OMGOMG could I request a specific PLATONIC comfort fic with dark choco and kind-hearted innocent little sister teen reader?
hereās the premise: years ago, reader was only a little child, she was inseparable with her big brother until he was banished from the kingdom
since then, reader was living a very lonely life, without friends and living as a lonely princess, and very upset with her fathers negligence towards the kingdom citizens. She was always too scared to stand up to dark cacao
then, during the events of chapter 13 and 14, where dark choco comes back with the cookies of darkness, fights his father, and cacao goes beserk, reader (who is now a teenager) witnesses everything and is traumatized and scared
then, before choco leaves again, he has an emotional reunion with his sister and comforts her through her fears and reassures her after everything she witnesessed
I totally understand if you skip this request!! Iām sorry if itās so specific you donāt have to do this!

back when you were small, barely able to walk without stumbling, your brother would always be there. steady, patient, warm. heād lift you onto his shoulders to see the snow fall from the citadelās towers, chuckle softly when you offered him your half-eaten jellies, and pull you into his cloak whenever the wind bit too hard.
ādonāt cry,ā he used to whisper. āiāll always be right here.ā
but he hadnāt been. not for a long time.
you were just a child when it happened. one moment, your world was whole. the next, it shattered like spun sugar dropped from a great height.
dark choco cookie had been banished. your brother, your hero, exiled for crimes you were too young to understand. no one told you the full story. no one would even speak his name.
not your cold, distant father. not the guards who averted their eyes. not the noble cookies who called you āthat cursed childās sister.ā
and so you grew up alone, buried in silence and frost. a princess in name only. no friends, no laughter. just echoes of a brother who once shielded you from the cold and a father who seemed more stone than cookie.
you wanted to be brave. you wanted to stand up to dark cacao cookie, demand answers, demand kindness. for yourself, and for the kingdomās forgotten citizens. but your voice never came when you needed it most.
then the sky split open with lightning.
you werenāt allowed near the throne room when the battle began, but the sound alone was enough to chill your core. the earth shook. shouts echoed like thunder. screams... so many screams. and then, his voice.
a voice you hadnāt heard since childhood, deeper now, colder⦠but unmistakable. your brother.
down crumbling halls, past fallen soldiers and shattered walls, heart pounding like a war drum. the air was thick with smoke and something darker. something heavy, like regret turned to shadow.
by the time you arrived, it was almost over.
dark cacao cookie, barely standing, eyes wild and lost.
dark choco cookie, scarred and still as stone, the cursed sword humming in his hand.
your knees hit the ice. your voice cracked into a sob. and both of them turned. you hadnāt known what you expected: anger, hatred, dismissal.
but when dark chocoās crimson eye landed on you, something broke. not in fear. in him.
he stepped forward slowly, sword sheathed. every movement was hesitant, unsure, like he was afraid youād vanish if he moved too quickly.
"...dark choco cookie?"
you choked out his name. just his name. nothing else could pass your lips through the tears. he dropped to his knees before you. and for a moment, he wasnāt the feared warrior, the traitor, the cursed.
he was your brother again.
you reached out with trembling hands and touched his face. scarred, cold, and wet with something you werenāt sure was snow or tears.
"i-i was so scared," you whispered. "you⦠you fought father. you⦠you looked like you were going to⦠to crumble-"
he wrapped his arms around you. warm. strong. shaking.
"iām sorry," he breathed into your hair. "i never wanted⦠i never meant for you to get caught in this."
you clung to him. like you were still that little girl who used to hide behind his cape.
"i thought you hated us. i thought youād forgotten me."
his grip tightened, not in fear but desperation. "i never forgot you. never. i remembered your smile. i remembered your voice."
you buried your face into his cloak. "but you leftā¦"
"i didnāt have a choice,"" he whispered. "but i came back. not for him. for you."
his voice broke. cracked like something fragile inside him finally gave way. "you were the only light i ever had. and i⦠i let it go out."
you pulled back, cupped his cheek. he flinched. like he thought he didnāt deserve your touch.
"youāre here now," you said, your voice small but firm. "and iām not letting you disappear again. not without saying goodbye. not without knowing youāre okay."
for the first time in years, you saw it. a flicker of the boy he once was. a broken smile, faint and trembling.
"i donāt know if iāll ever be okay," he said, forehead resting against yours, "but⦠i can be strong again. for you."
he stood, helping you to your feet, brushing frost from your shoulders like he used to when you fell.
"i canāt stay," he said softly. not yet. the world still hates me. but one dayā¦"
he placed something in your hand: a small pendant, carved from a shard of his shattered sword.
"iāll come back. for good."
you held it close to your heart and watched him vanish into the storm. but this time, the silence he left behind didnāt hurt quite as much. because now, you had hope. and the warmth of his promise.
