Work Text:
Two girls are walking together down the street (or the rubble left from it), one of them is covered in blood and is carrying a little book about invertebrate biology and the other is eating candy
"Thanks for helping me pay for the book, Yosano"
"You want Yuri to go to college, right? This is just a small step towards that" Yosano puts another candy into her mouth "and besides we can all share the book and learn from it" She said extending her hand to give Yor a candy
Yor took the candy "Mmm you and Yuri can share it, I can"t read very well..." The girl said in a discouraged but loving tone
"Nonsense, Yuri and I will help you read it"
"Mmm, oh we"re here! Yor takes out the keys to open the door
"Nee-san! Yosano!" Young Briar went to hug his sister completely ignoring the blood stains on her
"Yuri look, me and Yosano brought you this book" Yor shows the newly bought book to her little brother
"No way! This is the best birthday of my life, Thank you Nee-san!! Thank you Yosano!!" Yuri"s eyes shone like stars, Yor couldn"t be happier
"Look Yuri I managed to get some strawberry sweets that you like, take them" Yosano said proud of herself for stealing the sweets from the store she works at
"Thank you Yosano!" Yuri says, eating one of the candies, wrapper and all.
After that, Yuri starts looking at the new book that was given to him, while Yor washes the dried blood off her clothes and herself and Yosano makes something to eat.
They eat and basically it"s Yor and Yuri listening to Yosano complain about the customers she served that day at the candy store and then they wash the dishes together.
"Yosano, Nee-san, let"s read the biology book together." Yuri says, grabbing the sleeves of both girls" shirts.
"Oh Yuri, you and Yosano could read the book and I, mmm..." Yor says nervously.
"Nonsense, you"ll read the book with us, we"re not going to make fun of you for anything, okay?" Yosano says now also grabbing the other sleeve of Yor"s shirt
"Yes Nee-san, me and Yosano will help you read" Yuri says excitedly
"I mmm... Fine" Yor says letting himself be dragged by the other two kids
And they all settle down on the younger Briar"s bed to read the book, Yosano and Yor next to each other and Yuri between her sister"s legs
"Look Nee-san, it says here that invetebrates are divided into different types, there are the Anthropoda, the Mollusks, the Annelids, the Echi...mmm Echi-"
"Echinoderms, the Poriferans, the Platyhelminthes and the Cnidarians" Yosano finishes reading for him
"Oh how interesting" Yor is happy to hear Yosano and Yuri teach her new things, even when she doesn"t understand anything about the subject
"Nee-san do you think we could eat octopus someday??" Yuri says excitedly after reading that octopuses are invertebrates, he heard on the radio about a restaurant that sold octopus
"I don"t think we have money to eat that Yuri, settle for what your older sister gives you!" Yosano tells him grabbing his cheek
"Ouch! Leave me alone!" Yuri yells trying to get her hand off his cheek
And Yor loves this moment, seeing her two favorite people together, here with her, teaching her new things, this is all it takes to live happily
And they spend the rest of the afternoon reading the book that they just gave Yuri, ignoring the war that is right in front of them
