you had known Rin Itoshi since childhood.

your brother was friends with Sae, and in turn you eventually got along with Rin. even after Sae left for Spain you’d often visit him just to hang out. It was nice, in his eyes. Eventually, you two were practically inseparable. Wherever you were, it was common to see Rin close behind, gripping your hand like a lifeline.

he also had a habit of falling asleep listening to you talk. It could be anywhere. His room, yours, a hotel, a couch, a beach, pretty much anywhere. Like now. You’re trying to have a normal conversation, but you have one issue. Rin is laying on your lap dozing off. Again. But hey, he looks pretty like this. You just hope he’s still paying attention instead of getting all tired. So, you asked if he was listening

“I’m paying attention.. I swear..”

you know damn well he isn’t.
