Sugarpie Honeybunch ▪ Mori (Editing)

Marianna meeting yasuchika

The boys gathered their things, Marianna bidding farewell to her butler with her bookbag in hand. Honey climbed onto Mori's shoulders, letting Mori link his fingers with Marianna as they walked to the Morinozuka/Haninozuka households.

The family estates were fairly large and surrounded by greenery. It was a 30 minute walk from Marianna's modest home and a 15 minute bus ride here. Marianna sent the boys up to get dressed, leaving Honey with a kiss on his head and Mori leaving Mari with a kiss of his own. Honey hasn't said anything about the two's closeness, yet.

Honey came down first, catching Marianna speaking with his little brother. He sighed mentally before Yasuchika lightly pushed Marianna away and sent her stumbling into a small table. He got into his stance and charged, throwing ring daggers at his brother, hoping to pin him to the ground.
He missed, just barely.

Takashi walked down the stairs, dodging a blade that missed his head by centimeters. He calmly walked towards Marianna, keeping a close eye on the boys and their weapons of choice. Marianna sighed heavily and crossed her arms, " I guess the first to draw blood or pin the other loses."

"Ah."

Her black pump tapped against the ground impatiently. She hated being late for things. "We'll be late for school at this rate."

"No, we won't."

Honey won. His spear had pierced Yasuchika's uniform to the stairs post.
"That was fun." He said, his honey hair shining, "You've improved a lot Chika-chan."

The younger boy flinched, as tensed dramatically, he mumbled incoherently as he attempted to remove the sharp end from his uniform without tearing it. The three third years moved out the front door, only Marianna hesitating.  She waited until the boys were out the front door to move back towards Yasuchika, her nimble fingers grasping onto the weapon and yanking it out with No effort at all. "You fight well." She complimented. She handed him the spear and smiled.
The front door freaked open and the two turned, Mori standing there, stoic as ever. "Mari, we'll be late."

The small girl nodded and pat the young boy on his shoulder before lightly jogging to Mori in her heels. She jumped and latched her arms around the boy's shoulders, him helping her and lifting her the rest of the way. His strong arms held her close, locked around her knees to keep her skirt from riding up. Marianna smiled and kissed his cheek, dangerously close to his lips, Mori smiling in the slightest. He moved to the foyer, not minding that his little cousin was watching his weakness almost literally bring him to his knees with how cute she was being.

"Hurry, Takashi! Mari-chan! We're late!"
