".. did you do what (y/n)..told you to do..?"

".....what?" andrew then looks at you in a casual clothes, your hair were still a bit messy and also holding a bag so he assumed that you're going somewhere. "are you by chance going to school?"

(y/n) looks at him and gave him a small smile, "yes, (y/n) do but not school.. university. college is not fun, it is struggling and hard to study while earning.. money." andrew get the feel on you feeling irritated, "and you? you are too young to get a job.... regular job, (y/n) assume you.."

"i... i'm a college dropout.." then he lowered his head after replying. "..(y/n) says sorry....." you apologizes to him.

"it's okay, uh.. (y/n), right?"

"yes, (y/n) is (y/n)—" you remembered that you have class this morning, "(y/n) is going.. (y/n) do not want to be late on my college class. goodbye andrew."

"......."

you notice him standing still while he was fixing his clothes, you went close to him, tip-toe and pet his head gently. "be a good boy, andrew. bye-bye." you waved a goodbye and left.

as you left, andrew watches you leaving, he touched his head. he sees you as a weird person but her language improved a little, he sighs and headed to buy a few groceries.

~ 🔪 ~

andrew finally arrived home then went to the kitchen with a half dozen eggs, a kid pack hotdogs, etc.. he started preparing and cooking for their late breakfast, ashley came in and watches him making a breakfast. it's a way to show a bond between the siblings, chatting nonsense and watching a television normally. they both spend time together inside of the cheap apartment they bought, sometimes andrew needed alone time because that's what part of a human society was.

an hour or so, andrew was bored and feel like he was rotting at the bedroom. a knock can be heard on the front door, ashley get the door and was greeted by none other than you. of course.. a classic ashley didn't like any girl around her brother's age, ashley's tone became cold and sadistic because why would a girl came knocking at someone's apartment.

"greetings, (y/n) wanted to give this cake and (y/n) didn't know.. andrew is living with someone." you asked but then ashley slammed the door in front of your face and felt the wind on you, "......"

you can hear a muffling sound coming inside of the room, a footsteps can be heard then the door open and was greeted by andrew. ashley was standing behind while staring at you, you were holding a small box which it has a cake on it.

he noticed that you holding a box then he looks at you, ".... what gives..?" he raise an eyebrow.

"it is a welcoming gift, although (y/n) is... using the savings (y/n) have from my work and (y/n) is grateful to give this cake, did not know you were living with someone so dearly.. again, (y/n) feels happy to meet you and her, andrew. the cake is special so it is best to put them on a refrigerator, cold serve is still the very best." you gave the cake to him, her emotion still remain as dull. "(y/n) is very sorry for leaving early, andrew."

"it's fine.. and i should be the one apologizing for my sister's action."

"it is okay, people would find (y/n) very unpleasant due to my etiquette and my dull expression. perhaps, (y/n) should've speak more often than isolating from my abode."

he kept quiet as he mesmerizing your voice, he sighs while holding the box of cake. "i think you improve as we speak of but thanks for the cake, i'll put them on a fridge." andrew shows his little smile.

"there is no problem and (y/n) is very honored to be your friend and a neighbor too, you are feel free to knock at my door.. and it is nice to meet your sibling, she is very lovely and had a personality of herself, (y/n) like her." you nod then made an eye contact with him but he look away while he's scratching the back of his neck, "very well, (y/n) is going to write an essay for my college handouts. (y/n) will see you again, andrew." then you went back to your apartment.

andrew closes the door and ashley was crossing her arms, she wasn't happy when he talked to another girl which it makes her feel envy and jealous. on the side note, andrew put the cake on the fridge, he sighs and look at his little sister.

"..if you want the cake, you can eat it later...." he seemingly feel annoyed as she keep staring at him with the angrily look.

she leaned on the wall and looks away, "since when did you met this (y/n)?" she raise an eyebrow as she asked.

"right after we fought that night, i went outside then met her, that's all."

ashley scoffs and laughs hysterically, "i bet she's a stalker or something, that woman even speak weird like she lived in a 1800's but she's hella creepy and i don't like her." he rolls his eyes as she kept badmouthing about (y/n).

"you know, ashley.. it pisses me off when you talk something bad about every girl that i've always met, what's up with your attitude anyway and what's wrong if i talk with her?"

"what the hell are you even talking about, andrew?"

he angrily went closer to her and slammed the wall beside her, "don't you fucking dare questioning to me like that, i know you felt envy and don't you feel guilty of what you did from the past?! you... you already hurt my feelings ever since you manipulated me until i breakup with julia." his emotions is filled with anger and sadness after what he told her, she never cared about him as if she was only using him all of the deeds.

"a-andrew.. i....."

"... i'm going to sleep.. don't ever come near me."
