❥for chou? but if that's too spoilery then ryo!

It was warm. A bit... too warm for their tastes.

A breeze brushed their hair back, pushed against their shut eyes, forcing them open just a bit paired with the sound of a holler.

“Ryyyyoooo-kun! Come on!”

They blinked, gazing off into the distance. The ocean stretched on seemingly endlessly before them, knees pulled up to their chest.

The sand was no longer burning their freckled feet- rather, they had become numb to the whole sensation.

“Come on, dumbass! What’s taking you so long?”

The next thing they knew, they were at home, exhausted and soaked from the beach. It’d taken roughly five minutes to walk there to the house, and for that, they were thankful- a short journey. Something was off, and they knew it.

Darkness. The house was silent, creaking only slightly with its age. Quiet. A note was left on the counter- they couldn't read it. The writing was smudged, and honestly... Ryo was a late bloomer when it came to reading skills.

A dull ache could be felt in their heart, and they knew this would be for a long time to come.

   When Ryo awoke, he wasn't surprised to see Sina still fast asleep next to him as the memories of what had occurred the previous night slowly returned. Orochi was not to be seen, however, and it was the distant sound of noises from the kitchen and the aroma of food that ultimately dragged Ryo out of the bed to see who was up. Leaving the warmth of the bed and Sina's side was unpleasant, and with a few mumbles under his breath Ryo promised himself to return and sleep for at least a few more hours after his curiosity was satisfied. Until then, the purple haired boy wrapped himself up in a blanket and proceeded to make his way out towards the kitchen. His steps were slow, lazy, and; he was unbelievably sore. No doubt from last night. When did they even fall asleep? He couldn't remember. 

With a soft sigh, Ryo lifted a hand to run through messy hair as he stepped around the corner and peered into the kitchen. "... Orochi? You're up..? 's so early.." He mumbled, blinking lazily at the sight before him. Was he making breakfast...?

Family trees- oftentimes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, right?

That's what Ryo considered while uncrossing and re-crossing their legs, one knee bouncing as they plunged back into thought. Like mother, like child- hadn't that been what'd been said? They didn't do what their mother did- so that couldn't have been right. What was it...

Oh well. The moment of contemplation was over. They had knitting to get to. There wasn't too much time left in the afternoon for them to really work, so they had to act fast with nimble fingers weaving thread into an approximation of an incredibly unfinished scarf.

It wasn't unheard of for family members to attend Hope's Peak at the same time. It also wasn't unheard of for one family member to be sprung on by the other in a vulnerable moment of bliss. 

Like this one.
