Amani sighed, his head falling back against the back of the chair. "Yes, my name is Siiya. That's why everyone yells it when they see me, whether they're coming or going. It's a horribly lame joke that some mentally challenged, monkey-browed highschool jock came up with, and his mentally handicapped friends continued on with the tradition until the entire school knew to call me that," he said bitterly. It was clear now that even though he smiled and pretended it was just nothing in public, that the stupid joke about his last name bothered him.
"They were calling me that before they were calling you that," Zaitsu said, sitting up fully and swiping Amani's box of shrimp fried rice, along with his chopsticks. "It was probably a relative that told the guy in your class about the joke."
"Probably. Uncreative idiots," Amani muttered, leaning forward and snatching his box of food back as Zaitsu ate one of the shrimp. "Give that back."
"Nope. I didn't get lunch today because a certain little red head ran off to be with his friends," he muttered in mock-frustration, snatching back the box of food and scarfing down another few shrimp.
"Hey, you told me to go ahead and leave. Thought you were going to take a nap." He grabbed his food back along with his chopsticks.
"I was. Then I got called in for an emergency surgery, then suddenly I was sent home with a few days off. They really need to figure things out around there. Things have been hectic." He turned to look at Amani, pouting as he stared at the food. "But I like shrimp..." he whimpered.
Cindy couldn't help but giggle while watching the exchange between brothers. She was always thrilled to see them together, and loved it when they squabbled so freely. Not only did she find it extremely amusing, she found it oddly attractive as well.
