Summary: Who knows that falling in love will be that dangerous, literally.
I don’t really believe in love at the first sight. It’s just a sweet words one says to the other to catch the latter’s heart. About whether it is said from the bottom of the heart or not, only the one who said it knows. Therefore, I should correct my sentence, that I don’t believe it, at all.
But one thing that I believe, that there are some people born into this world bearing a special pheromone that can attract anyone.
He is shorter than me, having a cute smile on his pink lips. A bit skinny but having a white cream skin that looked to be so delicate. I guess he’s younger than me. Maybe he’s a local boy who lives around here?
I’m staying in silence on my spot, having my eyes set at that boy. We are in the middle of chanoyu (tea ceremony) simulation, so we have to stay as quiet as we can, although I’m not taking a part in the ceremony. Fortunately, this chanoyu simulation is held in the hall, so I can watch the process until the end. So here I am, standing outside the chanoyu area while gazing at the boy who’s joining the simulation and sits in the left side of the area, until a pair of hands grabs my trousers. And as I look down, a little girl is crying beside my feet.
“Where’s… mama?”
***
“So you helped that little girl finding her mama for an hour long?” Yuya chuckles. He’s my buddy, the one who invited me to come to his hometown this summer holiday.
I nod weakly. Carrying the little girl on my shoulders wasn’t an easy job, especially when I didn’t have the chance to have my lunch. As soon as we arrived at Yuya’s house, he immediately asked me accompanying him to the nearest institution, where a Tanabata Matsuri for foreigners and local citizens live around there was held. I feel like my whole energy absorbed already. “I didn’t have another choice. She’s crying the whole time, and everyone was thinking I did something bad to the girl if I didn’t help her.”
“And you missed your chance to be acquainted with that boy?” Yuya laughs. “You have a bad luck ne.”
“It’s because you dragged me home as soon as you heard that your baby brother had come home already without you.” I retorted. Yuya taps my shoulder.
“Hahaha. Sorry. And it reminds me, you haven’t met him there too, darou? Me too. Eventhough I went there because I wanted to meet him so bad.”
“How could I meet, err, even, how could I recognize your brother when you never showed me his photo.” I roll my eyes.
Yuya is a handsome brunette, yeah, I admit it. Many girls are chasing for his attention. I know, he’s very popular. He even made my cousin, Daiki, to admit it when he came to my house last week. But that won’t change the fact that I know, he’s having a brother complex problem. He talked about his little brother, who has the same mom but different dad with him, so much. And it’s only me who know that fact.
“Because I don’t want my acquaintance in the college to know my baby brother. If I showed you his photo, there’s a possibility that anyone else would also look at that photo, and maybe even fell in love with him.” The brother complex-mode has turned ON. I can’t do anything to change this side of him, even as his buddy.
“Many girls will be disappointed knowing this side of you.” I mumbles.
“What?” He asks. I smiles to him innocently.
“Nothing.”
And as I realized, we’ve arrived at Yuya’s house once again.
“Tadaima!” Yuya says in front of the door, waiting for anyone to open the door. And a cute voice from inside can be heard by no time.
“Wait!” The door cracks open, revealing the one who has that cute voice. “Okaeri, nii-chan. And.. who is he?”
“My buddy. He’ll be here for a week. He is… Uhm… Ryosuke? Hello?”
My eyes are still opened, Yuya. I’m even still noticing that you sway your hand in front of my eyes. I’m not losing my sight, dude. The only problem why I can’t even blinking is because the boy I saw earlier is now standing right before my eyes, and I’ve mesmerized by his beauty.
***
Chinen Yuri. Chinen Yuri. Chinen Yuri.
If I call him three times like this, will he suddenly appear in front of me? Will he call me back with that cute voice and with that smile? Or will he come into my embrace straightly?
Or maybe the biggest possibility is I’ll get a death glare from Yuya, or maybe a bonus of punches.
Chinen Yuri is a step brother of Takaki Yuya. It means that Yuya’s baby brother, the cute one who makes him suffering a brother complex is him. But I can’t blame Yuya. If it were me, I’d be sure to keep him for myself, far away from anyone who can steal him from me.
“Don’t put any lewd gaze on your eyes when you saw him later or you won’t get your dinner. Or maybe you’ll be the dinner.” A menacing look from Yuya is enough to make me shivering. I already got a strong pinch on my cheeks as soon as we arrived at Yuya’s room. It’s a punishment from Yuya because I stared at his little brother a bit too much. I had no choice but then telling him that his little brother was the boy I looked at the simulation. Fortunately, I didn’t get any punch or what because he was busy bragging about how his little brother was indeed very attractive, but I know, if I did something wrong or suspicious, I wouldn’t leave this house safely. Yuya’s parents are on holiday abroad, so, excluding my cute.. err, Chinen Yuri, there won’t be an eyewitness if Yuya did something bad to me. Haha, kidding.
“I know.” I sigh. “I still want to get my dinner and save my life. Listen to my stomach.” I caress my stomach and it growls.
“Me too.” I hear another growl, now is from Yuya. “Let’s go. And remember, don’t lay any finger to my Yuri.”
I shrug my shoulders and ignore him. It would be a waste of energy if I respond every of his threat. We walk down the stairs to get into the dining room. As we reach down, Chinen is walking into the living room while holding a bowl and a glass of orange. He stops when looking at us. And my eyes almost absorbed by that pairing of eyes.
“How could you have your dinner without me?” Yuya protests while walking toward Chinen.
“I’m hungry, nii-chan.” He pouts. “And you have a friend to accompany you having your dinner.”
He takes a glance at me. He’s taking A GLANCE at ME. Chinen is taking a glance at me!
“Come on, Yuri.” Yuya rolls his eyes. “By the way, where’s my appetizer?” He smirks. Appetizer? Will I get one too?
