9th Struggle | [Action/Video] | Back Dated [2/13] | What had happened was...

[pinnedbangs]

[Action]

Work, work, work… was that all Yukio ever did? They were in Johto – scratch that, they were in Goldenrod City! There were way more things to do than sit back and look at formulas or poking berries, like Yukio. Sure, it was one thing for Rin to work with new ideas for Pokemon food – it was food, (duh) but it was sort of part of his job? And that was way more important and about a thousand times more interesting than – than –

What the hell are you doing? Was a question that needed to be asked but Rin wasn’t willing to wait for an answer. There was something far more important that voicing an obvious question – and it was a simple thing that lay in a medium sized bowl between them. Yukio was closer to it with his – tools? Or. Y’know. His doctoring toys. Whatever those things were. Rin stood close to the table, one hand hovered over the bowl. He was ready to reach into the bowl to grab another cheri berry for the recipe he was working on (which was going to be awesome by the way) but… but…

His brother looked far too content. Far too engrossed in his work. Far too OLD and BORING and if Rin wasn't careful, Yukio might actually age faster by just sitting there.

“Hey, bro.”

Yukio made a noncommittal sound, barely glancing up from his – whatever Frankenstein thing he was tinkering with. This was going to be almost too easy. And there was no doubt that this was The Best Idea Ever.

“Betcha can’t eat five.”

That time Yukio looked up over the rim of his glasses. He glanced between Rin and the bowl and back to Rin again, as if he had really considered it (okay, maybe he didn't but it looked like he did!).

“That’s stupid, you’re just going to hurt yourself.” He said softly before glancing back to his work. But Rin would not be dissuaded. Oh no, not with an answer like that.

“You’re just chicken.”

Yukio glanced up again, a frown on his face. “Am not.”

“Bawk bawk baaaaaaaaaaaaaawk!!”

He made a pretty damn good impersonation of a chicken, if did say so himself. That was all it would take. This spoken-unspoken challenge was on!

Airi fluttered around both boys, her arms flapping about as she flounced between them with nursing supplies in tow. They were still seated at the table where their challenge began, except the bowl of freshly picked cheri berries was suspiciously empty.

Yukio had a large wad of tissues latched to his ruddy face. He pointedly ignored his brother as he did his best to hold his face in one piece. Rin lay his head on the table, a distinctly nauseous look on his equally flushed face. He would have made a quip or two if it didn’t feel as if he would suddenly hurl at any given moment.

The younger Okumura reached over, his hand waving in the air to bat away the Gear's camera which seemed to be held above them. "Kizamime... why are you... turn that thing off." he groaned, managing to wipe his face with the tissues. Behind the camera is the chirp of a rather cheery Noibat, almost splitting his sides in amusement at the sight.

But Yukio managed to straighten himself up before digging into his wallet and handing Airi a few pokedollars. "Airi, run to the store and get us some milk. I think we'll probably need..." he began before turning his attention to a groan from nearby.

"I think I'm gonna be sick--"
"Rin, no!"

[ He's watching this whole exchange with mild... curiosity. Morbid curiosity really. Aren't those cheri berries spicy? Okay so... boys will be boys but... these kids. He can't help himself. The last time he saw something like this was when one of his own got too hammered and challenged everyone else to a drinking game. Somehow, there's still something homey about it.

But well, wouldn't hurt to find out a little more about the crazy kid with the impulse eating habit. ]

The hell'd you guys do?

Oh, no! Mr. Yukio! Where are you? Are you still in Goldenrod city? We can help!

[tearsofademon]

...Um... Are you two okay?

[armoredsoul]

...do I wanna know what you guys did?

[He's going to assume Rin is to blame for this mess.]

[babel_hacker]

[Atsuro looks really, really concerned.]

Are you guys alright? Just what happened?

[video]

[soundmind]

[Judging by their position and the bowl...they probably ate something they weren't supposed to. Likely from a bet.

Ugh, boys.]

Idiots, both of you. Yukio, I'm surprised at you, what kind of doctor crams things into his mouth enough to make him sick? Or--what did you even eat? Was it something you're not supposed to, like say, berries?

[ And with that out of the way, he's just going to flop backwards with his fingers pressed against the bridge of his nose to alleviate the heat. At least it seems to be helping if anything. Airi had been sent off to get their milk. All he had to do now was to wait.

There's a pause as he pushes his glasses up on his head and rests his arm over his eyes, glancing ever so slightly at Rin from under his arm ]

We're never doing that again.
