Kristoph smiled down at his younger brother. He had seen how Klavier studied his nails at the breakfast table as they both ate their cereal in silence. Kristoph looked down at his nails, making sure the clear polish wasn't chipping as he spotted Klavier standing in his doorway.
"Krissi, why are your nails so shiny?" The younger boy smiled, hoping his brother would share his secret with him.
"Klavier, you should be in bed by now, don't you have school tomorrow?" His brother nodded, the hopeful mood was slipping away. Kristoph continued to watch his brother stare at him as he heard his mother's voice from down the hall.
"Klavier, you should be in bed." Kristoph smiled as Klavier turned to leave.
"Klavier just needs to finish one more question, then I'll put him to bed." His eyes sparkles as Klavier bound over to his brother, his face lit up with a smile. Kristoph motioned for his brother to close his eyes as he turned around. He could feel his brother's excitement in the air as Kristoph smiled.
"Alright, open your eyes." Klavier opened his eyes, his bright blue eyes showing confusion as he looked over what his brother was holding.
"What's that, Krissi?" His brother smiled, as he gave the round object to his brother for closer inspection. "It looks like a flower... Why is it so shiny?"
"It's a badge, Klavier. Can you guess what kind?" His brother searched his brain for the answer, what had his brother been studying for the past months?
"An attorney's badge!! Did you pass the test Krissi?!" His brother began to bounce up and down as Kristoph began to laugh.
"No, no! Klavier, think harder! What is special about tomorrow?" Klavier stopped bounding and began to think again.
"Christmas?" Kristoph began to smile as he shook his head. "Easter?" His older brother's head shook again. "Oh! My birthday!" Klavier smiled as his brother smiled again.
"Yes Klavier, tomorrow is your birthday. I have my first case tomorrow, so I'm giving you your present now." Klavier looked up at his brother, knowing his present would exceed all his expectations. As Kristoph pinned the badge onto his brother's night shirt, he smiled at the fact he had avoided his brother's initial question. "It's a poke badge, from those games of yours."
A pokebadge... It was my friend's Idea... In the middle of Media Arts... (Of course we were working...)
