Well, this is my first fic that I've really been into writing in a long time, so don't mind that the first chapter is really short. It's the beginning to a somewhat long fic. Trust me, I've plotted the whole thing out already and know all the twists and turns that it'll bring. Question is are you ready for it? R&R please, thanks. (Also note that I did intend to spell "importantist" for the flash back.)
Summary: With the breaking of a promise, Yuuta's world becomes unstable and seeks other people to try and bring that world back from the brink of destruction, but even after going as far as to try and repair things, will Yuuta ever find a way to repair the damage done (especially in his heart)?
Warnings: This is yaoi, YuutaxMizuki, FujixTezuka, YuutaxAtsushi, Fujicest, and Kisarazucest, and mentioning of TezukaxRyoma.

// I'm sorry. I don't mean to remember.
I close my eyes and brace myself
I only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
My scars are yours today.
I love you and I understand
That you stood where I stood.
I close my eyes and brace myself
I only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna break my shell
I'm done healing. //
"Yuuta, you're my everything. I don't know what I'd do if you hate me." Both brothers were camping in the iving room, ages six and seven.
"That'll never happen, Aniki. You'll always be the most importanist person to me. But I don't need to be the most important person to you." Syuusuke smiled.
"Don't be like that. You'll always be the most important to me. I love you, Yuuta." The younger boy smiled.
"Love you, too, Aniki. Promise I'll always be first?" He held up his pinky. The elder hooked it with his own and they shook their hands.
"It's a promise."
Yuuta grumbled as he opened the door and walked in. An eye twitched at noticing a pair of shoes that didn't belong to their father, and never his mother or sister. He snapped his shoes off and sighed.
"Tadaima." He didn't exactly call it out, not really caring. He hadn't exactly told anyone he would be coming home this weekend. He just had a bad hunch and felt that he shouldn't have come home. Walking silently up the stairs, the feeling grew and his stomach grew knots. The door to his brother's room was slightly ajar, allowing the sound to filter out into the hallway. Yuuta almost dropped his tennis bag right where he stood.
"I love you, Tezuka. Oh, oh, right there." Yuuta swallowed as he heard his brother moan. Tempted, he moved and his breath caught in his throat as he caught a glimpse of the older boys tangled together. That sight caused Yuuta to rush down the stairs, not bothering to remain silent, and slammed the door behind him.
"Maybe you're overreacting." Yuuta stared at the third year. He was being serious, and yet the other was taking him lightly.
"No, he broke a promise." He was slightly on the childish side, but he always kept that promise, never letting even their mother become more important than Syuusuke. Mizuki tossed an arm around Yuuta's shoulders, pulling him close in a comforting manner.
"Go out with me, Yuuta. You nolonger have to abide by a promise to your brother. Just get used to the idea of your brother nolonger holding you as his number one. You'll always be my number one, though, and no one can replace you." Mizuki had always been good with words, and Yuuta was buying them. Grey orbs moved over to gaze at Mizuki, wanting to question the words, but not wanting to chance anything.
"Alright, Mizuki-san." Mizuki smiled and patted Yuuta on the head as he got up off the bed, twirling strands of hair around a finger.
"Anyway, try to get some sleep, Yuuta-kun. We'll go to the movies tomorrow, take your mind off your brother." Yuuta nodded and with that Mizuki left him alone. Yuuta sighed as he collapsed on his bed. The hood to his hoodie started to bother him at first, but he ignored it and it went away. Was this the right thing to do? He didn't want to be blamed for breaking a promise, but he had caught his brother breaking it. Yuuta rolled over to face the wall, fist smacking against it.
"Stupid Aniki, I hate you." Tears strolled down his cheeks, breath becoming short as he choked back sobbing. Somewhere in him just seemed to shatter as he replayed the scene in his head. Both bodies unclothed and entangled on Syuusuke's bed, Tezuka's lips going down his brother's neck. At this point, Yuuta grabbed his pillow and violently threw it at the wall, knocking his lamp off the deck and falling to the floor. The anger swelled up in Yuuta and he started going through things Fuji had sent for him, destroying everything that would remind him of the elder boy who had betrayed him. After ten minutes, and several knocks from his near by teammates who could hear all the noise but were turned away by Yuuta's yelling, Yuuta collapsed to his knees. He tossed his pillow back onto his bed and shut the light off before crawling under the covers.
"It's not fair... He promised."
I now feel so bad for the heart broken, Yuuta. Will he ever repair his relationship with Fuji or does Mizuki have other things in mind? Find out next chapter. Review if you please.
