❝ Hey Jiro, Saburo. ❞

❝ Let’s go see what this festival’s all about. Maybe we can pay mom and dad a visit while we’re there. ❞

Festival of celebrating the dead, it doesn’t feel too unfamiliar for them. Bon festival has probably passed in where they are from and it felt like it hasn’t been so long since they last visited their parents’ graveyard… and this place is obviously not Tokyo. They would have nowhere to visit now and yet–in the mood of the wistful occasion, the eldest just somehow had to bring that up.

“Nii-chan… Can we do that right here now?” his hesitation was expressed as clear as it is, “I mean, this isn’t Tokyo—their resting places aren’t supposed to be here… right?”

“Mom...dad...”

His voice quiet, fragile, on the verge of breaking. To bring this all up in a foreign place, the youngest brother’s frame was trembling. 

“I...haven’t been a good enough brother I...I-I....think they will hate me. I’m scared, Ichinii...Jironii...”

❝ You can start by being polite without Jiro. Seriously, you guys are family. Stop fighting and start acting like it, ❞ he’s going to flick Saburo’s forehead to place emphasis on his words.

@mcbigbro

Hmm. 

“Hey...Ichinii. How do you politely tell someone they have less mental capacity than a rock?”

❝ Saburo that’s not that I meant– ❞

Out of all parks she visits, it had to be the park belonging to these ambiguous canines. The visitors so far have had no real reaction towards these dogs. These canines act like any ordinary animal, but Tyrande still could not help feel something isn’t right. Their head turns towards footsteps; a young teen who completely ignores the existence of others. So even young people are unfazed…

Leaning back into the park bench, her head tilts to the side and voice laced with firm curiosity. 

“Greetings child…If I may ask, do these creatures intimidate you?”

@bustarry

To be fair, dogs like this freaked Saburo out a lot, but he’d learned to keep a straight face when it came to dealing with these canines with...how they looked. But at the other’s greeting, his eyes would widen in awe and wonder as he’d freeze in his tracks. She was speaking to someone like HIM? What’d he do to deserve this? Nervousness would strike this weakness, and Saburo will gulp, catching his breath. He just had to act like his older brothers, who didn’t get nervous or shit. 

Who was he kidding, his brothers lost their nerve plenty of times. 

“Well if I were to be truthful, this whole place is foreign to me, it’s all a lot to take in so I’m not completely sure intimidation has set in yet. I may or may not have been....a...l-little scared when I first see these fellas though. They act just like normal dogs though....so I don’t think they’ll start acting like a pack of wolves or anything...”

❝ Yeah, I know, ❞ his voice lowered as he reached over to gently stroke his hair, a frown on his lips.

❝ I’m supposed to be someone that you should look up to, yet here I am in a prison cell over something stupid. What kind of big brother am I if I’m gonna get in trouble over petty things like this? I promise not to let it happen again, so will you forgive me, Saburo? ❞

“Listen.”

A sigh, relenting as he feels the comfort of his brother’s hand. But he couldn’t relent!

do you want your brother to receive an extended sentence :)

“Okay, okay, calm down....stay chill...”

Yeah no that wasn’t going to happen. His stupid former delinquent older brother got arrested for rapping about girl’s t*ts. No matter what he heard, there’s no real reason for Ichiro to have done something like that. 

❝ Sorry about that, Saburo, you shouldn’t have heard any of that. Still, you ARE at that age where you’re going to get curious, so don’t be shy if you want to talk about it, okay? ❞
