My second piece featuring Carsyn!
AND a wholesome post, AGAIN!? Well, that depends... though it is SFW at least.
But poor Caedyn.... he just can't seem to catch a break.
Carsyn could be a little nicer sometimes...
STORY:
It's mid-morning, and Caedyn Squirrel is sitting alone at the table in the kitchen at the back of the house, having a little breakfast of sliced green apples and mixed nuts — cashews, pistachios, walnuts — all the good stuff! A squirrel boy's favorite!
He's trying to eat healthy so he can continue to grow and be big & strong some day!
Last night was a bit scary for him. Some huge and unusually powerful summer thunderstorms swept through town in multiple waves. The lightning and wind outside were very startling outside their two-story house. Caedyn was nervous, scared, and could not sleep. He gets afraid of strong storms! The electricity even flickered a few times. Not wanting to bother mama and papa, around midnight he crept into Carsyn's bedroom and asked his big brother if they should be worried, or perhaps even consider going down into the cellar for shelter?
Carsyn was a tiny bit worried, though only a fraction of Caedyn's worry.
"Eh, it'll be fine Caedyn.... just put some ear muffs on or something" mumbles half-asleep Carsyn deliriously, as he rolls over and pulls the blanket and pillow over his head, to fall back asleep.
Caedyn shuffles across the dark carpeted hallway (amidst the loud bangs of thunder) and back to his own bedroom, softly closing his bedroom door, and tries to fall asleep again. He drags the pillow over his little squirrel ears, trying to drown out the thunder and the wind.
The storms eventually pass through around 3 a.m. and things calmed down. At some point, Caedyn finally fell asleep. But he had nightmares about tornadoes, lightning, and floods! When he next opened his eyes, it was already morning, and the birds outside were chirping happily.
Everything did end up being fine, and this morning — while still damp and humid from last night's downpours — was turning out quite sunny and nice. A new day dawning. It's going to be another hot July day, it appears.
Caedyn heads downstairs for a small breakfast, served by mama Caroline, since Papa was already at work.
Midway through his breakfast snack, he hears big brother Carsyn come downstairs from his bedroom and into the kitchen. Today is baseball practice for Carsyn, and mama Caroline is washing Carsyn's outfit before she drives him to practice.
Carsyn sneaks up on Caedyn from behind.
"Good morning, fraidy-Caedy!" he says in a sarcastic tone, making fun of Caedyn's fear of storms from last night, and gives him a prolonged "noogie" on the head.
Caedyn dislikes it when Carsyn uses such mocking nicknames. It hurts his feelings :(
The noogie was not aggressively hard, but it still hurt.
"Owww... stop it Carsyn!!!" Mom!!!"
Caroline hears Caedyn's shout and gently yells remotely from the laundry room, where she was busy drying clothes. Yelling in the traditional (but gentle) motherly scold, she tells Carsyn to stop picking on his little brother! "Be nice you two!"
Carsyn steals a couple apple chunks off Caedyn's plate, then walks out of the kitchen.
Caedyn's used to it, but just wishes his big brother would treat him more as an equal, even though they are a few years apart. Perhaps some day, he wishes....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carsyn just has a different, bolder personality. While it seems like bullying to Caedyn, big bro doesn't always truly mean it that way.
Sometimes Carsyn just overlooks that his timid little brother doesn't like "rough-housing" or being treated like Carsyn's competitive jock-type friends, who give each other a hard time and like to play more aggressively.
In Carsyn's mind, this type of interaction is "all in good fun", and he's just trying to get Caedyn to be playful too.
Perhaps big bro is trying to toughen Caedyn up, for his own good?
In such a scary world, perhaps Caedyn should toughen up...?
