Warnings- Hinted at shounen-ai (Ban/Hoji), spoilers for 'Skull Talking', 'Meteo Catastrophe', and 'Dekaranger Forever'. Painfully fluffy, and written very quickly for a theme challenge.
Miwa let out a huff of frustration as she smoothed out the skirt of her wedding dress. "Would you cheer up already, onii-chan? I'm certain that Banban-san is just running late. So try not to worry, okay?"
"I'm not worried!" Hoji snapped back, stopping his pacing just long enough to stuff his hands in the pockets of his formal trousers. "Although I wouldn't be surprised at all if that idiot forgot it's today."
She sighed again, but still felt a pang of sympathy for her older brother. He would never admit it, but ever since Akaza Banban's transfer, he... hadn't quite been the same. He still worked, still had a Deka's pride and reputation as a pro... but there were also times when Miwa would catch him alone, with a look on his face that said everything.
Gently, she placed a white-gloved hand on Hoji's shoulder. "There's no way Banban-san would forget. Remember how happy he was when I invited him?"
To her relief, Hoji's expression softened just a little. "I remember. And that dumb ass would travel planets just to see me cry-- which I won't."
The soon-to-be bride bit back a laugh... and then noticed the young man in a red SPD uniform dashing towards them.
"Partner! Miwa-chan!" He shouted, waving furiously. "I'm on time, right?"
Miwa glanced over at her brother... who was waving right back, with a look on his face she rarely saw.
"Are you... smiling, onii-chan?"
"Don't be ridiculous," Hoji said, his voice serious as always.
But the smile didn't leave his face.
