Make You Smile
Fourth Smile
"Kota ? What's wrong ?"
Kota almost jerk at the mention of his name. Releasing a deep sigh, Kota rub his chest before turning to his offender. "Shoon ! Stop giving me a heart attack !"
His besfriend throw him an amused look at this. "I'm offended, Kota. You see, I didn't even raise my voice when I called you. It was a simple gesture of friendship that I was willing to share. But you acted as if I was trying to make fun of you ?"
Kota sighed. Really, his friend could be such a pain in the ass. "Sorry, Shoon. I was at fault. But you did making fun of me several seconds ago."
"My pleasure." The other boy smile wickedly.
Kota just sigh deeper at his friend's antic.
"So, what's the matter really ? You seemed, distracted." Shoon repeat his question.
"I don't know. I've been feeling real tired lately. Blame the university entrance exams." Kota start to massage his temples. "And there's this other thing."
"Ryosuke-kun ?" Shoon guessed.
"Exactly." Kota leans back on his seat. "Lately, he's been more distant. I mean, a few years back, he was more lively, but now, he seemed, I don't know, he just seemed different."
Shoon chuckles. "What can you expect ? He's a growing teenager, after all. A little bit different from normal ones, but one healthy teenager nonetheless."
"So ?"
This time, it was Shoon's turn to sigh. "Kota, my friend, you could be really dense sometimes. I wonder how you managed your youth all this time. Ah, I forgot ! You have Taiyou and me all these times !"
"Shoon !" Kota punched his friend's arm not-so-lightly. "Be serious, will you ?"
"I am." Shoon pouted while rubbing his aching arm. "Anyway, if you will listen to my advice, you let the boy be. He's just having some normal teenager's issue. Just be sure that you're there when he needs you." The older boy tap his shoulder gently before standing up and leave the boy all by himself.
"I wonder..."
***
"Ryo-chan ? Where are you going ?"
The called boy freezed on his spot before hesitantly turn his face toward his step-brother. Looking at the older boy's face in complete nervousness, the boy frantically shake his head.
"Then why are you sneaking around in the house at- 1 in the morning ?" Demand the older boy.
At this, Ryosuke just shake his head more frantically.
Kota sigh before gently lead his brother to the living room and sat him down on the couch.
"Tell me, Ryo-chan. I know you wouldn't roam around the house in the middle of the night for nothing." Said Kota seriously. "Are you hanging around with some dangerous kids ?"
Ryosuke shake his head once again, weaker this time. But Kota sees no lies in it.
"Then why ?"
Ryosuke just sighed in defeat as he resigns to his fate. He had been caught. There's no use in lying to his brother's face right now. Quickly grabbing the small notepad he always brought with him from inside his jacket's pocket and start writing. After some minutes or so, he showed the notepad to the older boy.
'I just wanted to roam around the town. I couldn't sleep, and wanted some fresh air. And, I was going to meet a friend to.'
Kots frown at this. "A friend ? What kind of friend asking to meet up at such an un-Godly hour ?"
Kota caught Ryosuke blush at this comment. And then Shoon's words from a couple of hours before invaded his mind. And then some realization hit him.
"Oh, I see. You're going to meet a girlfriend, right ?" Kota chuckles. "Not that I mind, but I think you don't have to visit her this late. One it would be dangerous for you. And two, I don't think her parents won't be glad with this."
Ryosuke blushes more as he start shaking his head once again. "It's not it !" He mouthed inaudibly.
"Eh ? Then what ?" Kota frown. Seein his brother seemed restles by it, Kota then gasp. "Don't tell me- it's a BOY ?! Oh, Ryo-chan, it's not like I will judge your preferance, but it's more reason for you to NOT meeting him at this time."
Ryosuke just groan at his brother's plain stupidity before grabbing the notepad back from his brother's hold.
'I told you it's not like that ! What if I just show you, then ? But you have to promise me that you will never tell Mama about this.'
Reading the note with confusion, Kota just nodded dumbly at the offer.
And that is why some couple of minutes later, the two brothers are currently crouching down in front of the bushes in the park nearby. Looking at his side, Kota saw Ryosuke gently rubbing a bundle of furs in a form of a small stray chocholate puppy.
"Oh, so this is the 'friend' you were talking about ?" Kota asked finally.
Ryosuke just nodded contendedly. And this gesture make Kota blushes, suddenly feeling dumb for his unreasonable guesses before.
"Stupid Shoon for giving me stupid ideas !" He curses under his breath.
On his side, Ryosuke just stare at him questioningly. Tugging at his shirt gently, Ryosuke mouthed a concern question, "Are you alright ?"
Smiling reassuringly, Kota pat the younger boy's head. "So, what's his name ?"
Pulling the notepad, Ryosuke make a quick scribble on it.
"Cocoa ?"
Ryosuke nod his head excitedly as he continued to rub on the puppy's purr.
"So, why don't you want Kaa-san to know about this ?"
Ryosuke's figure saddened at the comment. He slowly shake his head. "Mama doesn't like stray animals. Everytime I played with stray animals, I would get sick real bad, and that's why Mama hates them." He whispers in a very quiet voice, that if Kota doesn't strained his ears, he wouldn't be able to hear it.
"Ryo-chan !" Kota exclaimed. "You spoke !"
Ryosuke blushes at the exclamation before hiding his face with his hands.
