Kiku's jaw dropped when his teammate revealed that they had met before. Have they? His face did look a little familiar, but it didn't ring any bells right away. Well, it wasn't like they were complete strangers, but Kiku didn't think they had ever interacted outside of the classroom. Maybe they did and he didn't remember? It wouldn't be the first or last time that someone had revealed that they had met before; he supposed this was a (repetitive) heads up from life telling him that he needed to be more attentive to the people around him.

And then it turns out they were a little more than just acquaintances--they were brothers! Well, brother-in-laws? Stepbrothers? Either way, Kiku heard the word 'brother' and perked up immediately. He had been surrounded by women (and his father) his whole life, and he was getting a brother his age? It seemed too good to be true, honestly. He'd be lying if he said he didn't like the idea. 

[color=khaki]"I...probably should have known that,"[/color] Kiku admitted sheepishly, lowering his gaze for a second before bringing himself back up. [color=khaki]"Sorry! Guess I should pay better attention!"[/color] He laughed, mostly at himself.

As to what to do now that they were brothers, there really was one thing to do. [color=khaki]"We'll have the upper hand over the other squads since our bond is going to be tighter than theirs!"[/color] He was pumped as he spoke. [color=khaki]"You'll see, Ria's already warming up to you, so we're getting a head-start the other teams wish they had."[/color] Better that they had that than rivalries.
