"Hey, 1." 2 called out, a big grin on his face. His smile turned to concern when he saw half a dozen large rip marks along his shoulders.

"You're all holey!" 2 exclaimed, nudging him with his elbow. "Now you're really the Pope Doll." 1 scoffed at the inane nickname the twins, along with 2, 5 and 7's help, thought up.

"I'll fix you up though!" 2 said, still chuckling to himself at his own little joke. He'd have to tell that one to the others. He pushed 1 to a sitting position to better reach his shoulders.

2 was sewing him back up and attempting to make small talk with the uncooperative 1. He was chattering away on and on about something he and 5 had made. 1 wasn't really listening until 2 stopped for a moment, examining his handiwork.

"Well, there you go, my brother, all patched up." he patted him on the now fixed shoulder. "Though I can't help but wonder how you got these. No, no. it's rude of me to ask. Just see to it that it doesn't happen again." he gave him a roguish wink. Of course he wasn't completely sure of who did it but he had an inkling.

1 grumbled. "It was 7, that blasted girl. She couldn't keep her hands off of me." He shook his head, trying to pass it off as the scars from a fight.

2 bit back a smile. He knew it and he was happy his big brother had found someone at last, despite it being the one stitchpunk who harbored the most resentment towards 1. He also smiled at the double entendre 1 unwittingly uttered.

So his thoughts were right. He knew that 7 had similar rips along her back. He had also noticed a slight.. change in 7's habits and personality. Mood swings , for one example. He didn't know how to break it to his big brother but someone would have to soon. There was going to be a new occupant in the cathedral at last. 2 laughed, imagining how he would react upon finding out.

He had been right all along. 1 had finally got the girl.

AN: Hokay, I see 1 and 2's relationship as more of a ozai/iroh thing from avatar the last air bender. XD I do not ship it but it's hilarious to see them interact in a familial way.
