Walking inside the crowed ice salon the little twin boys walk towards the counter to make their order.
Zero knew his brothers taste pretty well, but that wasn't so strange, they were brothers after all.
As for Zero himself, he always had trouble choosing which flavor he wanted to try next, whenever they made this trip to the ice salon, in summer time.
Watching the large poster in front of them with curious eyes Zero decides on the flavor strawberry and banana and focused his attention back on his younger brother who was talking to the lady behind the counter all ready, never having any doubts of what to chose, his flavor was always easily made
The young lady helping them was wearing a friendly expression upon her face while waiting patiently for them to make their choice before asking for it. she was wearing her long blonde hair into two pigtails and smiles sweetly at the younger twin who in turn blushes a little when he catches her eyes on him.
''did you both made your choice?'' she asks softly and smiles even more when he nods his head meekly. making her think what a very adorable boy he was which such an unusual hair color he and his twin brother both had.
''Yes please'' he says his eyes gazed down at the ground as he talks and makes his choice.
''vanilla and peace please'' she nods her head and not before long Ichiru was happily licking his ice cream and waits patiently for Zero to get one of his own.
When Zero had his own ice cream and had paid for them both he turns back to his younger brothers side and with his free hand clasping that of his brothers guiding him out of the salon again, unaware of the awws and ''how cute'' of the lady behind the counter only having attention for each other and their ice cream to give the lady any more thought.
''Happy now Ichiru?'' Zero asks his brother with a sweet smile on his lips. as they make their way back to their house again. walking slowly to not get their ice cream to fall down on the ground.
the younger one of the twins happily nods his head before he starts to enjoy more of his sweet and cold treat inside his hand.
Seeing the happy smile on his brothers lips is enough for Zero to be all relaxed again knowing he had made him happy with just this simple treat of kindness.
Ichiru turns his head to watch his brother to give his hand a little squeeze to letting him know he really appreciated the love and care his brother always showed him day after day again.
''Żou know what would be even better if you and mom cook together again Zero
I know you love to help mom with cooking whenever you get the chance and i really like it if Zero cooks again because it always tastes better if you have helped mom. what do you think Zero?''
Zero thought about it for a bit and decided it wasnt that bad idea since their mother would be alone when they returned she was having a day off from the hunter association and only their father and master were out to kill some bad vampires. before their return he would ask if he could help his mother with cooking just to get Ichiru to be even more happier then he allready was and knew mother would not mind either always enjoying to teach him more of her cooking skills to her eldest son.
''Sure why not Ichiru i think mother will have it very busy with master coming to have dinner with us tonight you remember that right?'' Ichiru thinks about it for a bit and nods his head but his expression on his face was a little bit less happy when doing so and Zero knew the reason of that very well
their master did not thought Ichiru to make it into becoming a great hunter like he knew Zero would.
telling him even thought trying to be subtle about it when choosing words how to explain it to the younger and weaker one of the kiryu twins but Ichiru wasnt stupid and knew he was only trying to be kind to him having pity on the younger boy.
Zero stops walking then when they almost have approached their home
''Ichiru please listen to me ok?'' I know Master is being harsh on you a lot of times doesnt mean you are less good as i am when it comes to training you just need a little bit more time thats all trust my words when you get older you will maybe even surpass me
