"So can you be really an older and a younger at the same time!?" Haruto was becoming even more curious. Probably that was the first time he innocent boy meet a middle child.

"A-And how is it!? Do you like it!? How is your younger brother? I think I never meet him...! A-and do you prefer being the older or the younger!?" The questions started to come out without his consensus. It was a lot of things he wanted to know about the middle one, not only because that, but because he still was Chris's brother.

"Oh and... Sorry, I forgot to ask... What is your name, mister?"

IV laughed at that,”Yes,I suppose I am a younger brother,just like you.” It was kinda amusing to see the younger boy so excited about that. “Though,I’m also a older brother ‘cause I have a younger brother as well as a older one.” That may be one of the only perks a middle child has,they get to be a older sibling and younger sibling at the same time.

"It's okay, brother." Haruto said, returning the glance to Kaito with a smile, then followed his eyes to where the tower was supposed to be. "The tower was the symbol of the city, and I'm sure dad will make it something good for all." He made a pause, gazing again the older. "And you too, brother!"

The child knew that his sibling has a soft side that few people was able to see, that's why he believed Kaito could do something to protect Heartland City.

“Yes, Doctor Faker, I mean, dad is planning to restore it soon. It’s the workplace of most of Heartland’s administration, after all.” With a sigh, Kaito shook his head, hoping to dislodge the cobwebs infesting his mind. “I’m sorry; Heartland Tower is more than just a workplace now.”

Kaito glanced at Haruto to gauge his reaction, then out toward the former location of the tower.

Haruto let escape an amazed sound when Rio confirmed about her brother. "You know, you both are really similar!" He said, trying to place a imaginary Ryoga by her side and comparing them. For what he could remember, they were so much similar, and the guy doesn't look much older than her. The child wished he could see the siblings side by side.

Then he returned to her comment. "Well... My brother is really famous in the city, maybe you know him, but he doesn't look anything with me." The boy chuckled a bit saying that. The Tenjos are very different, in some points they are the opposite from each other. "Kaito is a lot older than me, and he is blond with blue eyes, while I have golden eyes and blue hair. It's so funny!"

Haruto nodded with the girl, accepting her advice. The kid was anxious about his past and everything he forgot, but try to rush things wouldn't make his memories return faster. "You're right! One day I will recover all my memories. Furthermore, the past won't change, so I need to live the present, right!?"

A big grin was spread on her face now, a genuine smile that made her eyes close. There had to be a reason that the two were so alike. It couldn’t be just because it was coincidence. She opened her eyes to see the others mouth open, which allowed her to let out a giggle.

Her face returned to a normal blank slate as he thought to himself about her brother. “That’s right! He’s my older brother. Maybe I know your brother too? You never know!” 

“You’re welcome. It’s sad that you can’t remember everything right away, but it’s better that you don’t rush it. You’ll remember everything if you wait for it.” Even though she just met him, she wanted to help him learn more about his past. There wasn’t anything that she could do at this time to fix that.

Haruto looked at the direction of the voice to see a teen wearing purple, matching with his hair. The child saw that guy once, but he didn't have any clue about who was him, except that he must be Yuma's friend.

"Ah, hello, mister!" Haruto greeted the other, smiling.

“Hm?” Shark looked over to see a young boy with blue hair. He didn’t know him personally, but he had heard about him some from Yuma, and because of that, he was aware his name was “Haruto” and that he was Kaito’s little brother. “…Hey there.”

[bluecarameldreams-blog]

"I know, and I am proud of them! It's really good see dad and big brother working so much for the city!" Haruto said that with a grin, that soon it became soft. "And yeah... I stay here by myself often, but it's not a big problem, because now I play like the other children and meet new people, like you!"

There was another light in the child's eyes. Something that cannot be seen in the others, and just someone who lived the same pain as him could understand. It was a great relief that he can live as a normal kid again.

"I feel happy again..." That quietly words were spoken unnoticed.

“Yeah, ‘sounds like they’ve both got their hands full,” he commented, feeling a twinge of pity for the child. Rei had no siblings, and generally wasn’t very close to his family, but he was able to sympathize with the boy’s solitude.  He was able to catch a glimpse of guilt as it briefly passed over Haruto’s expression, but he decided against an inquiry. 

“So I guess you’re by yourself pretty often then, huh?” He said, giving the kid a kind and understanding look, “But it’s really cool how your family is so involved in the betterment of the city! You must feel rather proud of them!”

OOC

Sorry for the long wait for the replies. I haven't forgot, but I'm easily distracted (I'm stupid, I know, shhh).

If I lost a reply, please, let me know it, and I will do it.

