Chapter: 1/? (intro/try-out)
Summary: The four brothers, Shinji, Yuuji, Koji and Toshi all deal with their own and each others problems. Shinji, as the oldest sees it as his task to take care of the three younger ones, against any price.
While the three older brothers (have) become adults, the youngest one stays in his imaginary world.
1
Shinji lies on the couch in the living room, reading a book, with the autumn sun shining through the window, warming his face. It is hard not to fall asleep, but within fifteen minutes, he really has to put his book away and start doing his work.
The dishes still need to be done, the toilet to be cleaned, the laundry has to be hung up and meanwhile Yuuji has to do the shopping, so Shinji can prepare today’s dinner for him and the others.
Being the oldest one means a lot of responsibility, but Shinji doesn’t mind to take care of his younger brothers. Usually.
Today he is lazy, and not in the mood for cleaning, doing the laundry or cooking.
” So much work…” Shinji moans to himself. “ So little time.”
Then, suddenly, an excited person runs into the living room.
”SHINJI-KUN!” He shouts.
Shinji looks up from his book and streaks some blonde hairs out of his eyes.
”SHINJI!” His three years younger brother shouts again. “I NEED MONEY!” He has a huge, boyish smile on his handsome young face.
Koji is a weird guy, if you compare this childish behaviour with his usual. Normally, Koji has a nonchalant attitude. Trying to make it seem like nothing in the world cares him a damn, but when it comes to things he wants badly, he can be just as childish as he was ten years ago.
”For what?” Shinji asks suspicious, while he sits up and looks at his brother. With his friendly face, Shinji makes a trustable appearance. But when it comes to some of his younger brother’s needs, he makes an exception. Koji can’t handle to deal with money, and would spend it to the most ridiculous things, and though their small family has enough to eat, they can’t afford it to spend money to useless things.
”Well,” Koji smiles and he sits down on the couch as well, resting one foot on the ground and one knee on the couch, turning his face to his oldest brother and putting on his most angel-like expression. “There is this shop, where they sell the most awesome, coolest, greatest, most fantastic, best-“
”Just make your point!” Shinji laughs.
”Skateboard ever.” Koji ends his sentence.
Shinji’s laugh faded, he stares at an empty spot on the carpet. “ Koji we don’t-“
”It’s not that expensive!” Koji says quickly, and he lets himself drop from the couch, exactly on the place Shinji was staring at, so his brothers dark blue eyes pierce through his own, with a begging expression. In fact, Koji is begging him anyway.
Sitting on his knees , bowing for his older brother Koji says: “I know we don’t have that much money-“
”That’s not it, we just can’t-“
”But I will pay it back! I swear!” Koji interrupts him. “I just need a bit more money!”
Shinji is silenced for a few seconds.
” Pleeeaaaase, nii-chan?”
”If you don’t need that much more money, why can’t you just wait a week or so?”
”Because,” Koji says with an “that is so obvious”-tone. “it is a very special and exclusive skateboard. It will be sold out within a day if you don’t allow me to get it now! In two weeks I’ll give you the money back! I swear!”
Shinji sighs. “ How much?”
Koji looks up from the carpet, the expression on his face is extremely happy. “NII-CHAN YOU ARE THE BEST! YOU RULE!”
Shinji smiles, he guesses, that’s what he all does it for…
Yuuji opens the front door, and as he does, his two years younger brother runs out of the house, shouting: “Hey Yuuji!”.
Yuuji blinks two times with his eyes, then walk into the house as if nothing happened, closing the door behind him.
” I am home.” He says with a calm voice.
“Welcome back.” Shinji smiles.
”Koji seemed excited.” Yuuji talks without any change of his calm tone.
”He had to buy a new skateboard.” Shinji sighs.
”Again? Doesn’t he get too old to always buy whatever he wants?”
”Perhaps.” Shinji smiles. “Though, when it comes to certain stuff, you are just as bad.”
Yuuji ignores that remark and walks into the living room, to a small wooden cabinet. He opens one of the drawers and takes an old-fashioned wallet out of it, opens it and takes some money out of it without any questions. He puts the wallet back, closes the cabinet, passes his older brother and leaves the house just as calmly as he came.
