Hello again. I saw someone asked for Shinya, so I apologize that this horrible Oneshot does not contain much Daddy Gurren. Instead it contains an Uncle Shinya. Either way, I hope this isn't entirely ooc and that it brightened your day a little bit. Enjoy.

"I hate all Hiragis!".

And so Shinya Hiragi and a boy he knew to be Gurrens Protege had held thier first encounter at what he knew to be a toppled and abandoned vending machine.

He did not bring him to Gurren despite knowing full well he was supposed to be training this fine morning.

After introducing himself and offering to retrieve some sort of candy from the great black box, all the child replied with were those four very hateful words.

Honestly, he was quite taken back.

With clenched fists, the Hyakyuya orphan appeared very reluctant to look him in the eye almost as though Shinya had done something to truly wound his pride.

"Come again?".

"Y-You heard me!".

The boy, Yuuichiro, just wondered what was with these Hiragis and why they possessed strength several times his own

It was inconceivable and confusing, especially for such a small girl like HER.

Was she even human?

Yes, despite his long time craving for even a bite of sweet sweet chocolate, he had to remain strong and resist temptation because how could he ever expect to kill every vampire if one human was too much to handle.

And a GIRL at that!

Unfortunately for him, to anyone who wasn't in his head he just appeared silly.

It was only now, as Shinya withheld a chuckle that he realized that Yuuichiro had a rather large and unsightly bruise on his shoulder.

Looking even closer, he actually found alot of them and, judging by the colour, they couldn't have been inflicted anymore than a few hours ago.

It occurred to him that he had a cruel little sister who was around his age. Shinoa, despite her skill, still had to go through the average military child's education so they should have been in the same class.

"Hyakyuya." Shinya started as he took a step forward "Are you a friend of Shinoa?".

And almost to confirm his suspicions, the boy flinched at the name.

"I-I-I-I'm not friends with HER!" He sputtered angrily, pink tainting his cheeks.

Shinya grinned.

"I'm not!".

And he agreed with him. This was starting to look more like a crush

To be more specific, it appeared as though this Yuuichiro child was crushed by his crush.

"Your friend can be pretty cruel, can't she."

"I just let her win and she is not my friend!".

"Ah, so a girlfriend, then?".

"W-What?!".

Shinya could officially say that this boy reminded him of a small Gurren.

With similar colouring, pasts, personalities and taste in women , they were also equally fun to tease.

He wouldn't be surprised if he had actually been his friends child.

And so, when Gurren came stopping in to steal his protege back to training, he made sure the boy left with at least three Hershey's in his back pocket just to brighten his day and the days of anyone who chose to steal it.

Beside, he'd train better if he had something to protect.
