Brother's Best Friend [Heartbreak High]

4: Leave The Window Open

You were lounging on your bed when you heard Ant arriving home. When you heard him passing your room, you called out to him, signalling him to come in. 

"Morning Flo," Ant mumbles, clearly still feeling the hangover.

"Mate, it's like 4 PM" you laugh, as Ant grunts and plops himself next to you on your bed. He snuggles up to one of your many soft toys, making himself comfortable and letting out a noise of contentment.

"Last night was fucking ace" Ant says, and you nod in agreement. "Everyone loved you, by the way. Pretty sure I heard Darren asking if they could replace me with you," he scoffs.

"Oh, no one could ever replace you my sweet, sweet...special...brother," you joke, squishing his cheeks, Ant doesn't even try and fight back.

"Pretty sure I saw Malakai eyeing you, anything happen there?" he raises an eyebrow.

"Nah nothing, we just had a dance or two," you say, to which Ant raises the other eyebrow, "I swear nothing happened!" You lightly swat him, and he finally relents. 

"Okay okay, just wondering," he looks up to you, "it's my job to look out for you, you know." You smile and nod. "And not just me, you've got Dusty and Spider too. We're ready to fight any boy who dares lay a hand on you." Ant gets up and starts shadow boxing, practicing his 'moves'. 

You burst out laughing, but on the inside start to feel a bit guilty. You're not sure how Ant would react knowing he would technically have to fight Spider. Obviously you hadn't discussed anything with Spider yet but maybe this was something to keep from Ant...at least for now. And if he does find out, well, that sounded like a future Floss problem. 

"Alright I get it, you're a professional boxer now, I can breathe easy" you giggle. You and Ant then spend the next few hours catching up and listening to music. After dinner you decide to watch a movie in the living room, choosing a classic - Shrek 2. Only 1 hour in and you can hear Ant softly snoring. You silently snort and pick up your phone to take a picture of him. It's then that you see messages from a certain someone.

Spider: hey you, you free? [sent 9:15 PM]

You checked the time, it was almost 10 PM. 

Floss: well Ant just fell asleep in the middle of Shrek so technically yeah...but we have school tomorrow...?

Spider: typical lol. don't worry I'll come to you. keep your window open

Floss: spence you're not about to do what I think you're about to do 

Spider: see you in 15 x

You sigh, there wasn't much stopping him now. You left Ant in the living room, dropping him a message that you were going to bed, he would see it when he woke up. Wishing your parents good night, you made your way back to your room, closing and locking the door behind you. You prop open the window. Lucky for Spider your room was on the ground floor, while your parents and Ant's bedrooms were upstairs. While you waited you changed into your pyjamas, just a simple lace trim tank top and shorts. Did you pick your cuter option because you knew who would be coming through the window any minute? Perhaps. Lying back down on your bed you started playing some music and waited for your visitor.

Song Playing: Helium - Glass Animals 

"Hey you" you turn around, and see Spence at the window. He grins, then pushes the window up further and climbs through. 

"Hey you" you smile, standing up and walking over to him. "And what brings you here at this time of night? Didn't get enough of me this morning?"

"Just wanted to see you." Spider says, which made you feel warm inside. "But yeah this morning was definitely not enough" he smirks, leaning down and catching your lips, pressing a kiss there.

"You know my whole family is in the house." Spider nods dismissively, and is about to lean in again, "including Ant. He's just outside," you warn.

"Ouch Floss, are you embarrassed of me or something?" he whines, acting wounded. 

"No you idiot," you laugh, "but it might be too much of a shock for him if he were to find out like this, don't you think? Unless you feel like telling your best friend you get a hard-on for his sister" Spider snorts, but also nods in agreement, he was not about to have that conversation with Ant just yet.

"So you're suggesting we sneak around?" he asks...which admittedly got you kind of excited.

"Just until there's a good time to talk to Ant..." you say.

"If it makes you happy, I'll do it." Spider confirms, pressing a kiss to your forehead. You smile up at him, thankful that he was being understanding. "And I mean, I've got a major hard-on for you so..." you roll your eyes at him.

"Thank you, you very annoying boy" you say. 

"Anything for you," Spider responds. 

"Okay you need to leave now, it's late, there's school tomorrow and the thought of my parents or Ant catching you in here is making me very nervous", you say, pushing Spider back towards the open window. He pulls a face, but complies, climbing back out the window before turning to face you again.

"See you tomorrow Floss," Spider grins. You smile, and lean out the window. He uses the ledge to pull himself up, giving you one last kiss, before jumping back down, giving you small wave and disappearing into the night. Fighting the urge to squeal, you close the window and jump into bed. Never have you been so excited for school. 

A/N: the chapter title is supposed to be a reference to the song Leave The Door Open by Silk Sonic, big kudos if you noticed that!!
