>The yelling continues as you maintain a strong connection with your pillow.
>The screams don't stop, you've never heard her scream that hard, you're just hopeful they both stop soon.
>The blanket is over you just in case they come in your room they'll think you're asleep.
>There are still tears in your eyes though.
>You shrink even further as the volume of their argument intensifies for just a moment.
>When that's done you hear stomping over the room opposite yours and a door slam.
>Afterwards, a softer conversation is barely audible.
>You're crying openly now.
>The door opening catches you off guard.
>"Anon?"
>Holding your breath, you try with everything you have not to move.
>A few moments pass, and you swear you're about to blow it.
>Thankfully, the door clicks.
>You wait a little bit before letting out again.
>The guilt was still fresh on your mind.
>It was your fault.
>If you weren't such a wimp you could've stood up for yourself.
>But instead, you had to have your own sister do it for you.
>Your SISTER.
>She was always tougher than everyone else, but still.
>And now look.
>She's being sent to a separate building, maybe even expelled for fighting.
>Because of you.
>You cry harder.
>Even now, you still can't stop being such a sissy.
>How could she even defend someone like you?
>She should've just let you get pumbled like you were supposed to.
>At least then she wouldn't be in trouble.
>You can hear her cries from the other room now.
>You've- you've never seen her cry...
>Something in you clicks.
>Getting out of the pile in your bed, you move to the door.
>After checking to see if dad was there, you cross the hallway to her room.
>The sounds are even more obvious just outside.
>Being mindful, you knock softly.
>"GO AWAY!"
>You freeze in place.
>Maybe you should listen to her..
>Hear the sniffles again.
>No.
>It had to be done.
>You knew the secret way to unlock her door, but you didn't think about it.
>Slowly, you pushed inside.
>The instant you fully enter she glares at you.
>"Are you deaf?! I said-"
>She stops when she sees you.
>"Shit. Anon, I umm."
>She clears her throat.
>"So uh, what's up?"
>It seems she's trying to play it off.
"I-I heard.."
>She sighs.
>"Yeah, sorry about that. Were you scared?"
>You nod.
>"Want to stay with me?"
>Motion no.
"I heard you."
>She cocks her head.
>"Heard me?"
>Nod.
"It sounded like- you were crying."
>Expect she'll deny it, like she always does with embarrassing things.
>Instead she sighs.
>"Yeah. I didn't mean to bother you."
"I was worried."
>She smiles at you.
>"Thanks, but you don't need to do that. I'm supposed to take care of you. Not the other way around."
>You look at her.
"B-but I got you in trouble."
>"Says who?"
>She seems really concerned, ready to do it again, which kinda scares you.
"Well, you wouldn't be here if I could just protect myself."
>She shushes you.
>"Don't you ever say that Anon. You're just a kid. You shouldn't have to stand up to guys like us."
"Bu-"
>You couldn't think of a counter to that.
>"Now where's my hug?"
>You close the distance and embrace her.
>And so you both stay there for a while, comforting each other silently.
>Something comes to mind though.
"Rainbow?"
>"Yep?"
"How long are grounded for?"
>She scoffs.
>"Anon you know I can't be grounded."
>She says this with confidence.
>You didn't know it, but it would start to rub off on you.
"What about school? Are you getting expelled?"
>She looks at you.
>"Let me tell you a secret Anon."
>She lean into your ear.
>"As long as you don't go to far and you don't throw the first punch, the worst they can give you is detention."
>You smile.
"So you'll be okay?"
>"Uh, yeah I'll be okay."
>Relief comes over you.
>Finally, there's only one thing you need to know.
"Why were you yelling?"
>You're a little embarrassed at your less than smooth requesting.
>"Oh."
>She recalls the recent event.
>"Let's just say me and dad don't exactly see things the same."
>Good enough for you.
>You exhale and lay on her warm bed.
>All this combined with the comfort of her blankets puts you to sleep.
>It would've been humiliating if you were awake.
>Good thing you're not.
 
>Be Rainbow Dad.
>It's been a while since your argument with Dash.
>The guilt has been eating your insides for a while now.
>Your wife tried to kept telling you it was the right thing to do, but you're not sure.
>She's asleep now.
>Getting out of bed you head towards Anon's room.
>From what Dash said and what the school told you, she was just trying to defend the him.
>Seems she sent that boy to the hospital.
>That was your main concern.
>While it was definitely extreme, it wasn't unjustified.
>Entering, you see Anon's not there.
>Nearly panic.
>He's been through a lot.
>Check his room.
>Empty.
>It wasn't like him to runaway, so you keep calm.
>Across from his, was dash's room.
>...
>Hopefully she's in a good mood.
>You knock.
>No response.
>It's unlocked though.
>You enter.
"Dash?"
>You let out all your worries in a sigh.
>On the bed was the girl in question, and just as important, Anon.
>Guess the apology will have to wait.
>You go up to take Anon to bed.
>He mumbles and snuggles harder into her.
>Well...
>Probably best to just leave.
>But not before pulling the blanket over them.
