The "Adopted" Sibling or Child Meme

They say blood is thicker than water. Family is everything. But what about the family you choose, the ones that aren't necessarily bound to you by shared blood? Sometimes, they can be closer than anyone you're just related to through chance. You chose them, after all!

This person in particular is someone you're closer to than almost anyone; it's more than friendship, it's darn near familiar. No, more than darn near, it is familial. They may be younger than you, maybe even by a considerable margin, but they may not be. They could just seem that way, in their innocence or vulnerability. You want to protect them more than anything, keep them close, and spend time with them so their life can be improved by whatever you can do.

Officially or unofficially, you've adopted them as your own. Your family, with you as an older sibling or parent figure. This could make things better for them...or worse.

❤ Comment with your character info and the ilk. Be sure to include whether or not your character is more likely to be the adopter or the adoptee. Or both, I don't mind. No judgement here.
❤ Reply to others.
❤ Cute familial fluff, even for the darkest of characters and canons. If Murder: The Anime can do it, so can you!

[once upon a time there was a little girl who was- hang on, this isn't a fairy tale. fairy tales have happy endings and Isuke's life didn't... well, it did. sort of. Eisuke Inukai and his husband are dead, victims of an enemy Eisuke had made on one of his assignments, and Isuke Inukai was left with no family yet again.

third time's the charm, right?

she still hadn't completely recovered from her earlier childhood trauma (and the trauma of watching her new parents get killed) when the Sagae family found her and took her in, but wounds always heal and scar over. she hated her new situation at first, surrounded by noise (too much noise, she hated noise) and filth. Isuke had been given her own room and belongings by her first savior; now she had to share things and live with all this... squabble.

but she learned to adjust. sort of. at least Isuke wasn't alone. at least she was accepted. loved.

having two trained assassins in the family wasn't so bad for their financial situation, either.]

Harukiiiii~ ♥

[good morning sis heeeere's Isuke looming over the bottom bed of the bunk bed they share.]

Did you take my hairbrush without asking? Again?

[there's a dangerous edge to her smile, but it's more playful than sharp. she leans over Haruki's sleeping form, yanking the covers off with one quick flourish. wake up!!!]

Mm, it's not time to get up yet...

[ She's used to sharing a house with a lot of family members, it's just the nature of their family situation, so having another member of the family adopted in isn't all that strange to her.

To be honest, she's glad Isuke's here.

Except not really, because Isuke just... woke her up...??!?! ]

H-Hey, it's cold, gimme it back... [ Sleepily, she tries to reach for the covers wherever they are. ] Your brush is where it was before, isn't it...?

If it was I wouldn't be asking you, would I? [honestly, it's probably just misplaced under a pile of clothes or something. their room isn't exactly the cleanest.] Hurry up, before Isuke gets mad...!

[she'd already tossed the covers to the floor whoops. ah, well. wake up wake up wake up she grips Haruki's face with one hand, smushing her cheeks between her fingers and thumb.]

Isn't Isuke already mad? No sense in saying it--mmph, again!

[ Haruki's cheeks are smushed together and she just?? she grabs a hold of Isuke's hands and then, with the strength that she can muster, decides to roll them over so that Isuke is on the bottom.

Her legs straddle her waist, and she smushes Isuke's cheeks in turn ]</small. So? If I find your brush the moment I start looking, will you make it up to me for waking me up?

[whoa unfair!! she makes a sound of protest when Haruki straddles her, squirming and pushing at her arms. sometimes it sucks not being stronger. wait no it sucks all the time.]

Yho're makhing it— [she wrenches her face away] worse! Fine! See if you can even find it when I couldn't!

[ Grinning smugly, Haruki climbs off of her and starts to wander around the room.

Isuke's probably checked all the obvious places, but has she checked the most obvious place? ]

Hold on.

