Chappy 2 Ryutaro's POV
14 years old going on 15. Still in puberty. Having way more fun. Endless hormones, even more emo-ing, and knowing too much about... stuff. About my own little brother.
Who now thinks I'm annoying and possibly hates me. How that ended up happening... well it's thanks to me. I pushed him away for his own good. Really, I did. For both our sake's.
I had originally planned to ignore him completely but somehow I had found myself following wherever he went. Like... for instance, whenever he wanted to go out and play, I had to be there with him. Plus my parents would think I'm one awesome, caring brother who looks after his little brother. I like to think I'm awesome....
Anyways, I had debuted with Hey! Say! JUMP two years ago, while Shintaro was still with the juniors. And I had noticed he was getting closer to one particular junior, Nakayama Yuma. Coincidentally, they were in a drama together as siblings: Battery. Even though it's been such a long time since I saw that drama, somehow I could only remember that one particular scene... where Shintaro was crying... and then he had to just hug him for who knows how long... half dressed! I remember wanting to throw my drink at the screen when I saw that part. Only I could do that.
Wow... I sound really possessive. But I swear, I'm not the slightest bit jealous. And I'm not in denial, okay?
By the way, I am so not pissed off about that bastard pinning Shintaro down on the bed and almost biting his neck in a really wrong position. Though I don't really want to admit that I had wanted to be in that guy's position... I shouldn't be thinking about stuff like that right now.
Our parents left to have their honeymoon trip, leaving us both alone with a new babysitter. Too bad, this babysitter was exactly like the other one except more experienced with it. Not like I cared. Well... sort of. It's a bad thing because... I'm alone with Shintaro and then too many thoughts go through my head.
Shintaro came out of his room, all dressed up with a small bag over his shoulder.
"Where are you going?" I asked. Shintaro didn't have school nor practice. He finished filming for the Snow Prince movie. What else was there?
"I'm going to Yuma-nii's house," he answered while grabbing the keys from the drawer.
My demeanor instantly grew hard as I stepped right in front of him and snatched the keys away. Since when did Shintaro call him by his first name and even added the older brother honorific? Now that I thought about it... Shintaro had said he wanted Nakayama as his brother before. My fingers curled up into a fist, remembering.
"What was that for?!" Shintaro exclaimed, his eyes glaring at me.
I bit my bottom lip, seeing Shintaro's defiance for the first time with that annoyed, frustrated expression. If anyone should be annoyed or frustrated, it should be me! "You can't go!" I yelled at him without meaning to. I let my emotions take hold of me.
"Why not?!" Shintaro protested, eyes flaring.
"Because I say so!" I lamely told him, taking the keys and stuffing them in my pockets. Then I proceeded in pushing Shintaro to his room. "Now be a good little brother and stay in there until it's dinner time."
Shintaro had struggled along the way but obviously I was stronger. "I want to go!"
"Shut up. You're being noisy and annoying," I growled at him before effectively shoving him in and locking the door.
I sighed, trying to calm myself down. Maybe I should take anger management classes... but how could I help it? I couldn't stand knowing that Shintaro was getting chummy with Nakayama. I guess, what I feared the most was Shintaro... falling for Nakayama. I know, I couldn't be any lamer. Locking my own brother in his room. That was a bit out of hand...
I messed up my own hair out of irritation, going to my bedroom. I"ll apologize later and unlock the door soon after this heavy feeling in my heart goes away...

Shintaro's POV
12 years old. And my current state: Emo-ing in my room. More like, I can't get out since my stupid brother locked me in here. He's always so unfair! I let out a noise of frustration and laid on my bed, staring up at the ceiling as the events replayed in my head.
"Where are you going?" Nii-chan seemed worried about where I was going to be.
"I'm going to Yuma-nii's house." Not like I wanted to stay in the house with nii-chan all day. It was boring without someone to play with. Plus Yuma-nii is really fun! We've been in two dramas together and are really close! Most of the time, I wished that he was my brother instead of nii-chan. Yuma-nii is more like the old nii-chan... but that nii-chan is gone now...
When Ryutaro jerked the keys out of my hands unexpectedly, I cried out, "What was that for?!" This had never happened before. Usually, I can go out with my friends but this time... he won't let me... why? And even if I could, he would still follow!
"You can't go!" Ryutaro insisted with a loud voice. The loudness rang in my ears. He's so scary when he's mad at me... though I'm not sure why he's mad at me. What did I do wrong? I could think of nothing. Nothing!
"Why not?!" I retorted, wondering why he was being so unreasonable. I glowered at him, too.
"Because I say so!" he replied before making me go to my room along with keeping the keys. "Now be a good little brother and stay in there until it's dinner time." Dinner time? But what about lunch? How does that make sense?
"I want to go!" I wailed, flailing my arms about but it was of no use. Nii-chan was just too strong... and so stubborn. It's practically impossible to change his mind once he had made it up.
"Shut up. You're being noisy and annoying." With a last push, I fell to the ground of my room as I saw the door closed with a click sound.
And now I was here, bored and depressed thanks to him.
I still don't get how our relationship turned this way... it's not like it was my fault. I tried, I really did. But he kept on pushing me away... saying hurtful things... rejecting me to the point where I cried... I couldn't take it anymore. My heart squeezed painfully, making it harder to breathe.
I had told Yuma-nii about all of this and he listened to me... comforted me... gave me advice when I needed him. He really is a dependable brother... the one that I had always wished for.
Something wet rolled down my cheek and I wiped it away with the back of my hand. No... I couldn't cry... I tried hard not to cry for the past year or so. I wanted to be stronger... but I can't right now. My vision grew blurry as I tried to blink back the tears. My chest grew tight, thinking about nii-chan.
Yuma-nii... what's wrong with me? I d-don't know what to do anymore... I had no idea why I had a magazine open and confiding in his picture.
I quickly got off my bed and opened up my window. I didn't need the keys... I don't care if nii-chan yells at me...
I managed to climb out safely, landing on the grass with a small plop. Without looking back, I ran to Yuma-nii's house.
