his grip loosened once
they’d parted a little ,
though his arms still
remained looped around
her , brows soon raising .
“ hmm … alright , fine ,
but only because i’m such
an ( amazing ) brother .”
cue the sweet little grin .
he was ( always ) gentle .
⠀
She pulled back slightly , giving him a knowing look . Her optics searching his .
" oh I'm very sure . "
She's had a long morning as is , so be gentle with her . Wouldn't want her to snap .
⠀
oh ? his hero .
no , really — he’s fine . just
a little … preoccupied . in
saying so , though , he
wouldn’t turn down a secret
trip to the kitchens …
⠀
Good. She was about to come down there to pull him out so he'd at least get some food. She would have simply drag him to the kitchens so he wouldn't have to see anyone if he didn't want to.
⠀
well , now … it’s in the law of
siblings to do the exact
opposite of what the eldest
wants . she should be carefullll .
“ no ? not even a little ?”
stifling his grin , he returns the
embrace with a gentle squeeze .
it was always nice to see her .
⠀
No no ! That's not necessary ! That's the Last thing she wants actually . She'd rather he be the way he is than grumpy .
" yeah no thanks . "
She chuckles , using her free hand to pull him close for a hug .
⠀
hey — he couldn’t lose his
charming demeanour !
even if he was mostly doing
it to mess with her . that
much was obvious by the
way he took her hand and
brought it to his lips , a
dramatic ‘mwah !’ sounding .
“ shall i be all grumpy and
brooding instead ?”
⠀
⠀
well , as he always says :
the less she knows , the
better .
arms comfortably cross
themselves over his
chest as he watches her
approach .
“ ah — to what do i owe
this pleasure , dear sister ?”
⠀
⠀
oblivious . totally oblivious .
cue him sliding his newly
acquired little bag of
ingredients into his inner
robe pocket with haste , eyes
momentarily darting around .
