New would also hate him. Maybe even more than Anurak does.

“I know my brother is a dick, and he will not agree to help you on a good day, but on this one, he doesn't have a choice.”

New grabbed his skin and pinched Anurak really hard. Anurak yelped and quickly created a distance between them.

“Why did you do that?” He was in so much pain. He untucked his white shirt and checked the spot. It was just above his right hip. Where the appendix should be. The skin was already red but kept getting redder as Anurak rubbed it.
