The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me
Whenever I fall, you say it best
When you say nothing at all

Chapter 2:
Youichi slowly stepped outside, attempting to caught the attention of the two adults who are talking animatedly with each other. He never saw his older brother talked like this to a girl, because for all he knew, his brother is very aloof with the girls. But seeing his brother like this made him happy because it seems that he likes the girl who Youichi thinks suits him. He coughed when Mikan and Natsume didn't noticed him stepping out of the bathroom and as soon as he did that, the two turned their head on his direction. He smiled widely towards the two.
He walked towards the two.
"Onee-chan, thanks for letting me use the bathroom!" Youichi said happily, bowing his head to show his gratitude to the actress. Mikan chuckled.
"It's nothing, Youichi!" Mikan said happily. Youichi smiled at her and for the second time, jumped towards her again, giving her a big bear hug. Mikan laughed more. "Ne, ne, ne, Onee-chan! Do you have a boyfriend?" Youichi suddenly asked.
Mikan blushed. Natsume twitched. His brother is so straightforward! That's too personal to ask.
"Youichi! Stop asking personal questions!" Natsume said, pulling Youichi away from Mikan. Youichi struggled against Natsume's grip.
"Brother! Let go! I just wanted to asked if she is still single! What's wrong with that?" Youichi asked pouting cutely that made Mikan smiled.
"Well for your information, kiddo, that's too personal to ask. What are you? A paparazzi?" Natsume asked irritably. Youichi rolled his eyes.
"Oh come on brother, don't deny it! I know that you wanted to know if Onee-chan has a boyfriend! Knowing you, you're just afraid or embarrass to asked her so as your little concerned brother, I'm taking the opportunity to ask her for you. You should be thankful enough, big bro!" Youichi said, crossing his arms. Natsume blushed.
"Youichi! What are you saying? I swear, I'm going to murder you once were back home!" Natsume said dangerously yet blushing. Youichi stuck his tongue out at Natsume while Natsume is tempted to pull it, but instead, he just glare at Youichi. Youichi glared back and a glaring contest begins.
Mikan laughed genuinely that made the two Hyuugas stopped glaring at each other and divert their eyes towards the laughing brunette.
"You two are funny!" Mikan said, her hands clutching her stomach. "Youichi, it's not good to provoke your brother! And Natsume-san," Mikan smiled. "it's alright, you don't have to get angry with Youichi."
Natsume looked away still blushing while Youichi smiled happily. "So, Onee-chan, do you have a boyfriend? Do you? Do you?" Youichi asked excitedly, jumping up and down. Mikan patted his head and answered.
"No, I don't have Youichi," And she saw the twinkle that cross Youichi's eyes.
"Yay! So Onee-chan," Youichi started. "Can you be my big bro's girlfriend? Can you? Can you?" He asked excitedly. Mikan blushed as well as Natsume.
"Ano, Youichi-" But Mikan was cut off when Natsume spoke.
"Tsk, look at the time! It's late already, come on Youichi! Let's go home. Mikan-san is tired too so I bet she needs some rest. Come on now, kiddo. Stop being stubborn," Natsume said still blushing. He gathered Youichi to his arms much to Youichi's refusal.
"Eh? But we haven't heard about Onee-chan's answer, big bro!" Youichi shouted, struggling in his big bro's arms. "Waa, onee-chan help me!"
Mikan sweat dropped. Natsume bowed his head, still carrying the struggling Youichi in his arms.
"I'm sorry about my brother's behavior. We'll be going now. It's a pleasure meeting you." Natsume said and started to walked but he stopped when Mikan spoke.
"Take care on your way home Natsume-san, Youichi-kun," Mikan said smiling, although Natsume can't see it because his back is facing hers. "I hope we can meet again someday."
Natsume just nodded and continued to walked away but not before Youichi shouted.
"Mikan-Onee chan! See you next time and I just want you to know that I really want you to be my big-bro's girlfriend! Bye bye!" Youichi waved at Mikan happily, not even scared with the murderous aura coming from Natsume.
Natsume swears to strangle his younger brother later.
Mikan happily slumped back at her sofa again, smiling as she reminisced her meeting with the two Hyuuga boys. Youichi is really funny and he seems to be attached to her even though they met just now. The way he called her 'Onee-chan' made her really very happy for unknown reason. Maybe because she can see the younger brother figure she never had since she is only an only child.
Natsume on the other hand, was sending electric waves throughout her being and whenever she looks at him, her heart skip a beat. She doesn't know why she's getting those kind of reaction with the raven around.
