Never had a friend before (Linhardt x Reader)

This continues the story of "Let us be friends"

"Sister."

No response. 

"Flayn?"

Still nothing. 

"Flayn?!" 

You lightly shook said girl in a failed attempt to wake her up. A horrible feeling of familiarity washed over you. 

"Cethleann!"

At this her eyes finally fluttered open. Unfortunately for you both, she woke up startled and sat up quickly, hitting her head against yours. 

"Ow. Y/N? What is the matter? Is something wrong?" she asked, still recovering from the shock. 

"No, Flayn..." you said a bit embarrassed, "it is just that I called you and you would not wake up. It frightened me..."

Flayn smiled at you understandingly. "Well I am awake now." she said. "Want to go fishing?" 

Hearing this you immediately perked up. "That would be fantastic! Let me just-- oh no. We can't." you finished gloomily. 

"Why not?" she asked. 

"'Brother' usually goes fishing today." you frowned. 

Flayn shook her head, "You really should stop avoiding him."

Your anger threatened to boil over, but you held it back. "Maybe I will. Someday."

Besides, I would much rather avoid him, than to have to call him brother, you added in your head, last I checked we didn't have a 'brother'

Flayn sighed, "I was really looking forward to fishing today..."

You smiled at your sister, "You can go. Before you ask, yes, I will be alright."

"Have I ever told you that you are my favorite sister?" she said while hugging you tightly.

"I am your only sister." you said while hugging her back. 

Flayn then went off to join Seteth and you went off to get the book you'd recently found hidden in his office. 

You had found it the last time he was in a meeting with Rhea. However, you had left it behind, because you feared he would grow suspicious if he were to find the book missing. 

You arrived at his office and made sure no one was around to see you. You went inside and closed the door. 

Now came the tricky part.  You set down your bag next to the desk and got to work. You found the book where you had left it and took out another book from your bag. Both books were nearly identical an size and they were even about similar topics. Now you just had to switch the covers. You cut the seams connecting the covers to the pages with a lot of care. You got the needle and thread you had brought from your bag and sewed each cover on to the opposite book. 

You look at your completed work. It wasn't perfect, but it would at least buy you some time. 

You put the book you were taking and all of your things back into the bag making sure not to leave anything behind. 

As you put away the decoy book into it's hiding spot you took one last look at the cover: "The Curse of Saint Celestine"

You put your bag back on and headed out, looking back at the office to make sure there was no trace of evidence that anyone had been in there. When you were sure everything was in order you turned around to leave, only to come face to face with Linhardt.
