[Tyr]

"From the tone of your voice, you just conflicted yourself there, Zephie-kun." Tyr grinned, using Xue Fang's way of calling Zeph back then.

"You sound like a kid just going through puberty, get yourself together, man."

[Zephel]

With a sigh that expresses his annoyance, his straight face showed how much he wanted to hit Hikaru right now...

"As you can see, I'm trying to, thank-you-very-much."

Staring down at his coffee, Zeph slowly started, "What about you? She never annoys you, does she?"[/b]

[Tyr]

"Xue Fang...? Nah...not as much as she does you. But she did ask me if sex hurt right smack in the middle of a crowded skate rink." Tyr chuckled and sweatdropped, remembering how embarrassed he was at the time.

[Zephel]

"What?" he asked unbelievably, unexpectedly chuckling at the thought, "She's such an innocent snow demon, you can't blame her, Tyr."

[Tyr]

"I know that!" Tyr exclaimed, "But she didn't need to ask such a question in the ice rink. Made me look like I have a lolita complex, even though she's not exactly that much younger than me."

[Zephel]

"Lolita complex?" Zeph gave out a rare laugh, making Hikaru twitched a bit...

"It's good to know she's still kind after all the troubles she's been through back at her village though," his laugh faded into a smile, and finally a frown, "...I'm both embarassed and proud to admit that I finally read about Fang's background hours after I met Mia."

"...I guess I really miss her."

[Tyr]

Tyr nodded, "She never really talked about her past, even to me..."

"I wonder where she is now." He took another sip of his coffee, "I'm sure she's doing great though. It's hard not to like Xue Fang. As for Mia...I hope she doesn't faint due to her constant blushing."

[Zephel]

"Indeed," Zeph agrees on both of Tyr's statements, sipping his own coffee...

And while the two are enjoying each other's company...

"WAA!!! IT WANTS ME!! The darkness is PULLING ME, MAN!!!"

Waking up with a start from his nightmare, Hikaru grabbed hold of Tyr tightly, And before anybody notices it, he's already wrapped around Tyr...like a caccoon. His arms around Tyr's head, hugging him so tightly the man can't even breath...

" The darkness, the DARKNESS!!!"

With a much-needed sigh, Zeph finishes the last drop of his coffee, "You want help with that, Tyr?"

[Tyr]

Tyr dropped his mug, startled at Hikaru.

"Mmmmmmpfht! mhphfd!" His hands tried to pry Hikaru off.

[Zephel]

".....I'm taking that as a yes," Zeph slowly stood up from the couch, still with his mug in his hand. Taking a few steps back to the couch, he just blankly stares at the light child choking Tyr like mad...

Placing his left foot in front, Zeph takes his aim and strongly throws the coffee mug that hit straight on Hikaru's red hair, instantly making him jerked to the front, hitting his head to the wall...

Dusting his hands, Zeph sighed, almost like it's a normal boring routine for him, "There."

Hikaru falls off Tyr and slams his spine at the floor, before screaming loudly, rubbing his head. With his read hair, it's hard to tell if he's bleeding or not...

"NII-SAN!! THAT HURTS!!!" he stood up, tripped, and rolled his way over to the computer, instantly smashing his foot towards the switch, making the computer shut down.... still with Zeph's hours and hours of work unsaved there...

"....HIKARU!!!!!"

[Tyr]

Tyr hacked and coughed after being released from Hikaru's grasped, "Ack! I thought...I was...gonna...die!" It was all he could say as he remained bent forward and gasping for air.

[Zephel]

Realzing what he's done, Hikaru's eyes grows wide as he backs away from his raging brother. The child quickly ran towards Tyr, pulling him out of the chair, then hides behind him, "He's going to KILL ME!!"[/color]

"Hikaru, I'm not only going to KILL YOU, I'm going to FEED YOUR CHOPPED PIECES TO ORPHION!!"

[Tyr]

From being almost killed to protector, Tyr was left confused for a moment. Finally able to snap out of it, Tyr held his hands out to try and calm Zephel, "I'm sure you were able to save it at one point. No need to kill your brother for a girl now, Zeph."

[Zephel]

"The problem IS I saved it at the point BEFORE I put the immense effort in!!!"

Anger surging, Zeph forms a fist, veins throbbing, "HIKARU!!! COME OUT AND FACE YOUR PUNISHMENT LIKE A MAN!!!"

His clutch on Tyr seems to be tighter, though after a moment...he shakily walks out from behind the Weyrleader, tears present on his cheeks...

"I...I really AM sorry, nii-san!! I didn't--"

[Tyr]

Tyr rested an encouraging hand on Hikaru's shoulder and spoke to Zephel, "It was an accident, Zeph."
