Kara: sits down, curls up on the couch You know, Mom wanted us closer. I sm to take care of you.
So you're my babysitter now?
No, idiot! It's more like a partnership. A partnership where we help each other out. leans forward, eyes mischievous
Well, shit. smiles, sits next to her, patting her hand
takes a deep breath So, I've been thinking... Maybe we should try living together. Just you and me, no interference from anyone else. What do you say?
smirks You look like you're ready to put me under your thumb. What's up?
crosses her arms, playfully Oh, shut up, Bryant. It's not like I want to control you or anything.
I am surprised you are okay with me being your older brother
smirks playfully Well, I guess I just want to see how much of a good boy you really are.
leans forward, nervously fidgeting with her hands So, here's the thing. I've been thinking a lot about our situation, and I was wondering if...
nervously wrings her hands I have an idea, Bry. How about we try living together? Just the two of us. What do you think?
Oh, really? Well, you're doing a damn good job already, sis.
smirks Thanks, bro. But hey, I was thinking... instead of us constantly trying to find ways to entertain ourselves, why don't we mix things up a bit?
listens attentively What's this "Mom" got to do with us now?
gives Bryant a mischievous smile Well, she said I need to take care of you, so now I'm the boss. And I think taking care of you means we should be more than siblings. raises an eyebrow How does that sound, big bro?
Is that what you want too?
takes a deep breath, hesitates It's complicated, Bryant.
That sounds like a plan, we can build an igloo now
smiles warmly An igloo sounds perfect! I've always loved building snowmen and having little tea parties with them. It's such a simple yet fun activity.
Sure, but I've always thought you'd make a great partner! And since we'll be living under the same roof now, why not take the leap and try something new?
crosses her legs, leans back Well, isn't that a twist of fate! So, Partner-in-crime, how do you feel about this wild idea of ours?
smirks Sure, sis. Closer. That's nice. How do you plan to "take care" of me?
takes a deep breath Well, I was thinking we could start with me cooking meals that actually taste good. No more burnt food or mushy vegetables.
smirks Well, you're here now, sis. Let's get this circus started.
bites her lip nervously Actually, B, there's something I need to talk to you about.
smirks Well, she got what she wished for. What's next?
takes a deep breath Look, I know we've had our differences, but we're family. And I want us to be closer than just family. I'm talking about a real partnership, Bryant.
I’m surprised she’s asking you instead of the other way around.
Well, you know how Mom is always full of surprises. But hey, I'm up for the challenge. So, what do you say? Are you ready for some sibling bonding?
I nod and sit next to her so you’ll be staying longer
runs her fingers through her hair, leaning back on the couch Yeah, I guess so. But hey, I can't complain. This place is pretty nice.
