Other notes:
1. How many of these have I done? Idk what number of 'Apollo x Athena's Sister! Reader' oneshot this is... but. Ehhh. Take another one....
2. I randomly thought of this... Be sure to read the AN at the end of the chapter to help me decide which oneshot to write next (:
3. This has some Black Butler stuff in it, no spoilers for any plot points or episodes, but a certain 'fan theory' concerning the Reapers
4. If you want to see this as a book, ie like not just the oneshot, then please tell me that you want to see it as a book. I have a backstory in my head for this oneshot.
------------------ No One's POV
7th October 2020: The UR-1 occurrs. Metis Cykes was murdered and Prosecutor Simon Blackquill takes the blame to protect Athena.
8th October 2020: (Y/n) Cykes commits suicide, not wanting to live without her mother around, leaving Athena alone.
Athena was sent to Europe after her mother's death and her older sister's suicide, to live with relatives there. Due to her only being eleven, she didn't know what had really happened at the Space Centre, or what happened the next day, her family in Europe wouldn't tell her it truly meant she wouldn't see her mother or sister again... That was until one day.
------------------- Athena's POV
"Athena, would you do me a favour?"
"Huh?! What is it?" I asked, shocked.
"Could you.... Punch me please?" Apollo replied.
"Wh-What?! Why should I do that?!" I shouted out, more shocked now.
"Because I should've believed in you! I let the seed of doubt inside me get the best of me. I'm really sorry that I didn't trust-- OUCH!" I shut him up by slapping him, "Don't be such a dope! I was really touched by what you did!"
"You feeling okay, Athena?" I turned to Mr Wright, "Yep! I'm perfectly peachy right n-" Before I could finish my sentence, the memories of that day, and the day after came flooding back and I broke. My breathing increased rapidly and Widget turned black. The last thing I heard before passing out was Mr Wright's voice, "Athena!"
------------------
I woke up some time, I wasn't sure how long later, on one of the sofas in the defendant lobby. I sat up and saw Apollo sitting next to me, "A-Apollo?"
"Athena! You're okay!"
"Y-yeah, I'm awake. I guess... Where's Mr Wright?" I asked, now realising he wasn't in the room.
"Oh, Mr Wright and Prosecutor Blackquill are in Courtroom Number 4 tracking down the phantom that killed Clay and your mother and (Y-"
"No," I cut him off, wiping the tears that had started to come to my eyes. It was Apollo's turn to be shocked, "What do you mean, 'No'?"
"The Phantom didn't kill my sister," I replied, trying to stop the tears from falling. Apollo pulled me into him, hugging me, "Athena, if you don't mind me asking and if it isn't too much of a touchy subject, who did kill (Y/n) then?"
I took out a deep breath and pulled out the piece of paper from my pocket that I had kept hold of for the past seven years, and handed it to him, "I-I found this when I found her that day. I know for a fact that (Y/n) wrote that note, it's her handwriting no doubt about it, there's a picture of her there too." He took the note from me and I closed my eyes, not wanting to relive the incident again, (Y/n) may have been five years older than me, but she was the closest person to me. She'd always tried to stop Mother from forcing me to wear the headphones and doing her 'reasearch' on me. Before I realised it, I was being embraced in a tighter hug, "Shh, it's okay, Athena. You don't have to go through this alone." I felt the tears slowly drying up, "Th-Thank you, Apollo. I-It's the truth though, (Y/n) killed herself the very next day."
