Kira and Melody (age 6 and 9)
Thunderstorms:
Oneshot, Melody and Kira as Kids. Ezio is on a hunting trip, leaving a 9 year old Melody to look after a 6 year old Kira.
I never liked thunderstorms, they reminded me far to much of the hazy memories I had of Fastoon being attacked, with the loud bangs and flashing lights. Nuova isn't the warmest of planets to begin with, but with a storm this bad, it was positively freezing. I listened to the wind howling like a Leviathan outside and the pitter patter of the rain against the window, drumming a soft lullaby. My eyes drooped.
I woke with a start when I felt a small, cold hand resting on my arm. I panicked for a moment, before making out the small figure of my little (unoficially adopted) sister silhouetted against a brief flash of lightning.
"M-mewody.." She whispered. "I'm scawed..what if Daddy doesn't come back..?"
I blinked, reached for the night light and switched it on, giving the room a soft glow of light, making it feel almost safer.
"Daddy always comes back, Ki, always. He promised." She didn't look convinced and merely clutched her teddy tighter. She shivered more violently, and fresh tears spurted down the tiny girl's face.
I sighed and peeled back the covers from my legs. "Here, come in here with me," I told her gently. She nodded and slid underneath the sheet, and I tried not to squeak as her icily cold feet touched my knees.
I wrapped my arms around her stroked her hair gently, humming a soft tune I made up on the spot. There was a long silence (aside from the cacophony outside), and just as I was certain she asleep,a tiny voice rang out.
"I wuv you, sis…" Kira mumbled sleepily.
I smiled. "I love you too, Ki."
Soon soft snores joined the weather music as sleep took us.
/A.N. OCs this time :D Their relationship was more sisterly when they were younger, but grew apart as they grew older ,3,/
