Hello, people! ^^ Since a lot of people expressed a liking for our little OC, Hannah/Liana, and the cute moment with her older brother, Zach, we decided to write up a little short with the two. ^^ Might add more as time goes by, depending on the reception.
Long little legs swung back and forth quickly, running through a large room. Quiet giggles rang out as the body pertaining to the legs dove under a couch, folding up together, and a pair of long skinny arms wrapped around the pale legs. Blood red hair, messy and sweaty, covered the round head, framing a pale, dirty face spread wide in a grin revealing shining white baby teeth. Wide gray-blue eyes skimmed the part of the room the little child could see, waiting.
"Liana!" a pair of dark blue sneakers came into view, causing the hiding girl to giggle, trying to stay still in spite of her excitement. The voice chuckled lightly.
"Liana, you need your bath," the older boy pretended to look around, before swooping and grabbing Hannah's feet; the only thing she didn't manage to hide. Hannah's round face drooped in a frown when he pulled her out.
"No!"
The now sixteen year old Zach sighed.
"Liana, Ann said you have to."
"I doan care wha' Mommy said," the nearly naked little girl writhed as her older brother held her up at arms length, "I wanna play!"
The pale boy shook his head, "I know, but Ann says you have to."
Hannah's face scrunched up in thought for a moment, then she beamed up at him.
"You get in wif me! And splash the bubbles!"
Zach sighed, pulling Hannah close. She automatically wrapped her legs around his waist, helping to keep herself from falling off of him.
"Sorry, Lia', Ann said you're too old for that," Zach turned, and carried Hannah up the stairs, back to the large tub full of water. She gave a cry of protest.
"I is not too old! I doan even got school! I is littler enough!" she squirmed, kicking her long, thin legs, "Mommy wasn't where I was born, she don't know!"
Zach grinned, shaking his head, "You're a lot like my mom, you know that? Headstrong and always looking for loopholes."
She pouted as her tiny panties came off, and she climbed into the tub.
"But, Bruder!" he patted her head as she used the pet name she had come up for him, as she had trouble pronouncing his real name.
"No buts, Liana. I'll go get Zuna-"
"NO! I wan' you!" she grabbed his hand and tugged, hard.
Zach sighed, before shrugging. Let Ann punish him later on. He shuddered at the thought, but sat next to the tub and helped Hannah splash and laugh, and just generally get everything wet. Finally, after nearly half an hour, a wrinkled and soaked Hannah climbed out.
"I done," she giggled as Zach wrapped her pink towel around her, "I wanna sleep wif you tonight!"
"Hannah," she gave him an exaggerated jump when he used her original name, acting as though it surprised her, "Ann doesn't want you doing that anymore."
She whined loudly, "Bu' Daddy don't say nofing about it!"
"I know, but..."
She pouted, her eyes wide and shining, "Please?"
Darn. Never could beat that.
"Oh, fine. Let's get you dressed first," he picked her and she snuggled her face against his neck, yawning. He carried her across the hallway, into her large pink room, dropping her onto her pink bed. One side of the room was covered with windows, giving the little girl a view or the lake outside, while the other was covered with shelves of stuffed toys, courtesy of Ann. The walls were wallpapered with a light pink and light purple dandelion pattern, making the room undoubtedly a girl's room.
Hannah giggled and grabbed her fluffy pink stuffed rabbit, whom she had affectionately dubbed, "My Sweetie".
Holding it up above her, she fingered the blue glass eyes, humming a tuneless song.
"Liana," Zach pulled her up onto her feet, and she giggled as he threw the long nightie over her head.
"Uh-oh, where'd Liana go? Liana?" he smiled playfully as she struggled to pull the dress over her head.
"I is here! Help!" she grunted, tugging fruitlessly. He grinned, and discreetly grabbed the bottom edge, pulling it down with her. As soon as her face was free of cloth, she pouted, crossing her arms under the dress.
"You didn't help! I did it alone!" he laughed at her accusation.
"You did! You're a big girl, doing it on your own!" she beamed with the praise, jumping up and down on the bed, "But let's get your arms in now, shall we?"
She giggled, and shook her head, which granted her older brother permission to attack. Grinning, he jumped on the bed next to her, and caught her before she scrambled off and away.
She laughed loudly, knowing that his thin fingers were already finding her most ticklish spots. Zach grinned, a joy spreading through him that he had never found any where else, but with his little sister.
"Otay! Otay! Do my arms!" Hannah finally gave, laughing hard. He smiled, and quickly pulled her arms through the sleeves.
"Was that so bad?"
"Nuh-uh," she shook her head vigorously, before yawning.
"Time for bed?" He scooped her up, before dropping her flat on the bed. She nodded.
The lights were quickly shut off, and a nightlight Zach had made for her when she was younger played the soothing images of waves slowly crashing on a moonlit beach, accompanied by a soothing guitar song. Hannah soon yawned, and curled up next to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. He smiled softly, brushing her wet hair away from her face with his fingers. Soon, his eyelids grew heavy, and he began to drift off...until Hannah's little voice murmured against his chest, "I love you, Bruder."
He smiled, planting a kiss on her forehead, "I love you more..."
So, What do you think? Super "AW"s on our part. XD We enjoyed writing this, Oh, and see that thing-a-ma-hooky from Gift of Silence? X)
