Living Room, Asahina PoV
In the morning, one by one the Asahina brothers start coming into the living room for breakfast.
Masaomi is already seated and is drinking his coffee when his brothers come in, "Morning."
The three of them greeted back, taking a seat waiting for their other brothers.
"Morning." Yusuke came in next, yawning.
Then Wataru, with Iori and Subaru. Louis is a late riser so they know, he won't be awake yet.
Iori look around, "Hmm that's unusual."
"What is it Iori?" Subaru look at his brother, biting on a piece of bread.
"Riku, is not awake yet?" Now everyone looks at Iori.
"One of us should go and check up on him." Kaname suggested, "Last night, he doesn't look so good."
Azusa and Tsubaki volunteer to go and check on their second youngest brother.
Level 3, Rikuto's Room.
*Knock, Knock*
"Riku." Azusa called.
No answer.
Azusa opened the door quietly, the room was dark and they quietly walk to the figure on the bed.
True to Kaname word, Rikuto is sick. His cheek is flushed and he is sweating and shivering at the same time, although he is bundled inside his blanket. Azusa calmly told his twin, who is already panicking, to go and fetch their oldest brother.
Azusa, on the other hand, gently shook his brother. "Riku, riku."
RIKU POV
"Ri..ku" I heard one of my brother voice calling my name
I tried opening y eyes, which feels very heavy, I 'm greeted by the sight of Azu-nii sitting on my bed and looking at me with worry.
"A…zu…nii." My voice is hoarse, and I'm having trouble breathing and talking at the same time, "Sigh, I think I caught a cold. Brothers will fuss."
Azusa frowns deepened, apparently he did not like how weak my voice is, "Riku, how do you feel? " He looks at me critically.
"Not so well, I have a headache, my throat itch and my nose is stuffed." I said to my brother truthfully, clearing my throat and huffing.
Azu-nii nod at me and the door opens, revealing not only Masa-nii and Tsuba-nii but the rest of my brothers as well. Masa-nii hurried to my side, Azu-nii walked to the side, giving Masa-nii some space.
"Riku said that he has a headache and he feels cold." Azu-nii fills in what I've just said to Masa-nii.
Masa-nii nod at him and then looks at me, He puts his hand on my forehead, "It seems that you have a fever." He looks at me sympathetically.
"Ri-chan you okay."Wataru looks at me worriedly.
I tried my best to smile, despite my pounding headache, "I'm okay wataru."
Turning my head to my other brothers, "Nii-san stop worrying, you gonna miss work and school."
Kana-nii came over and pat me on the head, "I will stay and watch over Riku, I'm sure my superior wouldn't mind."
That seems to ease my brothers, Io-nii and Subaru-nii said their goodbyes first since they are late for their classes. Tsuba-nii and Azu-nii pat my hand before promising they would come back early. Yu-nii and Louis-nii come over next, Louis-nii pat my head gently before leaving. Then Masa-nii, who has to coax Wataru to go to school. Finally it's just me, Kana-nii, and Ukyou-nii.
"I will prepare some porridge." Ukyou-nii said, "Kaname, I trust you would be able to heat it without burning the house."
Kana-nii pretend to look hurt at the accusation, before turning serious and assured our second oldest brother that he would take care of me. That seems to satisfy Ukyou-nii as he flashes me a smile before going out.
During the whole time Kana-nii watch me like a hawk, checking my temperature every once in a while, changing the towel on my forehead, making sure I drink a lot.
He is checking my temperature when I wake up, "did I wake you? Sorry." Kana-nii apologize.
I shake my head slowly, then the thermometer on my armpit start beeping. Kana-nii expertly took them out and check them, "hmm it just slightly lower than before, but I guess It better than nothing." He smiles at me and sits on my bed, "Are you hungry Riku-chan, its lunch hour. Kyou-nii made some porridge before he left."
I didn't feel like eating, but I know it's important, "If it's just a bit then I think I can." Kana-nii seems to be pleased and went to get the promised porridge. It seems that I feel asleep because while waiting, because I was awake by Kana-nii shaking my shoulder.