”Bye.”
His huge light-blue eye followed how his three older brothers came and went, but now the living rooms is empty.
”Coast is clear,” Toshi softly whispers while turning his head away from the key-hole in his bedroom door.
”Are you sure?” His friend softly asks. “And won’t they come back soon?”
Toshi smiles widely and shakes his head. “Don’t worry! Mr. Singclear and mrs. Breakheart have left the house, and dr. Goldhair has to do his daily work! Come on assistant-detective Kun-Kun. Don’t tell me you are afraid while we are that close to our solution? We only need to collect more evidence!”
But assistant-detective Kun-Kun breathes a lot of air, and doesn’t show fear anymore. “ I am not scared detective Toshi!”
”Yay! Then let’s go! We have to be quick! I think Mr Singclear will be back soon, I don’t know how long lovely mrs. Breakheart will take, but we can expect her any moment. And don’t forget: the doctor is still around, use your weapon when needed! Show me you’re the best assistant I ever had Kun-Kun! Let’s do our best and catch those criminals! On three Kun-Kun! One, Two-“
Shinji sighs as he walks back into the living room, with a basket full of laundry in his arms. As he passes the doors leading to the bedrooms of Koji and Toshi, he almost gets an heart-attack:
”THREE!” a voice shouted just before the door unexpectedly opened, and banged against Shinji’s arm.
”AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!” Shinji shouts from pain and shock, while wet clothes fly around in the air and land everywhere in the living room.
”OH NO! HE IS ARMED!” Toshi shouts as he runs out of the door and dives behind the couch. “ DRAW YOUR WEAPON ASSISTANT-DETECTIVE KUN-KUN!”
Shinji bowed over while holding his sore arm, with teary eyes he looks up to his younger brother. “ Toshi-“ he moans.
”RATATATATATATATA!” Toshi formed a gun with his fingers. “PAUW PANG!
” Toshi!” Shinji repeats, a bit louder.
”PENG! PANG! KABOOM! YOU ARE DEAD DR. GOLDHAIR!”
”TOSHI!” Shinji shouts with his deep voice, to overwhelm the noise of his youngest brother.
”No! Detective Toshi, Shinji! And you are deeeaaaheaaad! So lie on the floor and don’t talk.” Toshi says with an explaining voice.
But Doctor Goldhair doesn’t seem to know what being dead means, cause he keeps on standing on his place, with his arms crossed, one eyebrow pulled up and with a not very pleasant expression on his face.
”Toshi” He repeats on a dangerous “you are in trouble”-tone.
”…Yes nii-chan?” Toshi softly mumbles as he stands up from behind the couch, holding Kun-Kun, his teddy-bear, in his hand.
”Look around.”
Toshi’s big, light-blue eyes slide through the living room, seeing the ravage he caused.
”What do you see?” Shinji says severe.
”Clothes…” Toshi slowly mumbles.
”Exactly. And where do you think those clothes are supposed to be?”
”…The basket?” He answers innocently.
”Right again! Now, tell me, how come those clothes are spread through the living room and not in the basket, where they belong?” Shinji asks, his tone isn’t unfriendly or severe anymore.
”B-but nii-chan, Kun-Kun and I were busy with collecting evidence so we could arrest the murderer of Drake!”
”…Drake?” Shinji asks confused.
”Yes!” And Toshi runs back into his bedroom and returns with a green crocodile, the fur is ripped of his tail and some wool comes out of it. “See?”
Shinji takes the stuffed animal and looks at it. “…This is Drake?”
Toshi nods.
Shinji sighs. “I can try to fix Drake for you To- eh, Detective Toshi. But first, you and Kun-Kun have to clean up the mess.”
Toshi seems to think about that proposal. “What do you think Kun-Kun? Can we trust doctor Goldhair?”
Shinji grins in himself. “Doctor Goldhair” he mumbles.
”Hmmm…Good point. We better not leave the poor Drake to our enemy. And besides: he is dead already.”
“Well I don’t think he is, Detective.” Shinji smiles. “With a small operation, I can swear mr. Drake will be as good as new.”
”…I don’t know.” Toshi says slowly.
