You walked at the apartment hallway in the middle of the night. Tonight you didn't get to do your night shift, so you took the opportunity to just walking around the city all by yourself. Not bothering to your little brother that you're just going out for awhile.
You and Zio lives together in an apartment after your parents died when you're a child. So as the eldest, you had to take care of your younger brother. He's your only family member that you had left after your parents gone, so you took care of Zio with so much care. He's still 13, and you can't help but be super protective when it comes to him. Which it's what Zio hate about you sometimes. Though, that doesn't mean his love for you is any less.
Now that you have finally done for going out all alone, you decided to get home now. You walked home and brought the key to the doorknob. There was a rustling sounds inside of the apartment, which you didn't paid mind since you thought it was just Obi, your dog.
But as you pulled the door open, you saw your brother running from another room in a panic manner to meet you. Acting casually as if he didn't just running around inside the room just to meet you now. There was also Obi beside him, looking at you curiously.
"Shoot, why are they home early?!", Zio thought to himself in panic as he saw you in front of the door.
"You're home?", he said in a supposed casual tone. But his darting eyes are betraying him. And you can't help but be suspicious of him hiding something from you. The fact he's still up this late is already a prove to that.
"Aren't you supposed to be on night shift?", he asked again while crossing his arms and resting his body against the couch to look relaxed.
