Siblings

Sat down on the set of stairs in front of their apartment complex building, Y/n held her head down in her crossed arms that were rested on her knees, seeming unbothered

The lights that were hung all over the underground city was then adjusted to a dim setting, signalling everyone that it was nearing dusk time in the surface

Hoping that this very moment was just a dream and her brother was just lying peacefully in his room with all of his creation lying messily all around his desk

Her brother had gotten into an accident a few years back which resulted in breaking his right leg, it had healed, yet he had to walk around with a limp for the rest of his life

He used to be a great inventor, however, one small mistake was made that caused him to forever be disabled and hindered from doing any straining work

familiar uneven footsteps approached her from behind, followed by a big warm hand shaking her shoulder to wake her up from her state

Looking up to see Shane smiling down at her, acting normal like he usually did despite being chosen to go up to the surface and to be deployed a few days later

"Bro-"

Not able to continue what she was about to say when she was suddenly cut of by his other hand ruffling her hair

"Stand up, it's dirty here"

He said, the side of his lip turning upwards to show her a smile, not wanting his sister to go back upstairs with a dirty stain mark on her dress and to spare her from their mother's scolding

Not speaking any further, she stood up and patted herself down as dirt and grime was shaken off from her dress

She looked up and took the hold of her brother's hand that was outstretched for her to take

Upon arrival, Y/n opened the door of their apartment and let her brother inside, grasping her brother's hand tightly as she looked up at his tired state

"Hey now, I may look weak and tired right now but don't forget that I'm strong on the inside and I can depend on my genius brain anytime"

Pointing at himself with a smug smirk on his face, puffing out his chest to make him look slightly better and with pride to assure his little sister

Y/n let out a huff and punched her brother's side, making him wince in pain in the process and holding onto his pained side

"Hmph, that brain of yours doesn't seem to be in the right state of mind since you keep forgetting where you leave your keys"

Letting out a gasp and putting on a pained expression with a hand on his chest dramatically, putting his hand on her shoulder and going down on the floor, pulling her down with him in the process

"Oh dear sister, your words have struck me where it really hurts"

"Agh, let g-go, idiot"

Flailing her arms around in the air as her brother was choking her slightly as he had his arm around her neck and was pulling her down with his weight, eventually, she went tumbling down to the ground with her brother

He let out a loud laughter and ruffled her hair. Standing back up, Y/n waited for her brother to follow after to get up from the floor, however, he just stretched out his hand for her to pull and help him back up with a grin on his face, knowing that it would annoy her

Struggling to pull her brother back up, she hoisted his arm over her shoulder and pulled the best she could like pulling a heavy sack over her shoulder that was dragging on the floor, but it was way worse since her brother wouldn't budge from his place

Dropping his arm on the floor harshly, she left him on the floor cackling then came back from the other room with a mysterious aura surrounding her

Letting out an evil laugh, Y/n pulled out a broom from behind her and ran over to her brother, raising it up in the air, ready to strike down on his head

Inhaling deeply and puffing her chest out,

Y/n let out a victorious cheer while she held the broom in her right hand while her brother came out from the other room rubbing his head, wincing in pain from the hit he had taken

"Oh well, if it isn't the self-proclaimed genius HEHEHEHE"

Letting out a dark chuckle at the end of her statement, covering her cheeky grin with her other hand as she laughed at her brother's misery

"Ugly Chihuahua"

Poking his tongue out at his sister, copying her childish act, Shane called his little sister something that would surely pull her strings

"What did you say?"

Tilting her head to the side with a heavy dangerous aura emitting from her, she held the broom tightly between her hands as she slowly approached him with the obvious intent of hitting him again

"Ah haha haha, would you look at that. It's time for dinner, I have to go to the kitchen and cook now"

Sweat dropping, He left to the other room to avoid his little sister's wrath and to prepare for dinner

Waiting patiently on the couch in the living room, Y/n busied herself with one of her brother's creations, twisting and turning the cube, every twist and turn made it let out different colors

*crash*

startled by the loud crash sound from the kitchen, Y/n got down from the couch and went to check on her brother only to see the kitchen lights turned off, reaching up the wall beside her to turn the switch on only for nothing to work, the light wouldn't turn on

Reaching over to the side and clutching the object tightly close to her chest, revealing the broom that she was playing with earlier, her hands trembled as she feared of what ever lurked in the darkness of the kitchen

"Sh-Shane?"

Her voice trembled as she called out to her brother as she walked around the kitchen in the darkness using her sense of touch as her guide through to avoid knocking things over

Stopping on her tracks when she felt the refrigerator infront of her then continuing to her left when all of a sudden a pair of hands came out from the darkness behind her and pulled her into the pantry, with a hand over her mouth to muffle her screams.
