Minoru cringed slightly when Tom mentioned just a couple of the basic differences in private parts. He and Ziggy had grabbed hands to scamper out of the bar. Minoru had no idea that was roughly the equivalent of groping him. Who knew what rubbing his back might have meant.
On the other hand, Isamu’s head shot up when Tom compared the relationship to a brotherhood of sorts and started discussing different gestures.
“Oh! Minoru! In addition to learning appropriate platonic Anthean gestures, you should teach Ziggy what Mama used to do when we were little, back when she tucked us in.”
Minoru looked over at his brother, and couldn’t help but laugh. “The forehead poke?”
“It did not make you squirm in disgust the way a kiss to the forehead often would. I remember that much quite clearly. But I believe Ziggy would appreciate knowing where that gesture comes from - since you did do it to him during the party.”
“I did?”
“You definitely did. And he may have misinterpreted it as rejection.”
