A SMALL TALK. ▶

─────────

     FINALLY FINISHED HAVING LUNCH, both of their bowls were empty, and their juices left unfinished— it was time for them to leave. they stood up from their seat, not before mumbling a short "thank you for the meal" and finally went to the counter to thank the person for working hard. you can say, it's their habit to thank people— sibling things.

     "are you going somewhere today?" Riku speaks up, starting a conversation with her brother while they take a step on the sidewalk, her dark colored hair flowing through by the wind as her eyes looks over to her brother— waiting for an answer to her question. the road was still as rowdy as ever, which made her uncomfortable, she decides to speak to distract herself over things.

     "yeah, i'm meeting someone today— i've been told by a friend of mine." Draken casually says, giving his sister a reassuring smile although he kinda felt bad for lying to her.

     "don't worry, it won't be dangerous." he's not sure, though. he's been told by his delinquent seniors to meet this "Mikey" guy and bring him to them. he hopes he won't get beaten up much to the point where his wounds would end up visible, he'll worry his sister and he doesn't want that.

     Riku wasn't really that convinced. she knows her brother so well that she can eventually know wether he's lying or not. it somehow scares her to know that he's friends with delinquents that are twice his age— as much as she wants to understand him with his decisions, it somehow just worries her.

     she knows Draken gets beaten up sometimes and yet he can still manage to smile infront of her, it somehow frustrates her knowing that he's doing this to protect her. she can fight, physically but not mentally and it's a big problem to her. how can she protect her brother when she can't even face a person without shaking or panicking?

     she hates it so much, and thinking about it gives her a hard time. but she doesn't show it— she thinks her problems doesn't matter to anyone, it might just seem like she's overreacting over things. it's kinda hard to keep it to herself, she doesn't know who to open up to. not to Draken, definitely not him. she doesn't want him to worry at all.

     "that's nice, nii-san. tell me how it went once you come back?" she mumbles loudly, enough for her brother to hear her words. Draken lets out a lighthearted chuckle as he pats her head. 

     "of course! you don't even have to remind me. i always tell you how my day went— so does you!" he boastfully says while flashing her a closed-eyed smile. unconsciously, Riku manages to smile at her brother's behaviour. God what would've happened to her if he wasn't her sibling? she was glad, too glad.

     "i still need to learn more about this friend of yours! he smells fishy." he mumbles, squinting his eyes to Riku as if this friend of hers was suspicious. of course, he does it in a joking manner but he really is suspicious about this person— it's not that he doesn't trust her sister or anything, he's just worried about her.

     Riku lets out a chuckle because of her brother's behaviour. "right, right. i'll make sure to tell you more about him." she says in a calm way, but she's definitely panicking in the inside— what will she say about him? she doesn't know a single thing about this friend of hers!

     silence has finally occurred as the both of them were finally walking near the park— which has calmed Riku down, it wasn't that noisy, rowdy, and crowdy anymore. she feels more relaxed now. it was comforting, today wasn't as hot as it usually should be, and it was quite windy. an oasis of serenity amidst the day.

      "nii-san, what if we have matching dragon tattoos? i'll put mine on my collarbone." Riku suddenly speaks out what was on her mind. ever since her brother has gotten his dragon tattoo, it has always distracted her— sometimes when they talk, she'd forget about her brother and would just start staring at his dragon tattoo, forgetting wether their topic is important or not.

     after hearing such statement from her sister— Draken accidentally chokes on his saliva, coughing out violently while Riku panics, patting his back, not really knowing what to do. she thought he was dying so she debated wether to call an ambulance or just wait for him to stop.

     after minutes of coughing, Draken has finally recovered, and now he's just staring at Riku with his eyes wide open. "a-are you sure?! getting a tattoo hurts, you know!" now he's the one panicking. he knows she hates getting hurt— or seeing blood, she's definitely scared of it which caught him off guard.

     he almost pissed his pants while getting his tattoo, Riku might just faint before it could even happen!

     "b-but it's your decision, Riku. i'll support you either way!" he exclaims which he recieves a humm from Riku. she was definitely thinking about it, but the pain— either way, she'll decide sooner enough, just not now. she has to think about it whether she wants to conquer the fear of blood and pain, or just be a coward and embarrass herself forever.

     "i'll think about it. are you not leaving yet?" she asks, glancing towards her brother in curiousity. they've been walking for an hour now, they're close to the park where Riku met her friend. she wanted to stay there for awhile, and wait for her brother to come back. she still have spare money with her to buy what she needs anyway— she's really good at saving.

     "oh— OH it's time. oh no i think i'll miss it, i gotta go little sis! i'll see you at home, don't stay out too late okay?!" he says as he kisses Riku's head while he runs as fast as he could repeating the word "i'm late" again and again. as expected, the both of them got lost at the track of time. it was already 3 in the afternoon. Riku has decided to go chill at the park for awhile. taking a seat on something like a monkey's cage which is beside the slide.

     she lets out a heaved sigh knowing she's finally having her alone time— not until she hears a shout from a kid.

     "hey! that's my and my friend's territory right there!"
