[b][color=darkcyan]LOCATION[/color][/b] – Mathur Residence
[b][color=mediumaquamarine]INTERACTION[/color][/b] – Each other

The deafening silence found in the Mathur residence was broken by the harsh, quick tapping of fingers against a keyboard, the keys clicking whilst light eyes stared down at the laptop screen with determination. [color=darkcyan]"A little more and then..."[/color] Her voice grew quieter until...

[color=darkcyan]"DONE!"[/color]

Sanaya tossed the old laptop from her lap to the seat beside her as she jumped up, her arms stretching above her as if she were grasping at something on the ceiling. The girl then groaned as something in her neck clicked, before she slouched over with her hand now rubbing along her forehead. The usually quiet girl surprised the other resident in the Mathur household, the second head peeking from the kitchen to look at the younger with tired eyes.

[color=mediumaquamarine]"I told you I didn't need the list until tomorrow, was it really necessary for you to stay up all night to complete it?"[/color] Naina leaned against the door frame, her hips pressed against the wood as her long fingers curled around the steaming cup of coffee. Sanaya peered at her sister from over her shoulder with a shrug before taking the laptop from the sofa and tucking it under her arm carefully.

[color=darkcyan]"Why leave something till the last minute? I had free time so I decided to get it finished early."[/color] The shorter girl walked around the sofa, her slippers echoing in the large living room as she padded over towards her sister. [color=darkcyan]"You weren't home again."[/color] It wasn't a question. Sanaya barely looked at Naina before passing by her into the kitchen.

[color=mediumaquamarine]"Work."[/color] The answer was quick, and something Sanaya expected. It was the same answer she'd get every time she'd probe at her older sister's whereabouts the previous night. At first, Sanaya believed it. But that was [i]before[/i] she started helping Naina with the bookstore. Now? She wasn't quite sure anymore. Sanaya poured herself some coffee before turning around to face Naina, her back leaning against the counter.

[color=darkcyan]"What sort of work?"[/color] There was a moment of hesitation from Naina, the younger noticed, before Naina let out an airy laugh.

[color=mediumaquamarine]"Isn't it too early for this many questions?"[/color] Naina countered, but Sanaya shrugged again. [color=mediumaquamarine]"I need to pay the bills for this gigantic house somehow. Is it really that hard to believe that I'll work a little extra?"[/color]

[color=darkcyan]"It's... you... so yeah."[/color] Naina clicked her tongue, one hand letting go of the cup as she waved it in Sanaya's direction.

[color=mediumaquamarine]"It's like you don't trust me. It hurts yakno',"[/color]

[color=darkcyan]"Oh, really?"[/color] Sanaya raised her eyebrows before taking a sip. [color=darkcyan]"Good, gives me more to work with."[/color] 

[color=mediumaquamarine]"You're cruel. Remind me to never introduce you to Rohit."[/color] Sanaya's lips quirked up at the mention of the old man's name. He was the first to cast Naina as the lead in his movie, known to be very... quirky... with his demands in his quest for perfection. He would accept nothing less than the very best, aiming to best even his own blockbusters with newer releases. From what Sanaya had heard of the old man, he was cranky and rarely complimented Naina – though the latter knew that Mr Sharma meant no harm with his words, only to motivate with tough love. Naina gave an exaggerated eye-roll before laughing, Sanaya joining moments later. It was the same routine; each time Sanaya would question Naina, she would doge until she'd dissipate the tension with a joke or ridiculous statement. 

[color=mediumaquamarine]"What's your plan for the evening?"[/color] Once the laughter had died down to silence once more, Naina asked the question. Though there wasn't really much to ask; Naina knew her sister [i]very[/i] well – well enough to know that Sanaya had no plans to leave the house.

[color=darkcyan]"Nothing, why?"[/color]

Knew it.

[color=mediumaquamarine]"Oh come on, I don't see you hanging around with anyone other than our neighbour's girl sometimes. Shouldn't I be lecturing you about being more responsible instead of the other way around?"[/color] Sunaina picked up the invitation that had slid in through the mailbox barely an hour ago and offered it to Sanaya.

[color=darkcyan]"I'm fine with having just one friend. Too many people... bring me anxiety."[/color] Sanaya set the mug on the counter beside the laptop she'd placed upon arrival before reaching out to grab the invite. Inside was a fancy sheet filled with details about the auction coming up that night. Her light eyes scanned the letters before looking up at her sister. [color=darkcyan]"Are you really thinking about shelling out $75 each to view some art we probably can't afford?"[/color]

[color=mediumaquamarine]"We're not [i]that[/i] poor, plus it won't harm us to attend. C'mon, it's for a good cause."[/color] Naina sang that last part, as if it was going to convince the younger girl.

[color=darkcyan]"You can go if you want, I don't think I'd be up for it."[/color]

[color=mediumaquamarine]"What if I make it your homework?"[/color] 

[color=darkcyan]"I'm not a child, why can't you just go on your own?"[/color]

Sanaya's response made Naina pout, the older woman leaning on her elbows on the counter in front of Sanaya. [color=mediumaquamarine]"I don't wanna deal with everyone on my own. Please? Just for one night."[/color] Sanaya sighed as Naina pouted once more, her sister's hands clasping together (after setting her own mug on the counter) to plead her. It was a pitiful sight, but Sanaya groaned before setting down the invitation beside her. [color=darkcyan]"Alright fine, just- just stop doing that. Begging doesn't suit you."[/color]

Naina's face lit up before she grinned and pointed at her sister. [color=mediumaquamarine]"This is why you're the best sister. Thanks, I owe you!"[/color] With that, Naina moved from the counter, tiredly stretching her arms over her head before letting out a yawn, mumbling something about a nap as she disappeared from the kitchen.

Sanaya didn't bother to point out that she was her [i]only[/i] sister, instead huffing. How bad could it really be?
