Hisame & Kiragi siblings

C-support
Kiragi: Heya, little bro!
Hisame: [blush, frown] Kiragi! You mustn’t keep calling me that here!
Kiragi: [smile, closed eyes] But it’s true, isn’t it? You’re my baby brother, I gotta act like it!
Hisame: [frown, sweat] It’s only true due to a magical fluke.
Hisame: Say that around anyone else and they’ll be confused at best.
Kiragi: Sounds like someone just wants an excuse to boss me around.
Hisame: Hardly. Trying to order you around is like herding cats.
Kiragi: …Noisy?
Hisame: And utterly pointless.
Kiragi: [smile] Just as long as we’re clear, little bro!
[Kiragi leaves]
Hisame: [frown] We’re cle- wait, no!
Hisame: Kiragi!

B-support
Hisame: How are you today, little brother?
Kiragi: [smile, closed eyes] Hmm? I don’t see any little brothers around here except you.
Hisame: [sweat, frown] Kiragi. You’re confusing people.
Kiragi: It’s no more confusing than our dads having sons their own age.
Hisame: Be that as it may, I’m here to offer a compromise.
Kiragi: Oh?
Hisame: [frown, sweat] Twins.
Kiragi: [smile, closed eyes] Nope!
Kiragi: You’re my darling baby brother, and you’re staying that way, forever.
Hisame: Kiragi, this is ridiculous. I look at least five years older than you.
Kiragi: And yet I was born first.
Kiragi: I still remember when Dad brought you home – you were so little and squishy.
Hisame: [frown] Kiragi-
Kiragi: And angry. That hasn’t changed!
Hisame: If you won’t think of propriety, think of your own self-benefit.
Hisame: Don’t you know the wisdom about the baby of the family?
Kiragi: [confused] No?
Hisame: [eyes closed, smile] They get babied.
Hisame: The firstborn, on the other, has exhaustive responsibilities.
Hisame: If you’re truly to be my older brother, you must excel over me in every way. Including your lessons.
Kiragi: [sweat] It’s worth it to boss you around…
Hisame: [smile] Worth learning advanced mathematics?
Kiragi: [frown, sweat] …I’ll get you, little bro.
Hisame: [smile] ‘Brother’ will do fine.

A-support
Hisame: Kiragi? I thought you wanted to show me that blind?
Kiragi: [injured] Oh… hey, Hisame. What’s up?
Hisame: [surprised] Brother? You look like a wreck. What happened?
Kiragi: I ended up pulling an all-nighter…
Kiragi: [frown] This stupid passage didn’t make sense no matter how many times I read it.
Hisame: You were up all night studying?
Kiragi: [eyes closed] *yawn* Yeah. I’m outta ink, though…
Hisame: What brought on this sudden-
Hisame: [sweat] This isn’t because of what I said about being firstborn, is it?
Kiragi: [smile, sweat] Kinda? I thought about it, and you’re right. Dad looks up to Uncle Ryoma, right? I want to set a good example for you.
Kiragi: …And given the whole age thing, I’ve got my work cut out for me.
Hisame: [surprised] Kiragi…
Hisame: That time when you got sick and you had to be taken out of our Deeprealm and treated in Shirasagi… how long was it for you?
Kiragi: A couple of weeks, at the most. But to you, it was…
Hisame: Years. Enough for me to catch up and overtake you.
Hisame: [eyes closed] …Truly, it began to feel as though you were dead. I doubted I’d ever see you again.
Hisame: Eventually, I found it hard to even recall your features.
Hisame: And then one day you returned, looking exactly as you had when you left.
Kiragi: [smile, sweat] I was pretty disappointed. You’d always followed me around, but then suddenly bam, you were bigger and older. And a total nerd.
Hisame: [eyes closed, injured] I’m sorry, Kiragi. I… never considered how that must’ve felt for you.
Kiragi: [smile] It’s okay. We still got to hang out a lot, after all. And you’re better at a lot of the big brother stuff than me.
Kiragi: [sad] But… I care about being YOUR big brother. Even if no-one else sees us that way.
Kiragi: When you first came home, I promised I’d protect you. And I wanna keep that promise.
Hisame: [smile] You’re already keeping it. You’ll always be my big brother, Kiragi, no matter what our appearances imply.
Kiragi: Good! Now kneel down here so I can give you a brotherly hair-ruffle!
Hisame: [sweat, smile] You’re mad with power.
