As the recently promoted Young Brother of the group, Kiya was in a position where he had to lead. So lead he does, with him and his gang of Little Siblings making their way through the latest meetup.
The Big Brother wanted to treat everyone in one of the subsidiaries' restaurants, for no reason other than that the syndicate had owed him a big favor. Whatever it was, Kiya figured helping them out wouldn't hurt.
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
Ah.
Though, there was just one problem.
He burned his hand badly while cooking. The pain of the burn is searing hot, but his augments manage to numb most of the damage. But its quick healing leaves a nasty scar, still.
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
...This isn't good. They might kill you for this, and the lack of food safety procedures.
??? Middle Subsidiary
N-No way...you're really gonna put everyone in that book for an accident?
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
I could let the former slide, but not the latter. Just because it's important that you keep everything clean.
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
...But I guess there's another problem at hand.
Kiya shakes his head. He could hide the accident. It wasn't a big deal to him, and it would worry Heathcliff if he knew.
Heathcliff Big Brother of the Middle
Yo! What's taking so long? You know I like my burgers extra, extra fried!
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
Give me a second.
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
...Okay, just keep your mouth shut and be calm when we send these out.
But as he serves the meals of his Little Siblings, the pain doesn't quite subside. While everyone digs in, he tries to focus on the happiness of others.
He winces at the awful ache, for a fleeting moment, and someone is quick to notice.
Heathcliff Big Brother of the Middle
Oi, Kiya. You're not looking so hot. Something up?
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
I'm alright. Don't worry.
Heathcliff Big Brother of the Middle
Come on, now. Did this guy mess with you?
The other chef lets out a noise, but Kiya quickly pushes them aside.
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
Nah, they didn't do anything. It's...
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
Haah...okay, fine. I burnt my hand pretty bad making these.
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
But it's fine—
Heathcliff Big Brother of the Middle
Hey now! You hurt yourself cause of us?!
Little Brother The Middle
Oh! Oh, dear. We're so sorry, Young Brother...
Heathcliff Big Brother of the Middle
That's some dedication, Kiya. You deserve two more stars just for that...
Kiya blinks. He's not sure how to feel about being rewarded for something he chose to do.
Heathcliff dramatically stands up, pointing towards where the kitchen is. Immediately, the little siblings are quick to stand with him.
Heathcliff Big Brother of the Middle
Y'all know what to do, yeah? Was it the pans? The grills?
Little Brother The Middle
Yeah, was it? Was it?
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
.......
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
The deep fryer.
Heathcliff Big Brother of the Middle
Get 'em, boys!
The siblings take off, storming the kitchen with great might.
Before Kiya can even register anything, Heathcliff pats him on the back.
The look on his eyes shows something more than fondness and protection, but Kiya isn't sure why, or if he's seeing things.
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
I hope this isn't an inconvenience for you guys.
Heathcliff Big Brother of the Middle
Pah! As if. You're mine to keep, and theirs to follow.
Heathcliff Big Brother of the Middle
Sometimes you gotta really teach people a lesson.
In the short distance, he can hear it. The sounds of the Little Brothers stomping and bashing the fryer that caused this aching pain.
It was frankly ridiculous.
Kiya Young Brother of the Middle
...Yeah. You're right.
...But he knows better than to argue.