Suddenly, her train of thoughts was cut of by a knock. Did Youichi and Natsume came back? Did they forget something?
She ran towards the door and opened the door happily with a big smile on her face. But her big smile turned into a forced smile as soon as she saw who her visitor is.
"Hi," The visitor said smiling, handing to her the bouquet of sunflowers. "Congratulations. I heard that the concert is a success."
Mikan accepted the bouquet and smiled a little. "Um, thanks Kaname-kun."
"Can I come in?" Kaname asked kindly. "I hope you don't mind."
She blushed because of embarrassment. That's when Mikan realized the she didn't offer him to go inside which is very rude for her to do. "Oh! I'm so rude! Sorry about that Kaname-kun! Of course, you can come in!" Mikan said immediately, moving aside so that Kaname can freely goes inside.
"So, Mikan-chan," Kaname stopped, glancing at her. "What do you think of dinner?"
"Ano, I'm really tired today Kaname-kun," Mikan smiled. "Maybe next time," she declined kindly. Kaname's face fell down with her declination.
"Oh. Is that so?" Kaname said, he gave her a small smile. "What about driving you home instead?"
Mikan smiled awkwardly. She couldn't decline this offer right? Because if she do, he will notice that she's avoiding to be left alone with him. Mikan doesn't want any issues and scandals anymore and for all she knew, she wanted those news about Kaname and her dating to died down. But being the stubborn and persistent guy he is, she knew that it would take long before the whole dating issues to be neglected.
"Well, I guess that would do," She accepted anyways and Kaname smiled widely at her answer.
"Hey, big bro," Youichi glanced at his older brother who is sitting beside him inside the cab, brows meeting and lips in a thin line. He knows that his big brother is irritated or more like mad at him because of his early attitude at Mikan's dressing room. Youichi pouted when Natsume didn't even glanced at him or replied to him. "Are you mad, big bro?"
Natsume didn't replied. He knelt on the cab's seat and pulled Natsume's cheek to gain his attention. Natsume twitched. "Hello, big bro! Knock knock knock! Can you at least talk to me?"
No answer from Natsume.
"Big bro, look, I'm sorry. I just wanted you and onee-chan to get to know each other. I didn't know you'd get mad at me in what I did," Youichi sighed. Natsume looked at his younger brother.
"Youichi, you do know you went overboard earlier right?" Natsume asked, his crimson eyes fixed in Youichi's figure. Youichi nodded his head obediently. "You know it's bad to ask personal question to someone you've just met. That's rude Youichi."
Youichi pouted. "Why is it rude? It's just a simple question. I don't think it could offend or harm anyone!
Natsume shook his head. Sometimes, he wished that Youichi is not stubborn as he is.
"Yeah, it couldn't offend or harm anyone but it's like you're invading the person's privacy by asking questions like that." Natsume answered.
"Eh? I'm just curious brother! It's not my intention to invade someone's privacy. Have you heard of the tagline 'curiosity kills the cat'? I'm like that. I'm a kid, I get curious. What's wrong with that?" Youichi said stubbornly. "Hey driver-san, if I were to asked you about you marital status, would you also think that I'm invading your privacy?" Youichi asked the cab driver who is silently listening to their argument. The cab's driver felt uneasy to be used as an example and be included in the siblings argument. Natsume glared at Youichi.
"Stop it," Natsume hissed. "Don't be stubborn Youichi. You're wrong this time. And you even told her that you wanted her to be my girlfriend. You're impossible."
Youichi sucked the inside of his cheeks. "I'm just telling the truth! I really do want her to be your girlfriend."
"Well for your information, what you said is really embarrassing," Natsume said, gritting his teeth.
"At least I didn't tell a lie," Youichi answered back. Natsume glared at him. "Why are you acting like that, brother? You told me not to lie right? Well, that's why I didn't. I told Onee-chan the truth. The truth that I wanted her to be your girlfriend."
"Well, if you hadn't noticed, you made me embarrass with the way you act kiddo," he hissed.
Youichi just frown. He looked at his older brother and found his upset expression. He felt guilty about it. His big brother is always there for him to support him and give to him whatever he wants and all he did was upset him. He inhaled and exhaled.
"Big bro," Youichi muttered softly. "I'm sorry. I won't do that again."
This is enough for Natsume's expression to softened. He couldn't stay angry at his only family member for so long right? He patted the young boy's head and smiled at him gently. "Alright, I forgive you. Just promise not to do that again."
