Notes: I apologize for the (super) late update. RL has become quite unfriendly lately that I think I won't get anything done any time soon *sighs* Please forgive me for giving such depressing notes, I have been in black moods for these past few months. Still, I hope you'd enjoy this little update of mine. Have a nice read, everyone~

"Who is that?"
"It's Kagami-kun. He'll be staying with us starting today."
"Eeeehhh?"
Midorima pushed up his glasses, "We have promised to take care of him. He'll be the newest addition to our family."
"Midorima-kun, please refrain from using big words such as 'addition'. Kise-kun might not understand what you're saying with his limited vocabulary." The light-haired boy then paused, taking in the almost empty room before adding, "Although, it may no longer be a problem as Kise-kun left already."
The Oha-Asa fanatic just sighed, mumbling something along the line of reckless idiot and short-attention span in response.

With My Brothers
Chapter 2
-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-
If there was anything like love at the first sight, then there must also be hate at the first sight. Because, honestly, that's what he felt when he first landed his eyes on Kagami Taiga.
Really.
Kise was by no means a spoiled child, but he could be very possessive if anyone, especially a weird baby kid like Kagami (honestly, what kind of kids have forked eyebrows anyway?!), came out of nowhere and tried to take his beloved brothers away!
So, on the first day of his summer holiday, the golden-haired boy began his plan in order to get rid of Kagami one and for all!
By chance, he found out that Kagami happened to be afraid of dog.
Of course, being the jealous kid he was, Kise immediately set Nigou on the poor boy. Kagami had cried and tried so hard to get away from Nigou that he ended up injuring himself in the process.
His most favorite brother and person on the whole world, Kurokocchi, got angry and ignored him for a few days after that. Saying something about him being irresponsible and some fancy adjectives that he failed to understand. What he knew was that Kuroko was really furious at him because of what he did to Kagami.
He cried on his room alone that day.
Kuroko, despite being blunt and straightforward person he was, never once got really angry with him.
For his most favorite brother to blow up like that because of someone who wasn't even family...
The blond hugged his pillow tighter.
Hurt.
It hurts so much!
He really really didn't like Kagami!

Sadly, the same thing happened for the rest of his summer holiday. Every time he tried to get the attention of his brothers, they were always busy taking care of Kagami one way or another.
After Kurokocchi, the next time it happened was with Aominecchi.
"Hey, hey, Aominecchi, look at my test. I got the best score in my class!"
"Yeah, yeah, good for you then." The dark-skinned teen waved his hand dismissively, not once turned to look at the cheery blond. Kise watched in silence as his usually grumpy brother had actually looked enthusiastic for once. Aomine had rarely spent time with him once he entered middle school, but here he was teaching Kagami basketball and clearly enjoying it… "Come on, Bakagami, show me what you've got. Hey, hey, don't dribble it like that. You gonna get hurt if the ball—see what I mean? Don't cry, oi! That's your own fault for not listening to me, stupid kid..."
It was really unfair! Aomine was his brother, his, and definitely not Kagami's! Then how come the redhead was the one to get his hair ruffled so affectionately and receive his brother's cheerful grin?!

Then it was Midorimacchi.
"Midorimacchi, Midorimacchi, lookie, lookie! I got it at school today. Teacher said that we have to show it to our parents or guardians so that—"
"Kise, I told you not to disturb me today."
"But, Midorimacchi—"
"Go away, Kise. I'm busy."
"But..."
Instead of answer, he got a door slammed into his face.
The paper he carried moments ago, permission slip for the upcoming school trip, floated lifelessly to the ground.
"But you still have time to knit something for Kagami..."
Midorimacchi and everyone else…
All of you always have time for Kagami.

And Murasakibaracchi...
"Murasakibaracchi, I got some sweets for my classmates. They said it's a new product just released this week."
"Ah, thank you, Kise-chin." The purple-haired teen immediately grabbed the snack and opened one of the wrappers. "It's delicious~ I'll make sure to leave one for Kaga-chin later."
"Eh? But Murasakibaracchi, you never share your snack with anyone!"
"Huh? Really? But Kaga-chin is different..." and the giant continued on his munching.
…...
"Can I ask for one then? My classmates said it was delicious, but I didn't get to eat because I want Murasakibaracchi to have it."
"Eeh...No."
"Wh-what? Why?"
"I don't wanna~"
"But you are going to give Kagami one!"
"Kaga-chin is Kaga-chin. Kise-chin is Kise-chin."
What makes him so special?

And finally, Akashicchi...
"Akashicchi..."
"Yes, Ryouta. Is there anything you need?"
"Umm..." The blond fidgeted, unsure. Akashi looked tired no matter how hard the redhead tried to hide it. His brother must be exhausted with juggling between schoolworks, club activities, and working to support them. Kise might be a loud, oblivious idiot like what his siblings usually referred him as, but he was not selfish and thoughtless of others, especially his precious brothers, well-being. He clearly didn't want to disturb Akashicchi's nap time, "Welcome home, Akashicchi."
A rare, gentle smile graced the redhead's face, "Thank you, Ryouta." He patted the soft golden locks and walked the blond out of his room, "Did you see Taiga? I promise to play with him today."
The younger boy halted, grin slid off his face in an instant.
"Ryouta?"
"...He is in the dining room with everyone."
Yes, even Akashicchi too...

It was enough.

Notes: Umm… I'm not sure but somehow it has gotten a bit angsty? And shorter too… I'm very sorry about that. The next chapter should be longer and more interesting than this one (or at least I hope it will be). And, well, thank you for coming and reading my story! I hope you enjoy it, guys! Tell me what you think in your reviews, okay?
