Sixth Pattern ; video

[The journal's video function is on, and the image is soon one of two identical twins looking very sweet and very mellow. They sit side by side, one's arm on the other's shoulder.

It is a lie. Do not believe what you see.]

Hi everyone. I'm Hikaru.

And I’m Kaoru.

We just wanted to wish everyone who celebrates it here a happy Christmas.

And happy holidays to anyone who doesn’t.

[Hikaru reaches for the journal and, presumably, misses the mark so it doesn't turn off. It keeps broadcasting.

The small smile disappears, and he droops his head to rest his chin on Kaoru's shoulder. His voice is full of contrition and worry.]

I'm sorry, Kaoru. I still haven't really learned to cook. Without Mom here... I don't know what we're going to eat today.

((Kaoru sighs, raising a hand to Hikaru’s cheek and shaking his head.)) It’s alright, Hikaru. Even… even if we don’t have Mom or Dad or anyone… at least we’re here together. Though I am going to miss having a proper dinner.



(ooc note: Replies will come from either Hikaru or Kaoru or both. Please specify if you have a preference.)
