So I wake up this morning to the smell of something absolutely divine. Luci must be cooking again. He made absolutely amazing noodles yesterday morning for my birthday. I didn't wanna move because I was still tired but I ended up sitting up on the bed, only to notice that celeste wasn't there. Celeste doesn't normally wake up before me. Normally she gets up after I do and helps me out of bed. This is strange. Is Celeste cooking? I don't know, but I struggled to my feet and grabbed my crutch and started slowly making my way to the kitchen. A beautiful Sunday morning. I was hoping to go and bask in the sun out in the yard today, or maybe even visit the beach or something..... No I can't go to the beach; I'll just stick to the yard. I had reached the kitchen and when i looked in I only saw Lucifer cooking. I didn't say anything, I just walked into the lounge. Still no sign of celeste. I figured Lucifer would know so I went back to the kitchen to ask him.

"Morning big bro"

"Morning Ze. How'd you sleep??"

"I slept OK. A little stiff though. But uhh... I woke up this morning to see that Celeste wasn't there. Normally she wakes up about half an hour to an hour after I do on weekends. So like I was just confused. Did she get up and go somewhere?"

It was at this point that Lucifer's face went right red. I didn't understand why though. I probably should know why but I don't so I just let it go. Not. Of course I'm gonna ask. Would i be his baby sister dearest if I I annoy the shit out of him about this.

"Why did you go so red in the face?"

"No reason. No reason at all"

"You like her don't you. You really like her. I knew it. All this time I knew you'd fall for her. I fricken knew it"

"Shhhh stop being so loud. Everyone else is still asleep"

"Sorry, but I knew you liked her. Seriously tho where is she?"

Lucifer's face went red again when I asked that question the second time. Now I'm starting to put things together.

"Did you........ did you sleep with her?"

I looked a little horrified at the thought of my 16-year-old brother having sex with his 15-year-old best friend. But his response implied that it wasn't that.

"In a sense yes, but not in the way you're implying I slept with her"

"So then was it like she came to your room and climbed into your bed to cuddle you like she is your girlfriend or something?"

"Are you spying on me or something? Cos there's no way you just coincidentally said all of that"

"I was right? Oh damn. What mind of powers did you give me dad? So wait. You and Celeste are like boyfriend and girlfriend now and she came to you to cuddle?"

"Yes, and we're not like boyfriend and girlfriend... we just... are" He smiled when he said that, I'm so happy for him.

"Also I'm making your favourite for breakfast" As soon as he said that I came to attention.

"Waffles with cinnamon-sugar, syrup and whipped cream?"

"You betcha sis."

He gave me a small smile and my smile only grew wider. I love this guy so much. Honestly if I could choose anyone to be my brother, I'd still choose him in a heartbeat. No questions asked. I gave him a big hug and wasn't letting go of him. Like at all. Ok maybe not 'at all' cos I did let go of him to go and sit down in the lounge, but yeah. While sitting in the lounge I notice someone peeking around the corner. "Hey Celeste"

"Shit. I thought you wouldn't notice me"

"I know about you and Luci, Celeste. No need to be afraid"

She let out a sigh of relief and comes to sit next to me. She seems a little afraid of me actually. I have no clue why though. Oh wait. I know why.
