Wait? He’s that Raven on the internet?

Saturday had finally arrived, and Raven was up and ready to start his day at 7am, eager to enjoy the weekend, but he was jolted awake by the unexpected weight of an 80 pound girl jumping onto his bed, replacing the usual sound of his alarm.

"Wake up! Everyone is home today, which is a rare occurrence."

"Don't worry," Raven says as he takes Mia into his arms and groans, "it's the weekend, they'll understand."

Raven's embrace loosens as Mia wriggles free, her lips turned down in a pout.

"Come on." She said, pulling his body out of his bed.

With a thud, Raven hits the floor, and his eyes slowly flutter open to gaze at Mia.

"Can you not let this young man sleep? It's very important for teenagers to get 8-10 hours of sleep."

"It's essential to prioritise adequate sleep to support physical and cognitive development during adolescence."

Raven spoke lazily, punctuating each word with a mid-sentence yawn.

Mia was at a loss for words when she looked at Raven, unable to refute him, as every word he spoke was true.

Mia's shoulders slumped as she accepted the undeniable logic of Raven's argument.

She changed her approach, adopting a more forceful tone, and said, "You either get up now or I block your mouth for five minutes and see how long you last?"

Mia's lips curved upwards, and she licked them as her eyes locked onto his, a smile spreading across her face.

Raven's spine tingled with an icy chill, compelling him to leap up in an instant.

He then hesitated, wondering if he was making the right decision.

'Her offer doesn't seem that bad?'

With his arm wide-open and playful eyes, he lay back down on the ground, waiting for her to join him.

Mia couldn't help blushing when she saw what he was doing.

"Humph, I'm going to tell mom that you secretly tried to enter my room at night."

Raven's expressions froze and stood up and grabbed Mia from behind.

Mia was taken aback by his sudden, unexpected behaviour.

Her foot caught on something, and she tumbled onto the bed, taking Raven down with her.

Mia landed on top of Raven while he settled underneath her.

Their mother became curious when she heard no noise coming from upstairs, where Mia was supposed to be waking Raven up.

As she approached the door, she noticed it was already open.

She entered the room, and the bright sunlight streaming in through the window momentarily blinded her. Her gaze flicked over to the bed, where she saw Mia and Raven entwined in an unusual way.

"Cough, can you two calm down? It's so early in the morning."

She coughed, and her eyes took on a strange, almost accusing look as she gazed at them.

Mia's face flushed with heat, and she stumbled over her words.

"M-Mom! It's not what it looks like," Mia said, trying to untangle herself from Raven.

"I-I just tripped, and Raven was trying to help me up."

Mia's mother looked at her and burst out laughing.

"Yeah? How is he going to help you up when you're on top of him?"

Mia's face turned a deeper shade of red, and she opened her mouth to speak, but her mother beat her to it.

"You act like I don't know the relationship between you two? Hell, I watched you two have your first kiss."

Mia gave up all resistance and plopped on top of Raven's body.

Raven lets out a groan as he struggles to breathe under the extra weight.

"Alright, you two. Get up. Your father and brother are waiting downstairs for you two so we can have breakfast."

Raven and Mia nodded and got ready for the day, washing up before heading downstairs.

As they settled into their seats at the table, they exchanged friendly hellos with their father and brother.

"So Raven, how was your first week of school?" His dad asked.

Raven's eyes flicked up to meet his as he swallowed the last bite of his food.

"Fine, nothing special, just school."

His dad gave a careless nod and went back to his meal.

He wasn't much of a talker, and since his son said he was fine, he was most likely fine.

Mia couldn't resist rolling her eyes on the side.

Nothing special? You nearly died, became my boyfriend, and changed all of your courses to enrich class.

In addition, his soccer skills are off the charts.

Mia's eyes couldn't help but linger on Raven with envy, thinking about his soccer skills these past days.

As she looked at Raven, who was eating, Raven smiled back at her.

Mia blushed, feeling the heat rise to her cheeks, but she kept her head down and continued eating.

The sound of the morning news filled the room as breakfast ended in a flash.

HIs father listened to the TV, and more he listened, the deeper his frown became.

"Inflation increased again." He muttered.

His wife came to his side and sat down next to him.

"Andrew, maybe it won't be too bad in a couple of years."

Andrew nodded. "Maybe you're right, Kristal."

Hearing his parents' words, Raven couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief.

Canada is experiencing a sharp increase in inflation, and Ontario is suffering from it.

Two years from now, the COVID pandemic of 2019 will be the main reason for this.

But he doesn't have to worry about any of this, as his parents earn a monthly income of 500,000 dollars.

This is because his dad runs an electric company with his grandfather.

Raven knows that his father's business primarily serves the military, but he has little knowledge of its operations.

He also knows that his dad helped his brother get a Job after studying psychology.

Raven shook his head and didn't care and continued to scroll through his phone.

He was always ready to solve any troubles his parents might have by himself.

By the time all this happens, he'll have reached the required age, so that's the only obstacle.

Mia couldn't stand listening to their parents talk any longer, so she quietly made her way over to Raven.

Raven, who was too busy checking his replies and analytics on YouTube and twitch while asking Vanessa to process them, and didn't notice Mia at all.

Sneaking up behind Raven, Mia peered over his shoulder to glimpse at his phone screen.

When she saw his phone screen, her eyes widened in surprise.

She watched as he logged into his YouTube account and eagerly checked the number of subscribers.

The word "Raven" was displayed at the top of the page, followed by the number "255,629" below it.

Mia took in a deep breath and exhaled.

She couldn't imagine that Raven was that Raven on the internet that has been the talk around school.

She felt a little pride in her heart, now knowing that they were speaking about her lover and brother.

As she thought about Raven, Mia wondered if there were more secrets she wasn't aware of.

Ever since the end of the summer break, it was as if a mist had settled over his body, obscuring what lay beneath.

While Raven was scrolling through his phone, he suddenly felt a hot breeze on his neck.

He turned to see Mia standing behind him, staring at his screen.

Raven coughed, the sound echoing through the empty room, and shut off his phone.

"What's up Mia?"

Mia's gaze met Raven's, and she remained silent. She took a few steps towards him and plopped down by his side.

With a curious expression, she gazed at Raven for a moment before finally speaking.

"What else are you hiding?"

Raven touched his face, searching for the right words to say.

A wicked thought occurred to him, and he leaned in towards her ears with a malicious smile.

"If you come to my room at night, you'll find one big one."

Raven emphasised the word "big," prolonging it for a second as he spoke.

Mia blushed, feeling his warm breath tickle her ear and send shivers down her spine.

"N-no. I-I don't want to know."

Their father, Andrew, looked at them with a perplexed expression and turned to Kristal, their mother, seeking clarification.

Kristal raised her eyebrows and tilted her head upwards, silently telling him to follow her upstairs.

He nodded, his eyes lingering on the two before following Kristal up the stairs.

After his father left, Will, who had been sitting down listening to the TV, grew bored and turned to his two siblings.

"Do you guys want to head out to the store? I'll pay."

With a single look, Raven communicated his question to Mia: What do you want?

Mia understood immediately and nodded her head.

"Sure we'll go."

Will's eyes lingered on the two with a hint of longing.

He wished he had such a good sibling relationship, but sadly, the generation gap made it difficult when they were young.

Unbeknownst to him, their connection surpassed that of typical siblings.
