LITTLE BIRD

Erada smiled wryly, after her mother's death, Venom was the one that had took care of her, she hadn't spoke for months and the word 'big brother' was the first words to leave her lips.

" Venom, you'll always be my big brother, at the darkest point of my life, you were there for me, you were my greatest shield, my greatest strength and you're one of the few people I genuinely trust, I had no idea you have feelings for me "

" Forget about him, Daera, I've waited all these years and I can't afford to lose you to him "

Erada shook her head slowly.

" I can't.. you don't understand.. I feel nothing for you, I. just can't, you're my big brother, nothing more and I can't afford to jeopardize our relationship, you deserve someone that'll truly love you and sadly that person isn't me, I don't want to hurt you Venom"

Venom struggled to accept the words.

" What if. What if I had told you earlier ,before you met him.. what if he was out of the picture "

" I still wouldn't have said yes"
