[What's this? A box of candy? He picked it up and brought it inside, studying it carefully. Who left this? Fletcher glanced at the various treats inside curiously, the heart shaped ones appeared to have something different printed on each of them. Unfortunately, he'd eaten some before setting them down on the table and going out for a walk in the fresh air.]

{Kukaku starts putting away the things she took out. She's not much int he mood to cook now. She's not quite sure how to address this problem. She doesn't want to hurt his feelings, but she's not exactly sure how to approach this.]

I'm not offended or anything. I don't want you to think I'm upset.

Hnn... It's just not a good idea. I'm mean, I'm kind of old... and dead. Among other things.

Ack! forgive my obvious spelling mistakes

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

You're not mean! [Finally, something he actually wanted to say.]

I...I don't know why I keep saying weird things, but...I still think you're a good person! [And no amount of 'tainted' candy would change that.]

Loll I make plenty of my own <3

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Believe me, there are a good handful of people who'd argue with you on that one.

[She shrugs.]

I'm an okay person. I'm not great. I've got my problems just like everyone else.

But I think what our focus should really be is why you're saying this weird stuff.

then we shall make spelling mistakes together lol <333!

[He nods, annd he hides behind the table.]

I--I don't know. M-maybe I'm just sick.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Kukaku sighs.]

C'mon... Don't hide from me. I'm not gonna bite or anything.

But if you're sick, I'm not sure what to do. I looked after Captain, but any actual treatment was usually Captain Unohana's job.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

No! I might say something weird again.

[Pause] ...Maybe I should leave.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Kukaku frowns, placing her hand on her hip.]

And go where? You're family, I can't just let you go out on the street.

If you're just saying these things and it doesn't mean anything and you know that and I know that... Then we just ride it out. It's not a big deal.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

But...I might say something hurtful. [He slumped in his stance, he was too unsure of himself right now.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Kukaku gives a weak smile.]

C'mon... You can't possibly say anything worse than I've heard before.

Already told you, there are some people who really don't like me, and some of them aren't quiet about it.

It's not like you'd mean it. So it's okay, right?

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[No matter how other people may have seen her, even if it were true like she'd said, he would never be able to think any less of her. He groaned slightly and clutched his stomach.]

I shouldn't have eaten so much...

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

....Ate what?

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He looks up, that's right, he never told her about the box he had found.]

Oh, the candy from the box. Did you want some? [How could he have not offered her any the minute he saw her?]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

.......Where did you get candy? There's no stores or anything around...

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

I-it was on the porch, I thought it was a gift.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

...You.. probably shouldn't eat stuff you find lying around outside.

Never know what kind of weirdos are running around.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[oh no, oh no panic! What if it was a trap? He's freaking out now and rushes back to Kukaku's side, clinging nervously to the single arm she had.]

S-sister...

...

...a-am I going to die?

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Oh god why had she said that? She knows how jumpy he can be.]

You're not gonna die... You said a couple of weird things but otherwise you seem fine. It's probably just some kind of prank. I used to know a guy who did this kind of thing all the time.

In fact, I'm pretty sure he pulled this exact thing on me more than once. I'd blame him if I wasn't already sure he wasn't around.

It's probably just this with being a pain in the ass. that's a thing witches do, right?

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[His head nods, but he clings tighter, almost as if he let her go, something terrible would happen.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[She sighs and wraps her arm around his shoulders.]

It's gonna be fine, okay? Don't worry... Big sis is here,so nothing bad will happen. Like I said, it's probably just some prank, and the wosrt that'll come of it is me having to punch someone in the face.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

...T-thank you--I LOVE YOU!

[...]

[If the heat of his face could burn things, they'd probably be on fire at that moment.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

... Heh...

'Course. Family loves each other. That's why we help each other out.

[She's trying her best to make this not so weird and awkward. She really is.]

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[Oh good, thankfully she had made that much less awkward for him, because he wasn't sure how to explain that one without fainting first. However, he was suddenly compelled to hug his big sis tighter, but this time he smiled, feeling content. The hug got tighter with each passing second that it just might be a bit much for her.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[This is fine for a few seconds but then it does get to be a little much. She has issues with compression.]

Eh.heh... Okay.. What do you say we get some real food into you? M-Maybe that'll help.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

No-! You have to sit down and rest. I can eat later. Besides, I'm not sure if I should eat anything else right now. Sit down and I'll go get you something for any bruises you have.

[And he stays clung to her arm the entire time.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Eh? ... I told you, I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all. Hell, I'd take more of a beating training back home.