”Well, after all, I am a doctor ne?” Shinji grins.
”HO HO HO! Wait! You are only called DOCTOR Goldhair cause you are an evil genius, though,” And Toshi pulls his older brother a bit down so he can whisper in his ear (Shinji has to bow over deeply so Toshi can reach his ear). “ I think it was mrs. Breakheart who did it.”
”…mrs Who?”
”Mrs Breakheart!” Toshi says, indignant his oldest brother doesn’t seem to understand such an obvious thing.
Shinji looks confused and Toshi sighs deeply and annoyed. “KOJI! Dooooh!”
Shinji is silenced for two seconds, then he bursts out in a laughter.
”Koji?!” He laughs. “Koji isn’t a woman Toshi.”
Toshi seems really indignant, grabs Drake out of Shinji’s hands and walks back into his bedroom, mumbling: “Older brothers don’t understand anything, Kun-Kun.”
Shinji grins and shakes his head as he sees how his eleven years old brother indignantly leaves the room, but then he realizes all the wet clothes are still in the living room.
”Shi- TOSHI! WAIT! COME BACK HERE!”
Yuuji walks absently through the supermarket, getting all the stuff he knows that he must buy, but he can do that without hardly any thinking. He always has to do the shopping, every day. It is his task in the household, together with some other small things. But Shinji does all the tough or annoying work, he irons, cleans, does the laundry and he cooks. As the oldest, Shinji thinks he is responsible for the others, not for Yuuji in special, since they only differ one year and Yuuji is capable of taking care for himself, but that doesn’t count for Koji, who can’t deal with money and is a horrible cook, and Toshi…
Well, Toshi is a special case. First of all he is too young to take care of himself, second…He is even younger in mind than he is in body. Yuuji knows Toshi is a huge concern for his older brother, and also for himself.
Toshi is a sweet little boy, really. He always tries to do his best, but…In his mind he is rather six than eleven years old.
In school he gets picked at, even though Toshi never mentions that, but Yuuji saw it. He once passed Toshi’s elementary school and saw how his little brother got hunted by several other boys, who were throwing trash and rocks at him, laughing at him because of Kun-Kun, his little teddy-bear. Yuuji didn’t know what to do, he just watched it happening, perplexed why Toshi never told him or Shinji about it…
Yuuji never told Shinji about this either, it would only made him more worried. Meanwhile, he started to think of ways how to help his youngest brother.
While drowning in his on thoughts, Yuuji still walks passed the shapes, putting some products in his shopping-car, not noticing how several girls giggle and stare at him when he passes.
”Do you see him? That is Yuuji! One of the Hattori brothers!” One girl whispers to another.
”Oh! The one who’s scared of girls? That’s so kawai!” the other one answers.
”No, Yuuji is the poetic one, he is SUCH an artist. I mean look at his clothes! Isn’t he hot?”
”Aren’t all those three brothers hot?”
Then both girls start giggling and follow Yuuji as he walks to the cash-till.
Koji walks out of the skate-shop, a huge grin of triumph on his face. “Finally, it’s you and me babe.” He softly says to the box in his hands, containing his desired skateboard.
Koji walks further on the pavement, with his thoughts in a world where he is about to make the best and highest jump on his skateboard ever made, and where thousands of fangirls are cheering and shouting his name.
”Koji!”
Koji’s smile only grows wider, he can actually hear them!
”Koji!”
And the voices become louder as he imagines harder! Though…Isn’t that voice quite, low for a girl?
”KOJI!”
Koji feels how someone taps him on his shoulder, and finally he turns around. And it indeed isn’t a girl he faces, but a taller young guy, with dark-brown hair that’s dyed in several other colours, like black and blonde. Two longer locks of hair fall over his shoulders, further his hair is short and points to every side, like Koji’s own natural black hair.
The guy’s dark-blue eyes are quite familiar to Koji, since he has almost the same eyes, though his are shaped a bit more round.
”Yuuji!” Koji says surprised and with a grin. “Didn’t hear you.”
” I noticed.” His older brother says calmly.
Koji looks over Yuuji’s shoulder and notices two girls standing behind him, whispering in each others ears, giggling and pointing.