Youichi beamed a smile and nodded his head.
But like his older brother, he also loves to tease. Yeah, he hates it when he upsets his older brother but on the contrary, he loves to tease his older brother and see his annoyed expression. Well, that's Youichi Hyuuga to you. So to tease his big brother he said,
"Hey big bro," Natsume looked at him. "What do you think of me, playing cupid?"
And this cause for Natsume to wrapped his arm to his younger brother's neck for a headlock, much to Youichi's enjoyment and struggles.
Natsume Hyuuga rose from bed as soon as the alarm clock went off. He stretched his arms and went out of the bed before making his way towards the bathroom to wash his face and change his clothes. After finishing his morning routines, he went downstairs and started cooking his and his younger brother's breakfast. It is weird if a guy knows how to cook but he doesn't have any choice, is he? He needs to learn how to cook because he doesn't want his little brother to get used in take outs or fast foods.
He was about to be finished when he heard footsteps in the stairs and in came in the kitchen door was his little brother Youichi in his Alice Academy uniform and his favorite backpack.
"Morning, brother!" Youichi greeted before putting down his backpack on one of the dinner set's chair. He went to the refrigerator and prepare some fresh milk for himself before settling himself on the dining chair.
Natsume placed a plate of toasted bread, bacon and hot dog in front of Youichi who immediately eat it up. Natsume sat on the chair opposite Youichi and started sipping on his own coffee while reading the daily newspaper.
"Hey, big bro," Youichi muttered, looking at Natsume. "Are you going out today?"
"No," Natsume answered, still eying the newspaper. "Why asked, Youichi?"
Youichi shrugged.
"Nothing brother." He said before drinking his milk. "It's been two weeks since the concert of Onee-chan, don't you miss her brother?" Youichi asked innocently.
Natsume grimaced. "What kind of question is that, Youichi?"
"Just curious, brother! Don't get mad that easily!" Youichi defended before taking the last bite of his food and hop down the chair. "Thanks for the breakfast big bro! I'll be going now."
Natsume nodded. "Take care."
And Youichi walked away, leaving Natsume all alone in their house. A few minutes after Youichi left, Natsume cleaned up the table and went to the living room and turned on the TV. He don't feel like painting today. As soon as he turned on the TV, he stopped. In the television is one of Mikan Sakura's single. He watched carefully as Mikan Sakura sings the song skillfully and dance along with the beat. She was smiling happily at the video that made Natsume's heart pound on his chest. Suddenly, he remembered what Youichi had said.
"It's been two weeks since the concert of Onee-chan, don't you miss her brother?"
Does he miss her? It's impossible to miss someone you just met for one night right? He shook his head and turned off the TV before he stood up. He needs a walk so that he can clear the thoughts in his mind. He grabbed his house keys and jacket then started strolling around the busy town of Tokyo. It's autumn, so somehow, the weather is not that hot.
He walked and walked, not bothering to know where his feet is dragging him. And as he passed one corner, he heard a girl shout and without thinking twice, he ran to where the shout is coming from and when he found the place, he saw 3 drunken guys harassing a girl. Anger rose on his body. Of all things, he doesn't like it when a woman is being harassed.
"You bastards, let go of her!" Natsume shouted in fury. His eyes widened in realization when he saw who the girl is as his eyesight turned black in anger.
Mikan Sakura grunted when she heard her alarm clock. She slowly reached for her alarm clock, still drowsy. She sat on the bed and stretched her arms like a cat and smiled widely. It's her free day today since Hotaru considered in giving her an off for her hard work. She excitedly get out of the bed and went to the bathroom to do her morning routines. She dressed herself with a simple blue dress and put a headband on her long brunette hair and dark shades on her hazel eyes to disguise herself since she decided to walk instead of using her car. The weather today is really nice so a walk would be perfect.
She walked out her unit and started walking. She first stopped on her favorite cafe to grabbed some breakfast. The employees smiled at her when they saw her walking inside. Her friend, Anna, walked towards her to get her order.
"Good Morning Mikan-chan! I'm glad that you stopped by here," Anna said cheerfully. Mikan smiled widely.
"Good Morning to you too, Anna-chan! Well, Hotaru let me have my day off so I'm planning to relax and stroll around Tokyo," Mikan said happily. "Do you want to accompany me?"
Anna's face turned into a apologetic look. "Aw, I would love to but you see, Mikan-chan, we have tons of customers. I couldn't leave. I'm sorry."
