Channary walked Selene over to the rug where a boy with black hair above his ears sat, showing a half-smile. "My Selene, stay right here while I talk to Mr. Rikan," she said. She pointed to the boy. "Play with Kaito."
He seemed to squint his eyes. "But I don't wanna to play wit' a baby," he said as the corners of his lips fell. He moved his toys closer to him, holding a somewhat dirty bear close to him.
"Rude," Selene barely said, putting her chubby hands on her hands on her hips.
Channary gave laugh, turning to Rikan. "Don't be rude, Kaito. Selene's a guest," he said, glaring at Channary. Kai winced as Selene blew a raspberry.
Channary walked out the doorway, sighing, "They'll be perfect together in the future."
Rikan raised an eyebrow. "Yeah. Perfect," he responded semi-sarcastically, walking behind Channary.
Kai glared at Selene, getting up and moving to the corner. "You sit alone in the corner," he said, pushing his toys toward his corner. Selene's lip quivered a bit, eyebrows pointing downward, eyes tearing up a bit. "Wait! Don't cry Selene. I didn't mean to make you cry," he said, walking toward her. He sat down next to her, wiping her face. She smiled, softly giggling. He gave a faint smile.
"It's ok," she said, hugging him. Her head was on his shoulder.
His eyebrows rose, stiffening up. "Uhhh," was all he could say. She looked up at him, grinning. She let go off him, trying to get up.
"Now I play with your toys," she said, walking over to his toys. She laughed, not paying attention to what was in front of her, almost falling.
He turned his head, shocked, "Wait. What?!" He ran over to his toys, trying to get to them before her, but she got to his blue teddy bear before he could reach her. She smiled, hugging the stuffed bear. Finally getting to her, he yanked the bear away. She frowned, looking at the bear. "Sorry. My mommy gave this to me. It's only for me," he said, crossing his arms with the bear close to his chest.
She took his ball, throwing it at his leg. She chuckled. "Hey!" he yelled. She laughed even louder, now laying on the floor. His eyebrows were furrowed, irritated, but he chuckled faintly, smiling.
He walked over to the couch, sitting down, kicking his legs. He sat the bear to the right of him as Selene walked over to his left, climbing on the couch it. She swung her leg up and lifted herself up. She sat next to Kai. She reached across him, picking up the bear, holding it in front of her. "Your mommy gave you this?" she asked, looking up at him. He nodded. "Where is your mommy?" she asked.
"She…" he began. "She's not here." He looked at the bear, frowning.
All she could say was "Oh." She sighed. "Well…" she looked down. "My aunty is not here either. And that makes me sad."
He faintly smiled. "We're alike," he said, taking the bear from her. She nodded. She looked up at him smiling. She hugged him for a second time, leaning on him. He smiled.
"I like you," she said suddenly.
He giggled, "I like you, too."
