I opened my eyes and immediately wiped my tears, but before I could turn around.

I felt a pair of little arms wrapped around me from behind, and I finally relaxed, knowing who it was. I felt a sense of peace washing over me.

Aadrik.

My brother.

My solace.

The reason why I'm still alive.

The only person I'm left with.

I've grown up watching him growing up, and whenever I see him, I feel like, I can face anything, as long as he's with me. 

"𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙗𝙞𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝘿𝙞𝙙𝙞" He softly whispered, while still hugging me from behind, and gave a soft peck on my cheeks.

Oh is it already 12:00? A definitely Not so happy birthday for me. Not when, my parent's death anniversary is on the same day.

I softly smiled and whispered "𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚" but then the realization hit me.

I'm the eldest one here. C'mon.

"𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙠𝙚? 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 12" I slightly scolded him, and turned back, facing him.

He looked down while fidgeting his fingers, "𝙄 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪" He softly spoke, and my eyes softened. I wrapped my hands around him, embracing him in a hug. "𝙎𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝘿𝙞" He again spoke, making me sigh, say whatever but I'm damn proud of myself for raising him like this.

(Sister)

I tightened the hug, holding him close to me and spoke "𝙉𝙤 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩, 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪"
He nodded while understanding me. "𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙚, 𝙄'𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜" He spoke and took my hands in his little ones. I got up from there and asked him "𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬-" but before I could proceed, he dragged me out of there, and I followed him from behind.

He took me towards the kitchen, but before we could enter, he stopped me on my track, and turned back facing me. "𝘽𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧, 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙧?" He spoke while raising his one eyebrow.

Oh I see where this is going.

I narrowed my eyes and nodded. "𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙞?" He said in a challenging tone.

Nope, this is not the one I'm proud of-

I sighed "𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙚, 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪" I said and added "𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧" sarcastically.

He nodded entering in the kitchen, and cleared his throat before speaking "𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮, 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙗𝙮 𝙣𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝘼𝙨𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙩 𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙨𝙖𝙮"