Chinen rolls his eyes, cutely. How many times have I said the word ‘cute’ today?
“In front of your friend? Here?” He asks. Yuya nods.
“Of course. Don’t mind him.” Yuya smirks again and closes his eyes. I see a sigh from Chinen. Hmm, I feel suspicious about this ‘appetizer’.
“Niichan no baka.” Chinen clicks his tongue before then tiptoeing, cupping Yuya’s cheek, and gives him a peck on the lips.
In short, Chinen gives Yuya a kiss for the appetizer.
Wait. A kiss? They’re brothers, right?
“You smell so good. New shampoo?” Yuya ruffles Chinen’s hair.
“Yes. My friend gave me because he said it smells nice.”
Yuya nods. “Use it. It smells so nice on you, indeed.”
They talk and do activities as if I weren’t there. And as if they didn’t do something weird before. Yuya is a brother complex sufferer, indeed. But a kiss on the lips is too much, right?
“Hey, join us in the dining table.” Yuya takes the bowl and glass from Chinen and walks nonchalantly to the dining table.
“Hey, nii-chan!” Chinen protests, but Yuya ignores him. He pulls a chair and sits there.
“The more persons, the more fun.” Yuya responds, and Chinen has no choice but tailing him. “You can sit here, Ryosuke.” He pulls the chair beside him.
I nod and sit there. “Thanks.”
“Gomen ne, Yamada-nii, we only have this ramen for dinner. No one can cook here beside mom.” Chinen says while pulling a chair across Yuya’s seat. And he called me YAMADA-NII. Okay, I think I’ve been a bit overacting since met him.
“It’s okay.” I show him my best smile. “If none of you disagree, I even can cook for the meal.” It’s serious, not to be snooty, I have a confidence in cooking.
“Great idea.” Yuya clicks his fingers. “You’re really dependable!” He pats my back. “It’s a right decision to invite you while mom is away.”
“Gomen again, Yamada-nii. Nii-chan is always like that. Random and being too honest.” Chinen once again called me and stacks his tongue at Yuya.
“Why are you being so polite to him? And I’m not that bad.” Yuya snorts, pretending to feel angry. Chinen laughs.
“Guest is the king, right?”
His laugh is capturing my attention more. “Don’t worry, Chinen. I’ve known him, even his deepest secret. And about his crazy behavior, I’ve seen it almost everyday.” I almost laugh when suddenly getting a whack from Yuya.
“You are truly a buddy of mine, Ryosuke.” Yuya says in a mocking tone.
“You can tell it.” I reply with self-satisfied smirk on my face.
“You’re really a close friend of nii-chan ne, Yamada-nii.” Chinen smiles.
“Are you jealous, my Yuri?” Yuya raises his eyebrows, but then the evil smirk curved on his lips. I know it’s the time when the special button on his brain being pressed. “Not to worry, you’re number one for me.” Yuya taps his own chest. All this time, I didn’t know that his brother complex-mode is on this critical state.
“Haha. No, nii-chan. I just feel that I also want to have a close friend like Yamada-nii.”
He wants a close friend like me. Chinen Yuri wants to have a close friend like me. Can I say that Chinen Yuri wants me, instead?
“He knows everything about you. He accepts you as his buddy eventhough he already knew your craziness. Furthermore, he’s good looking, have a kind face, good at cooking, and…”
“I know, I know.”
Yuya stops him, and I feel thankful about it. Very very thankful. Everyone must be curious why I wanted Chinen to stop although he was praising me. The reason is so simple. Wait for another minute of praising, and I will faint in happiness, or maybe do something to Chinen that can make Yuya kills me in no time. So, this fast heartbeat, please stop before Yuya realizing it.
“You praised him too much, Yuri. The only reason why he can be my buddy is because he’s the same crazy as me. Who will be friend of a crazy people if he’s not being another crazy one?” Yuya
This time I pinch his arm. “Hahaha. Don’t make me looked the same as you. You are the way crazier than me.” Yes, I’m not having a brother complex, dude. Yeah, I’m crazy. But you are more than crazy, Yuya. “Now let’s eat the ramen before it gets cold.” I kindly remind them that we’re going to have our dinner.
The time we spent on the dinner was amazing. Amazing enough for me. I feel like I’m getting closer to Chinen. He told us about his school days, his daily activities, his friend, and even what happened in the house while Yuya was on our dormitory. He considered me as a part of the house already despite the fact that until some hours ago I was still completely a stranger to him. It makes me excited. My heart galloped faster and faster everytime he smiled, he laughed, and even when he pouted.
Am I experiencing love at the first sight? To Chinen Yuri? No.
I’ve already said that I don’t believe at love at the first sight. At-all. Please, blame Chinen and his pheromone. The first time I saw him, I felt something was emitted from him, something that made my eyes couldn’t stop looking at him. It must be his pheromone, I’m sure. It’s natural to follow my instinct to be curious at something that very attractive like that darou?
And listen, if I fall in love with him, I should be insane after meeting him especially after knowing that I’d be under the same roof with him for this week. In fact, I’m okay, I’m the usual Yamada Ryosuke, and I’m not getting insane. It’s just I couldn’t think as clear as usual around him.
If I fall in love with him, I should feel my body heated just to be near him and hear him calling me. Again, I’m okay. I didn’t feel my body heated even after hearing him praising me in front of me. It’s just that the one getting warmer is my cheeks, followed by a little thump on my chest.
If I fall in love with him, I should make Yuya away and use the chance to do something to Chinen to prove my love for him. I think I didn’t do it. All I do is just thinking about it, not doing it.
See? Too fast to say I’m in love with him. It’s wrong to say that I’m in love with him at the first sight. The truth is just that his pheromone attracted me and I have no choice but coming closer to the source. Right?
