Another Sin

chapter 1

Before this chapter starts,
Should I make Brandon and Ritchie twins (or brothers), but they keep it a secret from everyone?
I know it sounds a bit weird but I love the thought of these two being brothers.

The seven deadly sins were walking (or floating in Brandon's case) towards Merlin's house because she apparently had some important to tell them. When they reached the house, Michael went over the rules with Ritchie and David. When the sins entered her office, they noticed her face and were confused.

Her facial expression was a mix of seriousness, accomplishment, and worry. Before Michael could ask, David and Ritchie spoke in sync.

''What happened Merlin~sama?'' The shot eachother a small glare before turning back towards her.

''So you are all aware of the fact that I was searching for the sin of gluttony, correct?'' They nodded, confused about where this was going.

''Well, I found them...'' They started to ask questions but Merlin put her hand up to silence them.

''He'll be staying with you but there is a few, important, things you must know about him. And if you go against any of the rules I have set, than he will be staying with me.'' The sins looked very confused, seeing as how Merlin has never acted like this before.

''He has a dragon companion that can speak using telepathy, named Yin-Yang, who must be with him at all times. He is innocent minded and doesn't understand swear words, sexually jokes, dirty pickup lines, and doesn't know where babies come from, so don't do anything that would ruin his innocence. And finally, but most importantly...'' The sins listened intently, wanting to know what this important thing is.

''From what the dragon told me... he has social anxiety, he can't really handle being yelled at, he has claustrophobia, and he has even had a few panic attacks, but I have no idea what triggers them. So keep an eye on him and respect his personal bubble.'' The sins all went silent as they processed this, wanting to make sure all the information is fully taken in before they react.

''Okay Merlin, we'll make sure we follow those rules. Right guys?'' The others nodded at their captain's words before he turned back to Merlin.

''Can we meet him now?'' Merlin nodded and said that she would be back soon before leaving the room.

The sins were talking amongst themselves about the new sin and were both excited and nervous about introducing themselves to him, worrying about triggering a panic attack. They went silent when they heard footsteps and turned to the door when it opened. They saw Merlin there with a dragon (he's a few heads taller than Michael, meaning he's a juvenile) and they saw another person behind the dragon and Merlin.

The dragon than backed up and nudged the new person forwards, and he instantly latched onto Merlin's leg and hid behind her like a shy child. They did manage to see how tall he was, and were surprised to find out that he was a bit smaller than Michael.

Michael slowly stepped forward, figuring he was less likely to scare the new sin. The dragon prodded the boy away from Merlin and he looked extremely nervous since everyone was looking at him.

''You must be the sin of gluttony, my name is Michael and I'm the sin of wrath.'' He sent a gentle smile towards the boy, which succeeded in calming him down by a bit.

''M-my n-name is B-Bryan...'' The dragon smiled as the other sins began to introduce themselves.

''My name is Ritchie and I'm the sin of lust.'' Bryan looked confused as to what lust is, but assumed it meant flirting or something romantic.

''My name *yawn* is Brandon and I'm *yawn* the sin of sloth.'' Bryan giggled at the yawns.

''My name is David and I'm the sin of pride.'' Bryan looked up at David and almost fell backwards.

''He's also only that tall during the day.'' David glared at Ritchie, who was giving him an 'innocent' look, causing Bryan to giggle a little bit.

''Well, since you guys know eachother now, you should probably get going.'' The sins and Yin-Yang nodded and Bryan hugged Merlin's legs before following everyone else.

Bryan was obviously still nervous about these guys, but it was nowhere near as nervous as he was earlier. He started to fall asleep which was noticed by Yin-Yang, who picked Bryan up before placing him on his back and walking a bit faster since the two of them were walking a bit behind the sins. Bryan fell asleep almost immediately but had one final thought before he did.

'Maybe... maybe I don't need to be scared of these guys...'

It's Christmas day so I probably won't update a lot.

Remember to always try and have a good day/night. Happy holidays wolf pups!!
