Hikaru turned his head over his shoulder, looking up at Tyr, "Th-thank you. ...But just so you know, I'm a jinx, I've been through the worst of punishments, so I guess this is one of it. ^^"

Even with his cheeks wet, he was able to smile sweetly, like the tears are not there at all. After turning his attention back at his brother, the redhead advanced his steps towards him, less shakily now.

Glaring at the boy walking nearer to him, Zeph ignored Tyr's words and raised his head up high, as soon as Hikaru stops a few feet away. His fists clutching tight, their red eyes met with each other.

"Hikaru," the older one called, frightening little Hikaru, but the redhead didn't gaze away from his brother's eyes. In fact, Hikaru's actually glaring back! Seeing this new courage inside the light-wielder, Zeph's fists weaken...

Closing his eyes, Zephel turns away from Hikaru, his back against him.

"...Tyr, what do YOU think I should do with him?"

[Tyr]

Tyr ruffled Hikaru's hair and shrugged, "Nothing...everything happened too fast to blame anyone. Plus, he just got scared and didn't know what he was doing even though he almost killed me."

[Zephel]

Taking a deep long breath, Zeph closed his eyes and finally turns to Hikaru.

"...Fine. I'll forgive you THIS time," after he said that though, he knocked the redhead sligtly less harder than usual.

"Still, you owe me hell a lot of effort! -_-*"

A smile is lifted on Hikaru's frown, his eyes glimmering, like the knock Zeph gave him was painless...

"Oh...OH!! THANK YOU, NII-SAN!!! I'll get to that right now!!"

Then, the light-child leans on his brother and hugs him with such an enthusiastic energy, it brings smiles on everyone's faces... ...except Zeph's. After that, Hikaru rushes towards to the computer and turns it on excitedly.

Sighing, the older brother walked towards Tyr and stuffed his hands in his pockets, "...Brothers. What can we do. -_-;"

Staring at Hikaru, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, yeah. Say Tyr, can you sing?"[/b]

[Tyr]

Tyr held his hands up and shook his head with a sheepish grin on his face, "Not a chance, man. I don't sing."

"I can play musical instruments decently, but not sing."

[Zephel]

"Oh really? Then that makes Hikaru's accident less frustrating since I can add more music. What kind of musical instruments do you play?" Zeph asked, suddenly interested.

[Tyr]

"Well...I say I'm decent with stringed instruments, guitar, violin, banjo, you name it. I'm not too bad with percussion either." Tyr shrugged with a grin. "Don't tell me you're planning on making me play for your girlfriend's little favor."

[Zephel]

"Stringed instruments? Perfect. I needed somebody to play a guitar," Zeph nodded at Tyr, "Oh, and it's not a favor as much as a challenge, actually."

He then turned to Hikaru, who's busy waiting for the computer to open up the files Zeph had saved, "...Yep, definitely a challenge."

[Tyr]

Tyr smirked cockily, "Challenge to win the heart of the Angel of Music, eh? I understand Zeph. No need to rename your plight." He then snickered.

[Zephel]

Zeph paused to stare at Tyr for a second.

"If you're trying to piss me off, then it's not working. If you're trying to cofuse me, then it is. So, when I can I be amazed by your mad guitar skills?" sarcastically, the silver-haired said dryly, trying to get straight to the point.

"Err....nii-san! Why did you named your soundtracks by numbers? I can't tell which is which!" blinking wildly at the computer screen, Hikaru just randomly clicked on each and every link he sees before turning for help.

"Nii-san!!!"

[Tyr]

Tyr just snickered even louder, "I never said I had mad guitar skills. You're the one who made that up. Take the stick out your ass, Zeph." He then waved a dismissal.

"So what am I suppose to do?"

[Zephel]

Ignoring Hikaru's plead of help, Zeph just stared even more skeptically to Tyr, "You managed to confuse me yet again, Tyr. ...Still, all you have to do is play what you know with your guitar and I'll just happily record it."

"Happily?" Hikaru repeated, blinking at his brother, "Since when do you start to feel happy? --OHH!! Since you have your new girlfriend, eh? Eh?"[/color]

A dark cloud hovered on Zeph's head as he tries hard to fight the tempting urge to snap his brother's neck...

[Tyr]

"Just play whatever? I thought you were recording Mia's music...not my random stuff." Tyr wondered.

[Zephel]

"What is it with everybody that keeps pairing me up with someone?" he muttered after shooting daggers towards the two...

"I would like to record ANY music. To make A SONG. For a CHALLENGE I need to accomplish to see how FAR I can go without busting a NERVE," Zeph managed to say that with much emphasis on the specific words he chose...

[Tyr]

Tyr bursted out laughing, "Alright, alright, I get it! Hahahahah!" He continued laughing as he went into the studio and picked up the guitar that was there. He didn't stop laughing, thinking that Zeph was just too damn fun to tease. No wonder Xue Fang couldn't stop doing so.

[Zephel]

With Tyr laughing, Hikaru can't help but to laugh as well...which is a ticket for his head to get bonked yet again, "Ow!! Nii-san! Can't you just hit me somewhere that won't affect with my height?! It's embarassing to meet girls and literally gotta look up to face them!"

"Oh, like I care," Zeph rolled his eyes. His brother's personal life is the least of what he normally thinks of...

Now seeing Tyr bringing in a guitar, Zeph turns to Hikaru, at the exact time Hikaru glances at Zeph from the computer chair. With just a look in the eyes, Hikaru grabbed the recorder beside the computer and tossed it at the silver-haired, who caught it casually.

This is one of those rare moments the brothers harmonize with each other. With a single look, they swiftly helped each other, without having second thoughts on what they're doing actually...
