U-Fall claps their hands together, finally gaining the attention of the children in the room. “It’s close to the end of class. Please clean up your desks and get ready to leave.” they announce.The children all reply back in a cacophony of “yes Mx”s and the sound of clatter and shuffling followed.U-Fall sighs and sits back down before looking at the schedule. Got through everything smoothly… Got through the lesson fast enough that we could even manage to do their homework as well. U-Fall sighs quietly, leaning back on their chair slowly. They’re just third graders, and they still surprise me today.“We’re ready, Mx. Fall!” U-Fall blinks, looking over to the children grinning excitedly, backpacks on their backs. U-Fall glances at the time. “Aren’t you little ones getting quick?” Getting up from their chair, the group starts heading to the gate to wait for the bell.“Mx. Fall! Mx. Fall! Have you seen the new movie?”“Which kind?”“The one I showed you!”“I’ve watched it, yes.”“I really really like the pretty pink one!”“I do, too!”“You also saw the movie?”“With my family! They also like the pink one!”U-Fall continued listening to the children as they talked about this movie. U-Fall knows the movie they were talking about. The thing is that they watched the movie before it was released to the public. Maybe a perk for having an actor sibling, they weren’t really sure.U-Fall pulls their pocket watch, checking the time before glancing at the back of its cover. It was a picture of them and U-Sakura when they were young children visiting a bamboo forest with their cousins. U-Sakura had a bamboo flute while U-Fall held a bamboo pan flute.They suddenly hear a commotion above them, and U-Fall looks up from the pocket watch to see a familiar face within the crowd, their vulpine smile seen from miles away.Literally.The bell rang, and the gates were opened and almost immediately the children gathered around U-Sakura who squeals and bends down, hugging each one as they surround them. U-Fall stares before walking over.“Spring…” they utter, and their sibling looked up at them.“Fall!” they cheer, waving at them. U-Fall stares at their sibling before walking over and evidently hitting the top of their head at the side of their hand.“Ack!” they yelp, rubbing their head before squawking when U-Fall grabs their coat.“Please take care of the children. I need to scold this one for a while.” U-Fall asks a nearby teacher.“O-Of course.” they nod.-----“What are you doing here?” U-Fall questions, glaring daggers at their sibling who was innocently beaming from the other side of the classroom.“Visiting my dear sibling~” the reply.“B---s--t.”“Really!” U-Sakura insists. “Remember when I would visit you after school and see the little ones? Ohh, they looked so cute and small back then.” U-Sakura grins and U-Fall just rubs the bridge of their nose.“Spring…”“I figured that you would be sad that you won’t be teaching these kids anymore. It’s close to the end of the school year.” U-Sakura points out, and U-Fall glances away. “I know my sibling, and I can tell when you’re sad or not.” U-Sakura adds with a giggle, and U-Fall sighs.“But why are you out here? Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” U-Fall raises an eyebrow.“Oh, don’t worry! I told my folks that I’ll be gone for a bit before coming here.” U-Sakura waves their hand reassuringly.“You might end up giving them a heart attack.” U-Fall sighs, rubbing their face as the other grins cheekily.“Guess those kids get to brag that their third grade teacher is the sibling of a good actor, hm?” U-Sakura smirks and the other just rolls their eyes. “Also we’re going somewhere to eat. My treat.” U-Sakura adds.“You can’t just do that, Spring-”“Yes I can, and there’s nothing you can do about it!” U-Fall sighs, shaking their head and looking at them.“So, come on!” U-Sakura grins, grabbing their sibling’s hand.“Let me at least clean up first.” U-Fall says, pulling out a sunhat and placing it on the other’s head. “Wait for me out by the gate.”U-Sakura hums, holding onto the hat. “Don’t make me wait too long, now~” they wave at the other before heading off, leaving U-Fall in the classroom.They sigh, shaking their heads fondly. “What am I going to do with you?” they asked themself before they went to start cleaning up. Upon closing up the classroom and locking it up, they walk to the gate to see U-Sakura giggling and talking with the children and a few parents nearby. U-Fall watches before taking a breath.They are still human, and they should be treated as such.“Alright, I’m ready.” U-Fall says, approaching them.“Ah! Fall! Let’s go.” U-Sakura grins ear to ear, picking up their sunhat that was on a little girl’s head. U-Fall nods and starts walking down the sidewalk with U-Sakura following suit before stopping and turning around.“Bye!” they wave, and U-Fall turns around to see the crowd waving back and saying goodbye as well.“I’ve seen fans try and run after their celebrity. They respect you.” U-Fall comments.“Huh?” U-Sakura blinks.U-Fall simply looks back with a slight smirk. “You got yourself a fanbase for life.”U-Sakura stares before grinning excitedly and hugs them. U-Fall rolls their eyes fond and pats their head.
