[That makes Rin grin even wider as he holds out the package to Yukio]

Happy Birthday, little bro!

[He takes the package, frowning a bit.]

With everything that happened, I didn't even realize...

[Little bro feels like kind of a dick.]

[no no no shhh little bro]

It's okay! I almost forgot, too. I just hope this fits you.

[Whenever he opens it, he'll find that there's a relatively nice looking, heavy winter jacket. It should be the right size for Yukio, considering Rin tried it on and it was fairly big on him.]

Re: action;

[doctor_dragoon]

[Aw, but it's not okay...]

I'm sorry, Niisan, I don't have anything for you.

[Shut up and open your present, Yukio.]

It's fine, it's fine! Open it!

Re: action;

[Still not looking entirely convinces, but he does open his present. There's a look of pleasant surprise on his face when he pulls the jacket out. It really is rather nice.]

Where did you find this?

[keepsthefire]

[Rin really isn't bothered that he didn't get anything. That's just how he is.]

Jesse, TJ and Saya's shop. I traded some of my stuff that I didn't really need.

[He says "some of my stuff" but really it was his Christmas present. He just doesn't want Yukio to figure that out.]

Put it on! I wanna see if it fits!

[It's that sort of attitude that makes Yuki realize how shitty a person he can be sometimes. Sorry, Rin, that's just how your brother is.

Yukio stands and removes the shabby coat he's currently wearing so he can shrug on the new jacket. He looks down at himself for a few moments, checking the rather remarkable fit before looking up at Rin with a-... is that a smile?]

Thank you, Niisan.

[Well Rin certainly isn't calling him out on it.

He watches excitedly, tail wagging slowly behind him. Seeing the smile makes it double in speed, though, and he practically looks like a puppy that's just been praised for the first time in forever. That action betrays just how happy he is in comparison to his words.]

Heh, don't think anythin' of it. You needed a new one, right? I'm just glad I got a good one!

Re: action;

[doctor_dragoon]

[Rin probably should call him out on it more often, but his reluctance is understandable.]

It's perfect. This should get me through the rest of the winter.

action;

[keepsthefire]

[Probably. But this is kind of working right now? So he's not going to rock the boat just yet.]

Good. I don't want a frozen brother.

Re: action;

[doctor_dragoon]

[Good plan. Something's bound to show up to break the peace eventually without either of them doing it on purpose.]

That's pretty unlikely with you around, you know.

[Rin will enjoy what he can while it lasts]

Hey I can't be around you 24/7/. You wouldn't want me to be anyway.
