I don't own AnE

Fourth Moment

The sky was dark, light spilling forth from the illuminated windows of the abandoned boy's dorm of True Cross Academy; shadows danced at the edges of the light, grabbing and latching on with their spidery fingers as the moon and stars overhead were obscured by heavy clouds. Inside, two brothers – students, exorcists, twins – sat at their respective desks, scratching away at the papers and sheets in front of them.

"Gah! Spotty-four-eyes! How the heck do you expect me to finish this!" Cried the twin on the left, cobalt eyes glaring at their younger half across the room. An unimpressed look crossed the face of said teen, blue-green eyes hidden behind reflected lens.

Yukio sighed at his brother's antics; really, how many times did he remind Rin to do his homework before now? "It's your own fault, nii-san. I told you that procrastinating would only make it worse."

"Humph. You think you know so much," came the retort, Rin crossing his arms and leaning back on the chair's two hind legs. Yukio sighed again, glancing to the door as a small black feline entered the room. Kuro meowed, padding over to Rin's desk before hopping up onto it, twin tails flicking. "Oh, hey, Kuro." Rin greeted the cat sidhe, letting his chair fall back to all four legs.

Kuro gave another meow – presumably speaking with his familiar master in demon speech – before Rin grinned, chuckling somewhat. Yukio looked on, the unasked question hovering in the air as Rin made to push away from his desk and stretching. "Kuro says Ukobach chased him out of the kitchen when he asked for some catnip wine, so I'm gonna see if I can get some for him." The half-demon looked to his brother, eyebrow raised. "Want anything while I'm down in the kitchen?"

Yukio shook his head, returning to his own work on the desk. "No, thank you, nii-san. But you really should get your homework done; Adachi-sensei assigned you that essay a week ago, didn't he?" He gave Rin a look, making the elder scoff and turn to walk out of the room.

"Bah! I'll finish it, I'll finish it! Geeze, bro, stop worrying! You'll just give yourself more spotty moles!" And with that, Rin was out the door and down the hall, tail flicking the doorway and Kuro close on his heels. Yukio could only shake his head at his brother's attitude. Honestly, nii-san.

Fifth Moment

It should have been expected, really. With the way he had found Rin last time, he shouldn't be so surprised to find his elder twin in another… predicament.

"…nii-san…"

"Yeah, Yukio?" There was a rustling and paper shifted around.

"Why are you crouched near your bed?"

Rin's tail flicked as he made a grunt, arm stretched out as far as it could go under the bed frame. "Because, Spotty-Four-Eyes," another grunt, "I dropped a stupid piece of pa-AH!" Rin cried out in victory, shuffling back on his knees as he held a slightly lint-covered paper ball, grinning happily. "Got it! Finally!"

Yukio could only stare, his brother's involuntary cat-like behaviours starting to slightly worry the young exorcist. "Should I be… worried, nii-san?" He stepped in the room; honestly, he was barely gone an hour on that mission, and who knows how long Rin had been trying to nab that paper ball!

Rin turned his head to look at Yukio, an eyebrow raised. "Huh? Worried? About what?" The blue-black appendage swished across the floor behind him, showing his confusion.

Yukio sighed and shook his head, moving to his side of the room to remove his exorcist's uniform. "Never mind, nii-san. It's nothing."

"Oh. Okay, then…. Night, I guess." Rin bade his twin goodnight as Yukio was clearly tired after a random 1 am mission; Yukio didn't want to know, and he certainly did not have the patience to deal with his brother's antics.

"Good night, nii-san." And then the lights went off, leaving a very tired and slightly worried exorcist in bed, and his half-demon brother stating at him from his place on the floor.

Sixth Moment

It had happened. The truth about Rin's status as the son of Satan had been revealed, his fellow exwires hating and fearing him now that they knew. Really, things couldn't have gotten worse, but then the Paladin, Sir Angel, had to show up to take his brother to trial before the Vatican. Really, things couldn't have been worse.

So why was it that his brother was sulking on his bed later that night, after proudly declaring he would become the strongest exorcist they had seen? Well, the answer was simple…

Yukio sighed, leaning back in his desk chair as he looked at Rin. "Come on, nii-san. It's not that bad."

"'Not that bad'? Not THAT bad? Yukio, that damn baldy CUT OFF MY FOOT! It HURT, dammit!" Rin shouted out, hugging his right leg to him and tail flicking anxiously against the mattress.

"Nii-san. Please be reasonable. Sir Arthur didn't mean any harm in-"

"BULLSHIT HE DIDN'T!" The half-blood cut off his sibling, tears of anger starting to form as he bit his lower lip. "It freaking hurt! And I was lucky the bastard didn't move my leg…." Rin whimpered slightly, gripping his footed leg close, wriggling his toes to make sure it was still there.

Yukio pinched the bridge of his nose, already feeling a headache coming on. "But he didn't, nii-san. You still have your foot, and there's barely any scarring from the wound. Please, just get over it."

"Get over it?" Rin looked incredulously at his teacher-twin, an expression of horror upon his face. "'Get over it'? Yukio, he's an asshole! An asshole who cuts off peoples' feet!"

"Even so, nii-san, Sir Arthur is the Paladin, there's not much you can do." Yukio shook his head, getting up from his seat and gathering his night things. "Please, nii-san. For your own sake, just forget it. I don't want to see you get in trouble."

Rin pouted at him, glaring holes in Yukio's back before he huffed and cocooned himself in his many blankets. All Yukio could hear was some indistinct muttering about bastard bald-headed jerks, to which the young teacher sighed once more. Please, Lord. Don't let Rin hold a grudge this one time. He could only hope that his brother would let this slide, same as he did most other things….

Rin kept the grudge.

I couldn't keep away... I did have another moment thought up this morning, involving birds, but then I found that in the AnE wikia, Rin's favourite animal are owls, so I now have to kinda work around that? Somehow? Not really, but I digress. Also work happened...

As you can see, I am sorta following the canon timeline, though I will probably follow along the first anime season (and thus the anime-verse) only because, well, Yukio. Just... Yukio... Why, dude? Why? *shakes head at chapters 90 through 96* Oh, also, I haven't read his daily life spin-off, though I might look around to find somewhere to read it (when I have time.)

But still... I'm mostly here for the family drabbles, really. So.

If there's any spelling/grammar, please point it out! There's only so much Microsoft Word can catch, and I literally just posted these after I finished typing them, so! And yes, these are actually just off the top of my head... ._." So no beta reader here, but I think I'm good? Maybe? Well, anyways, I hope you enjoyed my drabble-y mind, really this is the most tame it can get, and Rin is still swearing! You don't wanna know what is hiding in the dark corners, really.

Cheers!
