When; February 23, morning
Rating; PG-13 just in case
Characters; Akiha seeking_heat; Shiki concept_killer
Summary; Not much to say here either. Once again, Shiki has offered ownership to Akiha, for two days. This recounts the morning of the first.
Log; Honestly, it was a fluke, placing Hisui in charge of waking Nii-san. So the young Mistress thought as she barged in entered her illustrious brother's room. Surveying her Nii-san's complacent form, a frustrated sigh escaped at the now-familiar sight.

If he's going to offer complete ownership rights, then his first duty is to wake up at the set time. Which she knew was an impossibility with him. The Tohno Head had lost track at the countless attempts Hisui had recounted to her. In that case, time to use the tested fail-safe Tohno technique.

Thump! The sounds reverberated as she kicked the bed. "It's time to wake up, Nii-san."

Much to her amazement, barely a tangle was about in his filaments. She truly didn't give Nii-san enough credit.

Although, some of these cowlicks were damn stubborn. One in particularly on this side, so she tried smoothing it over with her hand (noting the slight dampness from his shower).

Rather than the brush, he could feel her hand on his head. Not exactly something he hadn't felt before but still odd because she was supposed to be brushing it.

"What are you doing?"

[seeking-heat.livejournal.com]

Trying to untie the Gordian knot, apparently.

"I've managed to smooth most of your hair over, but this cheeky little thing is persistent."

At this point, she was alternating between her hand and the brush, with no luck.

Shiki couldn't help it. He was already starting to doze off. He ended up falling back onto Akiha, half asleep. Man, it was way to early.

"Ah, Nii-san."

For a moment, she considered if it was his anemia...until she noticed the tired expression on his face.

Was it too relaxing? She would have asked, if he was even conscious at this point.

Gently, she eased him into a more comfortable position, his head laying on her lap.

It was barely five minutes before he jolted back up, subconsciously realizing that he may have committed a great sin. He jumped up to his feet, holding his arms out in front of him as if warding off something.

"Sorry, Akiha! I stayed up a little too late last night and-!"

[seeking-heat.livejournal.com]

He worried for nothing, because she just chuckled at his exaggerated behavior.

"Don't worry. So long as you compensate for it by going to bed early tonight."

She really was lucky, having Nii-san around. If not for him, she wouldn't stand a chance of living a comfortable life in this City.

"I'll try but I don't know if I can promise that."

He said that yet he knew, even though it was still morning, that he could conk out the second he hit his bed. He never even heard of the statement "too much sleep".

"You misunderstand me Nii-san. Promises aren't necessary. Consider it an order."

She swished her hair and beamed at him.

"Now then, I believe next on the list is breakfast."

[concept-killer.livejournal.com]

"Um....right."

Shiki opened the door to her room in preparation to head out to the kitchen.

"What did you want?"

[seeking-heat.livejournal.com]

"Hmm, last time was pancakes. But I'm more in the mood for---croissants?"

[concept-killer.livejournal.com]

Shiki let out a sigh. He didn't even know how to make them but he'd give it a try.

"Meet you in the dining room?"

[seeking-heat.livejournal.com]

"Where else could I be?"

She was about to leave, but...after their bonding moment, she couldn't leave her thoughts unsaid.

"Oh, and Nii-san?"

[concept-killer.livejournal.com]

Shiki stopped in his tracks and turned around to acknowledge his sister.

Without hesitation, Akiha moved closer towards Shiki, wrapping her arms around him in an embrace.

"...Thank you. For everything that's happened since I arrived, you've always been there. For that, I am grateful."

[concept-killer.livejournal.com]

Shiki returned her hug, though softly and with care.

"That's what brothers are for, aren't they?"
