βSpooky funhouse tales game? That's a mouthful...β
Well, he didn't think it would scare him at all. The fear that came from the unknown, from monsters with a hundred teeth and a gaping maw, was ultimately a fear for one's safety.
βBut what do I get if I don't get scared?β

" hmm... maybe dragging you to the HRA Club's spooky funhouse tales game to see to a test of courage! "
as she puts a hand up to her lips.. she looked mischievously catty from how she giggles.
γ €
βGood luck with that.β
His thumb would press against his philtrum before swiping to the side, a cocky air to him for now.
βYour old Brother has nerves of steel.β
γ €
" oho?~ really now?~ "
smirks saya as she leans up to his hand that was brushing some of the hair out of her eyes as she giggles.
" i'll have to scare you real good to get the best reaction! " β¨οΈ
γ €
βScared? Me? Of course not.β
Turning to face her, brushing some of her blanket-worn hair out from her face, he would puff his chest out. There was only one thing that scared him, and it certainly wasn't monsters.
γ €
she giggles giddily as she soon lets him go, pulling the blanket down from her head to see more of her bicolored blond and brunette hair cascading through!
" hehe! did i scare you? " βΊοΈβ¨οΈ
γ €
βSo that's the real identity of the Blanket monster!β
He played up his surprise for her. There was only a handful of people who it could have been, after all.
βYou got me.β
Since she was behind him, he simply placed his hands over hers in reciprocation of the hug.

Hearing her much more serious question, he took a moment to think. He didn't stiffen his face, nor did he tense up. He'd of course thought about these things before. He couldn't see if she valued her life at all.
There may come a day when she does something to where heγΌ

hearing "family" getting uttered between the two of them, saya can't help but pop another piece of chocolate into her mouth.

has to take her freedom away from her, if not for but a moment, to keep her safe.
Was he strong enough to do that? Did he possess the will to do so?
Family was a strange thing. Even though they weren't bonud by blood, they held a bond that even blood couldn't competeγΌ
γ €
γ €
And so he would be there for her. No matter what may come.
βI know I can't stop you doing whatever it is you wanna do, but at least call me whenever you need me, kay?β
γ €
γ €
Even if time healed all wounds, some wounds were deeper than others. With her like this now, he couldn't ask for any more than that. For her to have a small slice of happiness.
βWe're family, of course we got each other's backs.βγΌ

gaze trails off as she looks towards the pieces of chocolates that line along within box.
to lean her shoulder on her loved ones...
why would she stain them all with these bloodstained hands? she would rather--
γ €
He certainly deserved that boop, a laugh coming from him in return.
He was one of the few people who knew the extent to which she went through after all. It caused rage to boil within him whenever he remembered it, so he could only imagine what she felt.γΌ
γ €
γ €
Family. It was certainly a beautiful thing. It was the thing that he would do anything to protect, no matter the cost.
βWell don't expect me to buy you anymore!β
He would share in her laugh, for now, he would enjoy this moment of peace that family allowed him to enjoy.γΌ
γ €
to see saya acting more... vulnerable, more comfortable to be around was a version that no one outside their home's doors will get to see.
" it's really yummy! the caramel filling is swoon worthy~ "
a light teasing his way as she reaches up and pokes his cheek while giggling.
γ €
βYou know I don't mean your acting gig. You could do that in your sleep.β
He would raise a hand up, poking her on the tip of her nose.
βDon't forget to rely on your Bro over here. Whether it's the troupe, the store, or the troubles you want to face alone, don't forgetγΌ
