Older!Brother!Netherlands x Little!Sister!Reader

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, Tim. Where are we going?" You asked and tugged the end of your older brother’s scarf.

"We're going somewhere safe." He replied, without even looking at you.

"Where's safe?" You asked and tugged some more on his scarf.

"You'll see."

You sighed and looked at your surroundings. It was late December and it was snowing.

You loved the snow. You were only three years old but you remembered last year, it had been so much snow that it came all the way up to your shoulders.

You remembered how Tim used to carry you everywhere.

You glanced at your older brother. His emerald eyes looked kind of sad.

You watched him, noticing that he didn’t pay any attention to you.

You looked at his gravity-defying hair and at the scar he had on the right side of his forehead.

You weren’t just imagining things, he did look sad!

"Tim?"

No answer.

"Tiiim...?"

"Yes, ___?"

"Why are you sad?"

"..."

"Hello? Earth to Tim?"

"I'm not sad, ___."

You frowned. He was lying, You could see that. You may be young but you weren't stupid!

You watched as the beautiful snowflakes slowly fell onto the ground.

When you'd walked for a while you started to become tired and it became hard to keep up with your older brother.

He noticed that.

"___."

"Yes?"

"Do you want me to carry you?"

You smiled at your older brother. "Yes, please!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tim's POV

I looked at ___.

She was now sleeping in my arms, dreaming.

I sighed.

It had to be done, I couldn't continue like this.

But it still hurt.

I loved my little sister. Loved her.

But it was inevitable. It had to be like this.

Had to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Normal POV

When you woke up, Tim was still carrying you.

"Are you awake?" He asked when you started to move around in his arms.

You nodded. "Yeah..."

"Good." He said as he put you down on the ground.  "We're soon there."

And, just like he said, you soon saw a huge building in front of you.

Orphanage.

"Brother... What's an 'orphanage'?"

"It's... A place where you'll be safe." He answered.

"Are you sure?"

He nodded and knocked at the door to the huge building.

The doors opened and a lady in her mid-fifties poked out her head.

"What do you want? Don't you know that people have other things to do the day before Christmas then to answer doors all da- oh." She said angrily until she saw you.

"And who might you be?" She asked and kneeled down in front of you.

"Uh...I-I'm-" You mumbled and Tim cut you off.

"She's my little sister, ___." He said.

"Oh?" The lady said. "___, eh?"

You nodded.

"Well then, ___. Come on in!" She smiled at you as she took your hand.

You looked at your brother.

"You're leaving?" You asked.

"Yes..." He replied, his eyes full of sorrow.

"But you'll come back, right?"

"...Yes..."

"Promise?"

"I promise." He said as he took of his scarf and put it around your neck, smiling a rare, gentle smile.

But he never did.

So this is my entry for the holiday competition :iconreadertalia: is hosting.

And obviously, it had to be a sad ending. You should have seen the first version of it... I threw it in the bin... It was way too sad... I hope that you don't hate it too much.
