[‘bro code, man.’ there's barely enough time for him to muffle a snicker behind his hand but sizhui manages, his grin crinkling the corner of his eyes nevertheless, though. it's odd, he's uncertain why today of all days has him feeling extra giddy, yet figures it must be something to do with how nice the heated water feels alongside inadvertently meeting a couple of people who don't seem to mind sharing the hotsprings while having a little back and forth.]

[the moment he realizes jason's backing up, all attention is on him, widened dark eyes watching intently. closer and closer he gets, causing the longer-haired male to shift backward until his own back hits the edge, leaving him with nowhere else to escape.] Ah—! [right as the other male bumps into him, of course.]
I— I wouldn't have necessarily assumed, though most people might have? I do know some brothers aren't blood-related. [he catches jason's gaze, doe-eyed and mildly concerned by the sudden invasion of his space, considering them not knowing each other, except he isn't complaining. up close like this, sizhui can get a better look, maybe even linger longer than is needed. then jason moves away, backs up into the man he'd initially been trying to avoid, who sizhui's now directing his gaze toward.] There's also, uhm, the case of sworn brothers.
[why the hell does any of this matter? it doesn't, it's just all really good distractions from the fact he's got goosebumps, is faintly trembling and might possibly be turned-on because of some brief skin-contact.] So, the two of you are... adopted, then?
