"Big sis is back from college!"

My adorable little brother; my adorable, always cheerful, clever, inoffensive little brother.

I smiled as I poured coffee into a mug, and turned around, leaning against the kitchen counter.

"Hey little bro." I said, chuckling softly.

"Mom know you're back?" He asked, as I took a sip.

"You were sleeping, I got here at around 11 last night. Saw her before she went to bed." I said.

"Interesting t-shirt by the way. Hellfire club?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's a D&D club." He said, grinning.

"Like an official club? Or still in Mike Wheeler's basement?" I asked, with a smirk.

"After school club. Mike is in it with me, and Lucas." He said.

"No Will?" I asked.

"He lives in California, now." He explained.

"So just you three now then?" I asked.

"No, with a couple of seniors." He added.

"Very nice. You made friends then?" I asked, as he rolled his eyes.

"Yes I actually did. But we all can't be as popular as you were." He said.

"Was I popular?" I asked, playfully.

"You know you were." He said, smiling.

"Not as popular as Steve Harrington." I mused.

"Yeah and he works at family video now. How the mighty have fallen." He said.

"He's earning money, paying his way. Not everyone goes to college." I said.

"Speaking of college, how are you finding it?" He asked, sitting down at the breakfast counter.

"It's cool, I guess." I said, with a shrug.

I watched him pour lucky charms into two bowls and add milk, and I frowned slightly.

"Okay, and who's the other bowl for?" I asked, as he grinned.

"For me." A voice purred.

The voice and it's accompanying body strolled into the kitchen, wearing a broad smile.

"Henderson." He said, and then turned to me.

"Lady Henderson." He said, saluting me.

The mug in my hand slipped and I just caught it, clearing my throat awkwardly.

"You okay?" He asked, as I nodded hurriedly.

"Coffee, makes me a little jittery." I said, as Dustin raised an eyebrow.

"My sister, Delilah. Delilah, this is Eddie Munson. Not sure if you ever met, seeing as you were Queen Bee?" Dustin said, introducing us with a grin.

"Shut up, loser. But no, I don't think we ever met?" I asked him.

"Don't think we did, it's a pleasure. You're home from college?" He asked.

"As of yesterday, yeah." I answered, as he tucked into the bowl of lucky charms, leaning casually against the kitchen door.

He was wearing the same T-shirt as Dustin, I noticed.

"You're in Hellfire too?" I asked, making small talk.
