Surprise guest

Knock knock

“Excuse me! Pizza delivery!”

Erik looks up from his desk, wide-eyed before smirking to himself. The feminine voice echoes through his dorm room, he gets up, heading to the door, he expects to see Vi or Ari, or even Maki.

“Wha?” He says dumbly as he opens the door, seeing a blonde woman. But not Heidi, it’s…

“Hey, big step bro.” Anya says with a soft sweet smile, tilting her head.

“Anya!” Erik says loudly, pulling his younger step-sister into a tight embrace.

“This is some bullshit!” A familiar voice rings out from the side, the two-person hug violently becomes a three-person hug when Maki wraps her arms around the two younger siblings. “You were NOT this happy when it was me!”

“Really?” Anya’s voice murmurs from within the hug.

“Yeah!! Such a dickhead!” {osis{ laughs as she shakes the two younger ones.

——

Maki drops onto the couch, spreading her legs like a man on the bus, arms stretched over the back of the couch. Anya sits on the second cushion, knees together, back straight, hands resting neatly on her thighs.

Erik stands looking at them for a moment, chuckling to himself before sitting at his desk and turning the chair towards the girls. “I can’t believe the gang is all here.”

“Right? Fuckin’ crazy. You can thank me for that by the way, cu-“

Erik shoots her an intense glare, not missed by Anya, the older step-sibling, covering it up with loud coughs. She laughs as she grins at Erik, eyes narrowing knowingly. “Cunt.”

“Maki!” The blonde girl reaches over and slaps the forearm of the redheads.

Erik breathes a silent sigh of relief as Anya continously tries to slap Maki.

“Still have your thing with swearing?” Erik asks. “You’re like a Mormon.”

Anya turns to look at Erik eyes shimmering as she flushes red. “That’s so mean! I’m not like a Mormon…”

“Saw a swear.” Maki says, leaning forward,

“Say it.” Erik eggs on, leaning forward, mirroring her.

“Stop!!” Anya hides her face in her hands. “Don’t start this stuff again! I hate it!! Leave me alone!” Anya kicks her feet as she turns away. Maki and Erik roar with laughter, slapping at each other's hands.

“This is what I needed to see.” Maki thinks to herself, leaning back in the couch, listening silently as Erik asks Anya about why she’s here, how long she’s been here, if she’s going to stay long. She needed to see the family dynamic back, see Erik as a stepfamily member… Not as a hot guy with a great body.

She looks at Erik, studying his face, the sharpness of his jaw, the confidence in his eyes that didn’t exist when he was younger… Her eyes check out his arms, he used to be a slim boy… But now he’s got that nice layer of muscle and definition, even the veins on his hand pop… She looks down at his legs, she licks her lips subconsciously as her eyes settle on his crotch and what his pants hide underneath. She takes a small breath when he shifts —

Maki snaps her head up, forcing her eyes back on his moving lips, bringing her attention back to the conversation at hand. She got way into it…

Erik stands up. “Let me get you guys some drinks.”

Maki smiles silently, she looks at Anya. For a split second, Maki catches Anya side eyeing her…

“Fuck. Did she notice me checking our step-brother out?”

{f} returns with some soda for the girls, he sits between them, getting comfortable, snapping his head side to side. “Comfortable?” Maki rolls her eyes, but she feels a flutter between her legs, her face gets warmer. “Fuuuuuck off bitch boy!”

Maki looks past at Anya grinning, but her heart drops.

Anya is blushing, her eyes averting, her thighs rubbing together softly, the softest of shy smiles on her face.

Erik stands up, laughing before sitting back down on his desk chair.

Maki stares at Anya…

“No…. Don’t tell me… This is not what I needed from her…”

“Anya, have you been working out? I swear you have a bit more muscle than you used to.” Erik asks. Bending his own eblow an dplayfully fleing his bicep. “Did I inspire you?”

Maki watches as Anya breathes shakily, her fists getting tighter, smiling hard, speaking softly. “A little bit…” She looks up, eyes almost sparkling. “You look so good, Erik. Working out has been good to you.”

Maki is wide-eyed.

She clears her throat, speaking loudly. “Let’s not blow up his ego too much now!” Her voice a tad shaky. “When are we meeting Vi??”

Anya nose crinkles. Caught again by Maki.

“Oh yeah. This works perfectly, both of you at the same time, I want you guys to meet her. You two are both important to me.”

Both girls blush furiously.

“We can come to the club together? Have some pres in your penthouse, Maki? And then head down for some partying, a little bit of a social buffer?”

Maki shrugs, grateful for the success of her topic switch. “Works for me.”

“Yep.” Anya says flatly sipping at her soda.

Maki is uneasy. Anya may not have the effect on her that she wanted.
