"No Tooru, you can't have ice cream, it's almost your bedtime!"

He brought his arms to his side as he whined,
"But nii-chan! Someone at school said their parents let them eat ice cream before bed!"

You held the freezer door shut,
"Well every family is different Tooru. If you eat ice cream, then you won't be able to sleep!"

He looked around nervously as he began to lie to your face,
"That's not true! My teacher said that... um... he said that ice cream actually helps you sleep better!"

You brought you face close to his, staring into his eyes.

"Reeeaaallllyyy?"

He couldn't help but giggle, clueing you in on his lie, which wasn't really all that necessary.

"Tooru, no ice cream. That's final,"

He stormed off while pouting,
"No fair!"

As soon as he got to your shared room, you let out a sigh, opening the fridge to look at the ice cream he so dearly wanted to eat.

'PISTACHIO???'

You closed the freezer door in (maybe) disgust, going to your room where Tooru had already put on his pajamas.

He pouted at you before getting into his bed, and you knelt down next to it.

"You know I'm doing this for your own good, right?"

His cross face relaxed as he extended his arms out to you,
"I know, nii-chan..."

You gave him a hug before going over to your bed, laying down before tucking in for the night.

In the middle of the night, you could hear your younger brother trying to sneak out of bed. You initially brushed it off as him just going to use the bathroom, but when you heard him take a few too many steps, you decided to keep your ears open for any other suspicious sounds.

A loud crash could be heard, along with the loud crying of a young boy.

You rushed downstairs, finding the boy and picking him up.

You looked at the crime scene. Shards of a ceramic bowl sprawled across the floor, a tub of ice cream on the countertop.

"Tooru! Are you okay?! I told you you couldn't have ice cream at night!"

He sobbed into your shirt,
"NII-CHAN IM SORRY! DONT BE MAD AT ME PLEASE!"

There was no way you could stay peeved at him for long, quickly switching to your soothing voice, trying to get him to calm down.

"Tell me what happened Tooru,"

In between sniffles he explained.

"I wanted to eat ice cream and *hic* I got the bowl and it fell!"

You sighed, taking another look at the mess on the floor. You calmed down your brother to the point to where he wasn't crying anymore, and gently set him down on the ground.

You could see him wincing, and on closer inspection, you could see a small cut on one of his legs, presumably from the bowl shards.

You once again picked him up, bringing him to the bathroom where you sat him down on the toilet (the lid is on).

While you cleaned and bandaged his wound, he started to ask what he thought was the most important question.

"Is mom gonna be mad at me? What if she doesn't let me see Iwa-chan anymore! I don't want her to yell at me!"
