Brothers: Another Note

- 5 years ago -

"I don't wanna play with the other kids" my five year old self wailed, "It's for your own sake." A who became my older brother rambled on as I had no other relatives at Wammy's house, he felt sorry for me and took me under his wing now he was seriously going to regret it.

"NOOO!" I screamed at him, clinging onto B's leg, who was my big brother, "I will give you a cookie if you go outside and play with the other kids." A said calmly crouching in my face, he patted my hair. "Okay." I smiled at him unlatching myself from my big brother, who was relieved, "Thanks A" big brother said warmly while smiling at A. A works a lot and he never stops, he always did the 'dirty work' for L, my big brother tells me a lot about what A does, everyone seems to worship L except for big brother, he won't tell me why everyone worships him. Mello said he was a god from the heavens and was an orphan like us who lived in Wammy's when he was younger, A gave me a cookie and I played with Matt and Mello outside.

We were talking about L again, Mello drew a drawing of him conquering L and being number one, "I'm going to talk to near." I said while Mello looked at me in a funny way.

Near always played with himself away from the other kids, taking a bite out of my cookie, I passed big brother slouching against a wall wearing his usual clothing, he was crying, "Hey" he said smiling trying to put on a brave face, he ruffled my hair.

"Don't do that!" I said angrily, he smiled, "Where's A?" I asked smiling, he looked down at the floor, "He died." He said wiping a tear from his eye with his sleeve from his black t shirt.

I looked at the floor in sadness, it was all L's fault he died, if he didn't make my brother do all the work then he wouldn't have died. Mello came running towards me, he was a year older but my best friend in the whole wide world, "I heard that A has died, I'm sorry." He said out of breath trying to find me, he hugged me.

"I don't want your sympathy!" I shouted at him pushing him away from him, I ran towards the garden, while big brother started walking towards me.
