Surprise Visit
Tugging on his backpack, shifting the weight so that it didn't drag on his back so much, Tenko found himself thinking back on just what he'd packed before he'd left the house in the morning. He couldn't think of anything that could be so heavy, so Tenko made up his mind to take a look before class started in earnest. When he did finally make it to school, setting down the backpack that someone or other had packed with something heavy, Tenko couldn't help but wonder if Sensei had been the one to pack it in there for him.
It was heavy enough that he didn't think it was some kind of food, but when he did manage to get his backpack open…
"Zu-chan?!"
Reaching down to pick his baby brother up, Tenko couldn't quite keep himself from laughing, even as he caught sight of one of teachers making their way over to where he was standing.
"What do you have there, Tenko-chan?"
"I brought him for show-and-tell," he said, smiling up at the teacher as she made her way over to where he was standing; Tenko pulled his baby brother up close to his chest.
The teacher laughed, leaning down to get a better look at his baby brother. "Well, I guess I can allow it, just this once."
Tenko grinned, even as he zipped his backpack back up and reminded himself to call Sensei; Sensei would want to know where Zu-chan had ended up. As he picked up his baby brother, who was starting to get a bit squirmy the way he did when he was finished with a nap and wanted to move around, Tenko laughed softly. Ruffling Zu-chan's hair, Tenko carried his baby brother over to the story area.
He'd be a lot more comfortable on one of the soft beanbags than a hard old chair, and Tenko could sit down while he called Sensei to tell him what Zu-chan had gotten into this time.
