Title: Sibling Rivalry – Keeping Score
Rating: PG
Prompt: #11 Race
Summary: Liam and Jasson of Conte have an ongoing competition with each other.
Word Count: 369
Liam hated his little brother beating him at anything and Jasson loved the look of dismay on his big brothers face whenever that happened.
Each wanted to be better than the other. To come first. So they kept score, to see who really was the best...
And so the list began:
First to be born: Liam
“Er, I don’t think you can really take credit for that one.”
“I do what I want little brother.”
First to ride a horse: Liam
“Technically it was a pony.”
“Shut-up Jass, I still did it before you.”
“You were first to fall off too, does that count?”
First to break a bone: Jasson
“Because you were stupid.”
“Because I wasn’t afraid, like you Liam.”
“You could have died.”
“You wouldn’t have let me.”
First to become a page:
“Well, that was a draw.”
“Liam, did you even want to start your page training?”
“That’s not the point! Mithros knows I wasn’t about to let you become a page before me!”
“I thought you were waiting for Alan?”
“Shut-up Jasson!”
First to kiss a girl: Jasson
“It was a dare though!”
“I still did it first.”
“And it was with Aly!”
“Still first.”
“You know, I’ve always thought of her as being a lot like a sister to us...”
“You’re disgusting.”
First to bed a girl: Liam.
“Kissing girls is all very well, but it’s what comes after that counts. I’m sure you’ll find that out for yourself one day, little brother...”
First to be chosen for a squire: Jasson
“Don’t look at me like that Liam, it’s not my fault people like me more than you.”
First to become a knight: Jasson.
“Three whole days before you Liam, what do you say to that?”
“Luck of the draw.”
“I think the Gods just found me more deserving, and so placed me first- AGH! What was that for?!”
“I’m not sure, I just had this sudden urge to punch you...”
Jasson was smarter.
Liam was better at combat.
Jasson was a faster runner, though.
And taller.
Liam glared down at Jasson, no longer sure what to feel.
“You just had to be first at everything, didn’t you little brother?”
First to die: Jasson.
