The door swung open with a soft creak, and Arthur's heart skipped a beat. His eyes widened in realization. "Shit," he whispered under his breath.
Raven, standing beside him, gave him a sharp look. "Shit," she said in sync, both of them frozen for a mont. There was no ti to react, no ti to escape.
Without a word, both of them rushed into the closet, cramming into the tight space, the shelves digging into Arthur's back. Raven's body pressed against his, their faces uncomfortably close, her breath warm against his ear. For a second, they both stiffened, unsure of how to handle the sudden proximity. But with a shared glance, they quietly adjusted, trying to make themselves as small as possible.
Arthur's mind was racing. So that's him... he thought, watching from the gap in the closet as the intruder entered. His older brother, Adam Blackwynd, with his sharp, calculating gaze and air of authority.
Raven, however, wasn't paying attention to Arthur at the mont. She was staring at the figure, her eyes narrowing as if sothing clicked in her mind. "Wait..." she murmured. "I've seen him sowhere before..."
Arthur barely resisted the urge to curse aloud. 'Great, now she's thinking too much.'
The silence stretched between them, both trying not to breathe too loudly as they observed Adam pacing around the room. Raven squinted, her thoughts racing. "Where have I seen him before..." she muttered again, eyes flicking back to Arthur, suspicion rising.
Arthur, trying to keep his composure, gave her a brief, reassuring smile, but his heart was pounding.' This is too close.'
"Is that your brother?" Raven asked in a low whisper, still trying to piece it all together.
Arthur didn't answer imdiately, his thoughts still scrambled. "I guess... i an yeah ...that's him. My brother," he said quietly, wondering what exactly Raven might make of this.
Adam muttered from the other side of the room, pacing back and forth. "Well, where did that idiot disappear to?" His voice was filled with frustration, and it made Arthur's blood boil. He clenched his jaw, irritation flickering across his face. That idiot? He wanted to shout, wanted to confront his brother right then and there, but he stayed silent, breathing deeply to control the urge. The last thing he needed was his brother discovering he wasn't alone.
Raven, however, wasn't as skilled at hiding her curiosity. She turned toward Arthur, her brow furrowed. "Why are you hiding here anyway, Arthur? It's your house," she asked, her tone casual but a bit too sharp, clearly noticing his agitation.
Arthur sighed, rubbing his forehead as if the whole situation was a hassle. "I don't know..." He trailed off for a mont, eyeing her
He then smirked, his irritation mixing with a hint of dry humor. "Can't you just open a portal or sothing? Or are you enjoying this? Let's just leave."
Raven, slightly flustered by the suggestion, snapped her fingers. "Right! Why didn't I think of that?" she grumbled, clearly embarrassed, her arms crossed. She shot Arthur a sharp look, her face flushed with mild frustration. "It's not like I'm enjoying it, okay?!"
Arthur bit back a grin. 'Right
