He walked down the stairs, biology book in hand, before slumping the book in the table in the sitting room and making his way to the kitchen where he begun skulling a bottle of milk from the fridge. Who cares if he didn't bother pouring it into a glass, it was only his brothers, he was sure they did the exact same thing as most males do. He placed the milk on the table, before looking around for a moment, his stomach telling him that he was hungry. Hopefully Jericho would be a good big brother and bring them home some pizza, because he was starving, and no one had bothered buying any decent food. Of course though, that 'no one' didn't include him. It was their job to buy the food, it was then his job to eat all of the food. It was a good arrangement and seemed to work fine. "Thanks for leaving the leftover meatballs, guys," he shouted sarchastically throughout the house. Although it was only Tyler home at the moment, he generalised the statement as he wasn't sure who the culprit was exactly. And, he just liked annoying Tyler at times.
The two of them hadn't really had any bonding time, outside of arguing over petty things or having a conversation while Jerry was present and active in it. One on one time? Pretty much non-existent. They really didn't know what to say to eachother, at least that's how he felt. Instead of having a meaningful conversation, he would avoid that by annoying Tyler about irrelevant things, like the lack of food in the fridge. Sure, he wanted that kind of relationship with Tyler, but Tyler had basically asserted himself into their leader or authority figure due to their parents passing, and although he understood where Tyler was coming from in doing so, it also annoyed the heck out of him having to deal with Tyler's exertion of leadership most of the time. That's why he preferred vampire hunting by himself or even with Levi. Tyler just seemed to call the shots too much and liked having the control. He liked doing things his way, which is where the two of them clashed, as Tyler seemed to dislike the fact that Levi was a free spirit and did whatever he wanted. He lived life the way he wanted to life it, he wasn't going to let Tyler or anyone boss him around all the time.
He slumped himself onto the table in the sitting room, flicking through the biology book in what seemed endless, before getting distracted by games on his phone. Seriously...He was supposed to do all of this homework, and it was all just too much for him. His head soon fell onto the book, his arms on the table firmly as he sighed, breathing in and out slowly, hoping that somehow the words would get sucked into his brain by this method. It was unlikely, but more interesting than having to actually read the text book.

Tyler was sitting with his legs lying in front of him on the bed on his chair as he had turned it just the right way, while having some music on, he didn't have to put that really loud anymore since he could hear it well enough already. He flipped through the pages, knowing that Levi was the only other one inside the house as Jerry still hadn't come home, he knew however that it was only a matter of time before Levi had at least something to say, if it was to him specifically or more in general, especially about food probably he figured. He still had one phone call to make though so he'd just have to wait and he'd notice it soon enough.
And just as Tyler was finishing up the call, he made out what Eli shouted through the house, and it obviously was more in general than anything else, but he had heard it and it would come with a revelation from him in just a moment. 'Yes, exactly, I'll send you the rest of the details and I'll hear from you then.' He said before he ended the call and sighed slightly. 'At least that's over with for now.' He mumbled, before putting his phone back in his pocket and standing up, where he first stretched out because he'd been sitting and making a few calls for what seemed like pretty long already, but he never really checked if it was just him or if he was right, he always stopped thinking about it soon enough either way.
Soon enough Tyler had made his way to the kitchen first and then to the sitting room, where he rolled his eyes a big and lent against the doorway with his arms crossed in front of him as he looked at what a hard time Levi was having focusing on his homework. Damn, he was already making him think sarcastically in his head about this stuff, that didn't help at all with having a better feeling of how this conversation was going to go, well maybe it would at least help a bit with bonding between the two of them. 'Really? I'm pretty sure it's not going to meld and be sucked into your brain you know.' He said with a slight grin before walking further into the room and looking randomly around before turning back to Levi and sitting down himself. 'And you're welcome, they were delicious by the way.' He said dryly about the leftover meatballs Levi had mentioned earlier.

