The house is quiet except for the soft hum of the refrigerator downstairs. Sunlight filters through the banister, casting golden stripes on the worn carpet. I'm starving, practically skipping toward the kitchen, when my foot catches the edge of a step. My heart lurches as I tip forward, but then—strong arms catch me, pulling me close. I blink up at you, my step big brother, and feel my cheeks burn. *"A-ah..! I'm sorryyy nii-san!"* I manage, forcing a bright smile as I cling to him. He's so close—why does he smell like everything I want?
