Subject: Birthday Boy

Two months ago, my cousin Naoya decided to announce to the world at large that it was my birthday. Today I get to return the favour.

Please send him your best birthday regards. He's older than dirt and will need them before inevitably expires due to being a literal fossil.

I know you saw this coming, Naoya.

That's not fair, you're seven years older than me. No girl in their right mind is going to give a 10 and 11 year old Valentine's Day chocolate other than platonically. Besides, I was practically swimming in it once I hit high school.

I meant in high school. I was as well, if you recall?

[Mysterious and broody can get you a long way in high school.]

Obviously. I meant it was normal for you to get more than me when you were in highschool and I hadn't even hit middle yet.

Yes but comparatively when we were each in high school, I got more.

Now you're just being difficult on purpose.

No way you did. I got so much more chocolate than you.

[ He was way more personable! Girls loved him!!! ]

Unless you're including the chocolate girls got you outside of Valentine's Day because everyone knows about you and your sweet tooth.

You're impossible.

[He reaches out to noogie Kazuya, though not all that hard.]

It just meant that people actually liked me rather than pretended to for appearance's sake.

Hey!

[ Kazuya swats at him, though it's with hardly any force. ]

Or they just thought you were hot and wanted in your pants and didn't care at all that you're actually incredibly lame and rude!

... I mean. Also very possible.

[And how many did? He's not telling. And Kazuya probably doesn't want to know.]

You're just jealous.

[It's true. He doesn't need to know about Naoya sowing wild oats.]

I have nothing to be jealous of when it comes to you.

Mhm. Of course you don't. I'm only handsome and smart and popular and you absolutely followed me around everywhere growing up?

[ Ghk-- ]

I'm also handsome and smart!

Are you sure?

[The answer is yes, but still.]

If course I am!

[ WHY ARE YOU SO RUDE! ]

Mhm~.

[It's his birthday please understand he is just a little guy.]

[ YOU ARE TALLER THAN HIM

Kazuya lunges at him to try and absolutely mess up his hair again.

It might be Naoya'sbirthday, but they're still siblings.]

C'mere, you...!

[He laughs and doesn't even try to move out of the way, just accepting the mussing.]

[Ah, the warm feeling of family and togetherness... it's always fleeting, and yet he's always chasing that feeling.]

It seems I hit a nerve~

[Yeah, yeah, laugh it up jerk. We'll see how funny it is when Kazuya licks his hand, gets demon slobber all over it, and proceeds to muse it more.

Honestly though, he's shocked Naoya even lets him get as far as messing up his hair, because pretty much every other time he's lunged for him, he's just moved out of the way. It's. Weird. Pleasant weird, and it feels like it did back when they were way younger and he constantly followed him around.

Since he's come here, it feels like the first time Naoya isn't really afraid of Kazuya lunging at him in mock anger. Isn't afraid that he could or rather, would hurt him. Naoya isn't the only one with the warm family feeling bubbling in his chest, and maybe it's odd considering what Naoya just said, but... Kazuya laughs. Laughs, and keeps fussing with Naoya's hair like it's just the funniest plaything in the world.

(It is. A shower is in his future if he wants to get rid of the slobber Kazuya'd soaked him with.)]

Gross.

[He reaches out and tickles the other's sides. It's nice to be here, just... away from everything. Of course he's aware of Kazuya's strength and power. He's never forgotten it.]

[But Kazuya is still Kazuya. There's still hope for him. Hope that he'd see nurtured before he's gone.]

[And Kazuya lets him, playfully shoving the hands that Naoya uses to tickle him with no real strength behind it.

Is there still a disgusting amount of spit on his hands as he shoves? Absolutely. But Naoya is as unflappable as always, and Kazuya doesn't think he actually cares anyway.]

Nothing you don't deserve for being an asshole!

Nothing I haven't dealt with before.

[You know what, sure. He goes in to try to tackle Kazuya back into the couch.]

[Yeah, he's tackled back onto the couch, and he's laughing the entire way, and once his back hits the soft fabric, he shoves Naoya playfully, only barely trying to actually get him away.]

Someone's feeling bold for their millionth birthday.

[Nope. He leans against Kazuya with all of his weight.]

You're a brat, that's why.

If I'm a brat, I'd hate to know what that makes you. Other than a grouchy old man, of course.

[Could Kazuya easily get away? Absolutely. It wouldn't take much effort, if any at all. But right now he's living, because Naoya is seemingly enjoying himself, and not afraid of him, and it's almost like home. Home before everything happened.

Kazuya stuffs his hand into Naoya's face and pushes, gently.]

Maybe I am.

[He moves his face away but jabs a bony elbow lightly against Kazuya's ribs.]

But you can't stay away from this 'grumpy old man', heh.

[Which is partially his fault and was partially his intent - to make Kazuya reliant on him, to follow where he led... apparently that only went so far. But he does his best to pull his thoughts away from that and instead licks the hand that's on his face.]

Oof.

[ Obviously it doesn't hurt, but he still grunts as hes elbowed... and then makes a horrific noise as his hand is licked, making him jerk away hard. ]

Ugh! You're so gross! I can't believe you actually licked me!

[ Like Kazuya didn't get his own slobber all over Naoya only moments earlier...

He's going to try and wipe it off on Naoya's clothes. ]
