He put the call on speaker phone and placed it in front of me. He then cuddled behind me with one arm hugging himself and the other around my waist. His voice was muffled because he was speaking against my neck. "Let me catch some sleep, bro. It's 4AM."

'What the heck is he doing?!'

I stared at my phone with Arthur's caller ID on display as if it was glaring at me. But I couldn't move away because I was stunned by the thundering of my heart in my chest: something that it had forgotten to do for the longest time.

Arthur's voice echoed in my room. "Craige? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you're back? And what the hell are you doing in my sister's bed?"

Even after all these years, I still could not believe that I was only second in MY brother's priorities.

"Hehe." Craige lazily chuckled.

Arthur's tone went up with amusement. "Hehe?? Hehe?! What do you think are you doing?!"
