Longer, but I still think it's too short...
"Daddy, why am I so different?" Rin asked quietly. He was currently on his Father's back being carried home from the school. When his teacher had demanded that he stay after class and wait for his Father, Rin Okumura couldn't help but feel terrible about the things he had done.
It wasn't that he had done anything particularly bad. His intentions were well, though he didn't go about on his actions just the right way. The raven haired boy was simply trying to defend his twin brother who had been picked on by some other students.
Let's just say Rin wasn't very good at controlling his anger. When someone messed with his younger twin, he went all out with their punishment, even if it was more than he intended.
Rin had some abnormal strength for a first grader. It was because he was a demon, the son of Satan, who had his powers sealed when he was born by his older brother, Mephisto. When his classmates had gone about teasing Yukio, Rin gave them a fate worse than..well, not death, that's for sure.
The children were currently suffering in the hospital and Shiro had to explain another way out of Rin's trouble. Shiro loved his son very much, he wouldn't trade him for anything else in the world, though the man did not think that children could be this much of a hassle when he took him in.
"You're unique, Rin," Shiro said. The boy was not buying it, nuzzling into the back of Shiro's neck with sadness. "It doesn't matter what others think of you, Rin. I love you, and so do your brothers," the man added. "Speaking of your brothers.." Shiro said, directed more to himself than Rin.
"Are big brothers visiting today?" Rin asked excitedly. Shiro gave a nod and the small boy began to get excited. Not that he wasn't before his question was confirmed. Shiro chuckled as the boy struggled to be put down. When the man placed his son on the ground, Rin began to run at a faster pace. He loved to see his brothers. They always brought entertainment.
"Not so fast, you'll trip!" Shiro scolded, though to no avail. Rin wasn't listening. The man sighed and caught up with him, taking the small hand in his own. "They're not going anywhere," Shiro said. The two walked steadily until they reached the monastery.
"Welcome home, Daddy, Nii-san!" Yukio exclaimed with a smile. The other twin ran to Rin and embraced him tightly. He had been waiting for his brother to come home ever since he left from school with Kyodo and Maruta.
"Hey there, Rin. Took you some time," Mephisto said as he saw the smaller boy. "Another fight?" he asked, more directed to Shiro.
"Yes, another one," Shiro said with a sigh. "It's not like it's that big of a deal. All kids fight," was something Shiro constantly reminded himself. He couldn't loose his cool, though was nowhere near close to doing so when he was so proud of his older son for defending is younger.
"You're right," Mephisto responded. Amaimon quickly ran to the twins that were continuing to hug. He tackled the two to the ground when Rin and Amaimon began to 'fight' as they always did when they saw each other. It wasn't like real fighting, but more like a playful skirmish between children.
"No leash this time?" Shiro asked. It was surprising as every time Mephisto ever brought the boy to see them he was on a leash.
"Not until we're on our way back home, or somewhere stopped. He won't run away while he's here," Mephisto said.
"Ah, so you've finally trained him?" Shiro joked.
"Very funny. What about my favorite twins? Are my baby brothers behaving themselves?" Mephisto asked.
"Rin just got him from a fight and you'll ask that?" Shiro asked. Mephisto gave a chuckle at this.
"What can I say, he's just like his Father," Mephisto joked.
"I would say he's more like his Mother," Shiro said. It was true, Yuri and Rin shared the same temperamental state, not to mention their attitude.
"He's my brother! You can play with him later!" the men were suddenly engrossed with by what the younger children were fighting about. Well, what Rin and Amaimon were fighting about.
"You always get to see him! He's my brother too, ya know!" Amaimon shouted. Rin growled just as Amaimon pounced. Shiro was about to intervene when Mephisto stopped him.
"It's healthy for boys to fight. Anyway, I know just what to break the two up," Mephisto said. Shiro decided to humor him, letting him fix the problem. It wasn't long before Mephisto produced ice cream for the children. Amaimon had a sweet tooth and Rin was a glutton. Yukio was just a normal child. Soon enough, the three were cheerfully eating ice cream and the room was actually silent for a moment.
"Is it just me or does it seem like you're rewarding them for fighting?" Shiro asked.
