Hera's Protective Brother

Hunter's two large purple eyes held Felicity's whole world in them. Seeing them wet with tears squeezed her heart painfully. She admired her son's strong will as the boy kept blinking to stop the tears from spilling out. He successfully held them back and swallowed his sobs. 

"Grow up soon, little witch. I'll marry you when I come back," he promised and placed an orange candy bar next to Hera's small pillow. Suddenly, Hera turned to her side, and her tiny fist closed around the sweet. She giggled at Hunter merrily. The latter scowled in response while the former kicked her legs with all her strength. 

"Huh, you're so shameless," he stated in disapproval, and Hera shook her head, blowing raspberries at him. He grimaced in disgust, looking at the excess saliva pooling around her lips. "Stop drooling. No manners at all," he scolded. He couldn't understand why her giggles would get louder every time he spoke to her.
