This was one of his siblings. His older brother - or half brother really, but that fact didn't matter to Riku. After all he already had one half brother in Hiro and his little brother having a different father had never mattered to Ryo and Riku, so why should Aaron having a different mother be something that mattered? It didn't at least in Riku's mind, even the fact that it was something he had only recently found out - it didn't matter as he glanced back at Aaron, waiting patiently even as he fidgeted after finally getting the words out, finally speaking them out loud and hoping that things would be okay. It was something Riku and Ryo had spoken about to each other quietly in the darkness after getting home. They wanted to meet their siblings, to get to know them - their family had expanded with half siblings they wanted to know.
Riku pressed his lips together as his eyes darted up, only to meet Aaron's own as he spoke. His eyes widened slightly at the words, a tentative smile forming as he held his breath. What he hadn't expected was the strong hug, of warm and steady arms wrapping around him - followed by the words that made him finally let his breath out, a light sigh as he lets go of his things - not caring that they fell to the floor - as he moved to wrap his own - smaller arms around Aaron and squeezing lightly, "You're my brother too," he mumbled the words, his smile now brighter. He had a big brother. Well - a big brother that wasn't just minutes older than him, which still didn't count in his mind - even if sometimes Ryo teased that it totally did matter.
