Kami lounged on a park bench awaiting the arrival of her twin brother. It had been a while since she'd seen him, and she was looking forward to being able to talk to him face to face. He was the only person she felt comfortable being around. It seemed as if everyone else she meet held this fake smile, like any second they could become your worst enemy, but Kojiki was always genuine, even when he was angry with her. Kami felt as if he was the only one in the world she could trust. She sighed as a light breeze brushed against her. Those were her two favorite things in the world, her brother and nature. Her bright blue eyes stared into the sky as she whispered into the wind,"Kojiki, where are you?"

But this was insane. They were too young for this! Not that it didn't happen, but it shouldn't to his sister. He rubbed his forehead gingerly, still feeling a little worse for the wear from last night. He'd gone clubbing again and stayed longer than he meant to. There was this girl and...
He shook his head as he pushed off from the wall, trying to clear away the migraine. He continued to mull over what he'd say for the last block and a half, but by the time Kojiki reached the park he still didn't know what to say. He could see her sitting at a bench, her head leaning back. Her mouth seemed to be moving, but he couldn't hear anything. He sighed heavily and approached the back of the bench, walking towards her from behind.
Even once he was in speaking distance, he still just stood there, unsure. He was never a fan of confrontations, and this wasn't going to be pretty.

Kami tapped her chest in time with her heartbeat, the sun slinked lazily across the cloudless blue sky. “What if he’s still really mad at me? Maybe he’s not coming…” She sat up and dropped her head. When she first told him about her ONS, she figured he’d be angry about it, but his reaction was so…harsh. Kami flinched just thinking about it. She turned to get up and leave, when she saw him standing only a few feet away. She rose slowly frightened he might leave. “Hey, Koji…” she started quietly. Taking a deep breath, she told him what she’d been practicing in front of the mirror for weeks, “I know you don’t approve of what I did, but,” she waved him off every time she thought Koji would interrupt her, “We’re not little kids anymore. I’ll always want you to be there to protect me, but I made the decision to do what I did…and…I don’t regret it.” Kami watched him, trying to judge how he was reacting to her words. “I just wish…” you weren’t still mad at me. But saying that might make him more angry, so she let her unfinished sentence hang in the air.

((Hey Zoey, is Kami pregnant at this point? Already had the bowls? Or is this just after the ONS and she doesn't know yet?))
His breath hitched as she started talking, but it wasn't at him. Or, well, it kind of sounded like it was but... she didn't seem to realize he was right there. He raised a hand with the intent of grasping her shoulder, but something she said made him drop it and listen. This felt...wrong, somehow. Like reading someone's diary, but she was speaking freely and he couldn't help but to listen.
He was shaking by the end, though he couldn't really put a finger on as to why. It just... hurt, somehow. Of course he knew they weren't kids anymore, and of course he'd always be there to protect her, but how could he save her from these sorts of things? And yea she might not regret it now but...
And who was he to judge anyway? He was better than this though, right? He wasn't the same as, as... some flaky good for nothing.
She just wished what? That things could just be easy? That this wasn't a problem? Or would go away? That maybe everything had gone differently and made sense?
"Don't we all?"
He sighed behind her, putting his hands on the back of the park bench as he looked down at her.

((This is just after the ONS. A few days or so maybe? We can make another RP for when she actually has the bowls wink ))
She didn’t know what he would say when she said it, but one she said it out loud, Kami felt exhausted...as if saying it loudly like that made it all true. It is true…every bit. She sat back down and sighed. Why did this have to be so hard? This was her twin she was talking to, and yet… Kami jumped a little as the air from Kojiki’s sigh traced the back of her neck. What should she say now? Their conversation hadn’t made it this far in her mind. She thought he would get mad again and leave. Kami chewed on her lip for a moment before turning to him.
"I just wish you could understand how I felt that night." She blurted, "I-I think if you did, you would understand." She looked away as the blood rushed to her cheeks. Memories had started to come back just as the words left her lips.

He frowned at her, shaking his head as she looked away. His hands came up to cover his face for a moment before he brushed back his hair in frustration.
"Kami... of course I do. I mean, I understand. It's just.... just all the 'what ifs'. What if you'd gotten hurt? If he was a scumbag? Hell, Kami what if you got pregnant?"
He shook his head again before dropping his hands on the back of the bench with a thud. This was his twin, the one person in the whole damn world he was supposed to be able to trust, and was supposed to protect. Yeah, he knew he couldn't save her from everything, but he was her brother and everything in him was just screaming at the wrongness of this. Accusing him of somehow failing.

Kami wiped away a few tears. "I didn't get hurt and he's not a scumbag!" She found herself a bit defencive when Kojiki said mean things about the guy she'd slept with, but shut her mouth at his last question. Was she pregnant? No...she couldn't be...She would know if she was. Wouldn't she? Kami shook herself and brushed off his last question. "Aside from...all that, it's been a while since I've seen you. How have you been?" She didn't want to continue that last conversation, it was making her too nervous and she didn't want to risk saying anything else that would hurt her twin. She hoped that he would take the bait and move on to a new subject.

He huffed at her protest, unable to imagine any guy that could possibly meet his approval and be good enough for his sister. Koji bit back his next comment though, she was obviously upset and verbally beating her up wasn't going to get him the result he wanted. Not that he was sure what that even was. There wasn't a way to take it all back, to make it untrue, and he himself was still dealing with that in his own personal life.
Bending forward to bow over his hands, he touched his forehead to the back of his white-knuckled grasp on the park bench and took in a long breath before letting it out slowly with a slight sigh at the end.
"Aside from my sister-"
Kojiki grunted in frustration, not wanting to finish the sentence and trying to steer himself away from the obvious topic. She didn't want to discuss it? Fine. Just fine. He'd take out his anger later and elsewhere and try to approach her about it again later when they'd both cooled off.
He straightened up and tried to let go, releasing his grip and walking around he bench to plop down on it with a heavy thud beside her. Slouching forward and not meeting her eyes, he ran his palms over his face for a moment before trying again.
"Fine, I'm fine. Been enjoying the city; and you?"
Enjoying the city? Well, that was one way to put it, he ribbed himself quietly. So much for setting an example.

Kami looked up as her twin took a seat next to her. She braced herself, but blinked in surprise as he went along and changed the subject. She could still feel a slight tension between them, but it eased slightly.
"Good to hear," she smiled and leaned into him realizing how much she'd really missed her brother.
"There's a concert I'm planning on going to later this year. It should be fun. I've mostly been staying at home and at the parks, the weather is always lovely this time of year." She ran her fingers along the edge of the bench and watched the grass sway in the breeze.
"You should come stay over sometime, it'd be nice to just curl up on the couch and watch a movie like we used to..." Those fond memories seemed to have happened ages ago, why did things always have to change?