"Riku-chan." He called and helped me sit on the bed. He places the tray in front of me.
I look at him, "Kana-nii you are not going to eat?" coughing when I feel the itch on my throat.
"I'm fine, I'll eat after you." He resumes his sitting position and watch me eat.
I could only stomach a few spoon of porridge before I felt ill, bringing on hand on my mouth, trying to calm my stomach.
"You okay, Riku?" Kana-nii stand up and rub my back in circular motion, helping my calming my stomach.
I nod my head but pushed the tray away, signalling my brother that I can't eat anymore. Kana-nii tries to coax me to eat a bit more, I just shook my head and look apologetic.
"Okay." Kana-nii gives in, "Do you want to sleep some more?"
I shook my my head, "No, I feel a bit better. Could you turn on the music please?"
My brother chuckle at me and stand up to reach my cd player just opposite my bed, He press play and my soft classical music plays, "Ri-chan sure enjoy this music."
"It is soothing and relaxing, I wonder why not many people like it. "I turn my head to look at my brother.
"Well I guess tastes change as time passes." He smiles, "So Ri-chan, what do you think about our sister?"
"I'm not sure nii-san, as I have never met her before." My brothers laughs at me, "Ri-chan, I know you have never met her before, what I meant is, are you glad that we are going to have a sister?"
I went to look at the ceiling, thinking, "Hmm I guess, it's okay."
Suddenly, Kana-nii pet me, "Ri-chan, our new sister arrival, won't change our love to you or wataru or the other siblings." I sigh, "I know that Kana-nii, it's just… I don't know… I have a weird anxious feeling since yesterday."
The patting stop, "I'm sure it's just your feeling Riku." My brother seriously looks at me before grinning, "Maybe you are just anxious to meet her." He tries lightening the mood.
I smile back, "Yeah, maybe."
The rest of the day passes as me and Kana-nii chat for a while before I finally doze off to dreamland. I was woken up by the sound of someone chatting quietly beside me. I slowly open my eyes.
"Hmm…" I turned my head to the voice, "Io-nii, Loui-nii."
Both heads immediately focus on me, "Ri-chan, good evening." Loui-nii smiles sweetly,"How are you."
I slowly push myself into sitting position, "Evening." Yawning, "I'm feeling much better."
"That's good to hear." Io-nii smile.
"Where is the other?"
"They are upstairs, preparing little sister room." Loui-nii reply.
Suddenly my stomach growls, causing me to blush.
"Do you want something to eat?" Io-nii ask, already standing up, "I could get something from the kitchen."
I grab him, "Can I eat in the dining, I'm feeling much better." I look at him with my best puppy eye.
They both look at each other, trying to decide whether it's a good thing or not to bring me up to the living room for dinner. Finally the turn to looks at me again.
"Are you sure, you're feeling better?" Io-nii stare at me seriously, "You know Masa-nii is going to have a fit if your fever rise up again."
Before I could reply, Loui-nii come to my rescue. "I'm sure Ri-chan will be okay with having dinner with us. You must be bored, right Ri-chan." I'm so glad that Loui-nii understand me, I flash him a smile and nod.
Io-nii sigh and nod, "Fine, but if you are feeling worse, you will tell me. Understand?"
Nodding at his request, I move to get out from the bed. Loui-nii and Io-nii stand beside me, guarding me in case I'm dizzy and fall. Loui-nii fetches my soft, blue cardigan and put it on my shoulder. "Keep warm nee~ Ri-chan."
The trek to the living room is short but upon reaching there, I was breathing heavily like I was running a marathon. I have to stop for a while to catch my breath; this of course causes my brother to worry.
"Riku." Io-nii is holding my arm to steady me, "You okay?"
"I'm…fine." After a while I feel better, but I feel lightheaded. "I know if I say something, they will force me to go back."
"I'm okay, let's go. I'm starving." I lied.
We go down and I see almost all my brothers are there.
