The Twin Brothers

“Did you give her candy!?” Enzo yells.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“I’m sorry!! I don’t she can get this hyper!!” Matthias is waving his hands.

All of the guys watching her keep running around the house with Felix and Adam trying to catch her. They have been like this for the last 20 minutes. She keeps giggling. “She changes when she is in the headspace. No shy. No stuttering. ” Enzo spokes.

“Does she know about this? The headspace, she never says anything about it?” Mat asks.

Leo shakes his head. “She never did. Or… she also doesn’t know about it?” He guesses.

“I don’t think she does.” Enzo agreed.

Liana throws the cushion at those two. “Hehehehe!! Headshot!!!” She jumps up and down. Her little giggles make her even cuter. There is no shyness or stutters. But, it becomes more dangerous since it is easy to get enjoyed herself with anyone even a stranger.

Seeing her in this state makes the twins even more protective of her. Too soon? Yeah, didn’t care. Leo and Enzo look at each other with the same thought. Then, smirks appeared on their face. “What should we do now? Felix and Adam seem like they will die of tiredness any second.” Matthias spokes.

“Look like we have to wait till her in her big headspace.” Enzo smiles while looking at the girl who on top of Felix, keeps hitting him with the cushion. “Not gonna lie. We love seeing her in this new thing.” He chuckles.

“Oooo. I see. Someone has daddy issues.” Matthias smirks.

Leo slightly smiles, moving towards the little girl. “Need help?” He asks his dying friend.

“Yes. Fucking yes!!” Felix groaning keep defending himself with his arms from the hit he got.

“Okay, little one. that’s enough.” He picks Liana up and set her on his hip. “You can’t hit people like that. It’s bad. You don’t want to be a bad girl, don’t you?” Liana looks at him with teary eyes. “Aww, don’t cry. Little one, don’t cry please.” His thumb rubbed her wet cheeks.

“I–I’m… not a good girl?” She asks.

“You are a good girl, mi amore.” Leo brushed her hair out of her face.

“But… I hit Felix. I’m a bad girl, right?” She sniffs out. Her hands wiped her unstoppable tears on her cheeks. Before Leo could reply, his brother butted in.

“It’s okay. You just play, baby. But, next time, don’t do it again, okay?” Enzo caressed her cheeks with a soft smile on his face. Liana grins, showing her pearly teeth and her chubby cheek lift. Enzo can’t hold his hand back so he pinches her cheeks. “Ughh!! Such a cute little baby, aren’t you? Who’s a cute little baby?”

“Me!!” She raises her hand.

“Yes, you are!!” He grabs her cheeks making her lips pout.

The other standing behind, watching the scene. The scene tells them how single they are in many languages. Felix groans and falls on the couch, rubbing his head that was hit just now. “So, she is little space?” He asks.

“I’m not sure to call it little space or not. But I rather call it toddler space. Since she acts like it. Maybe she didn’t need a diaper because she can go to the bathroom by herself when I take care of her.” Matthias said as he sit on the couch.

“But, as far as I know, she might need a sippy cup and pacifier.” Adam joins the conversation.

______________

It was night already and Liana sta over at their house. They didn’t believe her to live alone in her house in her state like this. The weird is, that she is still aware of what happened. Like before, she insisted to come home with the twins and decide to go to her house. She keeps whining she’s a big girl even if it’s not yet.

“Little one? Honey? Babygirl? Where are you?” Leo called. He walks upstair to find Liana. He is in charge to give Liana the proper dinner since she just eats candy and unhealthy food at Matthias’s house. “Little one, come one. We don’t have time to play hide and seek. We need to eat dinner.”

He opens Enzo’s bedroom door but it locks. Their bedroom door is always locked so there’s no way she is inside. He is about to pass their office but when he heard giggles, he abruptly stops.

“Should take a note not to let her eat too much candy. Even in big space.” He mumbles to himself before walking into their offices. Leo looks around but spots nothing.

He walks around but accidentally his feet bump into the leg of a single couch. “Arghh. Shit.” Leo rubbed his ankle. Then, little giggles fill the room but abruptly stop. Maybe she realizes it is a little bit too loud.

“Ohh. What just I heard, just now?” Leo said in a playful tone. “Hmm. I swear I heard something.” He slowly walks toward his desk and he confidently knows she is under his desk. “Maybe she…”

“…. HERE!!!” He kneels in front of the desk.

Liana yelp in surprise then bursts into laughter. She is grabbed and held. “You found me!! Now, it’s your turn!!” She tries to get down but is held tightly by Leo.

