Notes: Something to celebrate my friend's return. I have never thought that I would hear from her ever again. Welcome back, Sky! 😁😁 There is a little gift for you. Since you said you like Dohko and Shion, I hope you'll enjoy reading this! Sorry if it's so random LOL

Anyway, as I have said before, this fic is going to contain a bunch of drabbles that may or may not be connected to one another. Hence, I changed the title 😅

Enjoy please! And be aware of total randomness and OOC-ness 😆😓

Summary: The first time Dohko noticed Shion has gotten taller than him, he wasn't really happy...

The two was locked in a staring contest for the longest time. One regarded the other with calm, contemplative look, while his companion simply stared at the taller male while munching noisily on his dumpling.

The stalemate went on until it was finally broken by the Aries who had enough of the brunet's staring, "Dohko."

"Hm?"

"How long are you going to eat that?" He gestured at the half-eaten bun on the brunet's hand. To be honest he didn't know what's wrong with Dohko. Upon arriving at the Aries temple, the Libra has taken a long look at him and frowned deeply. He didn't say anything after that and simply staring while eating his buns. It was a bit disconcerting, to say the least. So the blond has stayed in silence and watched how Dohko went through a seemingly endless supply of buns without any sign of stopping.

The brunet, upon hearing his question, looked momentarily at his buns before glancing back at his fellow saint, "Well, I'm hungry. And it gets pretty tiring having to look up at you all the time."

The answer made Shion pause, slowly realizing the reason for the Libra's weird antics. He actually didn't expect Dohko to be reacting so strongly to the...change. Surely, he didn't look any different than he usually was? "...Are you angry?"

"Me? Of course not! How do you get such idea?"

"You've been staring at me non-stop since this morning." The Aries pointed out, sighing. "And you've been chewing quite loudly while staring at me all this time. Does my new height really bother you that much?" He looked down at his friend, noticing that he was now almost a head taller than the other.

Dohko chuckled, continuing to eat his dumpling without pause. "You're funny, Shion. Why do I have to be bothered by you looking like a giant in a fortnight?!"

Shion sighed, the brunet was angry all right. They both have been quite competitive with each other. Being close at age and having spend most of their life together, the two of them have always been stubborn and refused to be defeated by the other. However he didn't think Dohko would be this sensitive about something as trivial as height. Surely, he could still grow in his current age?

While the blond was busy mulling over the matter, the Libra saint took out another sweet smelling dumpling and started munching at it noisily.

Shion frowned. Dohko must have known that he greatly disliked it when people made lots of noise while eating, and now he was doing it on purpose. "How many dumplings you have in that bag again? I don't think it's big enough to contain all the dumplings you have eaten."

Dohko, not bothering to answer, just shrugged and stared at the (much) taller male with the same, silent look he had worn since this morning.

Shion meanwhile was beginning to feel a bit annoyed at the other's attitude, "Don't you get tired of eating those dumplings?" Because I am getting sick watching you eat them.

"Hmm…" munch, munch, "nope."

"Dohko…" the Aries called out, sounding almost exasperated, "Can you please stop eating and telling me what you are here for? I am sure that we both have something to do today. Tenma may also be looking for you for training."

The Chinese saint throw the last of his dumpling into his mouth and chewed far too slowly before answering. "I was going to give you some of the dumplings I made this morning. But it seems that you won't need it anymore. You already have enough nutrients as it is. Wouldn't want you to tower over the rest of our seniors, would we?"

"I don't—" the now taller youth stopped himself, not wanting the Pope to reprimand him yet again for having a Thousand Days War to resolve each of his little argument with the Libra. It would be pretty embarrassing to explain that they were fighting because of something as trivial as height difference. But still… "You know, if you actually stop eating all those dumplings maybe you will get taller rather than rounder."

Dohko narrowed his eyes, "Did you say something, Shion?"

"Not really. Just commenting that you need to watch your figure if you keep eating the dumplings every day."

"Wh—"