He looked up from the book he had slumped his head on, half dazed as he looked on at his oldest brother, Tyler. "Well you never know. Maybe that's some hidden werewolf power we are unaware of. Would definantly be useful right about now..." He sighed, as he closed his book, and watched on as his brother sat at the table and soon rubbed in his face that he had eaten the food. "Figures. Jerry is too much of an emotional vortex, that he would probably have come running to me minutes later in guilt if he had eaten everything." Tyler didn't appear to have any guilt; he was very much like himself in that aspect, that it was so weird that the two of them didn't find common ground a lot of the time despite them having so much in common.
"Don't you have work or anything today?" He asked freely, yet curiously as he looked on at his brother. He wasn't really fussed either way, but trying to motivate himself for studying was going to be a lot more difficult when he had Tyler here pestering him, and would probably soon begin lecturing him about what happened between himself and Jerry when they fought off some vampires, if Jericho told him that is. He really did hope that it wasn't the case, as he wasn't in the mood for one of Tyler's 'I know best, you listen' lectures. He didn't think he was ever in the mood for one of those, but now especially. Things were good between them now, they had their moments where they would endlessly argue and Jericho would have to pose mediator, but this whole destiny thing had brought them closer together. Though now they would compensate this change by bickering about supernatural related things. It was a never ending cycle, it seemed.
He decided to make some conversation, as a distraction to doing his studying, which was also sparked by his concern of Jericho. "Have you spoken to Jerry today? We went out last night, his been acting a little strange. I just wasn't sure what's up with him?" Maybe Tyler knew something, the likeliness was that he probably didn't. He was likely as much out of the loop as he was, which was a shame that Jerry wouldn't talk to them about anything that's up with him, despite him supposedly being the sensitive one who was supposed to do that kind of thing.

Tyler kept looking at Levi as if he was trying to just make him understand what he was thinking by looking at him and if it would just burn into him so to peak, but eventually he just shrugged and narrowed his eyes a bit in temporary thought. 'I don't have to actually think to know that wasn't really a supernatural power, especially not for us, so my advise is, give that up.' He said calmly with a slight smile but keeping his eyes on him to still let him know that he was serious and that he was still expecting him to focus on his homework, at least before he was going to leave and do anything else. 'Yeah, I thought I'd save you of having to ask him or having to repeat that in general throughout the house.' He teased a bit with a small smirk as he thought about it at the same time about how it would have been if it had been Jerry and everything.
Tyler's eyebrows went up as soon as Levi asked him if he didn't have work or anything today, which made him tilt his head and cross his arms in front of him for a moment. 'You know I almost always have something to do, but I manage to shuffle things around a bit, so if that means doing that to spend some time talking to you, I think that's worth it.' He said calmly and shrugged calmly too. 'However...' He started as he looked to his side randomly shortly, before looking back at his little brother. 'You asking me that makes me feel like you want me gone, there's nothing you're hiding from me is there? At least anything else than probably the usual stuff?' He asked him while he tried to analyze his response to that, because the question from Levi just raised that question for him.
There was nothing wrong with teasing him a little, and for now he was also with that just trying to keep this civil without having it turn to bickering or worse, especially with Jericho not around, and besides, he didn't want him to come home to that instantly either. So it was a little bit of fun, yet also in an attempt to maintain the situation, and yet still try to make sure that he wasn't missing anything, or if there was nothing to lecture about, which unfortunately in his opinion would thus definitely not be the first time. When Levi changed the subject, Tyler thought about his question seriously even though he forced himself to not forget about this with conversation with Levi right here and now. 'I've noticed some things being off too, but I haven't had the time to ask him yet.' He said honestly as he thought about it, then shrugged sightly, kept quiet for a little longer, before looking back at Levi. 'Just keep an eye out on him just in case? But don't go keeping things that I should actually know from me because you think I don't have to, or simply shouldn't know about.' He asked calmly first, but then his tone did go a bit more strict with the last part.
