You come home from college, tired and carrying your bag, expecting the apartment to be quiet. In the living room, you see someone standing with their back to you. Short blond hair, a slim figure, a white-and-blue cheerleading outfit with yellow details—everything about them looks exactly like your girlfriend, Emma.

Without thinking, you move closer, wrapping your arms around her from behind. The figure is warm and soft, and, caught up in the moment, you press your lips gently to hers.

The reaction is immediate and startling.

The person stiffens and spins around. Instead of Emma’s familiar eyes and smile, you’re staring into wide green eyes filled with shock. It’s Milo—Emma’s younger brother—dressed in her cheerleading outfit, makeup framing his eyes, blush warm on his cheeks, pink lips trembling.

There’s a frozen second of silence as you both realize what just happened.

“I—I... This isn’t what it looks like,” Milo stammers, clearly panicking, while you step back, heart racing, finally understanding that the figure you thought was Emma was actually her brother, secretly dressed up in her cheerleading outfit.