“Ah ah ah. Nope. We need to eat dinner. You didn’t eat healthy food.” Leo said as he continue to walk out of the office. “Then, we going to bath you and maybe watch some movies while waiting for your bedtime.”

“I’m hungry.” She pouted while rubbing her tummy. “EAT!! EAT!! EAT!!” Liana yells happily when notices they walking towards the kitchen.

“I know little one. I cook spaghetti for us.” Leo smirks at her when she squeals brightly.

Leo puts her on the bar stool which only makes it dangerous. So, he sits beside her and put his arms behind her back to pretend her from falling. Liana happily ate her spaghetti with her little dance whenever she ate. Leo can’t help but stare at her since he’s not hungry.

“Leo wants some?” Liana twirled the spaghetti.

“I’m fine, baby. I’m not hungry.” He answers.

“Eat.” She pushes the fork onto his lips slightly.

“Little–” She shoves the spaghetti inside his mouth but not too hard until he chokes. It careful shoves. Leo blinked his eyes in disbelief. “You didn’t take no as an answer, huh?” He mumbles under his breath.

“One more!! One more!!” Liana keeps feeding him and her at the same time.

That’s how it goes. She feeding herself, feeding Leo. It keeps going until her spaghetti finish. The weird is, Liana got sauce all over her face while Leo got nothing. It looks like she dumbs her face on the sauce bowl. Leo who saw it can’t stop chuckling. No matter how many times he wipes it off, it keeps happening.

“Okay, little one. Time to bath.” He picks her up but she starts to get fussy. “Little one, I don’t want you to all sticky.”

“No!! I don’t want a bath!!!”

“You need it. You don’t want cockroaches to bite you while you sleep, don’t you?” Leo said, continually walking upstair.

“NO!! LET ME DOWN!!” She yells and struggles to escape. She even bites Leo on the shoulder.

How can this tiny girl bite so hard?

Leo tries to hold his screams. “Darliana. Stop this. Now.” He said sternly.

“No bath…” She whines quietly hearing Leo’s stern voice. It was full of dominance. His deep voice can scare anyone in just a blink of an eye. “Please… Leo…”

“Baby. I don’t want you to get ill. I and Enzo want you to get healthy and clean. Can you do that for us, little one?” He set her down on the bathroom counter. “Can you take off your clothes? I promise I wouldn’t look and I will set a towel beside you.” Liana looks down at her clothes and back to him. “Well?” Leo arches his eyebrows.

“Can you put bubbles and toys inside!?” She clapped her hands.

“Sure, little one.” Leo nods and told her to take off her clothes. While he prepared her bath. He can hear her taking off her clothes but he has respect for her. “Are you done little one?”

“Yup!!”

Leo turns around slowly and the scene makes him stiff. She was just in her towel, wrapped around her body. Her smooth milky skin just begging for him and his brother to mark. He walks toward her and picks her up. “Are you ready to get a bath?” She nodded her head excitedly when saw toys and bubbles in her bath.

Just Leo was about to bring her to the bathtub, something caught his eyes. It was a small scar between her collarbone and breast on the left. He frowns, “Little one. What is this?” He asks, gently tracing the scar.

“My stepmother said it was my birthmark. It’s cute right?” Liana grins.

“It is, little one.” He smiles and feels relief that it is not from someone hitting her. If it is yes, that person wouldn’t live long.

Enzo closes the door, taking off his shoes. He let out a tiring sigh. He looks at the clock and it is already 10 pm. They might be asleep already. He slowly went to the upstair. How much he wants to check on Liana but she might be asleep. As he is about to pass her bedroom, the sound of Leo and Liana makes him stop.

“Hehehe, catch me if you can!!” Leo opens the door and saw her running around the room with Leo after her. Who look tired and sleepy. He leans on the doorframe with a smile.

“Little one, we’ve been doing this for hours. Can we go to sleep?” Leo fall to the bed, sweating.

“Look like you have a problem handling our girl, Leo.” Enzo chuckles.

“ENZO!!” She jumps in his arms.

“Hey, baby. Why you haven’t slept yet?” He asks.

Liana giggles, “I just want to play with Leo. He also enjoys with me!!” She grins.

Enzo just chuckles and shakes his head. He brings her to her bed and sits down on it with her on his lap. He looks at his brother and he already snoring. “You have to sleep. You don’t want to get tired the next morning, right?” He brings her in the middle.

Leo automatically wrapped his arms around her, snuggling his face on her neck. It was obvious Leo was tired of handling her. It’s all Matthias’ fault for giving her too much sugar. Enzo pulls off his shirt leaving her topless.

“Goodnight, baby.”

“Goodnight.” She giggles.
