you'd do anything for me

The silence that drifts between them is companionable and tense at the same time. There is so much both of them want to say, but also so little to be said. Unlike many siblings, these two have a connection that is incomparable. Kuroo can tell by the hardened expression on his brother's face just how he is feeling. He doesn't need to ask, confirm, to do anything but nod his head slowly. Of course, both of their hearts are struggling. Kuroo isn't even sure the man he had dreamed of was worth it anymore. Not when he was so connected to the bamboo and the pack. He could never envision himself leaving.

"We enjoy difficult, don't we?" Kuroo muses as he continues to draw in the sand with his paw. From traveling away from home, to coming here in search of their father, to finding their father and his new family, and now to Usagi falling in love, and him? Well, love was far far far away from his mind at that point. Ever since arriving, life had been more than difficult. It had been a lot to bear, but he wouldn't change it for the world.

Kuroo's smile brightens with Usagi's expression as his tail thumps a little heavier in the sand. "Oh, not every season?" There is a mischievous look about his face as he shoots his brother a look. "We can scout more of the oaks since we will be expanding there soon," he adds in with an affirmative nod. "Maybe some of us can start staying out there instead of the bamboo," the boy muses as he raises a brow at his brother. Maybe some added privacy for his brother would help this new relationship of his.
