His arm lifted.
Across from him, the other did the same, at the exact same time, in the exact same way, in the exact same angle.
His head tilted.
The other did the same, at the exact same time, in the exact same way, in the exact same angle. He noticed a few strands fell forward, probably because his hair was still wet from a previous shower.
How curious.
"Knives? What are you doing over there?"
Sapphire blue eyes glanced over a slender shoulder to his approaching twin. He smiled brightly, "Vash! Come here, see what I found out!!"
The young plant did so, sitting down beside the other already there. "Nani?" he curiously asked, blinking at the large full length mirror that stood in front of them.
"It does everything we do!"
Vash sweatdropped, "Brother, that's not like you… Rem showed us this months ago and you weren't half as astonished. 'sides, it's a pretty logic phenomenal; when the light hits the-"
"Baka, I know that." The older twin quickly dismissed him. Placing a hand at the back of his head, Knives brought him as close to the reflecting surface as possible. "Look. What do you see?"
"Uh, me?"
Exasperated, the lighter haired child sighed. Getting up and behind Vash, both hands hovered over his head.
The teal eyed youth frowned, "Oye, what are you-" the rest came out as a jumble of squeals and fussing about as Knives quickly and effectively turned the tidy spikes into a complete mess by tousling it this way and that. Just as quickly, he was facing the mirror's surface again.
"Now, what do you see?" his brother's excitement showed in his voice.
A bit annoyed, Vash huffed, "Someone who's going to tackle you at any moment now."
"Exactly!"
The younger one blinked, "Huh?"
Knives looked proud, "You don't see "you", you see "someone", ne!" he knelt beside him yet again, then pointed at them both and their reflection. "If you look really hard, you can imagine it's someone other than you!"
"It's kinda hard to, since they look so much like us, don't you think?" a golden eyebrow rose.
"So what if they're identical to us? We can always pretend we're quadruplets! We won't be so alone anymore, will we?"
The sceptic thoughts were quick to vanish. "Hey, you're right!"
From the doorway, dark eyes glinted in motherly pride and happiness, shoulders shaking in quiet mirth. Rem shook her head, ebony silky strands going with the movements.
