お帰りなさい、弟くん
Baby Brother's home!!!
After waiting for quite some time at the uneventful O'Hare airport, I FINALLY got to see my brother after nearly 9 months of separation. Okay, so I didn't tackle him like I promised, but I was the first person to hug him. ^____^ And he let me, though it would have done him no good to struggle anyway.
But he was really hyped up after arriving home, probably getting his second wind despite not having slept at all, so we talked a lot. We spent some sweet sibling time together reminiscing over anime and manga and the like. Took me a few minutes to remember that our humor is so similar and that we don't have to always say what we're thinking because the other person immediately understands.
I missed having my brother around. Not in a 'oh my God it's so painful I want to die' kind of way. More like a wistful, 'I'll bet he'd enjoy being here for this'. Funny enough, now that he's unpacked and home again, it really doesn't feel like he left.
But it's really cool listening to him speak Japanese. ^___^
