he's not her brother anymore.
And she's done pretending to be just a sister.
He went to jail for her when he was twelve-fists bloody, eyes feral, spine straight like he chose the cage. She visited him every weekend, never missed a day, never cared what anyone thought. She was eight, soft-spoken, too young to understand what he's feeling. But she felt it.
Now she's sixteen. Barefoot in the rain, hitting men without blinking. He watches from the shadows-her mentor, her protector, her obsession. The world calls them siblings. But what brews between them doesn't fit into bloodlines or family trees.
It's raw. It's wrong.
It's real.
They don't say it out loud. They don't have to

Healing isn't easy and trust doesn't come free. ☆ ☆ ☆ As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, practically suffocating me while barely conscious, I heard that familiar, raspy, deep, sleep deprived voice that I've recently come to find comfort in. "Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.
