The door chimed and mismatched amber and blue eyes politely smiled to see the person, "Welcome."
"Hm." Kurogane walked over but noticed some things were different about this guy than the guy who told him to get him sweets to pay for the aquamarine. But he looked a lot alike. A brother maybe?
"These are for Fai,"
"Hyuu~" the brother imitated his brother. "How sweet of you~"
"Not really. It's what he asked for to make up the difference…"
"You mean, you don't think I'm Fai?"
"You don't even look like him," Kurogane said flatly.
Eyes widened and the brother cleared his throat before talking in his own voice, "well now that we've settled that...I don't have to pretend in front of you like I do with everyone else."
"Why bother?"
"Because only Fai owns this store… I only babysit it when he says he needs to do an errand."
"Ah."
The door bell chimed and the brother smiled a little more sincerely so Kurogane turned around to see Fai there with bag of food.
"Yuui~ I bought you a lunch too. .. Ah, Aura Man, you're back~"
"Fai, how many times do I need to tell you selling your wares for food is no way to run your business-" The brother - Yuui - lightly scolded Fai.
"Yes, yes… but it was only a few times…" Fai dismissed as he came in and plopped down on the desk. He pulled out a chef salad and handed it to Yuui. "For my darling baby brother~"
"I'm not that much younger than you, Brother.
"Yes, well when I was your age, I was walking in that door to see my brother and Aura Man in my shop."
Kurogane barely had time to process what was said before Fai was turning his attention to him. "So Aura Man...what goodies did you bring me?"
"The eclairs…called em yesterday so they'd have a better chance of being prepared and not being the one that took em all."
"Aww~ how thoughtful of you~" Fai cooed. "Would you like one?"
"No … just the aquamarine."
"I bet you already ate some Duklyon Sweets," Fai pouted momentarily before opening up his box of sweets and stuffing one of them in his mouth and humming as he ate it. Kurogane didn't bother to correct him. He then went behind where Yuui was and pulled out the paper receipt with the stone Kurogane had picked out.
Yuui slowly moved out from the chair and took his salad, going to the back room to eat it. On his way out, he told his twin to 'behave himself'.
Fai laughed at that before smiling at Kurogane, "so… this is yours now."
Kurogane took the stone and carefully pocketed it, leaving his hand in his pocket.
"I look forward to seeing what your aura seeing skills pick out next time," Fai said with a bright smile.
"We'll see," Kurogane murmured.
