1:02am
The coast was clear.
Nigaito searched through the freezer, standing tip-toed on a stool. He was so short, and everyone else in the family was so tall... Nigaito needed a step-stool for almost everything. Nigaito pushed past the frozen dinners that his brothers would make when they were lazy, and found what he was looking for.
Nigaito didn't quite understand why Kaito loved icecream so much. It didn't make sense to him. It was problem the same situation for Kaito, however, wondering why Nigaito had a heavy addiction to green tea. Nigaito needed more fingers to list off all the reasons why tea was heavenly, but he couldn't think of any for icecream. However, that was probably because he had never tried much before. Nigaito grabbed a pail from the very back of the fridge, Kaito's favorite kind. He pulled it out, trying to be as quiet as possible. He closed the freezer, then stepped down the stool. He grabbed a spoon, then popped the lid open. He stared at the frozen substance inside, then poked at it with his spoon. Ontop of the lid had a little sticker that said 'DO NOT TOUCH. -KAITO.' on it. Nigaito couldn't help but feel himself struck with guilt. Kaito was probably the only one in the family that was actually nice to Nigaito, and yet here he was, about to eat Kaito's most favorite thing in the world. Nigaito pursed his lips, then shrugged. What he didn't know wouldn't kill him!
Nigaito grabbed a spoonful of the creamy substance, then slipped it into his mouth. He played with it on his tongue before he swallowed, shivering lightly from the cold sensation. He wasn't used to cold things, tea was hot, afterall! The icecream was enjoyable, so Nigaito grabbed another spoonful. He hummed happily around the spoon as he continued to eat. There was plenty left, so Kaito wouldn't suspect a thing...

1:04am
Kaito was about halfway sure that there wasn't anyone awake. He'd thought he'd heard something before, and to be safe, laid low, but now that the noise - whatever it may have been - was silent, he knew it was time to move. As stealthily as possible for the somewhat clumsy vocaloid, he peeled the covers of his bed from his form, slowly but surely inching his way out. An odd creak sounded when he stepped on the floor, and the male froze, his heart thumping loudly.
"It's a good thing Taito-niisan isn't up.." He muttered, composing himself, before standing up fully, "Otherwise, he'd get really mad at me." Just thinking about his older, slightly insane older brother was enough to send shivers down his spine. He quietly made his way out of his room, walking down the hallway towards the stairs with caution. He could always use an excuse if he had to. It took but a few moments to get down the stairs, but soon enough, he was heading down the hallway into the kitchen, practically salivating at the thought of his icecream. It was damn near heavenly, and he could almost taste it.
Upon getting closer, he noted a faint glow, and stiffened. Was somebody already there? He quickly pressed himself against one of the walls, his breathing already becoming erratic with anxiety. Who could it be?
Kaito took a nervous step forward, and mentally cursed as he heard the rather loud creak from the floorboards.
A ninja, he was not.

Nigaito was nearly shoveling his face with the delicious, creamy substance when he heard a loud creak. He squeaked, stumbling backwards and falling onto his behind. It was too dark, he couldn't see who it was. He stood back up quickly, then in a vain attempt, sat back up on the counter to try and hide the huge mess of icecream that was there. Nigaito was quite a messy eater, and it was evident as the creamy treat was smeared all over the counter. "H-He...Hello?" Nigaito whispered, blinking slowly. He was scared of who it could be, Kikaito? Akaito? Or even worse... Kaito.

Kaito's ears caught the rather high-pitched voice, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It was only Nigaito - the one brother of his he didn't actually worry about. He walked calmly to the kitchen, looking actually quite cheerful, a hand in the air, signalling a wave.
"Ahh~ Nigaito~! I was worried there, I thought that someone else was in here. It's a good thing it's you though, 'cause I know you'd never do anything to spite.. me.." His happy tone trailed off slightly as a few things registered in his mind.
One, that Nigaito looked somewhat, rather, very suspicious. And guilty.
Two, that the freezer was hanging open.
And finally, that there were smears scattered about the counter that seemed very, very similar to ice cream.
He blanked out for a moment, blinking, practically frozen in place, before speaking in a scarily calm voice.
".. .... What were you doing just now..?"

Nigaito seemed somewhat relieved as Kaito happily skipped out of the shadows, but he watched that expression fade with his own terrified one. Nigaito looked around slyly, wondering if there was anyway he could pull a fib and find his way out of it. Most likely not, the evidence was obvious. He had smears of strawberry icecream along his face, which he quickly wiped off with the sleeve of his night gown. Nigaito pathetically got up, shutting the freezer door. "N-Not-Nothing, of course! W-What makes you think I was doing something, Kaito-nii?" He tried to sound innocent, but his voice was almost the very opposite. He noticed that the bucket of icecream was still sitting in the middle of the counter, and he shuffled back over to it, trying to hide it again. "W-Wh-Why are y-you up so late?" He asked, trying to change the subject.

