Fifteenth Flame : video; { brother from another mother... ?

[Rin is in the Golden Victory kitchen, though for once his apron is off. His hair is slightly damp, and he's dressed in something a little odd (the one in the center) compared to his usual work uniform. No, there's no costumes this month, but he has a legitimate reason for being in something that looks more like proper host attire.

He also doesn't look too happy, either.]

So I got to start my day off with a damn blender explodin' all over me. But y'know... that ain't what's got me so irritated.

I'm hearin' some odd grumblin' around the club today. What's this crap 'bout "another Okumura"? And why the hell is everyone tellin' this guy shit about me?!

[He'll just wait (im)patiently for your answers, Vatheon.]

[She sighs and shakes her head, pinching the bridge of her nose as she does.]

How similar is he to you? Is he from your world?

I don't know-- I mean he's from Japan yeah but... his order is called Blue Cross. It's freakin' weird...

And a lotta people are sayin' he looks like an older version of me.

Guess I'll have to meet him.

Maybe it's some militia faction of True Cross. We have some of those for the Academy back in my world, for when more cooperation with the government is needed.

[Not that they really need to convince people much to follow their orders since it's coming from the god of the world himself.]

... guess so. He's not that bad. Kinda weird. He did offer to help with my training.

Maybe. I thought I woulda heard somethin' about it by now though.

[Especially with the shit that Satan pulled.]

Hmm.

[That's nice. She knows that's nice and it will probably be good for Rin, but only hearing about a person doesn't exactly inspire confidence in her these days.]

Rin, I'm pretty sure even if someone did tell you about it you would have had the point fly over your head all the way back into Gehenna.

Wha-- ... h-hey! What'd I do to deserve you sayin' somethin' so mean to me?!

[............You were yourself, honey.]

Sorry.

[Only it's still true.

Only once she's decided she's wary of a concept, she is going to be wary of it for a while. Rin's choice in company and people coming in from home worlds is one of them.]

... okay I know I ain't the brightest guy out there, but don'tcha think an entire school gettin' over run by Satan woulda gotten more attention than just the Japanese branch? If he's really some special ops I think they'd have shown up durin' that whole mess.

[SEE HE DOES PAY ATTENTION but Maka does have a point. If not for that incident Rin probably would have missed a mention otherwise.]

Not really. The point of a special ops is for missions outside of the general reach of an organization. You're right that they would need more support from outside organizations, but not from a special operatives group.

Eh--!

... ahh...

...

damnit.

At any rate, if he's offering to train you, maybe it will get Yukio off your back a little.

[But that's another thing she doubts. More so than the legitimacy of this Night person.]

We can hope...

[Actually Rin doubts that too, but that comes from fifteen years of knowing his brother.]

And I guess I won't be seeing much of you what with work and the training now.

[So she should probably get up off her dead ass and make herself useful, yeah.]

Hey, I'll still make time for us...

Oh honestly, I wasn't saying that you need to make time for us. I'm not going to force any shirking of duties just for me. I mean you've already skipped work a hell of a lot because of me.

... did I kick you gettin' outta bed this mornin' or somethin'?

That has nothing to do with anything! Actually I woke up with you squishing me and you didn't want to let go.

... oh. S-sorry I've been--...

[having really fuck awful nightmares]

... I'll try not to do that again.

It's not like you can control it.

[Sigh.]

I'm going to start looking for a job tomorrow.

[And that's final.]

I could try...

... really? ... okay. [He doesn't really see a reason to argue with that.]

[She doesn't know about that, he's pretty unlucky.

It's the thought that counts??

No, this is too awkward right now, it's time to abort the procedure and just...go. Yep. Ugh how do you even deal with boyfriends, why wasn't this a class in school??]

Don't worry about it.

I'll make dinner tonight, okay? Just don't even look at the kitchen when you get home, watch some TV or something, chill out.

[She can work on a bento for him without him seeing the process, too.]

[That was unexpected...

But again he's stuck in a spot where he really can't argue because what would be the point of that.

He blinks a few times, then finally answers.]

... okay.
