Actions not Words (Will Herondale x OC)

Chapter 3

Dear Sophia,

How was Christmas? You got the most presents, but that is to be expected because you're the youngest. I can't believe you didn't realize that Johnny was the one to give it to you. His handwriting is the sloppiest out of all of us, and I'm counting your handwriting as well.

Love,

Older Sister

So thankful for all of you. I hope you have merry holidays.

Your future sociopath

Sophia's POV:

"Honestly Sophia! Must you always be so difficult?" Will sighed through the door.

I wrote on a piece of parchment before sliding it under the door, consider it my way of shouting through the door.

Are you one to talk about being difficult? the note said.

"Oh yes. Ha ha. Make fun of poor me, but you must know that I am not forcing your brother into doing this nor am I simply doing this because I pity him." Will replied, sliding the note back through the opening.

Oh yes. Poor you. Poor William. I know that you are not forcing my brother's hand. If anything, Jem was the one who locked you in a room full of ducks until you agreed. I am simply deciding to spend as much time with my brother before you steal him away to go on adventures and leave me behind to be bored.

"Why do you two continue to yell and pass notes with each other about me, when I am sitting right here?" Jem groaned, splayed out on the top of my sheets.

I threw my shoe at his leg and he peeked up. "Do not be so vain, brother dear. We are not arguing because for you. We are arguing because of you. Be grateful we are talking about you at all."

"I am highly offended!" Jem gasped before letting his head fall back onto the sheets.

"What are you two talking about? Let me in, Sophia! Jem help me!" Will shouted through the door.

Jem made a motion with his hand, signifying that it was time for me to stop playing around with his soon to be parabatai.

I unlocked the door and swung it open, catching Will off guard and causing him to fall onto his hands and knees.

"Thank you Jem." Will stated gratefully, brushing off the nonexistent dust from his knees.

"How do you know that I did not let you in out of the goodness of my heart?" I asked, feigning indignation.

"I'm not sure that there was any goodness to begin with." Jem admitted.

I laughed and flopped onto my bed on top of him.

"Oof!" Jem exhaled.

"Do not fear, my dear Jem! For I will rescue you from the foul beast!" Will exclaimed as he dove on top of all of us. We wrestled around before we all became too tired.

knock, knock

"Sophia, Will, Jem? Charlotte wants to see you in the study. And while you are at it, Sophia, please be more presentable." Jessamine drawled as she poked her head in with a wrinkle to her small nose.
