"We made it through another year," Shuu sighed, gazing at the sunrise.
"Yeah…" Shin agreed, thoroughly entranced as well.
The three brothers had snuck out of bed early enough to catch the sun just as it was peeking over the horizon. The year before they had slept through it, but Shin had been smart enough to set an alarm. After all, the New Year was especially important and they wouldn't want to miss it.
Jyou failed to see the meaning behind watching the sun rise—he saw it on television all the time, anyways—but he was glad to be with his brothers. They looked so peaceful, they were practically glowing!
Of course, that was just the sun, but Jyou chuckled to himself because of his joke.
"What's so funny, mister?" Shin asked, amused by Jyou's giggles.
Jyou answered evasively, "Nothing…" then continued to laugh softly.
Shuu smiled and patted his youngest sibling's head, then threw his arm around Shin and said sadly, "Do you think we'll make it through this year without getting kicked out of the house?"
"Probably not. But I wouldn't worry about that now—we have a few more hours before our parents wake up and find us sneaking around the house like thieves."
Shuu laughed loudly, as the sun finally rose completely, bathing the brothers in the light of a new year.