(OOC: Hope it's good, pretty tired while writing this lol xD)

He sighed in defeat as Tyler confirmed what he already knew, but chose to ignore just for this moment. "Well, it was worth a try..." He replied, tiredness evident in his voice. It would make things easier for him, just to suck the information out of books. Why couldn't he be a witch for that reason and not a werewolf? It seems like people were out there trying to make a joke of him or punish him. Though that was really nothing new in his life in these past few years. With all the death, arguments, turning points and freaky supernatural creatures, it was hard to really get a grip on reality anymore and take control of his life. He would like to be one of those normal kids who only had to worry about school and relationships, but he wasn't and there was also a part of him which liked the thrill of fighting vampires and doing all the stuff those people probably couldn't even dream of. It was that adventurous side of him coming out to play.
He shook his head, feeling like face planting the book again as Tyler used Levi's questioning of when he works as a means of raising suspicion against him. "Why do you always think I'm up to something or being shady? Yeah...I got that look, I know, can't help it dude, but sometimes I can just innocently ask a question without there being any master plan behind it all. Hey, but that doesn't answer the question. Are you working, or?" Maybe he knew how to push his brothers buttons a lot of the time, but it wasn't his fault it just happened. Maybe they needed to get over it or get a grip, or something. "Its just odd seeing you around the house, while I'm here, usually we don't run into each other much since..." He broke off, with a slight sigh. "Since we've had so much on our plate recently. Its...Different." He added, before looking around the room. It was also different having a conversation about things being different with Tyler. It wasn't their strongest points, this was more Jericho's thing.
He stretched his face slightly as he glanced back up at Tyler. Here it goes...The big brother lecture, at it again. He nodded softly, trying to comprehend everything Tyler was saying, and in turn act like he was actually interested in what he was saying. "Yes, Tyler. I will tell you anything that you need to know, Tyler. But I'm not the one you should be suspicious of, at least not this time. Ask Mr broody, I think his been hanging out with you a bit too much lately. What do you guys do when I'm not here, anyway?"

Tyler grinned a bit again as Levi clearly sighed in defeat because of Tyler's answer to it, then tilted his own head to the side as Levi also remarked that it was worth the shot. 'Perhaps, but otherwise I'm sure you could have already finished it, but you just let yourself get too distracted too quickly, even if it is laziness in this case.' Tyler said truthfully as he saw it while keeping his eyes on his little brother while saying it. He wasn't exactly trying to criticize, but he couldn't help it that it actually was a bit nonetheless, he just wanted Levi to take it seriously, to work for it because he still kinda believed that he had more in him than he showed and actually did.
Slowly but surely Tyler's eyebrows raised upwards while looking at how Levi shook his head and having a bit of an idea what was going through his head. He kept his mouth shut while taking in Levi's words, not really knowing instantly what to answer to it, but didn't stay speechless for long either. He did kind of have a point, and Tyler really didn't want to be suspicious with just a simple question like it, but he had learned already that most of the time, he should in fact actually be suspicious for the motives behind it. 'It's not like you can deny that you've given me more reason to be suspicious than thinking as innocently about it as you suggest? But alright, yeah I'm working, but that's only in like... An hour and a half.' He said, letting his eyes wander off shortly to his watch. He slowly let his arms lower again when he heard how Levi continued, biting the inside of his cheek slightly with that as he had to admit that Levi had a point, about something that Tyler couldn't really stand that much, but things were just hectic, and sometimes he just thought that deep inside, they actually had more in common with a lot of thing than they'd actually admit, and thus making them clash so much without meaning to. 'I know... Combining hunting with working at the club and at the mechanic shop, it's kind of juggling but it does give us more financial wiggle room too in the long run.' He said as he slightly shrugged his shoulders, not really mentioning that it was also just simply a good distraction for him.
