Hiro was busy grabbing each brownie and almost stuffing it into his mouth. He managed to chew them enough to swallow without choking. They were really good. Better than most of the other ones that he had tasted in his life. With loads of sugar. His head turned quickly enough to see Akira's frown.
"Hey are you okay? If you're sad, you should eat one of the brownies! They're really good and it cheers most people up!"
He'd already lost control of the tone of his voice.

Akira looked at Hiro, a "hm?" sound escaped, he shrugged and poked his fries.
"Just thinking about my mother. I miss her." Another sigh.

"Yeah, I miss Yuki too, but we'll see them again!"
He nodded in an ecstatic manner. They were fast motions of his head. His wings kept to the beat, and began flapping themselves. He had to hold on to his chair to keep from coming off the floor.
"I mean, it's only school, right?"

"No... This is my home now." He ate a fry.
"My mom died when I was seven, it was my fault, really. We were baking cookies and my tail knocked over the oil, the oven caught on fire. Mother died to get me out of the house..." His tail twitched.
"Father blamed me and sent me away. Went to an orphanage, and now I'm here. This is home."

"Oh."
He calmed down a little, though his leg was still twitching a lot. The beating of his wings slowed until it was just a small buzz. He slurped a little on a carton of milk that had a straw coming out of it. After a few moments, he smiled a little, though it was only a hint of a smile.
"It's not really your fault, you know. You didn't do it on purpose. She just did what mothers do. They protect their children. She loved you. That's why she saved you."

"Yeah," his voice sounded meek. He felt bad now, Hiro was happy and buzzing, and Akira more or less, killed the mood.
"Just miss her sometimes, yaknow?" He chuckled, "This one time, she dressed me up like a girl, cause my sister and I look the same... I mean, we're twins, and we were 'sposed to be identical, but yaknow. She came out a girl and me a boy... anyway... She got us mixed up," He started giggling.
"I wore a pink dress out to the markets, and my sister my clothes. We both played along and pretended to be the other, and waited to see how long mother would take to notice."
He smiled, and took a bite from his burger.

Hiro laughed at the story. He'd never heard of someone accidently mixing up their own children before. But the thought of Akira in a dress was really funny for some reason. He couldn't really tell why, though. When he finally stopped laughing, he ate another brownie.
"I don't have any memories like that."

"Oh?" There was a brief silence, while Akira took another bite from his burger, "What kinda memories do you have?"

"None."
He took a large sip of milk, emptying its contents with a large slurp. It was really good for washing down brownies. His leg was twitching again, faster and faster as time progressed.
"Not about my parents, anyway."

"What about Yuki? Who's that?" Another bite, the burger was gone. He started work on the rest of his fries, after taking a large drink of the soda next to them.

"Ah! Yuki's like my dad!"
With nothing left for him to do, he flew in the air. He went slowly enough so that he could hear what Akira was saying, but quickly enough to stay up. He had to stay far enough away so he didn't disturb his food, though.

"Oh? What's he like?" Akira was curious, the boy wasn't like him. He didn't seem so easy to speak about the past. He was sure the boy had a good life, though.
Maybe it was just all the sugar.

"Yuki's the best! He's like really nice, and he lets me stay with him and stuff! But he's really bossy, and won't let me have candy unless I'm good! I can't imagine why!"
He began flying around the Mess Hall, happily whistling to himself. He had a lot of energy thanks to the two doses of sugar he'd had.

Akira giggled once again, watching the bee-boy fly around. He could see why Yuki never let him have candy. It made him hyper and there never seemed to be an end to it.
"So, why'd you wanna be a bee?"

"It just seemed like what I wanted to be! I've got antennae and everything! It's fun!"
He flew closer to Akira and leaned in, as if wanting to tell him a secret. He whispered the first part of the sentence, then moved back and sad the last part.
"Plus I can FLY!"
