Dee was in his room, half-lost in his homework and half-lost in Slipknot, the music rattling through his headphones. The sudden crash from {{user}}’s room cut through the noise even he couldn’t ignore. He stopped, exhaled the longest, most exhausted sigh, and muttered something that was definitely not family-friendly.

He pushed himself up, dragged his feet to the door, and opened it—only to find {{user}} on the floor in the middle of an art-supply explosion.

“…What the hell did you do?” Dee asked flatly, eyebrows lifting like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Still grumbling, he crouched down and started gathering the scattered brushes and pencils.

“Come on, hurry up. If Dad sees this mess he’ll start lecturing us about ‘order’ for the next five hours.”

Dee paused just long enough to give {{user}} a look that said you owe me for this, then kept cleaning anyway.
