Bound To You

"Why do you have to leave again?" I pouted, squeezing my arms around my brother as I breathed in his familiar scent one last time. A week isn't enough time, I needed my brother in my life.

"Why don't you just move to America? You and Kiara both." He whispered back to me, making sure no one else heard his offer. I shrugged and let go, taking a step back.

"It doesn't seem like the right thing to do right now." I stated. More like I knew if I moved to America my feelings for Sapnap would be the first thing I'd admit.

"Think about it, okay, bugs?" He asked, I cringed at the childhood nickname and hugged him once more. After I let go he engulfed Kiara in a hug, they whispered amongst themselves and I swear I saw a tear fall onto her cheek.

"Dream." I said, he spun around and hugged me, lifting me off the airport ground before placing me back on my feet, "You keep an eye on my idiot brother, got it?"

"Understood." He laughed, walking over to George and patting him on the back to let him know to wrap things up with Kie.

"Y/n." Sapnap breathed.

"Don't." I took a step away and looked at the ground, "I got too much shit going on here, I know what you're going to say."

"If you move to America we can—"

"No, Sapnap." Stopping him, once again, from speaking. It's turning into a regular thing I did to him, "I will not be the girl who moves to a different country for a man. I won't do it."

"Then move across the country as the girl who doesn't want to miss her brother anymore," He paused, making the gears in my head turn faster, "and look at them," He gestured to Kiara and George, "I've never seen George be so open about liking someone. You know she won't go anywhere without you, be the girl who helps her finish her love story. Let her be the girl who moves to a different country for a man."

Sucking in a sharp breath I turned my attention away from the duo and back to him, "She can go wherever she pleases. With or without me."

"I'll see you soon, Y/n." Is all he said before grabbing his suitcase and spinning it around to trail behind him.

"I hope so." I whispered under my breath.

"Ready!?" Kiara partially jumped on my back and let her arm wrap around my shoulders, a cheeky smile on her face. Seeing the way she looked at my brother made me want to get my visa today, for her.

As we watched the trio head towards security I interlocked our fingers together, "What if we moved to America?" I asked.

"For Sapnap?" She teased. I pulled her along as our feet walked in unison towards the sliding front doors of the airport.

"No, for you," She gave me a puzzled look, "So you can be with my brother and be all happy and shit."

"What happened to us being 'disgusting'." She used air quotes to mock my recent words.

I shrugged, "It's not so bad, I guess. You make him happy, he makes you happy. Distance tears people apart..." My mind was brought back to the moment my heart broke five years ago.

"Oh, love, absolutely not," She said, spinning around as her arms were held out, breathing in the fresh air, "Distance only makes the heart grow fonder."

"No poetic shit, get in the car." She let out a groan before following suit and plopping herself into the passenger seat.

As we drove she sang along to whatever songs Kiara played and reminisced about the memories we made while the guys visited.
