At three, Ruri decides she likes Shuu-chan when he shares all his toys with her.

Shuu-chan has the best toys ever. He has the building bricks, which Ruri likes creating big castles and tall towers and small towns with. He has a collection of toy cars, which they roll across the floor and make noises akin to a car engine. He has a tricycle, which they take turns to ride whenever Shuu-chan's mother brought them to the nearby park. The best of all his toys would be the big yellow ball, where they will spend hours kicking, throwing and bouncing to each other.

All his toys are so much better than the limp dolls and pink bunnies she has at home.

At three, Ruri decides she hates Shuu-chan too.

She hates him for that one time he threw at wooden cube at her leg and gave her a boo-boo. She hates him when he takes all the cool-looking cars and leaves her with all the ugly lorries and vans. She hates him for the times he doesn't get off the tricycle when Oba-san insists it is her turn to ride it. She hates him the most when he doesn't throw the big yellow ball where she tells him to. Papa is a much better catch player than him.

At three, Ruri decides she likes Shuu-chan more than she hates him, because if there's no Shuu-chan, where would she get to play all those wonderful toys that he has?

A/N: Hey there! I've only muster just a bit of courage to write my first proper multi-chapter fic. Since I don't have a talent at conjuring good plots in a short time, I made sure to write some chapters first before I actually publish something, so here's the first chapter, and hopefully the next soon. Don't mind the short length in this first chapter. Age plays a bit of a factor in this story. Please review, and cheers to you for it!
