Chapter 4 - Understanding Each Other
“Ainosuke-kun will be discharged soon. We’re going to pay a good attention to you for a couple of days just to make sure that you’re perfectly fine already.” Kaitani inform the Tanaka brothers with a wide smile.
“Un. Arigatou sensei.” Ainosuke reply him with his own smile.
“Good.” The doctor ruffle Ainosuke’s hair. “I shall leave now. Ja~”
“It’s great ne~ You can leave already soon.” Yumeto smile at his brother.
“Un.” Ainosuke nod. “I’m glad that you don’t leave.”
“Baka !” The older of them flick Ainosuke’s forehead. “I promised you I won’t, didn’t I ?”
“Hehe~” Ainosuke scratch the back of his head.
“Ah ! Shouldn’t we tell your teacher and Kato-san about this ? I’m sure they wanted to hear from you.” Yumeto exclaimed as he fished out his phone from his pocket.
“Ah. Sure.” Ainosuke agree. “Sayama-sensei will be frantic.”
“Yeah. She’d been frantic ever since she knew that you were here.” Yumeto said while hands still scanning through his contacts. “I can’t believe you’d bear with her for that long. I mean, her punch was good.”
“Eh ?” Ainosuke frown in confusion. “How- ? Aniki, don’t tell me that Sayama-sensei had punched you ?”
Yumeto mentally slapped himself for spilling that information. “N-no ! I was just g-guessing ! I mean, look at how she wears those huge rings ! Her punches must be hard.” Damn. Why did he became so nervous ?
“Aniki, I can tell you that you’re lying.” Ainosuke said piercely.
Yumeto was frantic for a moment before deciding that he’ll just let it flow. “Okay. She did punch me once.”
“I know it ! That sensei ! I’m so going to demand for an apology !” Ainosuke exclaimed enthustiacally as he too looking for his own phone. “Aniki ? Where’s my phone ?”
Yumeto sigh deeply as he steps closer toward his brother, his mission to tell the other 2 adults momentarily forgotten. “Your phone is perfectly safe inside my bag. And no, you don’t have to call your teacher just to ask her to apologize to me, because it was indeed my fault.” He sits just beside his brother.
“Eh ? What did you do to upset Sayama-sensei ?” Ainosuke tilt his head to the side.
“She was upset when she knew that you collapsed. And she blamed me for that.” Yumeto explain softly. “Not that it was not my fault. I know it was, because if I didn’t make you exhausted with those games I played, then you wouldn’t ended up here like this.” He caress his brother’s cheek gently.
“But if you didn’t, then we won’t be together like this ne ?” Ainosuke smile so softly it makes Yumeto’s heart melt.
“Well, I should make some calls I suppose. Chotto ne.” Yumeto said as he finally call the other adults to inform them about his brother’s latest condition.
After a while, Yumeto finally close his phone as he retursn to sit at Ainosuke’s side. “Are you hungry ? I can go and buy you some snacks before your meal arrive, which is.. in 3 hours.”
Ainosuke chuckle. “I’m not that hungry yet. You can go and buy something if you’re hungry.”
“Well, if you won’t want to eat anything then I suppose I don’t have to go.” Yumeto decide as he folds his arms in front of his chest.
Ainosuke pout. “Mou~ I know you’re hungry. Why won’t you take care of yourself better ? If you got sick, who will take care of you that I’m stucked here ?”
“Hey, hey, hey ! Stop worrying about others already, it’s not good for your recovery. Try to worry about your own health, will you ?” Yumeto flick his brother’s forehead.
“Mou.” Ainosuke rub the spot where his brother flicked him. “It was Aniki’s fault. I’ll stop worrying about you if you take care of yourself better.”
Yumeto sigh. “Okay, I’ll go get some food for myself.”
Ainosuke grin happily.
“But with conditions !” He quickly added.
“Eh ?” Ainosuke frown and tilt his head in confusion.
“That you’ll let me buy you at least something too, and…” Yumeto put his fingers under his chin.
“And ?” The younger ask curiously.
“And you will stop calling me Aniki.” Finished Yumeto. “It’s annoying.”
Ainosuke’s face fell at this. “N-nii-c-chan..” He whispers quietly.
Yumeto frown at this before sighing loudly. He can’t blame his brother if he’s feeling awkward by that old nickname. True that Ainosuke used to said it rather oftenly. He used to easily said ‘Nii-chan’ everytime he was feeling so. ‘Nii-chan’ this, and ‘Nii-chan’ that. But after these whole ordeal, it seems that it’s not that easy to call him that familiar. After all, Yumeto had been his own brother’s enemy for months already.
“It’s alright. Just say it when you’re feeling that you’re ready.” Yumeto pat his brother’s head before walking toward the door.
“Gomen.” He could hear his brother’s whispering word.
Yumeto take a deep breath before replying. “It’s okay Ainosuke. Really.” He start to turns the doorknob. “I understand. Don’t push yourself to do things you’re not ready to do.” And with that, he left.
