You stood off to the side as Asriel tore into the box the two of you found in his parents' closet. Judging by the stuff he had already pulled out, the box was quite full of stuff. It was mostly boring things, like old photos and books. You weren't particularly interested in any of it, but Asriel was determined to find something. However, with all of this stuff already strew about the floor, you doubted anything of worth was in there.
"Find anything yet?" You asked, only doing so to make him happy. You had stopped paying attention a while ago. Asriel was waist deep in the box, his legs hanging out of the top. Every once in awhile, something new was lightly tossed out and onto the ever-growing pile. You really didn't want to clean that up later.
"No, not yet," Asriel's muffled voice called. Of course not. "Wait! I think I found something!" He struggled a bit before he was able to climb out of the box. In his hands was a silver device you recognized pretty well. It was a video camera. A kind of old one. It certainly looked worn.
Needless to say, you weren't impressed. You looked between it and his huge grin. "So?"
"We can play with this!" He didn't look deterred in the slightest by your lack of enthusiasm. "We can make a movie, or home videos or something."
You still weren't all that interested. Without another word, you turned to walk out of the room. He could play with that on his own. You'd find something else to do.
"W-wait! Chara!" Asriel grabbed your arm. You didn't have to look to know he was making the face with those wide, begging eyes. You couldn't deny that face (and you hated it so much).
"Fine," you muttered, "but you can't make me get excited about it."
"Good enough!" Asriel said. And then he was dragging you out of the room. Apparently, he had forgotten about the mess he'd made. Not that you really cared. You weren't going to clean that all up anyway.
Soon, the two of you were outside, Asriel fiddling with the camera. Eventually, he got it to turn on. You were kind of surprised to see that it was still charged or had working batteries to be honest. Maybe it hadn't been in that box as long as you thought. "Aha! So let's see… this is how you record, this is the play-back…" He muttered to himself as you sat down. You were expecting this to be kind of boring, but it was better than nothing.
You snapped out of your thoughts as you heard Asriel giggling. He was pointing the camera at you. It didn't take a genius to know it was on. "You know, Chara, you look really cute when you're deep in thought."
"Hey! Stop recording!" You took a grab at the camera, but Asriel deftly doged your attempt.
"You're gonna have to move quicker than that!" He taunted playfully. All the while keeping the camera trained on you. Once again, you tried to grab it. And once again, he moved out of the way just in time. How was he so good at dodging like that?
Soon, you were both out of breath, laughing on the ground. You weren't really that annoyed anymore. It had turned into a game at some point. It was a lot more fun than you had expected.
"Hey, Chara, do your creepy face." He had it pointed at you again. What did he mean by creepy face? Did he think you were creepy? "Yeah, that's the one!" You hadn't even noticed you were making a face. Asriel suddenly jumped. "Oh wait, I left the lens cap on!" He quickly pulled it off, but you turned away. "Aw, come on, Chara? Just do it one more time."You firmly shook you head. He pouted, but you weren't giving in this time.
You made one last feeble grab for the camera. This time, Asriel was unable to keep it away from you and you got it in your hands. "Very funny." You shut the camera off and got to your feet, but not before making sure the video was saved. What could you say, this might actually be pretty funny down the road.
Asriel followed your lead. "Let's stop for now. I'm beat." He grinned sheepishly, which was kind of appropriate now that you thought about it. "And we should probably go put everything back in the box before Mom or Dad see it."
"Let's keep the camera though," you suggested.
"Definitely."
