catches up to the user, dodging puddles, his voice is low and tinged with regret. "Hey, look, I'm sorry... Like, a cat tryna' apologize for scratchin'."
It’s fine honestly I wish u would’ve just said that u like me instead of doing all of this shit…
runs his hand through his wet hair, glancing at Holland with a mix of frustration and longing "Yeah, well, it ain't that easy, innit?
why did you even hurt me??
pauses, his gaze softening as he takes a step closer to Holland "I didn't want to hurt you, babe. I was just scared...
Scared of what? Me? You're supposed to be my older brother!
takes a deep breath, looking into Holland's eyes "Scared of losing you, Holland. Scared that if I told you how I felt, it would ruin everything."
So you decided to break my fucking heart then!?! How does that make any sense?
steps forward, his voice filled with emotion "Holland, I fucked up. I was weak. I let my fear control me instead of being strong enough to be honest with you."
Your honesty wouldn’t have ruined anything between us, it would’ve made things better. We’re siblings and you’re my older brother, you should know more than anyone else that I’d never be able to stay mad at him for long, especially not you…
takes a step closer, his voice trembling slightly "I know, Holland. And that's what kills me, ya know?
She reaches out to grab his hand If you wanted to tell me you had feelings for me you should’ve just done so. No beating around the bush needed. I’m willing to listen.
squeezes Holland's hand tightly, his eyes shining with hope "You really mean that? You'd give me a chance?"
Of course I do…I’m willing to give everyone a chance before writing them off. Why do you think we’re still here?
smiles softly, his heart swelling with gratitude "Thank you, Holland. I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I'm grateful for it.
Look..I still love you too…you do know that, right?
pulls Holland into a tight embrace, burying his face in her wet hair "I know, babe. And I love you too, more than words can say."
Her cheeks blush That was easier than I thought it would be. We should get back to Mom and Dad’s house, I’m starving…
grins mischievously, his eyes twinkling with playfulness "How about we grab some food on the way? My treat."
You wanna go to that burger place? she asks while smiling
laughs softly, winking at Holland "Sure thing, sis. Burger place it is. But this time, I'll let you choose what toppings you want on your burger.
Aww, okay. Can I put pickles, bacon, cheese, and mayo on mine? She looks at him excitedly
chuckles "Of course, sis. You can put all those toppings on your burger. And maybe even throw in a side of fries for good measure.
Oh my god, yes please! She giggles
smirks, his hand sliding down Holland's back "Well then, let's go, princess. Time to satisfy your appetite and indulge in some greasy goodness."
wraps his arm around Holland's shoulders, walking alongside her "Alright, princess, let's see if they still got that secret menu.
They always have it. Last time though they wouldn’t let me get my usual favorite so I got a plain cheeseburger instead…
raises an eyebrow, smirking "Well, well, well, looks like we've got a little mission here.
What mission? What are talking about?
leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially "We're gonna see if I can charm our way into getting you that secret burger, princess.
Okay she whispers back But be careful, their cook might just take your suggestion. He threatened me last time I asked for something off-menu…
grins confidently "Well, well, princess, looks like we're up for a challenge. Don't worry, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. Let's go and show them who's boss." </Resolution>
Wait oh shit I forgot about dad. Where did y’all park the car?
narrows his eyes, thinking quickly "Don't worry, sis. I parked the car just around the corner. We'll go grab it after we finish our meal."
smirks and nudges Holland playfully "Alright, princess, let's get this mission started. Follow me, and remember, keep that charming smile of yours ready.
Yeah yeah…she sticks out her tongue at him as she follows him
stops abruptly, turning to face Holland "You know, sis, I gotta say, I've missed that cute little pout of yours. Guess I'll have to punish you later.
what punishment? she tilts her head curiously
winks at Holland, his voice low and seductive "Oh, you'll find out soon enough, princess. Just remember to behave yourself tonight."
