"KYAA! BROTHER WHY'S THERE A DEMO-"

"Senjiro shush!" Kyojuro covered his brother's mouth for a second time. Even after Rengoku made his brother promise not to freak out, Senjuro still screamed.

To be honest lit was probably the appropriate reaction from him. It's not like Senjuro was going to welcome the demon with open arms.

Kyojuro deadpanned as he held his panicking brother at bay, Akaza who was grinning with all his sharp teeth on show probably wasn't the best idea coming from the demon...

"Akaza do something!" The pillar whisper yelled, motioning Akaza to show he meant no harm.

Getting the memo, the upper moon cursed himself under his breath and waddled up to the two brothers "you two look exactly alike. Are you twins?"

Rengoku gave his demon companion a look which said 'that's not fucking helping' while still muffling Senjuro's screams with his hand.

Akaza rolled his eyes again and tried something else, moving closer to the smaller boy till their foreheads were almost touching - with that he said; "I'll eat you if you don't stop yelling" he teased.

An even louder muffled shriek was heard before Senjuro went completely limp in his brother's arms.

Looking at the unconscious boy, Kyojuro sharply snapped his head at the other "you dumbass! So much for a good first impression!"

Akaza shrugged his shoulders, sitting in the corner of the room in a huff "whoops"

The pillar slid a hand down his face in exasperation "when he wakes up wait for me to calm him down, THEN you can talk to him ok?" Rengoku sighed with a sharp glare, gently placing his brother on his mat.

Akaza pouted and looked at the wall "yea yeah whatever"

Rengoku looked at him dumbfounded "someone's in a mood" he taunted, looking over Senjuro's unconscious frame afterwards - his cheeks paper pale.

"I'm not in a mood" came a quick response.

"You're acting like a teenage girl" Kyojuro scoffed, enjoying teasing Akaza for once instead of it being the other way around.

"Tsk. I'll stop being in a mood once you talk to me about last night."

Well done Akaza that ruined the mood.

Kyojuro stiffened, he was trying to avoid it as best he could. "It was nothing. I was just feeling overwhelmed" he lied blatantly, more of an excuse than anything. Akaza narrowed his eyes while looking at the two "I don't try to kill myself every time I feel overwhelmed" very blunt indeed.

Rengoku felt a lump form in his throat, he wanted to speak up but couldn't. So he just stayed quiet and silently checked Senjuro's pulse.

Another sigh was heard from the demon - awkward silence filling in the room before small mumbles of discomfort was heard briefly from the small boy.

Not so long later Senjuro's eyes gently fluttered open in confusion "hm? Brother is that you? I had the weirdest dream" he slowly sat up, Kyojuro supporting his back as he did so.

"Aha... now Senjuro just hear me out on this ok? Don't freak out" the older looked his drowsy brother in the eyes, showing he was serious.

With a gentle yawn, Senjuro rubbed his eyes and straightened his posture to listen "that wasn't a dream..." Senjuro's face went pale again as he tried to stutter out a response "b-.. but how did-"
