Note: They won't be six years old the entire time, I promise. They just happen to be six in the first two. They won't all be about Yukio, either.
Note Part2: Apparently my little dividing lines for the different parts in here aren't showing up, so...I'm sorry if it's confusing. I'm trying to fix it! :D
"Hmm..."
"..eh..."
"..gg...ghh..."
"...Yukio?"
Startled, Yukio sat upright and closed the book in front of him with a snap. His father stood in the doorway, eyes narrowed behind the lenses of his glasses.
"Yes?"
"What are you up to, kiddo?"
"Just reading."
"Reading, huh?" Fujimoto came into the room, peering over his younger son's shoulder to read the title of the book on the desk. It was...a low-level book on scripture. The six-year-old fidgeted. "Ah! This old thing. All right, read your old man a few lines."
Fujimoto flipped the book to a random page, gesturing for Yukio to read it aloud.
The twin cleared his throat. "Um...'I-in the b-beginning...trees...' no, wait," Yukio pulled the book closer, squinting down at the words. "'there was...' um..."
His father laughed. "Nervous, then? It's okay, I get it, I get it. I'll let you practice."
Yukio sighed in relief. "Thanks, dad."
Fujimoto made for the doorway, thinking.
"Yukio!"
"Yeah?"
"Look. At. This. Shirt."
Rin proudly held the hem of the shirt outwards so his brother could see the entirety of the image.
Yukio looked for what seemed (to Rin) like hours. His face only went deeper into confusion.
"...You don't think it's cool?"
"W-what! No, Rin, that's not it. I just..." Yukio glanced around the room, leaning in close to his brother to whisper. "Rin, can I tell you a secret?"
The older brother solemnly nodded. Of course he'd keep a secret for Yukio.
"I can't see things very well."
Rin gasped. "What should we do?"
"I don't know if we should tell dad or not."
Fujimoto poked his head into the room. "Tell dad what?"
"WHOA!"
Rin stared open-mouthed at his brother, who adjusted the glasses on his nose and fidgeted under the scrutiny.
"Yukio..."
"Does it look weird?"
"Weird? What, no! You look really cool!"
Yukio grinned. "You think so, nii-san?"
"Duh. You have faerie kisses and glasses, so you must be extra cool."
