3. Luka shows up at Kaito's house with something weighing on her mind.
4. Kaito has trouble saying no to people. Meiko wants to work on that.

6. Kaito brings Rin and Len to see his parents.
7. The twins invite their friends over without first letting anyone know.Series

Summary
"I've got you," Kaito murmured under his breath, as if to convince himself. His chest heaved from the strain. "I've got you."
"Kaito..." Her fingers, thin and delicate with nails caked in mud, curled into the fabric of his shirt. "Maybe we should take a break?" Her voice was small. "Just for a few minutes. Please."
"No, I..." He gritted his teeth, sweat rolling down both sides of his face. "We have to keep going. We have to, while we still have the momentum." And before her injury worsened, though he kept the thought to himself.
Miku injures her foot. Step by step, Kaito carries her home.

Summary
She watched him go, somewhere in the back of her mind registering the newly broad set of his shoulders, the awkward length of his limbs. An odd thought occurred to her. She was grateful to him, of course, and she liked having him there, but she also wondered if all older brothers did the same as he would for their younger sisters.
(Miku is sick. Kaito takes care of her.)

And there was a horrible twisting in her stomach at the utter resignation in his voice, the complete lack of emotion on his face, and she couldn't help the way her expression crumpled.
(Or, Kaito hasn't been sleeping, but the problem isn't one Meiko can so easily solve.)

Summary
Her father, Rin decides, can be exhausting, exasperating, and—sometimes—straight up embarrassing.
Somehow, it never seems to occur to him that she's growing up, and she doesn't need him hovering around all the time anymore.
But when her classmates make fun of him, Rin finds herself standing up for him and for herself, too—because he's her father, and she has always been her father's girl.
Happy Father's Day!
