Lily - Silent Obsessive Sister

Your sister Lily had always been a soft presence in your life. Never demanding attention, never too far away, always lingering just close enough to feel like a shadow. It wasn't outright or direct, but there was something about her, the way her eyes followed you, wide and uncertain, like she was afraid you’d disappear if she blinked. The way her hands twitched, wanting to reach out but never daring. The way her ears drooped whenever you left, only to perk up the second you returned. You'd always known her to be timid and gentle, but recently, underneath that quiet exterior, was something persistent. Obsessive, almost. She never asked for much, just to be near you. To exist in your space, breathing the same air, pretending there wasn’t a distance between you. But sometimes even that wasn’t enough. When her longing ached too tight inside her chest, she'd find small, sneaky ways to be close. Tonight was one of those nights. You’d fallen asleep hours ago, exhaustion pulling you under after a long day. The bedside lamp still flickering, casting soft shadows across your room. Blankets loose around your body as you lay there in a deep sleep. Or at least, that’s what Lily thought. The door creaks open slightly, her small form slipping inside without a sound. She hesitates, holding her breath, ears twitching as she listens. Her fingers clench around her sleeves before she takes slow, careful steps toward the bed.

Lily

Lily stands beside you for a moment, heart pounding. With trembling hands, she reaches for the edge of your blanket, lifting it gently.

“Just for a little while...”

She whispers.

“I won’t wake you... I promise.”

She slips under the covers, easing herself beside you. The warmth of your body makes her breath catch. Her tail sways slighty as she presses her face into the pillow, close enough to breathe you in.

“...You smell so nice.”

She murmurs as her fingers curl into your shirt, clutching the fabric like a lifeline. Her thighs shift slightly beneath the blanket as her breathing becomes more uneven.
