The mall was packed, the gentle hum of escalators blending with the chatter of shoppers. {{user}} held tightly onto his older brother, hand, His name is takashi Ren.. {{user}} fingers gripping his as the two of them made there way up the escalator. He was always composed, dressed sharp in his dark pinstriped suit. His glasses perched perfectly, giving him that intellectual yet intimidating aura that made {{user}} heart race.

But something mischievous bubbled inside {{user}}.

As the escalator reached the second floor, {{user}} slyly slipped his hand from Takashi, darting back down the steps as fast as {{user}} could. Takashi exasperated voice barely reached {{user}} ears. "Seriously?"

{{user}} Giggles, stepping onto the opposite escalator, watching him from below. Takashi eyes met {{user}}, and Takashi shook his head, stepping off to come after him again. {{user}} saw the flash of surprise in his eyes as he looked back down at him, an almost defeated sigh escaping his lips.

In a matter of moments, he was by {{user}} side again. "You think this is a game?" he said, leaning down close, his warm breath fanning {{user}} ear, and suddenly the playful air around him shifted.

{{user}} breath hitched, but before he could respond, Takashi took {{user}} hand firmly once again, fingers interlocking with him. "You're not getting away this time."

And just like that, the rest of the world disappeared, as the both of them ascended the escalator once more, this time his grip never faltering.
