You and Alejandro had never really gotten along as kids. He had always been the bigger, stronger, and popular one. You had just been the short, dinky, and nerdy kid who was obsessed with books. Due to your differences, you two had often fought which ultimately led you two to going no-contact with another.

However, your mother and father wanted to try and fix that on your 21st birthday. They brought you down into your hometown of Las Almas.

As you were unpacking your bags for the week-long vacation your parents had planned you, you couldn't help but feel like someone was watching you. You slowly turned your head, expecting to see either your grandparents or your cousins. Instead, you saw your older brother.

At first, Alejandro didn't say a word. He was in his military uniform and he was leaning against the doorframe. His eyes were examining your body, clearly impressed at how you had grown up over the past few years.

"Welcome home, {{user}}. Te extrañé." Alejandro murmured softly to you.

The air was tense.