”Older brother,” Koji grins. “ You have been followed.”
”Eh?!” Yuuji asks surprised, and he turns around. “Oh, those…I see that one in the dress a lot when I do shopping.” He shrugs.
”Do you?” Koji grins. “Okay brother, you take her then, I want the one in the skirt!”
”…You can have them both.” Yuuji shrugs, and he wants to walk further.
”Yuuji-kun, wait! Don’t behave like Shinji! Or are you afraid of girls too?” Koji grins evilly.
”Stop it Koji. I am just not as bad as you are.”
”Ah, so you are gay?” Koji laughs.
”Wh- NO!” Yuuji says indignantly, while having a face as red as a tomato.
”Aw, don’t worry Yuuji, a handsome guy like you will break many male hearts!” Koji grins and blinks at his older brother, then he walks to the two girls.
Yuuji stares at the back of his younger brother, than he realises what Koji actually just said.
”You little brat!” Yuuji says out loud.
A little girl who just walked passed him heard it, and started to cry.
’This is so not my day.” Yuuji thinks as he starts to comfort and apologize to the little girl and her mother.
”Hello ladies,” Koji grins to the two girls. “ How’re you doing today?”
Both girls giggle and stare at the handsome dark-haired guy in front of them, with his wide chest and narrow middle, his muscular arms and his black hair that looks like a hairbrush never touched it, to his headband and his eyebrow piercing, and most of all; to his flirty and stunning grin, which made many hearts beat faster. Koji is a lady-killer, and he is well aware of it. Even if Yuuji and Shinji both are taller, Koji’s muscular body and flirting-skills made him the “hottest”-Hattori brother, and he is damn proud of it too.
”F-Fine.” One of the two girls stutter, with huge blushes on her cheeks.
”Are we? That’s great ladies, really great. And where are my manners? I haven’t introduced myself yet! I am Koji! Hattori Koji! Pleased to meet you on this, now more, lovely day.” And Koji bows a bit, like a real gentleman.
The girls giggle even more, impressed by both, his appearance and his name. And Koji knows he can add two new phone-numbers to his address-list.
Under the severe eye of his oldest brother, Toshi is hanging up the laundry.
”What is this nii-chan?” He suddenly asks surprised as he holds up a flower-patterned piece of clothes, with two spherical parts.
Shinji’s head suddenly feels as hot as a stove, and he feels how he becomes red on his cheekbones. “Eh,”
”Isn’t this what ladies wear under their clothes?” Toshi continues curiously.
”Eh, eh…”
”Whose is it? Yours, nii-chan?”
”NO! IT’S KOJI’S!” Shinji exclaims. Then realises he shouldn’t have said that to his little brother…He doesn’t want to have this talk again, Shinji had it with Toshi years ago but it seems like Toshi doesn’t like to remember it, though he does like to ask awkward questions a lot. Though this time it seems to be different:
”AH!” Toshi shouts cheerful, while Shinji feels how he becomes even more red. “SEE THAT KOJI IS A WOMAN?! I WAS RIGHT!”
Shinji stares perplexed at his little brother, who just continues on hanging up the laundry. The bra just hangs in between of a shirt and a pants, and Toshi doesn’t seem to have any further questions about it.
Though Shinji now has a new problem: How to explain Koji isn’t female?
At the other hand, the picture of a female Koji is so hilarious, Shinji doesn’t want to spoil the fun for Koji himself by not imagining that.
”I am home” Yuuji says as he enters the living room again. “Why is my underpants hanging over the telly?”
”WELCOME HOME MR. SINGCLEAR!” Toshi shouts cheerful, as he runs passed Yuuji and grabs the boxer from the TV, to run back to garden through the open doors, where he hangs up the boxer.
”Mr who?” Yuuji asks confused while looking at Shinji, who shakes his head. “Better don’t ask Yuuji-kun, I was doctor Goldhair, and Koji is-“
”MRS BREAKHEART!” Toshi exclaims cheerfully.
”Mrs Breakheart.” Shinji repeats with a grin.
”…Okay…Nobody told me you are into role-playing Shinji.”
