Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-27950421-20181027211716/@comment-32036009-20190520011638

I look at my sister and give a weak smile and shake my head. “Why can’t you just let me pick my own girlfriend, I mean I had a real shot with that Arachne, before you drove her away, and she was nice, why didn’t you like her?” I sighed

“Because, Arachne are known to harm and humiliate their mates in and out of bed, and I hate spiders, you know that.” She said looking back at me, a little angry I challenged her authority.

“Yeah I know, but because you fear something doesn’t mean that I do, and she was nice and sweet to me, I could’ve taken a beating in bed.” I whined, still upset about it.

“Boy, you don’t know what kind of favor I’m doing for you, it’s best I pick, lest you end up with someone who tricks your tiny wit.” She shook her head at me. This got me mad and I stormed up to her, she towered over me and could easily kill me, but I know she won’t touch me.

“You don’t get to control my life, all I’ve been trying to do is find someone who you won’t drive away, and you keep doing it anyway, the person who I love isn’t your choice!” I shout at her, and instead of getting mad I see a somber look in her eyes.

“All if you, OUT!” She shouts at the auxiliary crowd in the room and they all peel out within the next en seconds, once everyone is out and the door was shut and locked she turns back to me with sad eyes, eyes I’ve not seen from her. “If that’s truly how you feel, then fine, I’ll stop trying to protect you from simple whores and sex crazed fiends, I’m trying to find someone who will love you, not string you up in their basement.” She says.

“I-i know.” I say, shocked by her new mood. “And I appreciate that, but I want to make my own choices in life, it seems like everything I do you’re their to coddle me, no you can’t do this, no you can’t eat this, you’re like a third parent, constantly limiting my life, I have very few friends because of you.” Every time I say something negative about her I can see her wince as her eyes well up with tears.

“I’m sorry, I appreciate it, but I think that you have such a skewed view of people, you think everyone is out to backstab me, and I suffer because of it.” I can see the tears streaming down her face as she tries maintain herself.

“I-I’m sorry.” Is all she manages to say before her sorrow takes over and she pushes me out of her way to run up to her room.

“Me too.” Is all I manage to mutter out. I hear the door knock and I open up and I see her group of friends still out there.

“Should we just leave?” An Anubis says.

“Yeah, sorry, we need to talk for a while.” I say scratching the back of my head.

“Alright, don’t be too hard on her, she just wants what’s best for you, after all, you’re her greatest treasure.” The Anubis smiles, and those words cut my heart out and stomp all over it as I realize that I just sent her up to her room in tears. “You know she talks about you every day, she can’t get enough of you, she really does love you, she only says great things about you.” The Anubis continues to stomp over my heart as I give a weak “Yeah” and “thank you” as I close the door. And now it’s my turn to cry as I sit at the door trying to hold back my tears. I know everything she did was for me, but to hear how I’m her treasure, and that she always talks about me, saying she has the best brother in the world, makes me feel like the worlds biggest asshole right now. I solemnly pick myself off the floor and walk my way up to her room. I knock a couple times before she opens, when she opens I waste no time embracing her in a tight hug as she does the same for me and we embrace each other for a long time, crying into each other’s shoulders, exchanging soft words of apology and forgiveness. I look into her eyes as she looks into mine and I say the first words. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you.” I say sorrily.

“It’s ok, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to control your life, but if anything were to happen to you, I’d blame myself, for not doing enough, you’re MY little brother after all.” Making sure to emphasize that I’m her little brother.

“I-I know, but please don’t, if I do something stupid then it’s my fault.”

“But it would be my fault for not stopping you or teaching you better.” She sighs as we let go of each other, but still look in each other’s eyes. We sit in silence until she speaks up again. “But, I suppose I’ll loosen up on the girlfriend thing, but I still get to meet them.” She says.

“Thank you.” I smile and hug her again. She hugs me back, more tenderly than last time and we sink to the floor, sitting against the wall.

“But I do want to introduce you to some of my friends, they’re very nice, and some have taken an interest in you.” She smiled.

“Alright, I mean I sent them away, but I’m sure I could meet them tomorrow.” I say.

“Or today.” She smiled and grabs her phone.

“Sure.” I sigh and smile. She makes a couple quick calls and sits back down with me, waiting for them.

“I love you lil brother.”

“I love you too.” I smiled and hug her one last time.
