[ 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. ]

[ blinks, genuinely surprised. ]

It's. . . that bad?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

At times, yes.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ shifts his weight slightly. ]

I'm too old to be grounded.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ picks up one of the gundam boxes again, taking a look at it. ]

"Scolded" is a more appropriate word in this case.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ shoulders droop a bit. ]

I'll practice a bit more.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ nods, still distracted by the box for a while longer. looks back over at anthony. ]

Which of these would be suited for a beginner?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ glances up at him sharply, surprised. ]

You want one?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

No. [ puts the gundam back before picking up another. ] It is for Anne.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ stares at him, feeling a bit disappointed, but scans the wall dutifully before picking out a box. ]

This one. It has big pieces.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ nods, putting the one he had in hand back before placing his hands into his pockets again. ]

That one, then.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ hands it over. ]

She might like Pokemon better.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ blinks at the gesture, completely overlooking his comment to focus on their current predicament instead. ]

It is for you to buy, not I.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Sure, as long as you say it's from you.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Her birthday is on the fifteenth of June. I think she would enjoy it greatly if you visited on that day and did an activity with her, specifically one you sincerely enjoy.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

. . . This won't be her birthday present. I refuse.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

She has two X chromosomes. You get two X chromosomes tailored birthday presents.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

You make it sound as if this is a gender-specific hobby.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ holds up an index finger. ]

No. It's survival.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ doesn't think much on that, gesturing a little. ]

Then you may buy her two presents, if you so wish.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ glances down at the box, then back up. nods. ]

I'll do that on my own time.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ nods, satisfied. ]

Very well, then.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ also nods, as if they just made a deal. ]

'Kay. Now let's go get bubbletea.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ glances at the plush section in thought, thus he only catches "bubbletea", though that alone prompts the following: ]

Pardon?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ patiently repeats, though emphasizes his pronounciation just to be a little shit difficult: ]

Bubbletea.