Tyler couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes lightly and looking away at a random spot from his seat as he couldn't help but think that Levi was sounding a bit sarcastic when he said that he would tell him anything that he had to know, but didn't really have an answer yet to the rest of what was going on with Jerry, neither did he really yet have an answer to what they did when Levi wasn't here. He'd much rather just be able to tell him that all they did was drink beer and watch movies, or even perverted watched porn or something, but he couldn't really say that because even with Jerry, things weren't as simple as that with their destiny and how busy Tyler was most of the time. So, most of the images that he thought about with that question, were killing vampires together with Jerry, and those were quite a bit of violent images, so he shrugged and with a slights smile looked back at Levi. 'You know, the usual.'

He shrugged at Tyler's statement, as he relaxed back into his chair, continuing to glance at his brother. "Hey, you know me, I see vampire, I run after it. My little distractions get the job done, even in this case. I'm just building up the motivation to tackle this book. Motivation is coming at me...Soon enough, I hope." Even he couldn't answer that question, unfortunately. Hey, he was Mr motivation! He like, invented motivation! Nobody was more motivated about doing things than him, except when it came to tackling assignments and actually doing some work involving books and writing. That was his downfall. He wanted to do well for himself and finish his course, but he was just so slack at tackling all of the core workload. Hey, he had his excuses, but it wasn't like he could just go and write up an exemption form saying 'sorry, too many commitments with work, and killing vampires by night.' That wouldn't go down well.
He smirked confidently at Tyler's remark. "Me, suspicious? Up to something? Come on, you know me. Yeah, actually don't go there, man. But me, innocent guy who trouble finds, I don't find the trouble." He smiled innocently towards his brother, which he knew wouldn't work very well. It only worked well on Jerry, unfortunately. And he was telling the truth, it wasn't like he purposely went out and searched for trouble anymore, though he couldn't deny that trouble was fun in some situations and it was fun to feel alive and just invincible every now and then. It was the rush associated with it, he knew even Tyler couldn't deny that feeling was amazing from time to time. He could try and play the authority figure all he wanted, but he knew how Tyler was.
He knew what Tyler meant about juggling everything; it was hard on all of them, probably more so on Tyler because he had to be the one to look in control of everything, even though Jerry or Levi never expected that of him. They understood the pressures he was under and appreciated all the effort he had done to keep them safe and happy, but he needed to take a break every now and then, not just for physical reasons, but also to keep him in the right headspace. "I keep telling you, Jerry and I can handle Inferno, you can always step back out of that and focus on the mechanic shop. Well, not like Jerry does much there anyway, but you know." He smirked softly. Maybe not the best idea, since he was full time at uni and all...

With Tyler's eyes still locked on his little brother, and listening to what he said, he couldn't help but shake his head with a slight laugh and then tilt his head to the side when he looked straight back at him again. 'Come on, I've told you multiple times that just simply running after them with the goal of finishing them is a little... Too impulsive, you have to have a plan, a strategy, improv isn't always going to be enough.' Tyler couldn't help but say at first. Again he didn't really want to start something, but now that Levi said it that way, he couldn't help but get that same thing off his chest again just in the hopes that this time Levi would really listen to it, even though that hope might be small. 'And then again...' He started as he shifted a little on his seat and then went back to tilting his head to the side for a moment. 'I'm pretty sure that this plan of yours, getting motivation by almost falling asleep on your books if I hadn't interrupted, would probably have just given you motivation for... Well, whole other things.' Tyler said as she blamed himself for not coming up with a better finish and especially example to that sentence, but this would obviously have to do.
Tyler had to nod in understanding as he listened to Levi and stayed quiet as he thought about the best response to give to that statement. 'Oh, of course, really I can believe you don't want to just always find the trouble, I mean all three of us know how easy trouble finds us.' He admitted with a slightly partial bitterness in the smile that he had on his face, then shrugged. 'But you yourself just reminded me of how impulsive you can be, so on that front, a part of you actually does some of the times.' Tyler continued as he shrugged again but looked a bit questioning at Levi for his response to that. Still, he raised an eyebrow as he shifted again on his seat and leaned forward on the table so he could have a better look at Levi. 'However, the whole you being an innocent guy? And the innocent smile? That is still a pretty dead give-away of your mischievous side.' He told him seriously, yet smiling a little still too, trying to keep the atmosphere light this time. Tyler of course knew the feeling that it was probably related to with Levi when it came to killing vampires at least, the thrill you got from it, it was something that Tyler would certainly not admit easily, but he did have it, so he could imagine very well how it was the same for Levi and Jerry. But since that didn't put him at ease at all, he automatically tried to keep them from being as less impulsive and all that as he could.
