"Ne, aniki, Is Rin-nee here yet?"

"Not yet,"

"Okay... What about now?"

"No,"

"... Now?"

"You've been asking me for the last ten minutes. You're so impatient, imouto-chaaan~" Obito gushed with a patronizing grin, squatting down from the front window to squeeze your chubby cheeks, riling you.

"Etae! Etae! Aneke, let gew!" Yelping, you swatted his hands away, before rubbing your cheeks soothingly, whilst half-heartedly glaring at the older child. "I can't help it; it's her first time to be late. Also, you promised you'd stop doing that last year!"

"Hehe, exactly! That promise was only for last year," He teased, booping your nose before you swiped at his hand again.

"What?! You can't do that!" You exclaimed, pouting.

"Well, I'm taller, stronger--"

"But not smarter," You muttered to yourself, but he heard anyway.

"I'm an academy student, I am smarter," He gave a confident grin, while pointing a thumb to himself (his denial is unreal). "And older, so I can do whatever I want, my sweet lil (Y/n)-chan!" Your brother chaffed, before attempting to pinch your cheeks again.

"You're only seven! That's not how it works!" Shielding your face, you inched away from his slow progressing reach.

"You can't know how it works because it's not you who's older," He beamed, as he continued reaching out for your face.

"I'm telling Rin-nee you have a crush on her!" And like that, he reeled his hands away from you as if your words burned him. "Hah, that's right! Wouldn't want her to know, would you now?" It was your turn to slyly grin, as you knew he can't deny your claims, as you've witnessed his idiocy in the act of love, first hand (how Rin-nee missed it was beyond you).

"Mou, my imouto is such a petty snitch," The noir dramatically lamented, hunching over, as his peppy aura transitioned into a depressing one, the proverbial gloomy mushrooms appearing. "It's not my fault that your baby fat is irresistible,"

"Rin-nee should tame you everyday because you only listen to her, and then you'd behave,"

"You make it sound like I'm more of a pet than a brother,"

"If you continue being exasperating, then maybe I'll consider it," You huffed, as his gloomy mood immediately disappeared and was then replaced with amusement. Smirking, he teased.

"Wah~ Exasperating-- That's a pretty big word, (Y/n)-chan! You sure know what it means?"

"Irritating," You flatly stated.

"Very good!" He patronizingly praised.

"Unappealing,"

"Doesn't quite mean that,"

"No, these are the other things you are," You corrected, rather too seriously to Obito's opinion; you looked so convinced!

"Oi!" Your brother squawked out indignantly. "You're too young to be this sassy,"

"Anyone would age faster if they hang out with you, aniki," You snickered, as it was his turn to pout. Before he could think of a comeback, you looked at the front window and exclaimed excitedly. "Rin-nee's here-- oi!" And like that, your brother's mood turned a 180 and zoomed to the front door with genin speed, wanting to greet the brunette first.