Shinji’s grin faded and he blushes again. “I didn’t- I don’t I-“
Yuuji laughs. “Relax, I am sure Koji looks awfully hot in a mini-skirt and push-up bra!”
“Oh don’t tell me about your perverted fantasies Yuuji.” A not-very amused voice says.
”Oh shit.” Yuuji mumbles as he feels how Koji’s death-glare pierces through the back of his head.
”I. Am. NOT. A. GIRL!” Koji shouts as he slaps his older brother on the back of his head.
”OI! AUTCH! HEY! I didn’t start it!” Yuuji tries to avoid more punches from his muscular younger brother, even if Yuuji is a bit taller, he is physically less strong than Koji is, Yuuji has a more narrow chest and is less muscled. His younger brother can easily hurt him.
”Do girls slap like this? DON’T THINK SO!” Koji shouts.
”AUTCH! Okay, okay I get it! You are the most macho and male person EVER Koji! NOW LET ME GO!”
Koji finally lets his older brother go and looks around with a huge grin of triumph. “Victory!” He grins.
”No, I demand justice.” Yuuji moans while rubbing the back of his head.
”No justice for the weak.” Koji grins. “ Now, Shinji-kun, what’s for dinner? And Tosh - WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT BRA?!” As Toshi ran to him and tries to put the bra around his way too wide chest.
”TOSHI!”
”But Shinji said it was yours!” Toshi says indignant, as he stops his trials to close the bra on Koji’s back (Toshi has to stand on his toes to be able to reach Koji’s shoulders).“SHINJI!” Koji groans.
Shinji shrugs while laughing his ass off, together with Yuuji.
”It is yours isn’t it, Koji-kun?” Yuuji laughs teasing.
”I- I-“ Koji stutters.
”It can’t be his!” Toshi says disappointed. “ It doesn’t even fit…”

” I am home.” He says with a calm voice.
“Welcome back.” Shinji smiles.
”Koji seemed excited.” Yuuji talks without any change of his calm tone.

”Perhaps.” Shinji smiles. “Though, when it comes to certain stuff, you are just as bad.”
Yuuji ignores that remark and walks into the living room, to a small wooden cabinet.

Shinji sighs as he walks back into the living room, with a basket full of laundry in his arms. As he passes the doors leading to the bedrooms of Koji and Toshi, he almost gets an heart-attack:
”THREE!” a voice shouted just before the door unexpectedly opened, and banged against Shinji’s arm.
”AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!” Shinji shouts from pain and shock, while wet clothes fly around in the air and land everywhere in the living room.
”OH NO! HE IS ARMED!” Toshi shouts as he runs out of the door and dives behind the couch. “ DRAW YOUR WEAPON ASSISTANT-DETECTIVE KUN-KUN!”
Shinji bowed over while holding his sore arm, with teary eyes he looks up to his younger brother. “ Toshi-“ he moans.
”RATATATATATATATA!” Toshi formed a gun with his fingers. “PAUW PANG!
” Toshi!” Shinji repeats, a bit louder.
”PENG! PANG! KABOOM! YOU ARE DEAD DR. GOLDHAIR!”
”TOSHI!” Shinji shouts with his deep voice, to overwhelm the noise of his youngest brother.
”No! Detective Toshi, Shinji! And you are deeeaaaheaaad! So lie on the floor and don’t talk.” Toshi says with an explaining voice.
But Doctor Goldhair doesn’t seem to know what being dead means, cause he keeps on standing on his place, with his arms crossed, one eyebrow pulled up and with a not very pleasant expression on his face.
”Toshi” He repeats on a dangerous “you are in trouble”-tone.
”…Yes nii-chan?” Toshi softly mumbles as he stands up from behind the couch, holding Kun-Kun, his teddy-bear, in his hand.
”Look around.”
Toshi’s big, light-blue eyes slide through the living room, seeing the ravage he caused.
”What do you see?” Shinji says severe.
”Clothes…” Toshi slowly mumbles.
”Exactly. And where do you think those clothes are supposed to be?”
”…The basket?” He answers innocently.
