Atsushi turns to look over his shoulder. “He’s watching us again.”

Turning back to his brother Atsushi frowns and piles more sand onto their sand castle. A persistent stalker kept interrupting their playtime. Or, not interrupting, since he never approached, and he never made a nuisance of himself, and if Atsushi and Ryou hadn’t noticed him following them a week ago they wouldn’t have known he was there.

 

“Just let him be.” Ryou stuck a twig in their sandcastle with a bit of red napkin fluttering at the end.

 

“What if he wants to play? We could invite him.” Atsushi started scooping out sand for the moat. It would be easier if he had a shovel or something but their shovels were all locked up in the garage and Mom and Dad were busy today.

 

“I told you we’re not inviting anyone to play.” Ryou was wearing his ‘older brother’ look. He’d learned it from watching their babysitter’s anime. “This is Ryou and Sushi time.”

 

Atsushi shrugged but glanced over his shoulder at the brown haired kid again. It looked like he was mouthing the word ‘why’.
