[ he's not sure how, but he's absolutely certain that it's one of those mornings where waking up would be a Bad Idea. even when he's only half-awake, he can feel the dull throb in his head, signaling the presence of a progressively worsening migraine. presses a hand to his forehead gingerly as he peeks open one eye. shuts it immediately when the light amplifies the headache even further. somehow manages to roll over onto his side with a soft groan, expression twisting into one of pain as he patterns out his breathing.

several minutes later, reattempts at opening his eyes. is successful this time, leaving him to blink owlishly at the blurry image of the (foreign-but-not) room laid out before him. jerks bodily when he realizes that this is not his room, but tony's. doesn't quite get to the point of throwing himself off the bed, however, hindered quite successfully by the pounding headache. feels slightly better upon realizing that tony's strangely absent, filling him with a sense of hope that he can get away unscathed. as such, he stubbornly pushes down the memories as he wraps his arms around his head, concentrating on breathing & recovering so that he can escape as soon as possible. ]

[ ruffles his hair fondly. ]

Okay. You can help me.

「 I'll be a big help. 」

[ looks around, trying to find something he can do. ends up picking up a fallen flower he spots, holding it up to anthony. ]

[ stares for a moment, then accepts the flower with one hand while the other gives another few pets to hiro's hair. ]

Thanks, little brother.

[ nods furiously, giving his usual enthusiastic tug to anthony's shirt in reply. ]

「 What else can I do? 」

[ one more pat to the head, then he points over to his usual work station. ]

You can help me water the flowers, if you want.

[ bounces in place a little, nodding a few more times before he scurries off in that direction. ]

[ shakes his head to clear it, then shuffles on after him. places the flower hiro had given him on a shelf for safe-keeping & grabs the watering can again to offer down to the younger boy. gestures to the potted plants around them. ]

Gently. Not too much water on one plant at once.

[ takes the watering can gingerly, adjusting it a little to accommodate his hands. lifts it to begin watering one of the pots, stopping it every other second to make sure he doesn't over-water it. pauses... then nods and scoots to the next one. ]

[ steps back to watch him with a small smile. keeps to his silence when hiro moves, giving a small nod of approval even if the boy may not be able to catch sight of it. feels the rest of his tension from the phone conversation with tony dribble away from his shoulders to something smaller (manageable) as he relaxes & basks in the moment. ]

[ keeps on waddling around anthony's station, peeking down at the pots that he can reach without any additional tip-toeing. scoots back to him when he's finished, setting the watering can down to type something. holds it up. ]

「 This is like watering the Berries in Pokemon. 」

[ blinks, then considers. ]

Yeah, a little bit. They're a bit harder to raise though.

「 Why? 」

They need more care. Not just water and sunlight.

「 Oh. 」 [ looks at the plants, then over at oliver. points to his back while looking up at anthony again. ] 「 Can he do it too? 」

[ lips twitch into another smile when he glances back at whom hiro had pointed to. ]

He can do it much better. He taught me everything.

[ gives a considering gaze to oliver. nods once. ]

「 Then he's your sensei. Nice sensei? 」

[ also nods. ]

Best sensei.

[ repeats after him: ]

「 Best sensei. 」

[ & then scoots over to oliver, getting close to the ground, as if hunting for a wild animal. when oliver turns around he snaps a picture of him quickly, shuffling back a few paces to stare down at the phone in silence. ]

[ steps forward to peer at the picture as well, then directs his attention toward oliver. ]

Don't worry, boss. He got your good side.

O-Oh... [ shuffles his feet a little bit. ] Um. T-Thank you?

[ nods a few times, holding it up for oliver to see. tugs on his shirt so that they're more on eye-level, turning slightly so that he can take a picture with him and (a rather confused-looking) oliver in it.

pulls away and stands, holding the cellphone up for anthony to see, as if he's expecting a pat or something for a job well done. ]

[ emits a small sound of amusement, then lifts his hand to bury it in hiro's hair as (silently) requested to ruffle at the strands. then tilts a bit when a thought hits him. ]

How about one with all three of us?

[ perks up even further at those words, nodding in agreement. looks up at oliver, tugging on him again before situating himself between them. tries to angle it just right, but after a moment he realizes that he's too short. tugs on their hands to bend down for him, wanting to make sure the shot will be just right. ]

[ lowers himself such that one of his knees is touching the ground, leaving his head to be about level with hiro's. ]

Better?

[ nods to him, then motions for oliver to do the same. when they're all situated he puts up his free hand's fingers into a "V" sign and-- click.

looks down at his cellphone proudly when he brings it back down again, making sure to label it with onii-chan and usagi-sensei written in the filename. ]
