[ Perhaps everything leading up to this moment in her life was a mistake. She couldn't say it was a good run, but it sure was a run nonetheless. Taiga Aisaka had, in fact, lived a life. And this is it, this is where her soul shatters and she takes this entire world down with her; not from despair, but the crushing weight of embarrassment.
A high five. ]
Yes, you startled me! Do you want to have a broken jaw?!
[Yuuto takes a second to reassess the situation: The high five, her being startled, the threat to have almost tried to break his jaw… and he takes it all quite well. His sister has a violent reflex too and it didn’t come from no where. He assumes Taiga is the same.
So he dials his energy down. Kinda.]
It’s okay! You’d have a hard time hitting me~ I’m decent in a fight! [This clearly solves everything.]
I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful in the future… I’ll warn you next time! [He holds up his pinky finger,] I promise?
[ Taiga is still utterly dumbfounded at this energetic, bumbling puppy's existence. There's no choice but to reach out and hook her own pinky around his, completing the sacred pact of a pinkie promise. ]
N-no, it's fine... I should've expected something like that. Plus, I'd never hear the end of it if I actually punched you. No harm done.
