I tried making this as fluffy as possible 😂😂

   Claire went into a book store, skimming through books.
   A certain book caught her attention. A black leather book, no title.
   Claire reached out for the book, but bumped hands with someone going for the same book, "S-Sorry.." She pulled her hand away and was about to walk to a different shelf.
   "Wait, miss. You wanted this book right?" A man asked.
   Claire turned around and looked at the smiling man. "Ah, I was just looking."
   "I was as well." He held out the book to her. She took it and looked up at him.
   "Thank you." She smiled and went to the cashier.
   Turns out the book wasn't the store's, so she got the book for free.
   Claire arrived home. "Zane? I'm home." She walked past the closet, which was cracked open slightly.
   Claire's curled hair bounced slightly as she walked, she called her big brother again.
   Something attacked her from behind, "Boo!!!"
   She shrieked then started laughing as Zane started tickling her.
   After the excitment died down, Zane ruffled her hair, "Where have you been?" Claire got a look on her face, then her brother knew she was going to fan girl.
   "Guess who met Ashton Singers?" She contained her excitement as much as she could. But failed soon after. She let out a squeal.
   "Is that the model guy? Or what?" Zane asked, smirking, knowing Claire was going to blow up at him. She ran to her room and grabbed her pile of magazines and ran back to him.
   "Yes! The model guy," She growled. "Cool. So what? Did you run into him and get a nose bleed?" Zane laughed at his own comment.
   "This is real life not anime, Zane!!!" She shouted, laughing a little. He laughed louder.
   Once everything cooled down (again), Zane went and cooked dinner.
   "You know, I told myself I would wait for you to get home to eat. Looks like that was a mistake," He smiled. She shrugged and sat at the table, looking at her phone.

"Hey, it's Ashton. Are you still awake?" 7:38 pm

   "Yeah, I'm still awake. Zane's cooking dinner." 7:41 pm

"Oh, cool. Is Zane your boyfriend?" 7:41 pm

   "No!!! He's my brother. Lol." 7:41 pm

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry." 7:42 pm

   "It's okay. How are you doing?" 7:42 pm

"I'm good, dinner hasn't been made yet either." 7:43 pm

   "What? Don't you have maids or something?" 7:43 pm

"No. Not every famous person has maids, Claire." 7:44 pm

   "Oops. Want to come over then? Zane's making spaghetti." 7:44 pm

"Ooh, alright. What's your address?" 7:44 pm

   "(Insert random address 😂)" 7:45 pm

"Okay. I'll be over in ten minutes." 7:46 pm

   She looked up from her phone and at her brother. "We'll have company in about ten minutes."
   He just shook his head and laughed, "Who?"
   She mumbled. Zane turns around to face her. "Who?" He asks again.
   "Ashton.." She had a smug look on her face. Zane immediately grew an unsatisfied look.
   "You know I don't like other boys here unless I know them." He glared. She just shrugged.
   Zane kinda can have one of those looks that just burns into your soul. It used to be scary when she was younger, but now she just think of him as a half motherly figure. Protective brother-mother.
   She smile to herself and Zane tilts his head curiously, "What?"
   She giggled and get up to walk to him. She got close to his ear and whispered, "Protective brother-mother."
   Quickly, Claire ran to the door and went outside. Zane has to stay inside to watch the spaghetti.
   As she sat on the steps, her thoughts racing, then come to a sudden stop when she saw headlights.
   She ran up to the red Ferrari and wave excitedly. "Hi!!," She nearly shouted.
   Ashton gave a crooked smiled and got out of the car after turning it off, "Sup, Beaut?"
   She shove him lightly and ran to the door, he chases after.
   Slipping off her shoes, she ran to the kitchen, giggling. Ashton came in after a few minutes, slipping off his shoes.
   Zane had just finished cooking, he was grabbing plates and forks. He looked at the two of them.
   Ashton stood beside Claire. She tapped his shoulder and motioned for him to lean down, due to him being too tall, she whispered, "Hey. Zane can get over protective sometimes- scratch that, alot. So be careful. Though I would like to see you make him mad."
   Ashton smiled and straighed his back. Zane gave him a glare and sighed. "Dinner's ready."
   He stated, getting Claire a plate and himself. He gave Claire her plate and then went to sit down.
   Claire sat her plate down and grabbed Ashton's hand, dragging him behind the counter, "Sorry, like I said. Protective. He'll warm up soon enough... Hopefully."
   Ashton nodded and stretched, then wrapping an arm around Claire causally, whistling and looking around.
   Zane looked over and inhaled, then started coughing. Claire ran over and started rubbing circles on his back.
   Zane suddenly stopped coughing and tackled Claire. She screamed out of surprise. Zane put Claire behind him, and was on his hands and knees.
   Ashton had ran over and was standing in front of Zane. Zane started growling and snarling. Ashton put his hands up and slowly backed up.
   Claire jumped on Zane. He flipped over onto his back. Claire growled at him and Zane growled back. He shoved her off and held her down. Ashton just watched the siblings fight. Zane grabbed Claire's hair, which she yelped and growled at. She kicked him off, as she got up, she slipped but still made it up. She ran behind Ashton.
   Ashton looked down at her and saw her eyes had changed. From blue eyes to a honey color.
   Ashton didn't look fazed at all. He just got curious, nothing more. Zane had the same colored eyes as he looked over.
   He snarled at his peeking sister. She whined and hid behind Ashton.
   He looked at Zane and spotted Zane's sharp canines. Ashton smirked and went onto his hands in the same position Zane had done. Taken back, Zane tilted his head in confusion. Taking the few seconds, he jumped on Zane. They tumbled and rolled along the floor.
   Claire was smiling, Zane was finally warming up. This is how he shows it. He always starts to play fight when he begins to trust someone or he trusts them completely.
   Soon, they both finish fighting and get up.
   Ashton ended up getting kicked in the nose by accident and he got a bloody nose. Once it stopped, he cleaned his face.
   "I'm hungry!" Ashton shouted in a squeaky voice, making Claire laugh.

   After dinner, Ashton was about to head out when Claire tugged on his shoulder, "It's snowing pretty have outside. Why don't you stay in the guest bedroom?"
   Ashton smiled, "Sure." Claire lead him to the guest bedroom.
   "You can borrow Zane's clothes if they fit!" Claire shouted, running to her brothers room.
   She came back with silky checkerboard pajama pants and a stretchy black shirt.
   "Thank you," Ashton said, closing the door. He tried fitting the shirt on but it hugged to his skin to tight for his liking. He took it off and put it on the dresser beside the bed. He tried on the pajama pants. Perfect fit.
   Ashton smiled weakly, "Claire's just like Sarah..." With that, he turned off the light and climbed under the covers.
