//------------------------------// // Day 6 - She Can't Have This // Story: First Week of Summer // by Zenyattaluver677 //------------------------------// It was about 11:15 in the afternoon, Adagio and Sonata were both in the living room because Adagio, once again, was watching Sonata while Aria did her chores around the house, which was basically make hers and Sonata's bed, put away hers and Sonata's clean clothes and wash hers and Sonata's dirty clothes if their laundry hampers in their rooms were full. Adagio was lounging in her reclining chair and looking at something on her phone, looking up to check on Sonata every few minutes, Sonata was sitting on the floor on the other end of the coffee table and was playing with a couple of her toy horses she'd brought up from downstairs. Adagio had a couple chocolate chip cookies in her hand and was eating one of them, but now that she thought about it, she didn't really want two cookies at the moment though, but, she was too comfy and to relaxed to get up and put the other cookie back in the container in the kitchen. Instead she figured she'd just give the cookie to Sonata, since Sonata was in the living room and would be an easy way to get rid of the cookie and then Adagio wouldn't have to get up and put it away for later. "Hey Sonata." Adagio said, looking up at Sonata and grabbing the second cookie off the side table beside her reclining chair. "What?" Sonata asked, turning to look at Adagio to see what her oldest sister wanted. "Do you want this?" Adagio asked Sonata, holding the cookie up so she could see it. "What is that?" Sonata asked again, confused as to what Adagio was holding, since she normally wasn't allowed to have certain things because of her anxiety. "It's a chocolate chip cookie. Do you want it?" Adagio answered, again asking if Sonata wanted the cookie. "Sure." Sonata replied. "Here you go then." Adagio said handing Sonata the cookie after Sonata'd crawled over to her chair. "Thanks Dagi." Sonata said before crawling back over to where her two toy horses were. "Whatever." Adagio replied as she looked back down at her phone. Aria came down the stairs about a minute later to grab a basket so she could put hers and Sonata's dirty clothes into it, when she stepped off the bottom step, she turned to look in the living room to check on Sonata, since she could see her from where she was standing. She saw that Sonata had something in her left hand and looked at her for a minute to see what it was, as Sonata put whatever she had in her mouth, Aria realised what it was and instantly sprung into protective sister mode, knowing her sister couldn't have what she had in her mouth because of her anxiety. She walked quickly down the hall, entered the living room and quickly walked over to Sonata. "Hey, give me that." Aria said, stopping in front of Sonata and gently taking the cookie out of her mouth. "Ari! I want that!" Sonata exclaimed, looking up at her older sister and trying to get the cookie from her hand. "No! You can't have it." Aria replied firmly, setting the cookie down on the coffee table and then kneeling down and picking Sonata up. She only put firmness in her voice around Sonata when she was being protective of her and didn't approve of something she was doing or something she had. "Ok." Sonata quietly said, knowing her sister only told her no, that she couldn't have something or was more firm when talking to her when she was being protective of her. She wrapped her legs around Aria's waist and looked at her. "Where'd you get that anyways?" Aria softly asked her, slightly getting out of protective sister mode but not really as she gently brushed some hair out of Sonata's eyes. "Dagi gave it to me, she said I could have it." Sonata answered, pointing to their oldest sister who was staring at them confusingly because of what'd Aria'd just done and had told Sonata. "Adagio. She's not allowed to have cookies." Aria explained, looking over at Adagio and glaring at her while she shifted Sonata to her right arm. Sonata reached behind her with her hands and grabbed her right pigtail and began to run her hands through it and play with her sister's hair, Aria didn't mind though. "Oh stop being so protective of her, I didn't do anything to it." Adagio exclaimed, thinking that's what Aria meant when she'd said Sonata wasn't allowed cookies. "That's not what I meant by she's not allowed to have cookies." Aria flatly stated, continuing to glare at Adagio while Sonata played with her hair. "Well what's the problem then?" Adagio asked, getting annoyed at Aria being protective of Sonata, because she always thought Aria was overprotective. "She can't have cookies because they're a sugary food and it could cause her anxiety to flare up." Aria explained, watching Sonata out of the corner of her left eye to keep an eye on her, since she was still slightly in protective sister mode. "Oh." Adagio replied, still slightly confused but not wanting to get lectured further by Aria. "And I don't need her anxiety to flare up today, she's having a good day today, right Sonata?" Aria explained, asking Sonata if she was having a good day and kissing her forehead when Sonata looked at her. "Right." Sonata said, smiling when her older sister kissed her forehead. "I was just a little shocked at what you said to her, I've never heard you tell her no or talk to her with a firm voice once since you two have been closer to each other." Adagio said, looking back down at her phone, feeling slightly weirded out by watching Aria kiss Sonata, even though she knew she did it all the time and had seen her do it before. "I only tell her no and talk to her with a firm voice if I have to, or if I'm in protective mode, like I sort of am now and she's doing something I don't like or is doing something she can't do." Aria explained, allowing both her sisters to know that she was still in somewhat in protective sister mode for Sonata. "Whatever." Adagio flatly replied without looking up. "Ok Sonata, you're coming with me. I don't trust you in here without me right now." Aria softly explained, grabbing the cookie off the coffee table and then turning to leave the living room. "Wait, I want my horseys." Sonata said, stopping Aria from leaving the living room and pointing down at her toy horses. "Alright, here you go." Aria replied, gently kneeling down, grabbing Sonata's toy horses off the living room floor and then handing them to her younger sister as she stood up and turned to leave again. Sonata took her horses from her older sister's hand and held onto them while her sister left the living room, stopping to take the cookie Sonata'd had and put it in the trash in the kitchen, since she knew Adagio wouldn't want it now that Sonata'd put it in her mouth. After doing that, she exited the kitchen and walked down the hall and into the laundry room to grab a laundry basket to put hers and Sonata's dirty clothes in, exiting the laundry room and walking back upstairs after getting a laundry basket. "Sorry Ari, I only took the cookie from her because I thought I could have it. You've never told me that I can't have cookies. You just told me no candy." Sonata explained to Aria as Aria walked a little ways down the hall after reaching the top of the stairs and walked into Sonata's bedroom. "It's ok Nata, you're not it trouble." Aria softly replied, gently kissing Sonata's forehead again before setting her down on the floor of her bedroom so she could get the dirty clothes from her laundry hamper. "Ari." Sonata said after watching her sister for a few seconds. "What?" Aria asked, pausing from taking Sonata's dirty clothes out of her laundry hamper to look over at her younger sister to see what she wanted. "I like it when you get all protective over me and don't want to leave me alone when you're being protective over me." Sonata answered, smiling at her older sister. "Thanks, but, I don't get protective over you to make you happy. I get protective over you because I love you." Aria softly explained, returning her younger sister's smile as she went back to getting her younger sister's clothes from her laundry hamper and putting them in the laundry basket to take them downstairs and wash them. "I know." Sonata replied before beginning to play with her toy horses while Aria took her dirty clothes from her laundry hamper and put them in the laundry basket she'd grabbed.