”Right again! Now, tell me, how come those clothes are spread through the living room and not in the basket, where they belong?” Shinji asks, his tone isn’t unfriendly or severe anymore.
”B-but nii-chan, Kun-Kun and I were busy with collecting evidence so we could arrest the murderer of Drake!”
”…Drake?” Shinji asks confused.
”Yes!” And Toshi runs back into his bedroom and returns with a green crocodile, the fur is ripped of his tail and some wool comes out of it. “See?”
Shinji takes the stuffed animal and looks at it. “…This is Drake?”

”…mrs Who?”
”Mrs Breakheart!” Toshi says, indignant his oldest brother doesn’t seem to understand such an obvious thing.
Shinji looks confused and Toshi sighs deeply and annoyed. “KOJI! Dooooh!”
Shinji is silenced for two seconds, then he bursts out in a laughter.
”Koji?!” He laughs. “Koji isn’t a woman Toshi.”
Toshi seems really indignant, grabs Drake out of Shinji’s hands and walks back into his bedroom, mumbling: “Older brothers don’t understand anything, Kun-Kun.”
Shinji grins and shakes his head as he sees how his eleven years old brother indignantly leaves the room, but then he realizes all the wet clothes are still in the living room.

Koji walks out of the skate-shop, a huge grin of triumph on his face. “Finally, it’s you and me babe.” He softly says to the box in his hands, containing his desired skateboard.
Koji walks further on the pavement, with his thoughts in a world where he is about to make the best and highest jump on his skateboard ever made, and where thousands of fangirls are cheering and shouting his name.
”Koji!”
Koji’s smile only grows wider, he can actually hear them!
”Koji!”
And the voices become louder as he imagines harder! Though…Isn’t that voice quite, low for a girl?
”KOJI!”
Koji feels how someone taps him on his shoulder, and finally he turns around. And it indeed isn’t a girl he faces, but a taller young guy, with dark-brown hair that’s dyed in several other colours, like black and blonde. Two longer locks of hair fall over his shoulders, further his hair is short and points to every side, like Koji’s own natural black hair.
The guy’s dark-blue eyes are quite familiar to Koji, since he has almost the same eyes, though his are shaped a bit more round.
”Yuuji!” Koji says surprised and with a grin. “Didn’t hear you.”
” I noticed.” His older brother says calmly.
Koji looks over Yuuji’s shoulder and notices two girls standing behind him, whispering in each others ears, giggling and pointing.
”Older brother,” Koji grins. “ You have been followed.”
”Eh?!” Yuuji asks surprised, and he turns around. “Oh, those…I see that one in the dress a lot when I do shopping.” He shrugs.
”Do you?” Koji grins. “Okay brother, you take her then, I want the one in the skirt!”
”…You can have them both.” Yuuji shrugs, and he wants to walk further.
”Yuuji-kun, wait! Don’t behave like Shinji! Or are you afraid of girls too?” Koji grins evilly.
”Stop it Koji. I am just not as bad as you are.”
”Ah, so you are gay?” Koji laughs.
”Wh- NO!” Yuuji says indignantly, while having a face as red as a tomato.
”Aw, don’t worry Yuuji, a handsome guy like you will break many male hearts!” Koji grins and blinks at his older brother, then he walks to the two girls.
Yuuji stares at the back of his younger brother, than he realises what Koji actually just said.
”You little brat!” Yuuji says out loud.
A little girl who just walked passed him heard it, and started to cry.
’This is so not my day.” Yuuji thinks as he starts to comfort and apologize to the little girl and her mother.
”Hello ladies,” Koji grins to the two girls. “ How’re you doing today?”
Both girls giggle and stare at the handsome dark-haired guy in front of them, with his wide chest and narrow middle, his muscular arms and his black hair that looks like a hairbrush never touched it, to his headband and his eyebrow piercing, and most of all; to his flirty and stunning grin, which made many hearts beat faster. Koji is a lady-killer, and he is well aware of it. Even if Yuuji and Shinji both are taller, Koji’s muscular body and flirting-skills made him the “hottest”-Hattori brother, and he is damn proud of it too.
”F-Fine.” One of the two girls stutter, with huge blushes on her cheeks.
