"I Once Believed Love Would Be Black And White But It's Golden" ~ Johnny Cade

Brother and sister moments

As the gang dispersed after the trip to the lake, I found myself sitting by the edge of the water, enjoying the serene beauty of the lake at dusk. The gentle lapping of the waves and the rustle of leaves in the breeze created a peaceful atmosphere.

Lost in my thoughts, I was surprised when Two-Bit appeared beside me, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Hey, Kiera," he said softly, taking a seat next to me.

"Hey, Two-Bit," I replied, smiling at my older brother. Despite our banter and teasing, I knew he always had my back.

We sat in comfortable silence for a moment, taking in the tranquil scene before us. Then, Two-Bit spoke up, his voice tinged with a touch of nostalgia.

"Remember when we used to come here as kids?" he asked, a wistful smile crossing his lips.

I nodded, memories flooding back of our childhood adventures by the lake. "Those were some of the best times, just the two of us exploring and having fun."

Two-Bit chuckled, a hint of mischief in his eyes. "Remember that time you fell into the lake trying to catch a fish?"

I laughed, recalling the incident vividly. "And you had to fish me out while trying not to laugh too hard."

Our conversation drifted to shared memories and experiences, a testament to the bond we shared as siblings. Despite our differences and occasional arguments, there was an unbreakable connection between us.

As the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, Two-Bit turned to me, his expression earnest.

"I know we don't always say it, but I'm glad you're my sister, Kiera," he said, sincerity evident in his voice.

Touched by his words, I smiled at him. "I'm glad you're my brother too, Two-Bit. Even if you do drive me crazy sometimes."

He grinned, giving me a playful nudge. "That's what big brothers are for, right?"

We sat together a while longer, enjoying the peaceful moment of sibling bonding by the lake. As we headed back to join the rest of the gang, I felt a renewed appreciation for the special relationship I shared with Two-Bit, a bond that would always be there no matter what life threw our way.
