[ It may be a moment that could happen to anyone, but Dimitri isn't just anyone to Athanasia. He's her dear brother who is so strong and stalwart in her mind, at least physically. He may have a temper, he may get embarrassed easily about certain things, and he may be an idiot, but idiots don't catch colds.
Because her brother will always be there for her.
Even if he's frustratingly oblivious sometimes, on purpose or not. She's FOURTEEN.
He scoops her up before she can sass him more, and her laughter has more shades of surprise than anything, as her arms find their way around him, but the sheer and genuine delight that lights up her face that follows is hard to miss. These small moments are ones she tries to hold onto, the pockets of time they can be a normal family. ]
Yeah, I miss you when I'm working.
[ She shouldn't be working at 14, but this is life.

I miss the time we used to have sometimes.