Kota is grinning widely at this discovery. This is the first time Ryosuke ever make a sound in front of him. And sure thing that the boy has one beutiful voice. It was deep, but filled with playfulness. A perfect match with his cute little brother's appearance.
"Setting that aside, don't you think that you should stay away from the stray animals then ? Knowing that you'll get sick after you played with them." Kota asked worriedly.
Ryosuke just shake his head slowly. 'I'm older now. I won't get sick that easily. Beside, I can't just leave Cocoa here alone.' He said, this time inaudibly.
"How about this ? I'll help you coaxing Kaa-san into accepting Cocoa into our family !" Kota exclaimed excitedly.
Ryosuke widened his eyes as he stares at his brother in awe. "Really ?"
Kota just smile wider before nodding his head. "Of course ! I'm your brother after all ! I will always support you and be there for you whenever you need me !"
The next thing he knows was that he already has his brother lunging into his chest and hug him tightly. Knowing that the boy was probably feeling thankful, Kota just hug his brother tighter before giving the curious puppy a wink.
***
The happy bark from their backyard is what brought Kota up from his peaceful slumber. Groaning in frustation, the soon-to-be adult began to prepare himself for the day lazily.
Yawning widely, he trudges his way down to the kitchen.
"Morning~"
"Ah, good morning, Kota-kun. Why are you up so early in this lovely Sunday morning ?" His step-mother ask sweetly.
"Nothing special." Kota lay his head on the dining table. "Ah, that remind me ! Kaa-san, my friends are coming over this noon."
"Really ? Well, I'm okay with that. But it's just, that both me and your father are having something to do today. I will prepare snacks for you, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to greet your friends." The woman smile apologetically.
"It's okay, Kaa-san. We'll be fine. It's not like we're going to do something weird. We're just having a friend-bonding before we went into different university." Kota explained plainly. "And Taiyou said that he wanted to bring some of his friends as well."
"Is that so ? Well, I hope you guys will be having fun then~ Just watch out your brother for me, okay ?" Ayako smile before she leaves the kitchen.
"Sure thing."
***
"Kota ! Hisashiburi !" Taiyou exclaimed while hugging his friend tightly the moment the Yabu household's door is opened.
"Please, Taiyou. Stop exagerrating. We just met each other two day ago, right ?" Kota roll his eyes in annoyance.
"Ignore him as usual, Kota." Shoon waved before stepping inside the house. "Sorry for the intrusion !"
Kota then let all his guests in before he close the door before him. turning his head toward the bunch of boys, he frowns at the unfamiliar figure.
"Taiyou ? I believe you have something to tell me ?" Kota quirk an eyebrow.
"Ooph !" Taiyou half-gasped. "Forgive me. Ahem ! Kota, this is my friend Yaotome Hikaru. Hachibee, this is our host for the day, Yabu Kota."
"Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." Kota bow his head politely, followed with the same gesture by the new face.
"I introduce them with you because these guy here are going to the same university as you do." Taiyou explained before plopping himself onto the couch.
"Sou ka. Well, hope we could get along then." Kota smile to his new friends.
Not so long after, the group of four boys are already talking and laughing together. It seemed that this Hikaru is such a Joker. He managed to make the whole kids laughing at his jokes.
Suddenly, a loud bark erupting from behind Kota and soon the boy found Cocoa leaping into his arms. And as expected, just a few seconds after the puppy misbehaviour, Ryosuke is seen running toward his older brother to retrieve the puppy back.
Kota saw his brother who is currently sending his puppy a disapproving look before bowing his head apologetically.
"It's okay, Ryo-chan. It's just that the puppy seemed to love me too much, eh ?" He ruffles his brother's soft hair. "Ah, come see my friends here." He pulls the boy to face his friends. "You've seen Shoon and Taiyou for a couple of times already right ? Well, this new face here is Yaotome Hikaru. Yaotome-kun, this is my younger brother Ryosuke." He smiles cheekily.
But a second later, his smile faltered, as he felt the younger boy trembling hard on his side. Frowning, he crouches down in front of the young boy. His worry adds up to see the face of the young boy filled with fear.
"Ryo-chan ? What's wrong ?" He asks worriedly.
Instead of answering, the young boy quickly fled upstairs in a matter of seconds. In his reverie, he even dropped Cocoa right before he took the run.
"Ryo-chan !" Kota called out. Turning his head to his friends, he nodded briskly before following his brother's track. In his rush, he failed to see the sudden change of expression in one Yaotome Hikaru's face from shocked, into something which is a mix of longing, relief, anger, and guilt ?
~~~~~tbc
A little explanation here.. I think I messed with my timeline here.. So I've made a few reconstruction here and there.. So I would like to brief you our main charas ages here..
I once mentioned that Kota was 16 and that Ryosuke was 13 in the first chappie.. But then now I found it a little unmatched with the story, so I changed it.. And so at the revised version, Kota was 13, and Ryosuke was 10.. And this age goes until the wedding.. I edited the first chappie already if you want to know..
And in this chappie, I skipped a few years and now Kota is 18, and Ryosuke is 15.. They have been a nice cute brothers for a few years up until now.. And this chappie was like some kind of turn of events..
Well, that's it I guess.. I forgot to mention this before, so I edited this.. I'm deeply sorry for the inconvenience.. *bows*
Anyway, please review to let me know your thoughts~
