FROWN forms as fingers pocket the phone, sighing once he enters upon an empty room & an open window. guess he should’ve seen that coming, huh ? chiyo’d always been the slippery one, always been the quickest on his feet-- even compared to HIM. the ankles of his feet are quick to burst into flames, & pretty soon he’s out the open window, eyes scanning everywhere he could think chiyo’d be hiding in / behind / under.
he comes to a stop mid air, heartbeat quickening & blood running COLD at the sound of someone... crying ? ( oh , how he’d recognise who this sound belonged to even within a sea of a hundred people ). it doesn’t take long before he finds the source of the noise, heart TWISTING in guilt when he sees the state his brother was in. slowly & effortlessly, he allows himself to float to the ground, feet landing on the grass right behind chiyo with next to no sound.
before anything else, his uniform jacket is shrugged off, WRAPPING the younger boy’s frame with it-- & only then does he quickly settle himself behind him, pulling him into an embrace. ❝ ‘s cold out tonight, little brother. ❞ he starts as a hand moves to rub circles on the other’s back, offering him a small smile, ❝ you don’t have to run from ME, y’know ? i’m not angry at you. ❞
