Yuuri awkwardly manipulated the chopsticks in his left hand at dinner, trying to pick up the piece of meat to place in his hungry mouth. His right arm had been placed in a cast earlier in the day, hanging from a sling over his shoulder. Shori watched his brother’s efforts with a frown.
Yuuri sighed heavily. “I wish I was ambidextrous,” he said, leaning down to grasp the food in his lips before it fell to the plate again. “It would make this a lot easier,” he continued, voice muffled by his chewing.
Shori’s frown deepened. “This wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t so reckless. I told you that old tree’s branches looked like they wouldn’t hold.” Despite his warnings, Yuuri had climbed the old tree to retrieve an assignment blown away by the wind, the papers getting trapped in its branches. He’d had to watch in horror as the branch snapped, the screaming teen falling to the ground below. “You’re lucky that you weren’t killed.”
Yuuri eyed his brother. “You don’t have to be so dramatic. Everything turned out fine.”
Shori glared at him. “You can’t just plow through life without thinking of the consequences.” His eyes softened somewhat. “And it wouldn’t hurt if you just obeyed me sometimes.”
Their mother turned to the younger of the two. “That’s right, Yu-chan. You should listen to your older brother more. He just wants to keep you out of trouble.”
Yuuri made a disagreeing sound before scratching at the exposed skin at the edge of the cast. “It’s starting to itch already. Why’d it have to be my right arm?” he lamented.
Shori just watched him, brows knitted together.
