Under one roof (GingerCat + PhantomSentinel)

David didn't really know what to say. He couldn't really object as his parents were right. They were paying for his off campus apartment and they also had every right to tell him that they wanted his little sister Michelle to live with him as well given, as they put it that they were paying the rent for his apartment and they did not want to fork out to pay the rent of two apartments when Michelle could easily fit into the one he was currently living in as well.

Not that David disliked his sister, not at all. He loved her very much. It's just that over the past year he had grown used to living alone and it even made him feel like more of an adult to live alone as well. Now his sister was going to be moving in with him and that somehow felt like a step backwards in the quest to properly grow up.

Plus he and his sister were quite different people. Why he was shy and somewhat awkward Michelle was confident and social. She could make friends with just about anyone and she was always full of energy. David just hoped that when Michelle moved in she did not bring too many guys home as he really didn't like the prospect of hearing his little sister having sex.

With his conversation with his parents in mind he knew that in only 2 days his little sister would be moving in with him so she can also go to college.

Luckily for her, and maybe not-so-luckily for him, the two days went like a breeze. At last, Michelle was stading in front of her brother's apartment, her bags next to her feet and her arms crossed. She wasn't too fond of the idea of having to spend her privacy with her brother, but if her parents were so selfish as to not wanting to pay two rents for some time, then she would deny to move in with her brother. She was just wondering how funny it would be to do the things she usually did WITH her brother living with her. She knew she couldn't have sex anymore in the apartment, since it would be too dumb to tease him like that.

"David, open the door! It's your sister!" Michelle said while knocking on the door again, wondering why he was taking so long. Only thing she knew, was that it was going to be one hell of a neat experience indeed. She had always enjoyed spending time with her brother, and if he was willing to do the same crazy things that she had in mind, then she would enjoy it greatly. One thing still bugged her, and that was wether her brother was going to be overly protective with her or not.

David was asleep on his bed when he heard some sort of noise in the background, almost like it was not real. However, after a few more minutes his mind woke up enough for him to realise that someone was knocking on the door, someone that was sounding increasingly annoyed at still knocking. He very quickly remembered that it had to be his sister.

Getting up as fast as he could in his half asleep state he quickly went to the front door and opened it to see his sister, 5'7 and blonde with a thin build. Her usually happy face gave an expression that definitely conveyed annoyance and David realised that he probably should have set his alarm.

"Um hi sis" he said trying to give a forgive me expression which he doubted was too effective "how was the bus ride here" he asked?

At last, the damned door opened and her big brother stood there, trying to look sorry making her wait so long. "You silly asshole." That was the only thing she said before hugging him and planting a kiss on his cheek. "I am fine, just quite of angry that my older brother is just a sleepy 'tard. But it's alright. I am finally here...and the bus ride was fine. Uncomfortable and shitty seats as always. How have you been?' She asked, stepping back from the hug and putting her hands on her hips. She had just acquired a new pearcing on her ear. She knew that her brother wasn't too keen on pearcings and tattoos, but she wasn't going to remove the two she had.

Truthfully David did not even notice Michelle's new piercing as he was too focused on how his little sister went from seemingly being angry one second to being happy the next second. She hugged him quite tightly as well which David always found to be a bit awkward as he never knew exactly what to do with his hands. He settled for patting his little sister on the back. She was 3 or 4 inches shorter than him so he also found her blonde hair and the top of her head to be pressed against his nose a bit.

"Sorry to hear that the bus ride was not pleasant" David said sympathetically as he knew how far their house was away. "Also I have been good, not doing a lot other than a bit of part time work and waiting for the new semester to begin" he said knowing that his much more wild and adventurous sister will find what he had actually been doing to be the definition of dull.

He picked up one of Michelle's bags "so do you want me to show you to your room" he said with a smile?

Hearing that her brother was being the same and boring ol' jerk as always, Michelle felt that everything was back into place. "Ummm, sure! Feel free to show me!" she told him and walked with him into the house. She had never got very far into David's personal life, so she was completely and totally unaware as to wether he had a girlfriend or not. It wasn't a topic he liked to talk about either, since she was pretty sure he would not like to know as to wether his little sister was having sex or not.

"David..." She started while they were walking, "Will you be ok if I go out? I promise to not bother you." While Michelle knew that she needed no permission to do it, he was still her older brother, and she felt it adequate to ask at least, just to show manners.

David was rather surprised at Michelle's request as when had she ever needed his permission to do anything. In fact the last time he had been in charge of what she was and was not allowed to do he thought she was 12 and he was 16 and even then he was very loose with the term 'in charge' as Michelle always did what she wanted to do.

"Not at all Michelle" he responded "you do not need my permission to go out" he added. "I am afraid though that I probably would not be able to recommend any good places to go though unless you want to know where to get excellent Thai food" he said with a smile.

Truth was David was a bit, well quite a bit of an introvert and even though he had been living in this apartment for 4 years he tended to only go out when he was going to a class, going to work at his part time job or seeing the occasional friend.

He didn't mind being an introvert but he definitely was not going to force that lifestyle on his sister as he knew that she thrived on socialising and having fun with lots of people.

"I...I know that you are ok with. What I meant to say is that I was warning you as to not get worried if I don't come back one night, alright? That's all." Michelle put her hands on her pockets as they continued to walk until they reached her room, which looked quite spacious. "This will work out greatly," she told him. It was a perfect room for her and to bring anyone who wanted to spend the night with her. Her clothes would fit perfectly in the closet. She couldn't complain, the room was perfect. "You can leave the bags on the bed, David. I am going to get a glass of water." With that said, Michelle wandered through the house until she found herself standing in what looked like the kitchen. She grabbed a glass and took out a bottle of water from the fridge. She poured some in her glass and drank it.

David had no idea what his sister was going to get up to while she was here, though come to think about it she was going to be here a lot longer than he was as he would be graduating and moving away in the next two years and he was sure that Michelle was going to be here a lot longer than that.

He watched his sister exploring the kitchen and found the water she was looking for. Luckily David had the sense to wash up last night so she had a clean cup to use. As she was drinking David thought how good looking his little sister was. He was never attracted to her in that sense but he could certainly acknowledge why a lot of guys were attracted to her. She had a gymnasts body though she was a few inches too tall to be a gymnast as she was quite petite. David also inherited the naturally thin body shape but being male this was not completely desireable so he did go to the gym a few times a week in order to buff up at least a bit.

"So mom and dad gave us some money to help you get settled in" David said to his sister "any idea what you want to buy" he asked?
