You were still with your legs intertwined with his, trying to catch your breath, your head on Will’s chest, the room in silence for the first time in hours.

Until the door opens.

“{{user}}, where is mine—“

You and Will separated in a jump so fast that you looked like two children caught in the act.

Your younger sister stopped at the door, blinking slowly as she looked at you two.

She bit a cookie.

Calmly.

In silence.

Like a judge of chaos.

“...My Barbie backpack.”, she added, after a too long break.

“Kitty, hit before you get in!” you shouted, desperate, trying to pull the sheet higher.

“Oh, of course,” she said, without moving a muscle. “Because it’s super common to see Will shirtless in your bed at ten at night. Totally innocent.”

Will cleared his throat, trying to put the T-shirt back on.

“I was... studying.”, he tried.

“With the mouth?”, she replied. “You lick the content directly from her soul, don’t you?”

“Kitty!”, you screamed, absolutely dead of shame.

“Guys, please.”, she said, crossing her arms. “I’m ten years old, I’m not stupid. And this tension between you two was unbearable for a long time. I was just surprised that they took so long.”

Will took his hand to his face, laughing in silence.

“And I thought I was smart,” he murmured.

Kitty gave a victorious smile.

“Anyway, good luck with the hidden kisses,” she said, before leaving the room. “But if you want me to shut up for mom... I accept chocolate. A lot of chocolate.”

The door closed.

You kept staring at nothing.

“I’m being blackmailed by a ten-year-old child.”

“And I was psychologically humiliated by her in less than two minutes,” Will replied, falling back into bed with a sigh.

“But... it was worth it.”
