Out of nowhere, large hands covered your eyes, a familiar teasing voice asked, "Guess who?"

Suguru couldn't help but laugh at your exasperated groan, his arms encircling you from behind, pulling you into a warm embrace. Sure, he might be a tad overprotective, but he wore that label proudly. After all, what was wrong with showing some love for his younger sibling? And if it also boosted your popularity, well, that was just an added bonus.

He playfully pinched your cheek, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "Did you remember to eat your lunch? Growing children need their food."

It was a habit he couldn't break, a gentle reminder of his enduring affection for you. Every time he looked at you, he couldn't help but see the little toddler who used to follow him around everywhere, and that fondness never waned.