Mikan's face feel but soon, she smiled again. "It's alright, I understand!"
"So, what's the order of the biggest star of Japan for today?" Anna said teasingly. Mikan smiled at the title she used to her.
"The usual, Anna-chan. Thank you," She said cheerfully and Anna walked away. When she said usual, it means a slice of chocolate cake and a cold Mocha Frappe. In a few minutes later, her order came and she happily eat it. She left immediately after thanking Anna and started strolling around the city, trying her best to hide her true self from the naked eyes of the other people.
She was enjoying looking around that she didn't notice three drunken guys on her way. Accidentally, she bumped to one of the guys that made her falling on her butt. She moaned in pain before looking up to apologize.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you," Mikan said and stood up. She bow her head to show that she is sorry. She was about to walk away when one of the drunken guys grabbed her wrist.
"Hey, wait. We haven't forgiven you," The guy said, holding her chin. She shivered in fear and tried to struggle with the man's grip but as she struggles, the man's grip becomes tighter. "Don't be scared, we won't hurt. We just want to have fun!"
The other two laughed while her eyes become watery. The next thing she knew, she was pushed in a dark corner and her shades was thrown on the floor. The drunken guys gasped and then smirked.
"So, what we have here? Isn't she the famous Mikan Sakura?" Another guy said. "Aren't we lucky?"
Laughter.
"Please let me go, Misters!" Mikan begged. The drunken guys just laughed more and then, one guy grabbed her arm and pushed her to the wall hard, his huge body towering her small frame. The man grabbed her bag and hand it over to the other two laughing men.
"Not until you satisfied us," the guy said smirking before kissing her neck while tearing off the fabric of her clothes. She shouted for help and the 2 other guys just laughed.
"Help! Someone!" Mikan shouted, both in fear and disgust. Just then, they heard someone shouted that made the guy who's kissing her neck stopped. They looked to the direction of the shout and found a raven-haired guy standing, eyes darkening and fist clenched. Her chest pounded while her tears are flowing on her cheeks.
"I said, let go of her!" Natsume shouted in anger. The guy let go of her and she slowly slide down on the floor, still sobbing. The guy who was holding her a while ago raised his brow towards Natsume.
"Who do you think you are to order me around, young man?" The guy said. "Stop interfering on my business!"
"You're telling me to back off?" Natsume's ruby eyes are burning. "No one had said that to me before because if they did, they will find themselves in a very difficult position or worse, they will be buried alive six foot under the ground!"
And with that, Natsume swiftly run and gave the guy a hard punch that sends him on the floor. He placed his right foot on the guy's stomach that made the guy grimaced in pain.
"If you still want to live, I'm advising the three of you to run from your lives now before I can my mind," Natsume hissed before he hit the guy's chin by his foot. The three quickly left as soon as Natsume released the guy.
When the three was nowhere to be found, he looked back to the sobbing girl his eyes burning in anger. "What the heck are you doing here all alone? Didn't you know that it isn't safe for someone like you strolling around the city? You don't know how dangerous this city is!" He shouted at the sobbing girl.
He didn't know the reason why anger filled him once he saw that she is the one being harassed by the drunken guys. It felt like, his vision become red and he wasn't thinking straight anymore.
Mikan was taken back with his raised voice. He felt guilty as the girl cried harder.
As guilt starts to enveloped his whole being, he knelt in front of the girl and removed his jacket. He wrapped the jacket to her to cover her body which is somehow bare now because of her torn clothes.
Unconsciously, he held her chin up and wiped the tears on the corner of her eyes. "Are you alright?" He said softly, trying hard not to scare her more. And unexpectedly, Mikan threw herself towards Natsume and cried on his shoulder.
"I was...I was...I was scared. They al-almost-" Mikan couldn't say the last as she cried harder on the broad shoulder of the raven. Hesitantly, he wrapped her arms around her small frame, giving her the permission that she could cry on his shoulder.
"It's okay," Natsume tightened his hug. "You're safe now."
Mikan nodded her head as Natsume slowly pushed away himself on her. "I can't leave you here in this condition. I'll bring you back to your house."
They stood up. And that's when Mikan realized that the three drunken guys had brought her bag with them. Now, she can't go back to her house because her house keys is inside her bag, and her cellphone too. Tough luck.
"I don't think I can go back home," Mikan said shyly. Natsume raised his brow in a what-do-you-mean manner. "Those guys took my bag with them and my cellphone and keys are inside it."
