[It seems like a lot to him because of his general avoidance of the topic. The flowers are helping Yukio's case here.]

I know, I know... [He's just probably going to end up crying like the sap he is.]

Did you ever put them away?

[exorcizes]

( Flowers are helping a lot of cases here. )

Yeah, I put them in the closet in my room.

[demonizes]

[There's a considerable pause before Rin speaks again.]

Do you want to look at them now?

[exorcizes]

Mm, if that's what you want too.

[demonizes]

Sure... we can.

[exorcizes]

Let's go then.

( Up in his room, its clear how well kept he's been keeping it; though the fact he spends little time in there probably helps to some degree. Pulling the albums from the top of the closet, he moves to set them down on the bed before sitting himself. )

... I never really noticed how many pictures were taken while we were growing up.

[demonizes]

Alright.

[Rin's room is essentially the same though in a varrying degree. He barely owns anything he considers valuable, and what he does own tends to be strewn about. Far less organized than his twins room by a long shot, but hey at least he's got a spare pillow and blanket tucked in there.]

Of course there are... you remember how often that geezer had a camera on him. Haven't you gone through these since you got them?

[exorcizes]

It's still surprising. ( He sighs, taking one into his lap and opening the cover. ) No, I haven't...

[demonizes]

... [Rin takes a seat next to Yukio, picking up the other book and holding onto it. Much tighter than he realizes. He knew the moment the cover opened his guilt and sadness would rush back... but even Rin knew Yukio was right about the good memories being held within the book. ]

...Is that us as babies? [Asleep on top of a much younger, and clearly tired Shiro on the couch.]

[exorcizes]

Unless father took care of another equally chubby pair of twins, I would say so. ( A smile. ) They certainly made sure we were fed.

[demonizes]

Pff-he's had gray hair since then. [ The present tense catches in Rin's throat but he keeps moving. Scanning the other similar photo's on the page. ]

Lookit you, you're chubbier than me!

[exorcizes]

( Yukio frowns, flipping to another page and eyeing one that is clearly a picture of Rin shoveling all his disliked foods onto his own younger self's plate. )

I wonder why...

[demonizes]

[Sob. Boy did that strategy ever backfire on him.]

...Next page.

[exorcizes]

( He turns the page with a chuckle, tilting his head at the pictures that cover the page. )

Oh, these are from we went on vacation.

[demonizes]

Hmm? I don't remember much about that-[As the picture proved, because there Rin was snoozing against Yukio.]

[exorcizes]

Really? I can't believe you don't remember trying to bury me in the sand.

( And look, there's a picture to prove that one too. )

[demonizes]

...Hehehehe [ Oh he remembers now.] sand was a good look for you!

Too bad Da-...Jiji stopped me before I could find you some sea weed hair.

[exorcizes]

The crying probably helped stop you too.

( Really, look at that sad face. Still he flips the page again and chuckles. )

I guess this page is dedicated to your cooking disasters.

[demonizes]

[Rin pushes Yukio's head down a bit in a friendly gesture.]

Y'didn't trust that I wasn't going to burry your head-! [But they both knew Rin was weak to those sad faces Yukio used to wear.]

Ung no-we can skip these. [The burned food, the destroyed kitchen, the fearful expressions of everyone during the early stages of his experiments.]

Aren't there any pictures of you trying to mummify everyone?

[exorcizes]

I did trust you, ( Because if that was one constant with him as a child, it was the fact he trusted his twin no matter what. ) Still didn't mean it wasn't scary for me.

Why? They're funny. ( And as proof, Yukio chuckles. ) And I wasn't that bad.

[demonizes]

[Rin smiles instead of answering. Complying with the other.]

I think that's the year we tried making Jiji's birthday cake... [Where they accidentally switched the sugar with baking soda..]

Hey, at least we figured out what your halloween costume was going to be from then on.

[exorcizes]

And the year father got sick because he insisted on eating it all. ( He smiles a little, because it was actually nice to think about these things and smile. )

Yes, nothing like me tripping everywhere to seal the deal.
