Harry hoped he was done with the acrobatics by now, but it seems he was wrong. He went to the very edge of his toenail and sat down. His legs were limping in the air. He felt his little brother's gaze on his back. Then suddenly he swung forward, and when he was in the air he twisted his body and caught the edge of Tom's toenail. He hung there and had a perfect view under the toenail. A metal rod was stuck there. One end of the rod was visibly pressing into the soft, pink part of the boy's skin under his toenail.
Harry rocked himself back and forth until he managed to rest his feet on the front of the big toe. He extended his arms fully and pulled himself up as he let go of the edge of the toenail. This is how he managed to reach in with his arms and successfully grab hold. Now it was completely under the toenail. All he had to do was to crawl inside until he could reach the metal bar.
Tom caught his breath for a moment when he saw his brother jump down. He only calmed down when he saw his brother's hands at the end of his toenails. Then they also disappeared, but now he wasn't worried because he could feel his brother's body on his skin. That's when he felt a slight tension as his brother crawled between his skin and his toenail. He would have liked to have pulled his foot to his chest so he could look at him, but he guessed that it wouldn't help. Then he felt a stinging sensation, which grew stronger until an unexpected end, and he no longer felt that weak but constant itch too.
Tom sighed in satisfaction. Then Harry's hands and then his head appeared on the edge of his toenail. When he got up, he saw that he was clutching a metallic shiny rod between his thighs. Harry sent him a nurturing look.
"How did you get a metal rod under your toenail?" He waved the shiny thing.
"Oh no!" He thought to himself. Even his ears turned red, like a child caught doing something bad.
"It was accidental." He said shyly.
"Accidental?" he asked, a bit worried "Does it mean that you stepped on something?"
Tom didn't dare to look at his brother, the scene was extremely silly considering the difference in size "Y-yeah... nothing important, I swear!" he said.
Harry wasn't amused "Tom..."
"Alright." he pouted "My feet were dirty and I felt an itch, so I saw this metal tower and scratched my toe with it... I didn't mean to break it."
Harry widened his eyes, now he understood what caused that power shortage he and dad were talking about during breakfast "That's not good, we told you not to do that. I thought you were a good boy?"
"But I am! I just got itchy!" he protested "I'm sorry..."
Harry couldn't be mad at that face, after all having to be that careful at 5 years old must have been a pain in the ass.
