So, then, they were roommates for awhile, and now they could not be roommates anymore. Made sense! She could completely relate, even.
"Ohhhh," Akizets trailed off and thought for a second, "Yeah, umm, it's really tough to be roommates like that! I remember when my dad was doing all this stuff to Reru's room and he had to stay with me for a week. It was super lousy. He never left me alone! He just kept botherin' and botherin' . . ."
Which really wasn't any different from now, as far as she was concerned. Sure, Oboreru grew up fast, but he never really stopped clinging to her. All the time, too! It was like she was taking their mom's place or something! Which was horrible, because their mom might've been a lousy cook, but Akizetsumei was even worse.
"Aaaaand then they had to push it back by a couple weeks I think," Akizets continued, "So Reru just kept living with me. He was gonna drive me crazy, so I stole Tou's room this one day, and maaaaaan, he complained sooo much. It was just-- it was constant! He just kept on grumping and whining and grumping, but what'd he know? He didn't have to stay with Reru for weeks. He grumped all day, and dad still made him sleep on the couch that night."
Akizets concluded that with a hand on her hip and a dignified look of victory. She didn't get her way around Toushikyo too often, after all.