[ And for a second Haruki's out of the room, but she comes back twirling a hairbrush in her hand. ]

Fuyuka took it. I reminded her to ask you before she can use it. Here, happy now? [ Anddd tossing it over now. ]

[huff. while Haruki goes searching, Isuke folds her arms behind her head and stares at the bottom of the top bunk. someday she'll buy her own bed... but then again, there isn't really any space for any more furniture in their room.

maybe an entirely new house instead, then. she catches the hairbrush in one hand without so much as a glance at Haruki.]

Ahhh, so it was that brat? Does Onee-sama need to teach her a lesson in stealing things? ♥

You can do that later. Fuyuka just left for grocery shopping anyway.

You need your hair brushed, right? [ With a hop and a step, Haruki plops herself down onto the bed behind her 'sister'. ]

Come on, don't be shy! I don't bite!

[ Come to your 'sister', Isuke~~~ ]

A good choice on your part, because Isuke would bite back. [she drawls, shifting to give Haruki better access to her ~gorgeous~ hair. even with their family situation Isuke still somehow manages to find the extra cash to buy luxury hair products for herself now and then. at least she shares...!]

If you aren't careful with my hair I'll kill you~

[Isuke shells out death threats like they're going out of fashion nbd]

Don't worry, I always am.

[ She starts brushing her hair, taking a handful of it to thread the brush through. Isuke's hair is incredibly soft and silky, clearly taken care of in the right way.

Well, it's no surprise. Isuke has been using high-quality (expensive) products a lot longer than Haruki has. ]

Ahh~ I'm so jealous of your hair, it's so nice. Do you think there's any salvation for mine? [ Haruki's is... Well. It's a mess. Let's not even go there ]

Maybe if you cut it all off. ♥

[it's a joke. a special Isuke-brand joke that sounds sincere and malevolent. she really does need to work on that whole patronizing thing she's usually got going on.]

Do you want Isuke to help you out?

[not with cutting it off, the other thing. actually helping.]

Cut it all off, huh... Can you picture me with short hair?

[ Just try to imagine it. Maybe it gets cut to shoulder length? A little above the shoulders? What if it was like, a bobcut or something like Suzu's?? ]

I'd like that. [ Haruki gives her hair another brush, then just. Pats Isuke's head. ]

Thanks, Isuke.

[Haruki would look cute with a shorter cut. not that Isuke actually says it out loud.]

Don't pat me like I'm a dog. It pisses me off!

[naw, not really.]

Hmm, should I pet you like a cat then? Here, kitty~kitty~kitty~

[ Okay, if patting her on the head doesn't work... she... scratches her behind the ears?? ]

Do you want me to bite your fingers off?

[a 100% serious question with 100% serious intent to do just that.]

Wouldn't even flinch.

[ This is a challenge if I've ever seen one ]

[well fine then!! she grabs Haruki's hand, bringing it to her face

and

... Isuke isn't biting. so much for that.]

Well? Aren't you going to beg Isuke not to do it?

[ #kanyeshrug ] Naaaaah.

Go ahead, do your worst! I insist.

[she bites down on the first joints of Haruki's fingers.

hard.

maybe not hard enough to actually break skin, but it'll still hurt and leave an impression.

that's what u get!!!]

Ah, cute!

[ Haruki's smiling, doesn't flinch at the bite. She can feel it, yeah, and Isuke's got quite the teeth, but...

Well, this is kind of a chance to play around with her, right?

She lets her index and middle finger wriggle a bit in her mouth, lets them rest against Isuke's tongue. ]

If you're gonna bite, you might as well lick it better too, right?

[what that. that it no stop that?? she makes an annoyed sound and promptly spits out Haruki's fingers, hastily wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.]

You're lucky Isuke was nice enough to bite softly!

I'm so grateful for your kindness, Isuke-sama! I don't know what I'd do without you~

[ Come here, Isuke. Haruki slings an arm around her shoulder, bringing her close against and just. Here. Nuzzling cheek to cheek. Oops, personal space what is that?? ]

What do you think you're doing-?!

[nooooo...!]

Let go!

[she'll headbutt. she's considering headbutting. is she gonna headbutt? stay tuned to find out!]

Issssssssssssssuke-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!

[ NOT LETTING GO. EVER. ]
