Work Text:

The phone rang twice before Candace picked it up. After a full day getting her college dorm just right and figuring out her new schedule, she was ready to collapse. But when her brother called, she answered.

“Phineas? What’s up?” She looked over at the clock. 11:00 wasn’t that late for her, but Phineas “Responsible” Flynn was never up at that time.

“I think you forgot something important back home,” he said. Candace frowned.

“Important? How important?”

“I’d guess pretty important. You had it for 12 years.”

Silence hung between them. Candace blinked back tears.

“I miss you too.”
