Asti threw the blanket over Asta's shoulders and used his heat powers to warm up the air under the blanket to keep Asta from shivering.

"I would never use our like like that." He said and couldn't keep a straight face as he did so. They both burst out laughing at the comment.

Asti picked one of the more underrated characters that was rarely used but had some good powers if you could get the combos down right. Asti won a couple of rounds and so did Asta, but Asti was just happy to be having fun with his brother again. The long trip to the academy hadn't left them much time to have fun and the death of their parents before that had sent Asti into a deep depression and now that they were at the school, Asta was a great help in pulling him out of it.

He ate the ice cream as they played and did his best to keep the controller from getting too sticky. He still leaned his head on Asta's shoulder even though they were competing against each other he felt really close to his brother.
