I always forgot my lines when she was there. Teacher had to feed them to me to keep the play going.

[aididitmyway]

And she never cared. Neither did Ichigo or Miyako. I bet the recordings are still at home somewhere, right?

[aiwillneversmile]

They're on a DVD. Director probably hid them away along with our other memories.

[aididitmyway]

Maybe I'll see if I can buy them and then show them to your friends here. They can all see how cute Aqua was—

[she doesn't like being sad long, nor being serious, so she's gonna grab onto what she can]

[aiwillneversmile]

[and absolutely going to let her steer the conversation in any direction she wants]

As if you could ever save up enough points for that. Something like that definitely costs, at least, 10 points.

[aididitmyway]

A movie was a point.

There's no way it can be that bad!

[aiwillneversmile]

It's from our home, and there's only one copy in the world. With those two facts alone, you should be prepared to pay a lot just to embarrass me.

[aididitmyway]

What if the shop does offer it for cheap, though? Should I still insist on paying more since it involves your dignity?

[aiwillneversmile]

No, because you should use your points on yourself. And don't buy it at all, it will ruin my chances with anyone. They'll keep thinking back to what I looked like as a kid.

[aididitmyway]

Ehhh...

I'll consider it. What are you going to do for me if I don't buy it?

[aiwillneversmile]

I'll buy you cake.

[aididitmyway]

Can't I get the cake for free here as long as I've got someone else?

[aiwillneversmile]

[right, they're not home anymore]

B Komachi concert DVDs, then.

[aididitmyway]

Fine.

But only if you pick the best concerts! I know you know which ones I'd want.

[aiwillneversmile]

[running a thought about missions over in his head before letting it go]

Of course. I couldn't forget your favorites. I'll even dig out some underground footage. Haah, congratulations on extorting family, you manic idol fan.

[aididitmyway]

You could've blackmailed me back, you know.

[aiwillneversmile]

I'm saving that option for a more opportune time.

[aididitmyway]

Just remember that I know all of your secrets. Or most of them. The embarrassing ones, at least.

[so be a good brother ok]

[aiwillneversmile]

You need to have a demand with that kind of threat. Otherwise, you're simply stating facts.

[aididitmyway]

I'm just saying it so that you don't forget it.

[She gives his hands a squeeze again, before getting up and turning around so that she can pull him into a proper hug.]

[aiwillneversmile]

[oh, there are hugs now, hugging back after a beat of confusion]

I could never. Especially with someone as insistent as you.

[aididitmyway]

I know.

[she takes a deep breath, kinda nuzzling into the hold (but not so much to make it weird), it's just the action of someone craving a tight hug]

Thank you. For the B-Komachi stuff you're going to get me, but for also always being my brother.

[aiwillneversmile]

[. . . hugging tightly?? what is even going on]

Not that I had a choice in either of those, but . . . You're welcome.

[aididitmyway]

[can't a girl just hug her brother in peace!!!!!!]

You definitely had a choice. You just spoil me.

[aiwillneversmile]

And look how you turned out. I've created a monster.

[mmmm, loosening his hold on her then there's a small jerk, carefully pushing at her shoulders. off]
