ep 3
Instead, he found himself sprawled awkwardly on the floor by his bedroom door, hair mess, one sock missing.
He rubbed the back of his head, confused as hell.
Arzhel Callahan (ML)
...What the hell was that dream?
He muttered, stumbling to his feet.
What he didn't notice was the umbrella resting neatly on his desk.
He walked downstairs toward the kitchen like he hadn't collapsed from ghost-induced trauma a few hours ago. Hair messy, wearing a hoodie, one shock missing.
inside, the rest of the family sat like a magazine ad for 'The Perfect Life' - his dad reading the paper, his mom sipping coffee elegantly, his older brother scrolling his tablet, and his sister checking herself out the phone camera.
Arzhel, the family's official walking disappointment, rule-breaker, chaos incarnate, spoiled youngest child of the wealthy family, dropped into his usual seat at the end of the table.
His sister's eyes flicked up from her phone, catching sight of his hair sticking out like a bird's nest and the world-weary expression on his face.
She immediately burst out laughing.
Lara Callahan (ML's sister)
Holy hell, Arzhel, you look like you wrestled a ghost and lost.
Arzhel Callahan (ML)
Shut up, Satan's secretary.
Arzhel shot back, grabbing a piece of toast.
Lara Callahan (ML's sister)
Aw, did Casper spook you?
Arzhel Callahan (ML)
Casper would be less horrifying than your face in the morning.
Lara Callahan (ML's sister)
You wish you could handle this level of gorgeous.
She smirked, flipping her hair dramatically.
Their big brother grinned behind his mug, watching the familiar sibling bickering like his favorite morning show.
Their mother let out a tired sigh, not even glancing up.
Cleo Callahan (ML's mom)
For the love of God, can we have one breakfast without turning it into a cage fight?
Then came the signature move.
Their father cleared his throat - a single, sharp sound sliced through the chaos like a blade.
The house felt silent in an instant.
Both Arzhel and Lara glared at each other one last time before begrudgingly returning to their food.
The perfect picture of a family.
On the surface.
But under the table?
Arzhel kicked his sister's shin.
She kicked back.
Big bro grinned wider.
And mom muttered something about needing stronger coffee.
