My cousin, who recently arrived, has a birthday today. Wishing him a happy birthday is encouraged.

He's 18 now after all. In many places that makes you an adult, Kazuya.

Yes, I know you can see me writing this.

It's less a softer side and more giving him attention he doesn't want.

[darkcharge]

I've, personally, never understood what the point of something like that is.

[crouching_sin]

Because his reactions are funny.

[darkcharge]

I suppose it is funny when I'm not the one being victimized.

[crouching_sin]

See? You get it.

It's an older sibling's duty to embarrass and annoy their younger sibling, anyway.

[darkcharge]

Didn't you say you were cousins? Cousins aren't siblings?

[crouching_sin]

His parents took me in when I was very young. So we were raised together like siblings.

[darkcharge]

I thought that it was the younger sibling that was supposed to annoy the elder. Not the other way around.

[crouching_sin]

Oh no, it absolutely goes both ways.

[darkcharge]

Do you two keep a tally or some kind of record for this? Who is beating who?

[crouching_sin]

No, but I'm winning.

[darkcharge]

How do you know if you're not keeping track?

[crouching_sin]

Because he keeps trying way too hard. He wouldn't be if he were winning.