”Are we? That’s great ladies, really great. And where are my manners? I haven’t introduced myself yet! I am Koji! Hattori Koji! Pleased to meet you on this, now more, lovely day.” And Koji bows a bit, like a real gentleman.
The girls giggle even more, impressed by both, his appearance and his name. And Koji knows he can add two new phone-numbers to his address-list.
Under the severe eye of his oldest brother, Toshi is hanging up the laundry.
”What is this nii-chan?” He suddenly asks surprised as he holds up a flower-patterned piece of clothes, with two spherical parts.
Shinji’s head suddenly feels as hot as a stove, and he feels how he becomes red on his cheekbones. “Eh,”
”Isn’t this what ladies wear under their clothes?” Toshi continues curiously.
”Eh, eh…”
”Whose is it? Yours, nii-chan?”
”NO! IT’S KOJI’S!” Shinji exclaims. Then realises he shouldn’t have said that to his little brother…He doesn’t want to have this talk again, Shinji had it with Toshi years ago but it seems like Toshi doesn’t like to remember it, though he does like to ask awkward questions a lot. Though this time it seems to be different:
”AH!” Toshi shouts cheerful, while Shinji feels how he becomes even more red. “SEE THAT KOJI IS A WOMAN?! I WAS RIGHT!”
Shinji stares perplexed at his little brother, who just continues on hanging up the laundry. The bra just hangs in between of a shirt and a pants, and Toshi doesn’t seem to have any further questions about it.
Though Shinji now has a new problem: How to explain Koji isn’t female?
At the other hand, the picture of a female Koji is so hilarious, Shinji doesn’t want to spoil the fun for Koji himself by not imagining that.
”I am home” Yuuji says as he enters the living room again. “Why is my underpants hanging over the telly?”
”WELCOME HOME MR. SINGCLEAR!” Toshi shouts cheerful, as he runs passed Yuuji and grabs the boxer from the TV, to run back to garden through the open doors, where he hangs up the boxer.
”Mr who?” Yuuji asks confused while looking at Shinji, who shakes his head. “Better don’t ask Yuuji-kun, I was doctor Goldhair, and Koji is-“
”MRS BREAKHEART!” Toshi exclaims cheerfully.
”Mrs Breakheart.” Shinji repeats with a grin.
”…Okay…Nobody told me you are into role-playing Shinji.”
Shinji’s grin faded and he blushes again. “I didn’t- I don’t I-“
Yuuji laughs. “Relax, I am sure Koji looks awfully hot in a mini-skirt and push-up bra!”
“Oh don’t tell me about your perverted fantasies Yuuji.” A not-very amused voice says.
”Oh shit.” Yuuji mumbles as he feels how Koji’s death-glare pierces through the back of his head.
”I. Am. NOT. A. GIRL!” Koji shouts as he slaps his older brother on the back of his head.
”OI! AUTCH! HEY! I didn’t start it!” Yuuji tries to avoid more punches from his muscular younger brother, even if Yuuji is a bit taller, he is physically less strong than Koji is, Yuuji has a more narrow chest and is less muscled. His younger brother can easily hurt him.
”Do girls slap like this? DON’T THINK SO!” Koji shouts.
”AUTCH! Okay, okay I get it! You are the most macho and male person EVER Koji! NOW LET ME GO!”
Koji finally lets his older brother go and looks around with a huge grin of triumph. “Victory!” He grins.
”No, I demand justice.” Yuuji moans while rubbing the back of his head.
”No justice for the weak.” Koji grins. “ Now, Shinji-kun, what’s for dinner? And Tosh - WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT BRA?!” As Toshi ran to him and tries to put the bra around his way too wide chest.
”TOSHI!”
”But Shinji said it was yours!” Toshi says indignant, as he stops his trials to close the bra on Koji’s back (Toshi has to stand on his toes to be able to reach Koji’s shoulders).“SHINJI!” Koji groans.
Shinji shrugs while laughing his ass off, together with Yuuji.
”It is yours isn’t it, Koji-kun?” Yuuji laughs teasing.
”I- I-“ Koji stutters.
”It can’t be his!” Toshi says disappointed. “ It doesn’t even fit…”
