This was wrong. Something about this set Malās skin a ablaze with a tingling unease. Youād think the guy had seen her only a week ago to be this laid back.
āDo youā¦wanna see him?ā If she supervised, it should be fineā¦though every instinct in her body screamed at her to send him away, to lie and tell him Reina wasnāt here and bail without so much as a 30 day notice, it was Reinaās baggage, not hers. It wasnāt really her place to decide how best to handle the situation.Ā
āI-I...ā
There was fear in her voice, as memories came flooding to the front of her mind, images she tried to suppress and ignore. For an instant, in front of Mal no longer stood the cranky, paranoid roommate sheād known since high school. Instead, a meek, frightened child took her place, holding herself tightly as she grappled with the cold, twisting feeling in her stomach.
Inwardly, the argued with herself--for years sheād tried to convince her parents, authorities, countless therapists that Zach was alive. But now that the proof stood right outside of her apartment, the weight was almost unbearable for her.
Even so, at least one thing managed to keep her grounded, and without a thought, Reina reached out to clasp her fingers in the fabric of Malās shirt, looking up for reassurance.
āC-come with me?ā she squeaked, heart racing but finding the smallest bit of peace with her friend at her side.Ā āJust...just in case. Thereās plenty of Magicals that can make illusions o-or things to that effect. Right?ā Not that she knew who could possibly dream up Reinaās brother of all people, but it was her caution that got her this far. Or something like that.

Malās face became the picture of confusion. Reina didnāt talk much about family anyway, but she didnāt even know she had siblings. The way she had siblings. And while with anyone else Mal could dismiss it as a careless lie, just looking at him was a challenge to that assertion.
āHmā¦Iāll see if sheās in, think she might have a late class.ā She lied, biting the inside of her cheek thoughtfully as she considered what might have drove Reina to keep this from her, assuming it true.Ā
No need to think on it, she thought. Ask her yourself. And so Mal reached back to open the door as she backed into it, gracing her guest with a quickĀ ābe right backā and quickly closing the door behind her before making her way down to Reinaās room.Ā
āRei? Not that itās my business but why didnāt you tell me you had a brother?ā She asked as she approached the door to her bedroom.Ā
Zach simply continued to smile, letting Mal slip away without a word. He didnāt appear to be in any rush at a glance, though heād stuffed both hands into the pockets of his sweatpants to hide the way his hand clenched and unclenched.
While this went on, however, Reina was sat fixated on her second monitor. The screen displayed footage from the security feed at the door, with Zachās face displayed prominently. Reina had bitten into her knuckles watching the exchange, to the point that sheād managed to break the skin enough to bleed. Not that she noticed, eyes flicking between Zach and a photo that had been hastily grabbed from a locked drawer.
Malās voice was enough to startle her back into reality, turning with such force she almost fell from her chair. But her question at least confirmed this wasnāt some stress-induced hallucination--he really was standing outside of her door, as if heād been living next door this whole time.
āI...n-no one...ā she inhaled deeply, eyes flicking back to the screen, seeing a pair that mirrored her own staring straight into the camera.Ā ā...no one...believed me...th-they kept telling me he was dead--that itād been too long...ā
Reinaās eyes pricked with tears, looking back up at her friend as she stood on trembling legs.Ā āZachās been missing...for twelve years.ā

Mal maintained a skeptical countenance, her brow drawing down further at the mention of Reina. She feigned a yawn, throwing in a stretch for good measure as she spoke.Ā āNo prob, it was about time for me to cook dinner anyway.ā
āZach huh? Howād you say you knew Reina again?āĀ She knew full well he said no such thing, but he wasnātĀ about to spotlight her location to any random passerby. Hopefully though, sounding as though she was roused from a nap would at least keep the tension light.Ā Ā
There was a slight pause in the air from her question, but it was dashed away by an equally tired sounding hum as Zach considered it.
āHuh...did I...?ā He laughed again, shrugging softly.Ā āWell, itās not like she wonāt tell you the same when she sees me, anyway.ā Zach ran a hand through his hair, appearing almost bashful about what he was going to say.
āIām her older brother, actually.ā He grinned, before pointing a pair of fingers at his eyes.Ā āWe, uh, have a bit of a resemblance, so Iāve been told? Of course, sheās always managed to be the prettier one of us, so I get the misunderstanding.ā

Now who could that be this late in the evening?Ā Certainly not anyone Mal knewāwell, not anyone that sheād want to see, anyways. She rolled out of bed, contemplating whether it might be Honey delivering another reprimand from up top for her previous mission performance, or the landlord complaining about her roommateās ratherā¦sheād charitably call itĀ āpassionateāā¦gaming sessions.Ā
Opening the door, however revealed a baffling sight to say the least.Ā The man was practically Reina, if Reina was taller, shaggier, more sleep deprived, and a man. Regarding him curiously, Mal decided to assert herself, stepping forward and closing the door behind her, forcing the stranger to either take a step back or share an uncomfortable spate of close quarters eye contact.Ā
āā¦Need somethinā?āĀ
She wasnāt sure what else to say. The guy felt off somehow but she couldnāt well tell him to fuck off without knowing what it is he was after.
There was a mild look of surprise as the young man took a few steps back, though it was quickly replaced by a tired smile. He scanned Mal from top to bottom, his thoughts unreadable before finally speaking up.
āHey...ā His voice had a bit of a rasp to it, the tone low and almost unassuming in its own right.Ā āSorry for botherinā ya. I was uh...wondering if someone by the name of Reina De La Fuente lived here? I was told I might find her in this apartment.ā
There was a few moments of hesitation, before a choked laugh escaped, and he offered his hand to Mal.Ā āSorry, sorry, I forget my manners sometimes--Iām Zach. If the old lady downstairs is to be believed, I take it youāre Mal, right?ā

It was late afternoon, just as the warming sun was settling in the horizon, leaving the soft chill of an early spring evening in its wake. The apartment complex was filled with the sounds of its residents calming down for the evening--mothers and fathers calling in laughing children, older generations locking their doors before sitting for dinner or in front of dull televisions.Ā
It certainly wasnāt a time for your normal visitor to make an appearance, but especially not to the apartment whose door nestled comfortable at the end of the hall.
The knock itself was slow but deliberate, made by an individual who stood so close to the door, that the peephole could only witness a pair of mismatched eyes staring back. Green and blue, both dulled, with heavy bags underneath and a redness to the eyes that suggested the person either indulged or rarely saw sleep.
Still, an answer was needed, and the smallest of the two women within lay frozen in her room.

āSo I suddenly got a bunch of follows after making that post about my crush problem, and I donāt know if I should be concerned or if thatās just a weird coincidence.ā
#writingcode#dash commentary#I don't know if I can physically handle that kind of social pressure#of being attracted to anymore people who will never actually notice#just a warning to anyone who thought 'this is my chance'