His face was completely blank, his tone as he spoke practically emotionless.
"I was coming for a snack." He replied slowly, taking a slight step forward. As much as he adored his younger, smaller brother, there were some things that couldn't be forgiven, and if what he thought was going on, actually was true, the green-haired boy was in for a world of hurt. Even so, he took a chance of doubt, and took a stop forward.
"Say, Nigaito-kun, what are you doing up? You'll get nightmares if you go to sleep too late."

At this point, Nigaito was shaking in fear. Even though Kaito was practically harmless, he didn't want to figure out if that would change when it came to icecream. He let his green hair fall in his eyes, trying to hide his guilty expression. He slowly slipped the tub up the back of his nightgown, gasping as the cold bucket touched his bare back. He shuddered, shivering harder. "O-Oh! ...I...I was .... I was sleep walking... yeah! Then I somehow ended up downhere and opened the freezer... s-strange, huh?" He giggled awkwardly, forcing it through his teeth. He let out a soft whimper, his back numb now. Just as long as Kaito wouldn't find out...

"Oh. Is that all?" Even if Kaito was still suspicious, he decided to forget it. After all, Nigaito wouldn't lie to him, he was pretty sure.
"I see. Did you eat anything weird at dinner?" He looked over to his brother, mildly concerned, his usual cheerful and happy demeanor back to full swing. He stepped forward again, shrugging his shoulders.
"I knew we shouldn't have let Taito-niisan cook tonight. I thought that meat seemed a little too raw." He paused, "And he didn't even let me have dessert!" A pout pursed his lips together, as he muttered out, "What kind of heartless, cruel person would do that?!"

Nigaito let out a gentle breath of relief when Kaito seemed to drop the subject and returned to his normally cheerful mood. Nigaito's cheeks were still lightly flushed in embarrasment, his body trembling from the cold icecream up his back. "N-No... I don't think so..." Nigaito frowned, shaking his head slowly. He nibbled his bottom lip as he listened to Kaito complain about Taito's cooking. "Yeah..."
Nigaito hopped off the counter, deciding he would make some tea. It had been a while since he had some, and decided that now would be a good time to make some. Just as he jumped down, the icecream pail came tumbling down from his nightgown, crashing on the floor and spilling the creamy contents everywhere. Nigaito shrieked, jumping back as the icecream got all over his feet as well. He blinked for a moment, then began to panic.
Oh no, oh no, oh no!! Kaito would figure it out now!

Kaito paused for a moment, fully registering what had just happened. He blinked, then looked towards his younger brother with a smile.
"Awww, you were saving it for me, right?" He sang, moving to stand close to his brother, looking concerned, "Wah! We don't want to waste it, Nigaito! Hurry, grab a spoon or bowl or something!" His voice grew frantic.
This was terrible! His icecream was all over the floor! It was a crime, he had to do something, or he'd never forgive himself!

Nigaito couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, his brother was an idiot. He hurried to grab spoons, before Kaito came to his senses and realized what had happened. But, seeming as there was a creamy mess all over the floor, Nigaito's feet slipped from underneath him. He squeaked as he landed on his behind on the tiled floor. He shook his head quickly, then grabbed some spoons. He gave one to Kaito, then sat on the floor. He wouldn't be surprised if Kaito decided to lick the icecream off the floor. He watched his brother curiously, wondering what he intended to do. "How can you eat this all, Kaito-nii?" He asked, blinking. He already felt full from the icecream he ate earlier, he couldn't imagine how Kaito could eat so much!

Kaito nodded, a determined look upon his face. Of course, he planned to eat it. Relatively, the Shion's household floor was clean. He hoped.
"Nigaito-kun." He said, "It is a skill to be able to eat ice cream as I do. The ice cream gods have entrusted this ability to me for a reason." He held the spoon with a purpose, before rapidly beginning to spoon up the ice cream at a seemingly inhuman pace. It was amazing, actually. He got the big chunks first, zipping them into his open mouth. He looked rather like a madman, to be honest.
Soon, all that was left on the ground was a little bit of sticky residue. Kaito left the spoon in his mouth, looking quite pleased with himself. Whatever kind of skill he had, if that's what you called it, he was damn good at it.

Nigaito stared at Kaito as he practically vaccumed the icecream right off the floor. He just held his own spoon in his hand, letting Kaito devour it all. Nigaito was full anyway. "W-Wow!" He stammered, his eyes wide. "K-Kaito-nii, y-you'll get sick!" He frowned, tugging on his brother's pyjama shirt. "...l-like Akaito that one time!" Nigaito insisted, reminding Kaito of the time Akaito ate an entire bag of red peppers, then was hung over the toilet the entire night. "Then Taito got mad and threatened him... d-do you want that to happen to you?!" He pouted.
