Slipping her phone into her pocket, she slowly pulled herself up to her feet. She reached up in order to stretch her stiff bones and ended up letting out a small sigh of relief. Bending over, she grabbed her small backpack and put it on her back.

Grabbing her sunglasses, she marched over to the kitchen. On the fridge, there was a little mirror magnetized to the fridge door. She’d meant to make sure her lipstick wasn’t smudged and that she didn’t have dried up drool on her or something. But, catching sight of her eyes, she felt herself immediately tense.

The blackness swam inside of her eyes like ink, the whites of her eyes having this black inkiness pouring into it from her iris. It was… creepy. Something she hadn’t really focused on, instead considering it the physical reminder of what she is. Almost on cue, the whispering seemed to become audible, it being just quiet enough for her to not make it out.

Shaking her head, she tried to push away any feelings of unease. Slipping on the dark sunglasses, she looked into the mirror once more. She resumed her usual easy-going and uncaring smile, baring her teeth. Giving a nod to her reflection, she went to walk away when she caught sight of her [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/ac/8b/1a/ac8b1a028e2b96d7c549dbb534c4f0b9.jpg]jacket.[/url]

She hadn’t paid it much attention when she grabbed it, shoving it on without much notice. Her smile widened. Her brother had picked it out for her, saying it was nice to see a lighter color on her. He was still in the mindset that darkness was bad and lightness was good. He considered her an exception, regardless.

Warmness bubbling up inside her, she tried to return to the situation at hand. Leaving the kitchen, she waltzed form the kitchen towards her brother’s room. Knocking twice, she peeked her head in. She had to resist the urge to go ‘aww’ at seeing him curled up on his bed hugging a skeleton plushie. Sure, he may be tall and seem all dangerous-looking and grown up to outsiders but… he was her little bro, through and through.

Moving forward, she sat down on the bed. Taking a few seconds to watch them, she continuously repeats to herself that she was ‘Doing it for him. All for him’ to herself as she pokes him on his cheek repeatedly.

[color=steelblue]“C’mon bro, gotta wake up now. Gotta drop ya off at yer good ole’ buddy Sam’s house.”[/color] It was as she was saying this, she really noticed the accent. [i]Too much time in New York,[/i] she reasoned with a shake of her head as her brother immediately sat up with excitement.

[color=red]“I get to see Sam? Really? Wow!”[/color] Michael exclaimed, jumping up from bed to grab his shoes and his orange backpack, all the while Felicity watched him with a content expression and a happy grin.

[color=red]“Ready!”[/color] Michael had exclaimed, expression bright as he stood in front of her, practically vibrating from excitement. Chuckling, Felicity stood up purposely slowly, purposely taking her time in stretching, enjoying the way her brother’s face flushed a pretty shade of red as he grew impatient. 

[color=red]“Come on, lazybones! We’ve gotta go!”[/color] Michael insisted, grabbing her hand and tugging her after him as he ran to the door, dragging Felicity along with him.

[i]My bro is so cool,[/i] she thought to herself as they left the apartment.

Locking the door behind her, she held her brother’s hand as she walked him to Sam’s door. Stopping outside of it, she turned to her brother. [color=steelblue]“Now, what’re the rules?”[/color]

Michael’s face scrunched up in an adorable way as he tried to think.

[color=red]“Don’t leave Sam.”[/color]

Nod.

[color=red]“Listen to him no matter what.”[/color]

Nod.

[color=red]“Be on my best behavior.”[/color]

Nod.

[color=red]“Call you if something goes wrong.”[/color]

Nod.

…

Raised eyebrow.

[color=red]“Oh yeah! And try to use my inside voice.”[/color]

Felicity gave a pleased nod, leaning up to press a kiss to his cheek and ruffle his dark hair while he whined. Adjusting her sunglasses, she reached out her hand and knocked.

[b]Knock! Knock! Knock![/b]
