Senjuro's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waking up in the morning is hard... Especially on cold days like this. The kind of day when I'd rather stay here, curled up in bed where its warm... Though there's no way my brother will let me skip out on training today, no matter how much I complain.

With a quiet sigh, I sat up from my futon only to be greeted by the sun... Right In my eyes, are you serious? One of the worst ways to wake up if i'm honest. Though I guess its not so bad, I'm sure spending hours staring into a flame is worse than just a tiny bit of sunlight in my eyes.

As I pulled myself out of bed to get ready for the day I realized just how quiet it was this morning, was everyone still sleeping? Best be quiet then, so I don't wake anyone up... Maybe brother was just really tired from his mission. I know! I'll make Miso soup for breakfast! I'm sure brother would like that a lot...

After quickly getting myself situated to start the day I made my way to the kitchen to start making breakfast. "Right so I need to start the broth... then I can move on to cutting the... hmm..." I stopped just as I noticed the sweet potatoes I had gone and bought the other day, Maybe I should add those in aswell? Brother does like them after all...

Brother seemed so tired yesterday, even though he was acting like his usual self... Maybe I'm over thinking... I'm sure he's okay, Right? He would tell me if he wasn't feeling well wouldn't he?

I guess I got lost in thought after that, because the next thing I knew I was already putting the soup into the bowls for them to be served... I wonder If my brother is awake yet? Is he sleeping in or am I just up early? I guess I'll find out later.

"Morning Senjuro" Out of the blue, there was Kyojuro standing right at the door to the kitchen, How long was he standing there? I didn't even notice him walk in! Wow... brother really is amazing huh?

"G-good morning brother! Um... I made breakfast for you!" It's good to see he's awake now, I was getting worried that something was wrong... Maybe I'm worrying too much, Kyojuro is a Hashira after all! I should never doubt him.

"I can see that, It smells tasty! Though, anything that you make is sure to be lovely Senjuro" Kyojuro gave me a warm smile as he lent against the door with his arms crossed. The usual calm and gentle aura I'd get from him was as bright as ever, I feel much more at at ease now that he's here with me.

"Aha... I'm not a master cook or anything Brother, Though it makes me really happy that you enjoy what I make for you!" I gave my big brother a bright smile just to let him know I really was happy.

"Nonsense! You're the best cook around Senjuro! No one can compare to my little brother!" Before I could respond and tell him otherwise, Kyojuro made his way over to me just to give me a massive bear hug.

"Ahaha! Brother stop it! I'm still cooking you know! I might spill something!!" Even though that was true, I sort of wanted him to hold me a little longer... It's rare for brother to be home with me like this, it's suddenly like everything is a lot less lonely... I really missed having him around...

"Just a bit longer Senjuro... I missed you, don't you know that?" Seems like he had the same idea as I did, It's really hard not to miss him when he's not around often. I'm going to be sure to spend as much time with him as possible while he's still here.
