I wrote this in like 5 minutes. A drabble about my new storyline obsession of HoA. Enjoy :)
Despite
She doesn't know why they fight.
No one does. It's just the way they are. He picks on her, she pranks him back. Nothing has ever really changed over the years. When they were young it was simpler. He would pull her hair, trip her in the hall, take the last cookie. She would fire back by blaming him for breaking something, or tying his shoes together.
As they got older their pranks became more elaborate. Blackmailing was the most common. It was so easy to blackmail him. He would do anything to stay out of trouble. Not that anyone paid any attention to them unless they were in trouble.
During the school year, it was always so lonely. They weren't able to prank each other. There was nobody to drive her crazy, or pick on her. Life just went on as normal.
He always claimed how much he hated her. That she was the bane of his existence. He never talked about her, never mentioned her name. Not that she wanted him to. If he ever did say anything about her, it was never anything good. There were days when she would say the same things to him, but deep down she was just mad. She never really meant it.
And she was pretty sure he didn't mean it either.
Despite the fact that he was never nice to her. Despite the fact that he picked on her constantly. Despite the fact that they argued every time they were around each other. He was her big brother.
And despite everything that happened between them, she wouldn't have it any other way.