"And... Do you think the tower will be done soon?" Haruto simply asked, now gazing the sky. His legs stopped and his face showed a serious, but still curious, expression.

That place gave to the child bad and frightful memories. His life in the tower was something he would never wish for another person. However, he had hope that, when rebuilt, the tower could bring prosperity for Heartland.

Haruto returned to smile to Kaito. “No problem, big brother!” Taking a more relaxed posture, he stretched his legs and stayed looking to his feet swinging for a while. The child didn’t have a lot to talk about his day, he just spend the afternoon playing or watching his father. Maybe when he finally enters in school, his routine will be better. Now he have to wait.

“So, big brother, do you have something cool to day?” The younger asked, now looking to Kaito with the same smile.

[bluecarameldreams-blog]

Seeing Thomas laughing, Haruto chuckled too. He didn't even know the motive of the laugh, but it was contagious. 

"Yeah right!" The boy nodded, giggling, and added. "My brother and my dad always say to not eat too much sweets because I can get cavities, and eat only sweets is bad for health. But I can't understand how... I mean, sweets make people happy, right? Then how is bad?" He was clearly confused, after all, he was a kid. There was things in life he couldn't completely understand.

Once they are in the shoppe, Haruto looked to all the options, admired by the colors and the amount. If he could eat all, he would do it.

"I want a cone, Thomas! And what will you pick?"

Before take Thomas’s hand, Haruto softly kicked the ball to near his home. They would be right back, right? Then it was not necessary to put it inside the house.

“Hmmmm…” The child thought for a moment, looking around while walking with him.  It was a long time since the last time he ate ice cream, he just could remember that it was cold and sweet, and a few tastes he experimented during his childhood. In the end, he just said a flavor he was surely he would like.

“I think it’s chocolate too! I really like chocolate!”

Even not remembering about ice creams, Haruto could recall the hot chocolate Kaito always did for him, and he loved it, but not only because it was chocolate. It was something made by the hands of his dear sibling.

The younger looked again to Thomas. There was something on him that made Haruto feel like if the man was his brother too. And he was happy to feel that.

[bluecarameldreams-blog]

"Yeah, they are very busy. But I don't mind." 

The younger looked to Rei sitting on the ground and blinked twice. It was nothing special, but it was kinda funny that he was "taller" than the red-haired now. But the child decided to sit there too, and proceeded.

"My brother is helping with the security of the city, and my dad is working on the reconstruction of the tower. I'm not sure about this, but I think he wants to make a new laboratory for his researches."

Haruto was happy that his family was aiding the city, but he wished he could help too. His brother and father caused problems because of him and his illness, then he still felt guilty for all that. However, that was something he didn't want to enter in details now.

Rei followed Haruto’s finger to glance at the house. 

“Oh, I see,” He said with a nod, returning his eyes to Haruto, ” It sounds like you’ve got a pretty busy family.”

He completely lowered himself to the ground, sitting cross-legged across from the blue-haired child, figuring that he may as well take some time to get to know the kid. In his current situation, Rei was willing to try and befriend anyone. Age was irrelevant. 

“So what kind of work do your dad and brother do?”

[bluecarameldreams-blog]

"Really? Really really!?" Haruto opened again his childish smile. He was right, Ryoga was a nice guy.

The boy had many questions to the teen, and he was sure that an answer of him will bring a new question. But he didn't need to think about the first thing he would ask. 

"Then Ryoga... How did you meet my brother?"

With a sweet smile, the child extended his hand to the purple one.

“It’s really nice to meet you, Ryoga! I hope we can see each other often, I mean, only if you want it too.”

That smile let Ryoga with a soft look and a better impression, as Haruto expected him to be. He wanted to know a lot of things about the teen, like how he met his brother, or Yuma, or how it was his wound in the abdomen or even a simple ‘what brings you here?’. But he still wasn’t sure if Ryoga was open to talk.

Magic!Anon: You are as tall as your brother! This will not affect current RPs.

"W-What?"

It was the last thing Haruto said before the magic did it's effect. Things looked smaller for him, and he was distant from the floor. Besides that, he was still feeling normal.

Looking to his own reflection in the window, he noticed how tall he was.

"E...Eh... I wonder what my brother will say about that..."

[bluecarameldreams-blog]

Haruto's mouth opened in surprise. She really has an older brother too! That was... amazing! Suddenly, he started to laugh. It was very odd and funny how much they are alike. What is the next thing they have in common?

The laugh didn't last long, and soon he was thoughtful again, looking up and with his finger softly tapping his chin. "But... Ryoga? Hmmmmm... I think I heard this name before..." Haruto tried to search in his recent memories someone called Ryoga, looking at the girl. Maybe if would be easier search by their resemblance, since they are siblings. "I think I know him... It's a boy with purple hair, right?"

