No need for LJ Cut! Mass action style stuff all around town. You can use this if you don't want to make a post. Or you can make a post anyway. Have at!

I don't know. You might do something overdramatic.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you're right. [He looks over at him, smiling a bit.] You'll just have to take my word for it, then.

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

Do I have to? [He manages to sound a bit dramatic himself.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[He snorts. The fact that his brother is actually playing along, too, really amuses hims.]

What do you mean, 'do I have to?' I thought you had more faith in me, brother! I am truly disappointed.

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

[And Albert can't help but point out...]

You don't look disappointed.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[What? He tilts his head.]

That's because it's a joke. [But maybe he thought that implied that he wouldn't be very disappointed if he didn't believe in him? Hm...] I guess I don't really know how much faith you have in me.

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

[He stops swinging his legs, propping his elbows on top of his knees and then propping his chin on his hands.] It depends on the situation. You can be so lazy.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Is that so...? [Somehow, that still stings coming from his brother even when he currently looks younger than himself. It wasn't as bad as usual, but it didn't change what he'd said.] I guess that's better than nothing.

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, I can trust you to take care of plans and anything that goes on ... out there. [He makes a vague gesture to the outside world.] Other times, I can't trust you to boil water.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[...that is a little harsh, but he doesn't dare say that to him, even like this.]

How about now?

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

[He tilts his head to look at Caesar.]

What do you mean?

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

I said I would look out for you. Do you trust me now?

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

Sure. You looked for me and found me just a little while ago. [Clearly his ideas of trust are a little ... plain.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[He was expecting a no since he had let Albert "embarrass" himself earlier, but he's completely fine with this.]

Good. I'm glad. Even though I would have done it anyway.

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

[He's already forgotten about that.]

Probably. You thought it was a game.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

N-no, that's not it. I thought you were mad at me. [Well. At first. It was fun later because it was like a game, but mostly...] I was worried something might happen to you.

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

I'm still an adult. [It's almost a paradox, him pointing out his age against his own childish reactions and appearance.] I can take care of myself if I need to.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

So I shouldn't look out for you? [He knows now that pointing out how childish he's been behaving would just upset him, so he'll try to keep his mouth shut about it.] I already told you earlier, didn't I? You're still my brother. I want to make sure you're okay, too.

[It didn't matter whether or not he could take care of himself, he wanted to protect his brother.]

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

So it is protectiveness. [He doesn't sound like he believes it himself. Why Caesar bothers with this protective feeling when he can't be bothered to do some other tasks around the house... It boggles his mind.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

I, uh... I guess so. [He should just admit it, but it's still kind of embarrassing.] You don't sound like you believe me, but that is quite all right. I simply cannot help myself!

[He may be speaking a bit dramatically, but he means what he says.]

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

[The reaction is sudden and probably quite out of place.

Albert laughs, smiling into his hands.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[...

Caesar just blinks at him for a moment. That was not what he was expecting.]

What's so funny?

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm not the only one being embarrassed by this experiment.

[His voice might be muffled as he covers his smile.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

D-do you really have to laugh about it...?

[It was pretty embarrassing before, but it's more embarrassing now that he's laughing about it.]

[myswornduty.livejournal.com]

You have to admit it's funny. Being protective of me? There's no point.
