#fated affliction

It was already quite late..

Well, for Rin at least.. Yukio still had a few more hours of work to do before he was to call it quits. Even then, he'd only get so much sleep before he had to wake up again and start another day. It was just worrying.. Normally, by now, Rin would be snoring away in his bed. But the other had yet to even return home. For most of the night his phone remained silent. The text he had sent remained unanswered and, at this point, Yukio wasn't even working. Instead, he waited impatiently. Staring at the clock.. Tapping his pen against the remainder of his paperwork, he'd been about to give up and call by the time he heard the door open.

For the dramatic effect, Yukio lowered his gaze to look down at the watch on his wrist, not bothering to turn and greet the other.

"You're late."

That's right.. No friendly 'welcome back' was offered. He was irritated and he'd let Rin know it at this point.

He'd given the other enough chances.. That older brother of his. While Yukio had been getting ready, he tried numerous times to wake his brother up.

"Nii-san...!"

One last try before he decided it was time to actually act. Of course, he could easily just leave the other to sleep. It was his loss, right? But he insisted on making sure that Rin got to school. So he sat on the other's bed with a sigh. How was he supposed to go about this? Shifting so he had one hand on one side of his brother and the other on the opposite.. He figured he could do something like... No that was embarrassing. Luckily, he spotted something really annoying before he let the thought cross his mind.

Manga.

He could feel his eye twitch as he moved to pick the volume up. Was this why Rin was sleeping in?

"..."

Without really thinking he had slapped the manga down onto Rin's face once before he got back up and placed the book onto his own desk.

"You have ten minutes! If you're not up and in class by then I'm giving you extra homework."

Nii-san, 

I ordered out tonight to give you a break from cooking.  Your favorite. 

You’ve been doing well so I suppose you deserve it… Relax for awhile, alright? I’ll be home soon. 

As the letter continued, you could see where he started hesitating and thinking of how he should continue his little note. Some dots were present on the page, showing where he tapped at the paper thoughtfully. But the letter did continue.

…… Love you.

“Hmph… Nii-san…” 

The younger of the two leaned in, brushing his own lips against his brother’s. “You’re so greedy..~” A comment meant for teasing the other, of course. He just didn’t give Rin time to respond to that, capturing the halfling’s lips with his own for a few moments.

all began following you!

Looking up from his pile of schoolwork, the young exorcist's expression fell for a moment, but quickly perked back up. It was a lot of people, far more than usually hung around the cram school, especially at this time of day. Which, by extension, meant a lot of people to greet - he was far too polite to continue on working without saying hello! As much as a pain as it was, the young man hopped out of his seat, blond hair falling over his shoulders, and offered a wide smile (one that was certainly not entirely genuine, but it was the thought that mattered, right?).