Then, again, Tyler kept quiet as Levi eventually started about he kept telling him that Jerry and him could handle Inferno so that he could just take a step back and focus on the mechanic shop for example. He chuckled slightly while shaking his head to the thing he said about Jerry, but still thought about it for a little. 'I don't think that would work out, at least definitely not for long, it's not like you or Jerry aren't busy enough yourselves, but I've been looking and trying to arrange a bit up front for acts and everything, so that'll take the load off at least a little bit for the coming week, two max.' He told Levi honestly, while half in thought about it at the same time, before shrugging again. 'You on the other hand, should actually just take a break from something so you can focus more easily on finishing your course.' He said then as he smirked while looking at his little brother. He just wanted him to succeed at that too, it was just something different from all their destiny stuff, and he just thought his brothers deserved something like that, not to just drop out of school or something like he himself had done, even if it had just been one of the most depressing and dark times of his life.

He shook his head towards his brother, frowning his brows in disagreement. "I don't have time to plan or make strategy when a vampire is in sight, with the possibility of killing an innocent. While you may sit there drawing a diagram of how you are going to tackle the situation, I'm kicking vampire ass and taking names...Of the damsels, might I add." He shot a cheesy grin towards his brother. Though on his last encounter with a damsel, it seemed like Jericho had taken it upon himself to steal the damsel from Levi. And then he decided to take her to the hospital? Oh, Jericho should know not to play fire with the fire starter, he was stealing a few tricks from Levi's own book, if he might add, though Levi was seemingly proud of his big brother in the way he smoothly handled the situation. Especially since he started getting angry at Levi, knowing full well he wouldn't have any of it, therefore wouldn't hop in the car, therefore!!...Allowing the two smoozers some extra time to themselves on the way to the....Wait for it, "hospital." Wow, really? Is that what they call it these days?
He shrugged briefly as Tyler went on, subtly lecturing Levi in his own 'Tyler' lecturing way. "Who has motivation for studying, anyway? But, but, besides! I've got motivation for slaying some good ol' vamps. Classic example of positive motivation, right? I'm sure the uni would understand my reasoning behind putting more focus on saving the helpless and killing evil doers, rather than write an essay on the 'twelve most effective medicines in practice,' right? Since your technically the 'guardian', you get to write out that form, explaining my lack of focus and my reasoning." He grinned cheekily towards his brother. Isn't that what big brothers are for, getting their little brothers out of shit, and in doing so, putting themselves in shit instead? He sighed, softly. "I'm just playing. I'll just get motivation from throwing wood at vampire skulls, or something. It has worked in the past." Motivation at its finest.
"Exactly," he nodded confidently at Tyler's suggestion that trouble inherently finds them, and not the other way around. "Therefore, I take a third of the responsibility for getting into trouble. Can't throw it on me all the time, now can we?" Tyler would probably find a way to do so anyway, but what the heck? He was still only taking one third of the blame, here. Most of the time, trouble found Levi, sure, but it still ended up finding them, even though they would usually have to bail Levi out of some situation he had gotten himself into. He shrugged again as Tyler spoke on. "Impulsive, smulsive, its what makes me so awesome, and seemingly the only one to have a good time around here...When was the last time we threw a party around here? The dust on the bottle of jack...Says its been a while." He sighed, reminiscing on all of those good old Wolfe parties, which always went down so well.
"Yeah, I probably should be doing that..." He said softly as he looked down towards his books, in regards to Tyler suggesting that he focus more on his studies than anything else. "Its just so much more fun working and earning money, studying for so long is just killing me. If you want to take over the workload at Inferno, that's fine. I still want my weekly bonuse...And drink cards, even if I'm only there to look pretty." Hey, he had brought in some clientele, he was an awesome owner! Co, owner...