Haruto smiled gently for Rio again. "And thank you, Rio. I hope I can remember everything too! I'm slowly remembering about my past, but it's still too slow..." Yes, he had a lot of fun during that days. The child just wished to live that life again, like the old times.

“Hm, you have an older brother? I think I’ve heard about him.” The two of them had to be related, if not it would be a weird coincidence. “Actually I do have an older brother! His name is Ryoga, maybe you’ve heard of him?” She didn’t go too much into detail about how they were really twins. It was odd how much the two had in common even the fact that they had an older brother.

The change in expression made her feel like she had asked the wrong thing but was quickly remedied with the smile she received. Nothing in common between the two there. If anything she knows more than she wants to about her past. “It sounds like you had a lot of fun back then. I hope you remember more good things about your past.”

Before take Thomas's hand, Haruto softly kicked the ball to near his home. They would be right back, right? Then it was not necessary to put it inside the house.

"Hmmmm..." The child thought for a moment, looking around while walking with him.  It was a long time since the last time he ate ice cream, he just could remember that it was cold and sweet, and a few tastes he experimented during his childhood.

Even not remembering about ice creams, Haruto could recall the hot chocolate Kaito always did for him, and he loved it, but not only because it was chocolate. It was something made by the hands of his dear sibling.

The younger looked again to Thomas. There was something on him that made Haruto feel like if the man was his brother too. And he was happy to feel that.

IV rose to his full height and offered his hand out to Haruto. Though he knew the risk there was something so warm in seeing the boy smile this way. He wanted that to last. He wanted… to know that Haruto was okay. Even they only met again this once at least he knew the boy was well.

“Ice cream it is, then. What’s your favourite kind?” he asked while beginning to walk with him. 

For all the terrible things that had happened, IV felt a sense of calm and ease in being with Haurto like this. There was no pressing weight on his shoulders to cause harm or forge a false bond. There was no mask here, only IV - no… Only Thomas.  “Personally I like chocolate with strawberry.” 

[bluecarameldreams-blog]

Haruto chuckled too with that comment. He really thought it was fun wear, or just see other peoples wearing matching uniforms. But soon, a grin appeared in his face when his question was answered.

"He is your older brother? That means you are one of us, the younger brother!?" He asked, excited.

Then Chris, the best friend of his brother, has siblings too. Haruto was very happy to meet one of them, especially being a younger one. Maybe they could be friends like the elders.

Haruto’s eyes widened when he heard his name.

“Do you know me, sir??”

The child was even more confused. He was still sure that never saw that man before, but the other just said his name as if he knew the younger.

Then, the kid remembered what aroused his curiosity about the man. Maybe that was a good time to ask him, because it could be the reason why he knew the little’s name.

“Ahn… your outfit… is an uniform? Because I know someone with the same kind, but with different color and…”

Haruto stopped. He was looking like a foolish boy asking that, and restarted.

“I mean, do you know someone called Chris? I’m just curious…”

[bluecarameldreams-blog]

"It's nice to meet you too, Rei!" Haruto keep his smile to the red-haired. He really seemed to be a nice person, and that made the kid feels happy too.

When Rei made the question, the younger's expression was normal, since it was kinda common in his new life. "My brother is working around the city, and my father is working there." He pointed to his house, right next to them. "I don't want to disturb dad, so I come outside to play."

Haruto looked curious to the other boy, but it couldn’t help but grin back at that warm smile. The child could feel in him a captivating personality, and he admired it.

“Hey! I’m Haruto Tenjo! And you, mister!?” He asked, trying to spread the same warm aura the red-haired has.

[bluecarameldreams-blog]

His eyes followed hers, looking to the people in the same coaster, then he glanced her, chuckling.

"Yeah, you're right!" He looked again to the trail, almost in the end of the climb. "I wished my brother was here, with us..."

"Like flying?" Galaxy looked at the track in front of them. "Probably not." She turned around to see all the people behind them, then looking at all the people on front of them. "...But it will be more fun. After all, the more, the merrier?"

[bluecarameldreams-blog]

Haruto didn't even know that was possible, but since the hero has no idea too, he decided not to ask again.

"Yes yes, I'm feeling better now, thanks to you and everybody who helped!" He smiled, thankfully, but soon his expression became more curious.

"By the way... If you have their memories, can you tell me if they are fine? It's been awhile since the last time I saw them."

Haruto have a bit difficult to look at the shining one right there, but when his eyes got used with the light, he recognized the one.

“Y-Yuma? And… Astral? What happened? Why you both are… like that now?”
