RATING: PG13
SUMMARY: “Bee, you’re my baby sister and you know I love you to bits, right?”
I knew I was in my nightmare, because it started out happy. I was back to my six year old self, playing with my “My Little Pony” collection in the back of the family car. But it drastically changed as my step-mother started screaming and my father started yelling. I knew it was going to get even worse when Sho threw himself over me, covering my smaller body with his own young body. The sound was deafening; screeching tires, smashing metal and screaming.. Lots and lots of screaming. And then.. Nothing.
Until I saw my step-mothers face over Sho’s shoulder. Then it was me screaming.
I woke up with a start, my entire body trembling and tears falling down my cheeks. It had been a while since I dreamed of my parent’s death, and just like all of the times before, it shook me up so badly that I wouldn’t be able to get back to sleep.
Whimpering quietly with the effort of holding in my tears, I climbed out of my bed, holding my panda teddy close to my chest. I moved quickly down the hall to my brothers bedroom and knocked quietly.
A muffled moan answered me, and I pushed the door open an inch and peeked in.
“Nii-chan?” I said quietly, pushing the door open some more.
“Bee? What’s wrong?” Sho sat up, his eyes wide with worry and his hair spiked out all over the place from sleep. I gulped as his duvet fell down, revealing his bare chest. I couldn’t help but notice how defined his muscles were in the dim light coming from his window.
“Are you okay?”
I nodded, but could feel a tear escarping from my eye and dripping down my cheek. I tried to keep the whimper to myself, but Sho obviously heard it.
He opened his arms and I rushed straight to him, leaping onto his bed and practically falling onto his lap. He gathered me into his arms and held me to him as I clung to his strong arms.
“What happened?” He asked softly, stroking my hair.
“I dreamt.. About the accident,” I said softly, squeezing my eyes shut and leaning into his chest. I could hear his heart beat; it was a bit fast, but it was relaxing me.
“Oh, Bumblebee,” He said softly, almost under his breath.
I looked up at him, “Nii-chan, can I sleep with you for the rest of the night?”
Sho’s entire body jerked in surprise. In the light, it looked as if his face turned slightly pink, and his chest hitched with his breath.
“Of course,” He said eventually, “Let me put a t-shirt and pyjama bottoms on,”
He gently shifted me onto the bed next to him and swivelled his body away from me before pushing the covers from him and standing up. I could see the muscles ripple under his smooth skin as he moved and before I knew what I was doing, I was speaking.
“You don’t have to, Nii-chan,” I said, “You won’t be comfortable in them anyway. Besides, we’re family, right?”
Sho sighed and bent over, pulling on a pair of loose sweat pants. It was the pair that I always borrowed because they were so comfy, and he always let me; I was such a selfish sister
“It’s better that I put these on, at least,” He mumbled, before sliding in next to me, “And yeah, we’re family,”
He said that last sentence a bit bitterly, but I soon forgot that as he pulled the cover up over me, tucking me in.
As he lay down on his side facing me, I couldn’t help but wriggle backwards so I was tucked up against his body. His breath hitched and I felt him shift his legs away from me.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered, “I just.. I just need you near me right now. That dream shook me up pretty badly,”
I don’t know if it was because my body was trembling, but a moment later, one large hand moved to rest on my waist.
“Lift your head,” He mumbled, and as I done as I was told, he slid his arm under me, so my head was resting on his strong bicep.
I had my back to his chest, but when I tried to move closer to him, he moved his hips away again.
“Why are you moving?” I mumbled sleepily, reaching out to grab his hip. As I made contact with his hip bone, the hand that was on my waist moved down between our bodies. He gently moved my hand away from him and put his hand back on my waist.
“Don’t worry about it. Go to sleep, Bee,”
That last phrase telling me to sleep sent me straight into a peaceful dreamland. I felt safe when I was with Sho, and even more so when I was pressed into his chest.
However, in the early hours of the morning, I was jerked awake by Sho mumbling something. He only said one thing, but I didn’t catch what it was. All I knew, was that I was awake, and freezing cold.
We were in the same position as when we fell asleep, but Sho’s body was slightly tense. Suddenly, the hand that was on my waist flung out and wrapped around me completely, pulling me in even closer to his muscled body. His arm slid up my stomach and came to a stop as his hand slid up between my breasts so that his wrist was nestled snugly there with his hand relaxed by my collar bone.
I know he was doing it in his sleep, but it was still strange that he was doing this. He had never done it before. But I didn’t mind; he was probably just trying to keep me warm. If it was anyone else, I would have felt uncomfortable. But I trusted Sho one hundred percent.
My eyes began to get droopy as I lay relaxed in Sho’s grasp; until his hips surged forward and something long and hard smashed into my tail bone. I jumped, knocking my panda teddy off of the bed.
It landed with a thunk and suddenly, Sho jerked as he woke up.
“Shit,” He cursed, scrabbling to get away from me, “I’m so sorry, Bee!” He said, “I didn’t.. I was asleep.. Shit,”
I pushed myself and turned to face him, “It’s alright,” I smiled, reaching out to touch his red face, “You were cuddling me, right? Because I was cold?”
“Uh.. Well… Yeah..” He took hold of the hand that was reaching for him and held on to it for a moment, before placing it on my lap. His eyes shifted down to my bare legs, and he coughed, “You know, you should wear more clothes. It’s no wonder you got cold with such tiny shorts,”
“These are my favourite, though,” I pouted, slightly miffed that he had taken my hand away from him and then insulted my pyjamas, “If you have a problem with it, I’ll go back to my own bed!”
“N-No!” Sho grabbed my wrist as I shuffled from the bed, “I’ll keep you warm. Let’s… Let’s just go back to sleep, alright?”
I ran my fingers through my fair hair and shuffled back towards him. He kept his eyes firmly on the duvet as he pulled it up over my legs and up my chest.
I watched him as he lay down beside me, feeling strangely empty without his arms around me.
I wriggled closer to him, resting my head on his shoulder, “Hold me, please,” I whispered. Sho’s arm wrapped around me immediately, and I wrapped my leg around one of his, placing my hand on his bare chest so I could feel his heart beat as we went to sleep.
His breath hitched slightly, and I could feel him stroking my hair, “Sleep, Bee,” He said softly, placing a kiss on my temple. I immediately closed my eyes, feeling extremely safe and comfortable.

It was hot the next morning, and after I had showered, I pulled on a pair of jean shorts and a black vest top.
“Nii-chan,” I called to my brother, who was in the shower, “I’m going to the shop, do you want anything?”
“Pick up some coffee,” His voice came out muffled, “My wallets on the side in the kitchen,”
“It’s fine. I’ll be back in a bit!”
I closed the front door and made my way down the bright street, my flip flops softly smacking against my feet on the way.
As I got to the shop, there was suddenly a pair of hands on my hips, swinging me around and pulling me into the alley down the side.
I felt lips on my neck, and went into a blind panic, and struggled in the man’s hold.
Tears sprung to my eyes as my assailants hands moved from my waist downwards to the top of my low cut jean shorts.
I wanted to yell for my brother, but I couldn’t even make a sound.