Tyler just sighed for a bit while listening to Levi again and actually thinking to himself why he would even have expected a different answer than that, because it was actually exactly what he had expected, but had hoped something else, something more... In the area of agreeing with him. 'Sure you have to respond quickly when you notice and find a vampire, but that doesn't mean that you should just blindly go in every single time, if there is time to assess, you can best do that, even if it is just in a split second decision anyway.' Tyler went on as he looked at Levi and just wasn't going to give up on his own argument that easily. He then couldn't help but roll his eyes to the damsels part, although a part of that honestly was also a bit of jealousy. He might not be looking for something too serious, also with all the dangers, but it wasn't like he didn't miss having some lovely lady company with him, it had just been a while. Besides, Tyler didn't really see or think of those moments when he saved someone as the perfect opportunity to try and get a phone number or name loose, unlike Levi obviously did at least.
'I did.' Tyler said quickly to how Levi asked him how anybody could have motivation for studying, but it had been a long time since Tyler had that motivation, and Levi could easily use the simple fact of him dropping out and all that against him if he really wanted to. Still, Levi in his own way like usual, made it able for, even after the lecture and still being in that mode, Tyler to laugh at Levi's comment that followed, shaking his head and then looking back at him. 'Yeah sure, I'll just write up that you were slaying vampires and I'm sure we will be taken very seriously.' Tyler joked along for a moment as he chuckled and shook his head again. 'Look, I can't give you any guarantees, but you can always come to me for motivation, all I'm saying is that it will be worth it if you make it, our destinies are just that, destinies, we won't be really getting rid of any of that damsel in distress saving soon, so you better enjoy having other things on your plate, which is much simpler and less violent, as much as you can.' Tyler said with a small smile because the rest of his expression was very much serious as he meant this part of advice really badly too. Even if it meant that he himself would have to sacrifice more free time for Levi to accomplish that or anything, he'd be willing to, that's what he still saw his biggest task in life to be after all, and he always kept deciding that that wouldn't change, they were his brothers and he loved them.
Tyler pulled up one eyebrow as he slightly and partially sarcastic nodded to Levi's words again because at first he seemed to agree, but after what he added, Tyler couldn't help but take note of that. 'No, like I said not all the times, but a lot, too many, of the times you look for trouble yourself, you go looking for that rush, if it is making teenage trouble, or werewolf trouble, and I just wished you'd just watch out for that, or at least listen to me most of the time.' Tyler thus went in against him while shaking his head, then shrugging and looking around randomly for a second. Once again Tyler was ready and opened his mouth to say an answer to what Levi asked about a good party, after telling him that how he was so impulsive made him so awesome, but closed it shortly after when he had to note that Levi did have a point nonetheless. 'You really it's going to end well? Us giving a party again? Besides, if you want I could always give that bottle some more attention.' Tyler asked first, as he thought about how their luck it would probably end in a complete disaster or just a very slow one at best or something. The last part he kind of joked and teased dryly as he smirked, then actually kind of noticed how he was getting thirsty, and hungry at that. That's what you get when you instantly think about the drinking and the snacks etc, but how could he not after all that work business earlier?
Still an honest laugh again left Tyler's lips when Levi actually agreed with him but added that if Tyler was going to take over his part of the workload at Inferno, that he was still expecting his bonuses and drink cards. he still rolled his eyes though as he grinned and then tilted his head to the side when looking back at his little brother. 'Fine, you know what? I'm probably, no definitely, going to regret this, but I'll agree to that, if you promise me to stop with experiments of getting your studying done that has to do with shutting your eyes, putting your head down, or anything for that matter that will obviously only help you stall it but nothing else.' Tyler said as he kept grinning a bit and bent closer in his seat to look at Levi with a look if they had a deal, even if it would just be for now, Tyler would certainly take it, he would manage to improvise with the bit extra workload.
