insert sappy lyrics about a thousand years

[They sure have had their ups and downs... But now that they're living together, things will be better, probably. Or at least - that's what Chizuru has high hopes for. She supposes she will never be able to have friends over ever again (not if that friend is "Okita," anyway - Saitou might be acceptable in her big brother's eyes, though), but she won't be lonely, either, because now Kaoru is here.

SO HERE THEY ARE... Kodo is off doing his thing and probably making bad dad jokes somewhere far away from them, and that leaves Chizuru to make breakfast because, well, that's what she always does. Her brother moving in sure won't change that! So when he wanders in she smiles brightly and looks up from where she's setting some food down on the table.]


Oh! Good morning!

[THIS IS

pretty surprising, actually. Kaoru hasn't ever lived alone, exactly, and he has a blessedly decent relationship with the family that he had grown up with, but he's still a very self-sufficient person by nature. That means taking care of things on his own, from cleaning to cooking, so it's been quite literally years since the last time anyone has ever made breakfast before he could. ...Granted, he's also self-sufficient in a very small scope sort of way, meaning he's used to only making breakfast for himself sO IT'S PROBABLY GOOD SHE GOT HERE FIRST.

That said, he pauses in the doorway for a second, a little uncertain. Very much like a cat brought into new quarters, basically, right down to the somewhat stiff greeting she'll be getting.]


—Good morning. [PEERING... peering around... looking at the food and back to Chizuru but not taking a seat just yet.] ...Is this for both of us?

[Clearly he thinks that Chizuru is actually just a food black hole in a clever human disguise!!! Or yeah, even with the portions, it's just hard to imagine that someone else has cooked for him.

He still seems somewhat hesitant as he wanders into the room, but at least he isn't doing that thing he had done when he first arrived where he just looks around suspiciously at every inch of whatever place he's in, like he's either trying to find a hidden burglar or memorize the layout for future criminal activities. He pulls the chair out that's facing the direction the front door is in, taking a seat and looking down at the spread.]


If you made it, I'm sure it's fine. [Said before he even tries anything... He'll wait for Chizuru to take a seat before he does, either way.] How early did you wake up to make this, though?

[WOW..... Look apparently food just surprises him, he's a loser and that's a blanket explanation.]

Thanks. [Is the automatic response to her pouring him tea, and he pulls the cup over toward himself. It isn't super frigid out yet, but it's still nice to start the day off with something warm, and it's even nicer to be able to enjoy that warmth with Chizuru. It's never really bothered him, but getting ready for school alone is definitely a... quieter experience.

But speaking of old habits dying hard, Kaoru glances up at her answer, almost like he sEES RIGHT THROUGH THAT LIE.]


And what time is that?

[YEAH, HE SEES THAT. More importantly, for vague stalkery Kaoru reasons, he knows that 6 is her usual wake-up time...]

Isn't that an hour early?

[WHY DOES HE ASK THAT LIKE IT'S NORMAL. He's reaching for an orange while he talks, though, so apparently it is normal to him. Why did she decide that living with this nerd was a good idea??]

[DON'T LOOK AT HIM LIKE THAT. He seems vaguely confused though, like it isn't normal to know the schedule of someone you don't live with??]

Someone heard you mention it to one of your friends before and let me know.

[wh...y......]

Because I asked them to. [Like duh gosh why else!! Why is she stuck with a brother like this, more like... That said, his totally 100% sound logic for this is:]

It's an older brother's job to know these things.

[This is why she can't have nice things... good lord, Chizuru. EVEN IN THIS LIFE. He looks a little taken aback by that statement though, because he's just as much of a moron.]

It wasn't spying! [It totally was...] And I can't just ask things like that.

I can't ask you, but it's different if someone else overhears it!

[What kind of insane assbackwards logic is that?? It's the logic of a friendless loser, that's what...

But since Kaoru has reincarnated into someone who isn't a fullthrottle shithead, he does look a little discomforted because he hadn't meant to upset Chizuru at all... By his count, his actions made complete sense!!]


...I won't ask for it anymore, if you don't like them doing that. [Implying he still does it even now...]

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-12-02 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
[WELL THAT LOGIC seems to get through to him at least, because apparently the twin appeal is just something that will always stick with him. He still looks a little embarrassed about this entire mess though, because dAMMIT, the sibling thing is harder to do than he thought...]

Then... I'll ask, if it's something I'm curious about. [Are you really ready to accept that, Chizuru. ARE YOU... BECAUSE IT'S TOO LATE TO GO BACK NOW. He picks at his eggs, gaze firmly fixed on his plate.]

I didn't really think that it would be so important to you.

[THERE ARE SOME THINGS LOGIC CAN'T BYPASS and terminal insanity is one of them...]

I just wasn't expecting it, that's all. [Which seems to be the truth, at least. A vaguely embarrassed truth, but one nonetheless.]

—Breakfast is good.
