Silent Whispers (Human Nightmarionne X Reader)

Chapter 2: Home sour home

As you close the door, you hear your parents talking.

" - What do you think honey? Should I place the garland here or there?

- As you wish. 

- Of course it is as I wish, but do you have any preference?

- I don't."

You find them in the living room. Your mom doesn't know whether she should place a wreath above the fireplace or one millimeter higher than its current position. As for your dad, you know he has never been fond of decorations, they actually exhaust him. They turn to you as soon as you enter the room.

" - Good evening.

- Good evening. Can I help you with with the ornaments?

- There's no need, don't worry.

- Where's Brian?

- Brian is in the kitchen.

- Okay, thanks."

Your brother, Brian, is a short-brown-haired bearded guy who's 2 years older than you. His brown eyes hide behind black rectangular glasses. As you enter the kitchen, he barely looks at you, too focused on his phone.

" - Hey.

- Yo.

- Talking with one of your numerous ex-girlfriends?

- Mind your own business[, man]."

You shrug and head towards your bedroom, dropping your school bag onto a chair before sitting down on your bed. Afterwards, you go to the bathroom and have a shower then change into a more casual outfit. Once you're done, you get back to your bedroom but as soon as you settle down, someone knocks on your door. 

"Come in."

Your sister enters the room. She is 10 years younger than you and has mid-length wavy brown hair with blue eyes. She's wearing white trousers with a pink sweater.

" - Hi, sister/brother/sibling!

- Hey, Aurelia! How are you?"

She rushes to you and wraps her small arms around you.

" - I'm fine, how about you?

- I'm okay.

- Can you play with me?"

You sigh.

" - I'm sorry sis, but I have to do my homeworks.

- That's unfair!

- I can't decide that, though."

She gets out of the room, surely angry because she can't play with you at the moment. Half an hour later, you get called for supper. 

During the meal, no one really talks. Your siblings and you just tell some stuff that happened to each of you at school, but nothing much. It has always been this way. Most of time, when you relate some of the events that happened to you, your mother doesn't listen to you, too busy thinking about her work, or in this case, Halloween's decorations.

After supper, Brian and you play outside with Aurelia. She wants to create a roleplay in which she is the princess, Brian's the prince and you are... her horse. She uses a jump rope as reins and wraps it around your waist, shaking both sides of it whenever she wants you to start walking or speed up. You are exhausted after a while, so you switch roles with your brother. Thereof gets annoyed but feels forced to obey your sister's orders, as she always screams when something doesn't go the way she wants. 

Finally, after playing like this for an hour, you have to go to bed.

Tomorrow is another day.
