          a light tussle between friends isn’t anything to worry about, especially when it’s considered the NORM for them. maybe ‘friends’ isn’t the word some people would use when referring to the pair, maybe even they wouldn’t, but when it comes down to it, it’s not as though ALL they do is fight.  (  sometimes they stare at each other. )

          after their most recent one, link’s crouching on the ground to offer the other a helping hand.

                sitting in the living room, akihiko and yu had been talking about various topics. there was something on yu’s mind that he’d been avoiding bringing up for a while. it was getting harder to keep quiet about it, though. it wasn’t like it was particularly bad, but yu didn’t want to risk upsetting akihiko. they had been getting along so well, almost as if they hadn’t had years of distance ( there wouldn’t have been any issues if yu had just stopped being resentful, but he digressed ). 

“hey there shorty.”

“I uh...I don’t wanna start somethin’ but...”

         “Keep up with you? Aki-kun, I wiped the floor with you! You’re the one keeping up with me!” {/If anything, Asahina was sure she was in the lead! She’s got to be if she’s ever going to beat the future Super High School Level Track star. Her little bro was good, but she had to be good too! Picking out an orange from her little bag, she quickly downed it before discarding the carcass and putting it back in the bag.}

         “Yeah yeah! A couple of more miles! Then, we eat like kings!”

         “...Sanada...-san?”

          Every exhale is painful, every inhale even more so. Yet, she tries to speak up so her cousin will know that she does acknowledge him. Although her voice is naught more than a weak whisper. It was good to see him. That familiar silver hair and silver eyes. The cousin who wasn’t her cousin by blood, but rather by association. Nanako still loved him the same. It took a great deal of effort, but she raised her arms to him. 

          She wanted a hug.
