[ double-checks that everything in the house is straightened and in its proper place, despite having cleaned everything earlier that morning. a few peeks up the stairs towards her brother's room is the only other movement she makes besides nudging things here and there, taking a seat on the edge of a chair when she realizes that it probably won't be very long now. is quite aware (was made aware) that her brother had tricked anthony into thinking they were going to meet at twelve instead of twelve-thirty, but still can't help but glance outside the front window every few minutes to make sure that she would be there when he arrived. ]

[ & now back to her: ]

. . . Oh.

1/2

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ blushes, looking apologetic. ]

Yes... I'm sorry.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ then snaps out of it when another thought comes to mind, scooting away from the door again. ]

Oh, but you're more than welcome to come in and wait! I promise it's clean. Are you thirsty? Hungry?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head & steps inside. stares at the interior for a moment, then takes off his shoes to tuck them neatly against the wall. ]

Thanks. Uh, just water's good.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ smiles and nods, moving away from the door after shutting it, motioning for him to follow her. ]

How have you been, Anthony? Good?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ sets the helmet down next to his shoes & follows along. ]

Yeah, I've been good. Trying not to think about marks. You?

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

Very good, thank you! [ nabs a glass when they arrive, filling it up with water. hands it over, lightly leaning forward on the counter with her elbows. ] My summer break just started.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ stares at the nice kitchen for a moment. then his attention's back on anne: ]

Whoo, freedom. Do you have anything planned?

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ looks down at the counter, shoulders slumping a bit. ]

Tutoring. I didn't do very well in biology...

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ reaches over to give one of her hands a pat. ]

It's not you. Biology is evil. My dad used to hate it too.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ it takes her a while but she slowly smiles at that, giving a short nod. ]

And what are you doing this summer?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ quirks a small, quick smile in turn before he considers the question. keeping his thoughts away from what he used to do during the summer-- ]

Just work, probably. A lot of it.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ gives an encouraging, almost hopeful smile as she tries to add on: ]

Um... practice, too?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ looks over his shoulder briefly. ]

Right. Yeah. Practice, and training to be Spartan. In-between work.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ nods a few time, brightening considerably. ]

Oh, good! You are more than welcome to come visit the shop, too!

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ seems to relax a bit at the words, the smile returning. ]

Thanks. I'll try to come by when I can.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ makes a fist with her hand, determined. ]

I'll have the smoothies and gummy worms ready!

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ holds up an index finger. ]

Don't forget the peanuts.

1/2

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ laughs lightly, nodding. ]

I'll do my best.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ looks up when she hears movement upstairs, leaning halfway on the counter to get a better look at michael coming down the stairs. beams happily. ]

Hello, big brother! Anthony is here.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ stops on the last step, looking on over to their said guest. a moment, and then he moves again and says: ]

Hm. Earlier than I thought. Good job.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ jumps at the mention of brother, whipping around to face his spartan captain. backs up until his back is to some firm surface for his own good. then proceeds to eye michel wearily. ]

I don't want to go shopping.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

We are going shopping. [ after that he turns his attention to his sister. ] Our parents will be out for the evening, Anne. Will you be fine by yourself?

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course! Please, go have fun.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ nods, tucking his cellphone into his pocket before grabbing anthony's sleeve to pull him towards the door. ]

We'll be going, then.