Natsume sighed.
"I don't have money with me right now and I left my cellphone at home so we cannot possibly phone someone now," Natsume shook his head. "So, I guess I have no choice but to bring you home so that you can call someone who can help you."
Mikan's nodded her head reluctantly. Natsume smirked.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to do something nasty to you," he said cockily. "Girls wearing polka-dotted underwear is never been my preference. So don't push your luck."
Mikan's eyes widened.
"You-you saw it?" Mikan asked shakily. "Pervert!"
He just chuckled and grabbed her elbow and made their way to the Hyuuga residence.
"Alright, Hotaru. I'll wait for you. Take care on your way. And hey! Don't be so mean, I'm not stupid!" Mikan said through the phone. When Hotaru hang up on her, she ended the call and placed the cellphone in the table. She sighed. She's sure that Hotaru will give her a sermon for being careless.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming her way. Natsume sat on the chair beside her and placed a mug of hot milk on top of the table.
"Here, drink it," Natsume said. Mikan obediently grabbed the hot milk but because of her clumsiness, she accidentally let go of the mug causing it on spill to the table and her hand. She winced in pain.
"Owwww," Mikan muttered.
Adrenaline rush came over Natsume as he grabbed her hands which is now red because of the hot milk that spilled on it. Mikan blushed at the contact and Natsume was oblivious to this fact because his attention is on her hand.
It's not only the contact of their hands that made Mikan blushed but also the fact that their face are inches away from each other. It's just that, Natsume's head are bent down, causing the back of his head to be the only thing that Mikan sees. Her blushed deepened when she felt Natsume gently blow the red mark that form in her hands.
After a few blows, Natsume raised his head, planning to asked her if she's alright. Crimson met auburn. They looked at each others eyes for a few moments, both heart pounding on their chest as silence enveloped the two of them.
Unconsciously, Natsume slowly lean forward his face towards Mikan.
1 INCHES...
Mikan blushed as she saw Natsume's face slowly lean forward. She can't seem to find the willpower to look away or move back.
2 CM...
It went nearer and nearer and Mikan felt her cheeks become hotter as Natsume's lips become nearer, to the point the she can feel his fresh breathe on her face.
1 CM...
Automatically, their eyes closed as they wait for their lips to touch.
0.5 CM...
There lips would touch soon...
BANG! SLAM!
"Brother, I'm home!" Youichi said happily.
There eyes snapped open and acting on cue, Natsume quickly crouched down caressing his own foot. Mikan looked at Natsume curiously, still blushing.
"Ouch! Why the hell did you step on my foot? That hurts, you know!" Natsume shouted, still caressing his foot. Mikan gave him a what-are-you-saying look.
Youichi narrowed her eyes to the girl his brother's with, trying to figure out who is she.
Natsume looked at her in the corner of his eyes, glaring at her and trying to send the unspoken order to her. Mikan seems to get what he wanted to say and act along with him.
"Ah ha, I'm sorry!" Mikan said, trying hard to make her voice sound apologetic. She's not an actress for nothing- Natsume give her that. Natsume sat up straight and pretend that he didn't hear his younger brother's greeting earlier.
"Youichi, you're back," Natsume said, trying to make his voice sounds unsuspicious. "Welcome home."
"Yeah, been here for a while already. What are you doing anyways? And who's that girl brother?" Youichi asked with his eyebrow raised, while tapping his foot impatiently. And as if on cue, Mikan looked back to the young lad and smiled at him sweetly. Youichi's eyes widened and he quickly run towards the two and threw himself on Mikan.
"It's you, Onee-chan!" Youichi said happily. "What are you doing here? And how did you know our house?"
Mikan laughed nervously. She doesn't know what to say. She didn't want to tell this little boy that she was almost raped and his older brother was her knight-and-shining-armor. Isn't that a little embarrassing? She was the damsel-in-distress while Natsume is the knight-and-shining-armor. How sweet. She mentally shook her head to clear her thoughts. Where did that thoughts came from? Damn. She's acting a 5-year-old girl who's obsessed with this fairy tales. And thankfully, Natsume seems to notice her uneasiness as he answered the unanswered question.
"I ran over her while I was strolling the town and she told me that she wants to see you," Natsume said.
Youichi's eyes twinkled. "Really, Onee-chan?"
She nodded her head and smiled. "How are you, little Youichi?"
