t e l l me (Cora)

[because]

Bradly yawned heavily, rubbing his head sleepily. It was a Sunday, so Puddlemere didn't have practice. He had a light hangover from poker with the team yesterday, but it wasn't affecting him much. He shuffled into the kitchen, scratching his stubble. He hadn't shaved in a few days, but he didn't mind. Dean was probably off wandering like he always did. Sulking had become quite a habit of his. As he began to brew himself some coffee, someone shuffled into the kitchen.

Cora rubbed the sleep from her eyes, feeling something like a zombie. She knew she looked dreadful, but she didn't have the energy to put effort into her appearance this morning. So she had thrown on a pair of sweatpants and a big sweatshirt and called it an outfit. "Morning Bradly," she mumbled to her brother before plopping down at the kitchen table. She ran a hand through her long blonde hair, wondering vaguely what was wrong with the world.

Bradly nodded as he poured his freshly brewed coffee into his favorite Puddlemere United mug and shoved his mouth full of a cold piece of cinnamon roll. He came and sat next to his sister, placing a small kiss on her head after swallowing his food. After taking a large swig of coffee, he looked at her. "How'd you sleep?" he asked thoughtfully. His mind traveled to her and Dean's latest battle, the one in which the cause had yet to be revealed. He shrugged off the thought; Bradly was planning on interregating his sister later anyway.

Cora forced herself to give Bradly a tired smile after he kissed her on the head. Her brother was far too kind; Cora shuddered to think of what he would do if he ever found out about what she did to Dean. She didn't deserve his kindness. "Alright," Cora replied, lying just a little bit. Her nights had been plagued with nightmares for a while now, so Cora was used to sleeping very little. "How was your sleep?" she asked to be polite.

[because]

"Babylike." Bradly replied, being only slightly sarcastic. He had gotten up once or twice to check on his younger siblings. Both seemed to be plaqued by nightmares. He figured it was some weird twin thing, and he never questioned that. He took another swig of coffee, noticing for the first time her outfit. Normally she was at least dressed in her nice pajamas with her hair straightened out. Cora looked very odd like that.

Cora nodded in reply before staring at the table for a moment, trying to wake up a bit more. When she looked back up, Bradly was staring at her. "What?" she asked, her voice only slightly snappish. It was more joking in quality, though. "It's early, I'm not going to dress up to come out into the kitchen." Cora smiled slightly. Her Veela hair was the only thing about her appearance that looked good this morning, and she was glad of it. Her straight blonde hair was quite easy to manage.
