They were four and fighting over what to watch on TV. Percy ended up bonked on the face with the remote and crying, and before Ken and Miles were even able to get to them, Castor was pressing ice to his brother's lip and crying that he was sorry and he promised to never do it again.
They were six and fighting over who blew out the candles on the birthday cake. It ended up with them both faceplanting in the icing and Mama laughing so hard he couldn't breathe while Miles frowned at him disapprovingly.
They were thirteen and they don't even know what they were fighting over anymore. But they remember saying "I hate you" at the same time and the way the blood in both their bodies went cold. They never apologized, but they both knew it wasn't true and it would never happen again.
They were sixteen and Castor was making fun of Percy's low grade in math when Percy elbowed him exactly wrong and Castor collapsed right then and there. It was two weeks before Castor could come home from the hospital.
He's taller than her. The change is overnight, really, once he realizes the world won't snap him up like a carnivorous plant the second he lets his guard down, and he's taller than her. He can also pick her up, though he doesn't try. She says he's grown handsome, but that doesn't matter too much to him. He's taller than her.
And that moment, when Czes realizes that Cefiro really is an entirely different playing field, when he thinks no one is watching, Fuu thinks she sees him really smile for the first time.
