Brother Knows Her The best!

"Ha! Y-yeah that's revenge…" Ethan said, attempting to catch his breath. His forehead was dripping sweat. He bent down and placed his hands on his knees with his head facing the ground. He panted waiting for the moment until he could breathe steadily again. On the other hand Genesis did not seem as affected. She was not as tired and was not sweating as much as her brother.

She took out the water bottles from the backpack and threw one at Ethan. He caught it with both his hands and immediately started gulping it down. Genesis chuckled and drank some of her water. Her cheeks were flushed red from all the running but she was not acting like Ethan. She felt he was being a bit overdramatic.

" Come on little bro you'll be able to be as great as me one day." She teased with a proud expression on her face. Ethan scoffed and sat down on the bench in front of them. " You didn't have to do that!" He complained unhappily.

Indeed she had been a bit mean. When they started racing she made it look like she was using her full speed and later on she made herself look tired. Ethan got too cocky and used all his strength to leave her behind only to be outrun by Genesis, once his energy was drained.

" In my defense I have always been the fastest," Genesis told him and sat down next to him on the bench. They were already in the Central part of S City. There were people running too and others walking their pets. The air was fresh and there were several sounds of laughter coming from the children's area. Many kids were playing on the swings and slides.

Although S City is most known for being the heart of Country H it's weather is not to be ignored either. S City's weather is the craziest and people get sick the most during the summertime because of the weather changes. For example, now the weather is still a bit cold because it's only the start of summer. This is why people would wear sweaters and light clothes during this time. Some coats too on the coldest days but not heavy coats either.

Genesis took in the fresh air with a peaceful smile, her shoulders laid back, and her face relaxed.

"Not by much…" Ethan mumbled. Genesis gave him a look of disdain knowing that's a lie. Although he works out and plays sports he isn't much of a runner. "Hey! It's the truth." He defended himself and shrugged. Genesis nodded with a sly smile on her lips. " Whatever, I have and will always be the smartest anyway." She said proudly.

"...." Ethan didn't dare to deny it. It simply is a fact. "See how you were tricked so easily. Awww how tragic!" She mocked him playfully. Ethan rolled his eyes. Just then he noticed something from far and he smirked.

"Fine but you will forever be the most childish!" He claimed to which Genesis frowned in response. Her defenses were up. "What do you mean? That's not true!" She refused to accept it. " Heh, not around others but you are," Ethan said with a small smug smile. He picked up his water and drank the last bit left.

"Prove it!" Genesis crossed her arms. "Do you hear that?" Ethan asked? Genesis' ears perked up. " Isn't that-" She looked around and her eyes captured the ice cream car not far from them.

"Come on Ethan let's go or the line will get bigger. Those kids will be stealing my ice cream!" She urged him while pushing him up by his arm. Ethan laughed and complied. Once they started walking Ethan faked an amazed gasp.

"See I knew it! Still so childish…" He muttered. Genesis froze in place momentarily but kept walking, while biting her lower lip. "Brother you might not be the brightest but you do know me the best!" She half-complimented him. Ethan frowned seeing she wasn't at all affected by him calling her childish.

" I do?" He was almost lost. Seeing him like that Genesis nodded innocently. Genesis quickly gave the order for the ice cream man and turned her attention back to Ethan. " Of course and that's why I love you!" Genesis smiled and hugged him out of nowhere. Ethan smiled and patted her head. "Yes indeed I know my sister the best!" He agreed rapidly.

Sigh. How nice it feels to be recognized by my sister. He thought, completely satisfied.

"Mmm Yes you do! That's why you will pay for my ice cream!" Genesis told him with a bright smile and took the two ice cream cones from the man. She gave him a small thank you and walked away. She had one ice cream in her hand and the other she had already started licking.

Ethan was frozen. It wasn't until Genesis walked away that he regained his senses. " Tsk~ Can I have another cone please?" He asked the ice cream man and took out his wallet. The man nodded and not long after he handed him the ice cream cone. " I knew it was too good to be true…" He murmured.

" Anything else sir?" The Ice cream man asked. " No no that's it" Ethan paid for the ice cream and ran a little to catch up with Genesis. On the other hand, Genesis was happily devouring her second ice cream since the first one was already gone.

"Oh you brought me another one!" She cheered when she saw another ice cream, in Ethan's hands. She tried to get it but Ethan lifted it in the air. He is taller than her by a few inches which stopped her from reaching the ice cream. " Uh uh that's mine!" He barked at her. Genesis pouted and gave him a cute look. Ethan turned around refusing to give in. "Fine!" Genesis gave in, knowing two ice creams in a row would be enough for today, at least.

They both sat down on the bench and ate their ice cream in a peaceful silence. 'You took advantage of Mr. Moneymaker Gen, not bad not bad at all.' She thought, feeling proud.

She then laughed at her thoughts. She thought of taking money out of him since he always eats her food when he visits.

Her thoughts were interrupted by someone soon after though. " Sister Gen! Ethan! What a great coincidence that we meet again!"
