Lume's cheeks started getting rosy as he wiggled around thinking about having a nice bowl of warm porridge while being surrounded by his family's warmth.
Rei stood up and started walking towards the edge of the lake.
Rei: Sounds good, I'm missing my mom a lot too. It kind of hurts me when we play all the time because I know she's sick and her health isn't good right now. I know that there's nothing I can ever do in this life to make up for even a bit of what she has went through for me. But right now, the least I can do is spend some time with her.
Rei continued to walk to the edge of the lake but before he got out, he turned around and extended his hand towards Xeo.
Rei: Xeo, are you coming? Don't be too down, we have little fights all the time, this one was just a bit bigger. But no real harm was done right? So, let's go and fill our bellies as much as we want.
Xeo reached towards Rei's outstretched hand. However, under the water, Xeo's hands were balled into fists. But he unclenched them and reached for Rei's.
Xeo: You know what, you're right Rei........
Xeo joined his hand together with Rei's and Rei started pulling him up and out of the water.
Rei: That's a first, thanks Xeo!
Rei smiled and Xeo smiled back, however, Xeo's smile was a bit crooked.
Xeo: You're right Rei..... you're right..... about absolutely fucking nothing!!!
Xeo tightened his grip around Rei's hand and pulled him with all his strength.
Rei was caught off guard and fell back into the water.
Rei: What are you—brbrbrbrbr
Rei's head was getting dunked under the water by Xeo. Xeo's face was contorted in maniacal ecstasy.