"Riku." Masa-nii came over and crouch in front of me, "Are you feeling alright?" He holds both of my hand, looking concerned.
Although I'm still feeling a bit lightheaded, I tried to convince my brother, "Uhn, I'm feeling okay." I feel bad for my little lie but I can't help it.
"Masa-nii, I'm sure Riku is strong enough to have dinner with all of us. Nee~Riku." Ukyou-nii winks at me.
I nod and grin at him. I look around and realized some of my brothers aren't here, "Where is Kana-nii, Tsuba-nii, Azu-nii, and Yu-nii?"
"They are cleaning Natsume room right now, but I'm sure they will come down in a few minute." Masa-nii guides me to the dining table and I sit down.
Wataru is on my left looking cheerful as usual, "Are you feeling alright Ri-chan."
"I'm fine Wataru, how's school?" Wataru immediately launch into a storyteller mode, telling me everything he experience at school. I sit there listening to him patiently. My older brothers' smiles at our interaction.
"Alright Wataru, that's enough story for now. Riku needs to eat." Ukyou-nii put a bowl of porridge.
"Thank you, Ukyou-nii." Ukyou-nii smiles and pat my head, its seems I received a lot of petting today.
Just as I'm about to eat, the rest of my brothers come in.
"Ara, Riku." Tsuba-nii come over and sits on my right. "Are you feeling better now?"
My mouth is full so I nod instead, "Tsubaki, leave Riku alone. He's eating." Azu-nii sits next to Tsuba-nii as usual. "I'm glad, you are feeling better."
Dinner passes on smoothly, my brothers talks different topics, from my other brother Hika-nii and Natsu-nii, My soon to be sister, my famous brother Futo-nii, and our parent. I listen to them chattering while focusing on keeping my food down.
Suddenly I was hit with a wave of nausea; I stand up immediately and run into the bathroom. All my brothers are startled but they immediately followed me.
I threw up all the food I managed to eat. I feel my brothers crowding the door but I couldn't bring myself to assure them. They are talking but I cannot follow their conversation, its all muddled like my ear is being stuffed with cotton. All of the sudden, I feel my muscle cramping up. I begin to shake uncontrollably.
"RIKU!" I hear my name before darkness consume me.
Asahina Brother PoV
"RIKU!" Masaomi yell, catching his brother who is convulsing. He is holding his brother body, so he wouldn't harm himself. Luckily their bathroom is big enough.
"He's having a seizure!" Masaomi yelled.
"Ukyou prepare the car, Kaname help me hold Riku's legs. Tsubaki, Azusa fetch some towel and water, Iori and Louis go and grab a blanket." Masaomi yells, already in doctor mode. "Yusuke, take Wataru and go to the living." Yusuke hesitate, "NOW!" That seems to startle Yusuke as he pull his youngest brother, who is crying, out of the bathroom.
Masaomi focuses back on Riku, his seizure is getting better. He turns his brother to his side, to ease his breathing circulation. His brothers head is still on his lap, caressing his hair to sooth his abby brother. Kaname look stricken, so Masaomi reassure him, "Kaname, Riku will be okay. His seizure almost stop."
"But… he never has seizure before." Kaname voice tremble slightly. Masaomi doesn't have a reply to that.
The rest of his brothers come back bringing their assigned items.
Masaomi enveloped Riku into the blanket to keep him warm and put the towel on his forehead. The seizure has caused the fever to come back in full strength.
"Masa-nii, the car is ready." Ukyou comes back panting, since he went down using the stairs as the elevator was too slow.
Masaomi nodded, "Thank you Ukyou. Kaname, come and help me bring Riku to the car." Kaname nod and come over to carry his brother to the car.
"Tsubaki, Azusa I will leave the house to you." Receiving a nod from the twins. "Alright Masa-nii, contact us when you receive the result." Azusa said.
Masaomi nod in reply and went to reassure his youngest brother before going down to the car. The rest of the brothers' watch as the car speed off. All hoping that there is nothing wrong with their brother.
