Measuring Tape
AN: Sadly the Moon Child cast does not belong to me.
I have thought of this scene since I first thought of writing little scenes about Kei and Sho, it is deffo my favourite.
"Kei! Kei Measure us! Measure us Kei!" It was that time of year.
"Hai...go stand by the door...you too Toshi." An excited squeal as the two boys jumped up and raced over to the, 'One day I will be taller than Kei', door.
"Sho, stop standing on your toes, ToshiI can see the box that you are standing on..." Groans and mutters followed Kei's words as the boys consequently lost several millimetres of height.
Zip...Whiz
"Well?"
"Well what?" The words were light and teasing.
"Am I taller than you yet!?" Sho cried to the backing of 'yeah, yeah!' from Toshi.
"Ummm...' Suspense '...No."
"Nani!?"
"Sorry, you're both still midgets." Much scowling ensued.
"I'm not talking to you again Kei!!" Small feet stomped.
"...Sho..."

"Measure me Kei!" It was that time of year...again...
"Hai...you know where to go. Toshi? Are you joining in?" The small boy leapt up from his scooter to stand proudly, if significantly shorter, by Sho.
"Now, no, no talking to me of you are still shorter." Kei's drawled words were met with an innocent angel smile from Sho.
Zip...Whizz
"Tell us Kei! Tell us!" The two demanded, jumping about him.
"What? Tell you that you're still shorter than me." His smirk was met with round eyes.
"No way!!! I've drunk tonnes of milk this year!" Sho cried before tugging on Kei's coat till he stood by the 'One day I will be taller than Kei' door. The measuring tape was snatched from his fingers.
Zip...Whizzz
"...Well Sho? Is he telling the truth." Sho glared at the pencilled marks on the 'One day will be taller than Kei' door.
Small feet stomped.
"...Sho..."

"Kei measure me." Had enough time really passed for it to be this time of year, again?
"Hai..." There was no point in even mentioning the 'One day I will be taller than Kei' door as Sho was already standing tall and expectantly beside it. Toshi had given up.
Zip...Whizzz
"...Ah..."
"What is it Kei?" Sho was fighting not to smile.
"It would seem that you are taller than me..."
"What's that Kei? I Don't think I heard that right!" Sho was leaning theatrically towards him, his smile beaming.
"It would seem this door has lost its purpose, you are now taller Sho." Kei sighed, putting down the measuring tape.
"Oh! So YOU'RE the midget now eh!?" Sho whooped as he danced about the room, Toshi clutching at Kei's jackt to see if he too had grown. Kei had a sinking feeling that he had.
They were all growing up so fast...
"Hey! Teeny Vamp!!!"
...He was never going to hear the end of this.
