SEDUCTIVE | t.k.

it had been two weeks since they met alice, and let's just say she's been a reoccurrence. anytime the group hung out of school and not as a band practice, alice was there.

there was now constant flirting happening anytime viktoria or ilya wanted to hangout outside of school with the group. it started to annoy ilya too, he would snap at them to shut the fuck up. while alice made slight jabs to viktoria nobody noticed but herself. viktoria was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

yet now, alice was at band practices. the only place the group could break through the horniness both tom and her seemed to always have for eachother. any second they were free, in front of the band or not. her tounge was down his throat. it was gross, not even to just viktoria but the whole band.

so as the group was waiting for the latest make out session to end. viktoria decided to mutter a quiet, "i hate for him to be my brother" directed towards bill. who seemed to nod in agreement, he was tired of the girl.

"come on bill, viktoria and ilya need to leave soon" bill begged, wanting to get this practice over with. it should've only taken a hour, yet it has currently been going on for a little more than three. due to the constant breaks, talks, and waiting.

"we can finish it tomorrow, they can leave" tom replied breaking away from the girls face. shrugging as ilya looked like he was about to punch him. he wasn't even apart of the band, he didn't need to be there. yet he stayed in support, and getting dismissed like that felt backhanded.

so viktoria rolled her eyes, unplugged the amp, took her school bag and ilyas hand and left. they weren't wanted there, so it was best to leave. before one of the siblings start to lash out on the poor boy.

"i don't like alice" ilya said to viktoria, who hummed in response.

"why do you think i left the bookstore that day?" she replied, and everything in his head clicked. he knew she liked tom, he glances, bearing with his flirting, getting mad when he paid attention to other girls. sure it was normal behavior outside of having a crush. yet this was viktoria, she wasn't like that. she was closed off about her feelings, never expressing them.

"you like tom?" he asked, looking at viktoria who shrugged.

"of course, i wouldn't be in the band if i didn't like him. he's a great friend, all of them are" she said, kicking the pebble under her feet. she hoped the girl didn't ruin the bands relationship.

"no, as in you have a crush on him?" ilya clarified, and as soon as he said it viktoria stopped in her tracks. she looked like a deer caught in headlights. she was pondering it, she knew she liked him. there was attraction, jealousy, and flirting yet she never really categorised her feelings as a crush. maybe attraction or a distraction. it felt fun to chase someone, yet never to want to settle down. yet she would maybe for tom, to be in a relationship, to be girlfriend and boyfriend.

"i guess?" she replied, she expected ilya to freak out. to say if he dares tries to get with her he will fight him, make him show his worth. yet he hummed, it was in a really? way. he didn't disapprove yet he definitely didn't approve either.

"let's hope he can get his act straight? i'd hate to have to threaten him" ilya replied before walking into their house. viktoria never really said she loved her brother out front. sure she said 'i love you' but it was never something heartfelt. she felt like she owed him her world, and vise versa. she knew how much people hated how she talked about her brother any chance she could, maybe it was admiration or maybe because he was always there for her. yet he needed that recognition, he was her bestest friend. her ride or die.

"you know i love you ilya? like more than anything. if you died tomorrow, it would be the end of my world. you're the best person i could spend my life with. your my brother but you'll always be more than that" she said, as they sat down on his bed. he was her soulmate, not romantically or anything. but platonically, words couldn't describe the love that her heart held for him.

"i know vik. i love you more than anything, even mom and dad. i know we never really say it out loud but know you're the best person ever. i'll fight to get what you deserve" he whispered in her ear while hugging her. maybe it was the love in the air, or the confession of her admiration towards her brother. but she forgot all about tom and alice, sure it wasn't the right time to think about them anyways. yet everything felt right, everything felt in place in that moment.
