>You are Anonymous. >And you have fuck all to do today. >Stuck at home with nothing to do, you lay in bed and think. >You think about a few things. >About school, friends, plans, girls. >Well, one girl in particular. >Dammit! You know you shouldn’t think of her like that. >She’s your sister, for fucks sake! >But you know you can’t lie to yourself. >Shitty pokerface and all. >At first, she was just your annoying older sister. >But then puberty hit. >And it fucking hit. >She got tall and lean, almost like her body was trying to be even more aerodynamic. >Not that it mattered. She wasn’t captain of the track team for nothing. >Everything about the way she was built screamed fast. >Hell, even the way her rainbow-colored hair blew as she ran. >It looked like a real rainbow was coming from her. >There you go again, thinking about your sister. >Frustrated to no end, you finally admit it. Out loud, at that. “I have a thing for my sister!” >”Oh really now?”   >Mother >Fuck. >”What was that, Squirt?” >gottagofast.gif >You bolt up to your room. >But it’s no use. She blasts past you in the blink of an eye. >And for the split second you got a glimpse of her, she was the most beautiful person you’ve ever seen. >She just looks so… >Happy. >Like when she runs, she doesn’t have a care in the world. >And that hair. >An exercise in futility if you’ve ever had one. >She’s up to your door in ten seconds flat. >But you’re going too fast to stop, so you end up careening into your sister, toppling you both over. >You land on top of her, and for a second, you just stare in to her magenta eyes, lost in their gaze. >She lifts you off of her. >”All right, game over, kid. What’d you just say?” >Shit. “Uhhh… That I bought a thing for my sister! Yeah! I bought you a birthday present.” >”You /do/ know my birthday isn’t for another eight months, right?” >Welp. You’re fucked. Game over, man. Game over. >”Wait. I think I just figured it out.” >You’re sweating bullets at this point. >”Aww, little Anon has a crush. That’s so adorable!” “Dammit, Dash. Just drop it.” >And with that, you push her out, and slam the door. Hard. >You bury your face under your pillows and hope to the princesses this is all a dream.   >You are Rainbow Dash. >And you are >AWE—slightly confused. >You came home from work, to hear the seven words you never thought you’d hear come out of your little brother’s mouth. >Now, he /is/ only a year younger than you. >And not really that bad-looking. >In fact, he’s kinda cut- >Cut that shit out right now. >Just because your brother’s being strange doesn’t mean you have to sink to his level. >Is that really what that is, though? >Before you do any deep, philosophical thinking, you should probably get out of the hall. >You walk to your bedroom, not bothering to close the door behind you. >You pick up a book off the floor. >”Incest for Dummies” “heheh…” >You blush and shove that /all/ the way back under your bed. >No need for that to be out. >Not that anyone was looking. >After the accident, you and Anon were the only ones left. >Your mom and dad didn’t make it. >You sigh a little bit, and feel kinda down, but you’ve gotten over it by now. >So it’s just you and him. >Poor kid doesn’t even have any friends. >He may kinda cute, but he has no social skill whatsoever. >It doesn’t help that he’s living in his sisters shadow, you remind yourself.   >It had always been hard for him, you realize. >He was always having to live up to the expectations of your parents. >Expectations that you helped set. >Whenever you needed someone to talk to, he was always there, ready to help. >But you could never find the time to introduce him to some of your friends, >Show him how cool it is to be Rainbow Dash’s brother. >But all you did was show him just how shitty it was. >Shit. >Were you really that bad of an older sister? >Thinking back even farther, you remember back to when you both were little. >He’d always get picked on for having the same colored hair as you. >He used to wear it with pride, saying how cool you were, and that you were the best sister ever. >Now he dyes it, trying to hide who he is. >like he’s trying to push himself as far away from you as possible. >You’re deep in thought when a knock on your doorframe brings you back. >”Hey, uh sis? Could you, maybe… forget you heard anything? >Tears in his eyes at this point. >”I have a hard enough time around people as it is, and I…” >You never hear the end to that sentence, as he runs off. >You get up to give chase, and are fully prepared to go in there and hold him like mom used to do. >But you think better of it for a moment. >You press your ear up to the door, and between sobs, you can make out >”I don’t want to lose my sister.” >You stand there and whisper “And I don’t want to lose my brother.”   I think I might keep this in RD’s perspective, to try and add some variety and appease those who asked for it.   >You open the door, not bothering to knock. >Walking in, you pull him from his bed, eyes bloodshot and cheeks stained by tears that were until just a few seconds ago, flowing freely. >And with a quick peck on his forehead, you leave again. >The both of you share a dirty secret, but he can’t know that you feel the same. >Well not yet anyway. >You’re pretty sure you’d have to broach that topic with delicacy. “Not like I can just up and tell him.” >You’d made a habit of thinking some things out loud. It just helped somehow. >At least school was out for the summer in a few days. >That gives you more one-on-one time with him. >And that’s good, because from what you’ve seen so far, he’s not just little Anon, your kid brother anymore.   >You are Anon, and you feel better. >Well, a little bit anyway. >And you’re more than a little bit hungry. >Your sister finding out about your dirtiest secret really takes a lot out of you.   >Walking to the kitchen, you fix up some dinner. >And by dinner, you mean a sandwich for you. >Screw it. Let’s make one for her, too.   >You are Rainbow again. >And you are not happy with what you’ve become. >Yeah, you’re the star athlete at school, >And yeah, you’ve had a pretty good senior year. >But your thoughts go back to how you are pushing your brother away. >Between school, (failed) relationships, and sports, you’re barely home. >And how you know jack shit about him right now. >Well, you know that he’s pretty anti-social, >And the basic stuff you can glean from conversations over dinner. >But other than that, he’s a mystery. >Damn. >You really are a bad sister.