"I'm fine! Especially that we were able to see each other again!" Youichi said happily, hugging the brunette once again. Mikan laughed and hugged the silver-haired boy back.
Natsume on the other hand, is silently thanking all the Gods that Youichi didn't notice that he was about to kiss the girl in front of her. It's a good thing that he come up with a good plan immediately.
Suddenly, they heard a knock. Natsume stood up and the two followed him. He opened the door and found a raven-haired girl and a blond-guy standing in front of the door. Mikan stepped forward and the blond quickly hugged the brunette.
"I'm glad you're okay, Mikan!" The guy said making Natsume's eyes narrowed. "I went panic when I heard from Imai what had happened to you!" Mikan gently pushed away the blond and gave him a small smile.
"You made us worry, dummy," The raven-haired girl said, smacking the brunette's head making her yelp in pain.
"Hotaru! That hurts!" Mikan said childishly. Suddenly, she remembered that she hasn't introduced Hotaru and Kaname to the two Hyuugas, so she turned around to do the introduction.
"By the way, Natsume, Youichi, this is Hotaru Imai and Kaname Sonou," Mikan said with informality while Natsume just nodded his head in recognition. "And Hotaru, Kaname, this is Natsume and Youichi Hyuuga."
Hotaru just nodded also while Kaname offered his hand for a hand shake towards Natsume. Natsume reluctantly shook his hand.
"Thank you for saving, Mikan," Kaname said. Natsume didn't answered back.
"Who are you, blondie? Why are you hugging Onee-chan a while ago?" Youichi snapped, raising his brow, arms crossed in front of his chest. A vein popped on Kaname's head on the nickname the little boy used. He gave him a fake smile.
"I don't think that's the right way to talk to someone older than you, young man," Kaname said calmly. Youichi just snubbed him.
"Youichi, that's rude. Say sorry to him," Natsume commanded his younger brother. Youichi pouted but sighed.
"Sorry," Youichi said coldly. The blond just nodded his head. Fully aware of the tension between the boys, Hotaru being sharp and intelligent as always, she decided to break the tension.
"Alright Mikan, let's go now. You've been a burden to this two already. They deserve some peace and quiet now after giving them headaches," Hotaru said coldly. She grabbed Mikan's arm to pull her but Mikan pulled back.
"Wait Hotaru! Can I have a calling card?" Mikan said. Hotaru gave her a quizzing look but handed her a calling card nevertheless then walked away. She turned around once again to Youichi and Natsume and smiled at them then bow. "Sorry for being a burden to the two of you."
Natsume just stayed quiet while Youichi face fell down. "Will we meet again, right onee-chan?" Youichi said sadly.
"Yeah, we will Youichi. Don't worry," Mikan said, crouching down to the silver haired boy and gave him one last hug. After she hugged the little boy, she looked at Natsume and smiled at him. "Thanks for everything, Natsume-san. Sorry for the troublesome. And Here," she handed to him the calling card.
Natsume looked at the card in his hand and Youichi hold on his side, tip-toeing to take a glimpse of the card. "What's this Onee-chan?"
"It's Hotaru's calling card. If by any chance you need something, you can contact me through Hotaru and I will gladly helped you." Mikan said and Kaname pulled her. They started walking away. Kaname opened the car door for her and before she can get inside the car, she smiled to the two boys.
And they drove off.
"Okay, big bro. Spill it," Youichi said.
"Spill what?" Natsume asked confused with what his younger brother.
"Oh, do you think I didn't see what happened earlier?" Youichi smirked. "You almost kissed, Onee-chan."
Natsume blushed with that. "What are you saying, Youichi? I don't know what you're talking about!" Natsume shouted, embarrassed that Youichi saw that and annoyed that Youichi is too smart for his own good.
"Yeah right, big bro. And the pigs can fly," Youichi said sarcastically. "I only acted like that so that Onee-chan won't feel uneasy. And I guess I was a good actor after all."
Natsume's eyes twitched and he grabbed Youichi's chubby cheeks and pull it, much to Youichi's yelp. "Ouch, brother! Stop that!"
"So, you were tricking me little brat?" Natsume said, eyes darkened. Youichi shoved his older brother's hand and rubbed his sore cheeks.
"Well, I'm not a Hyuuga for nothing. I'm a genius if I may say so," Youichi said and turned around and walked away but stopped halfway. "By the way big bro," he looked back at Natsume and gave him a smirk. "You're acting skill is bad. You need to polish it BADLY."
And he walked away completely leaving his annoyed older brother while humming an unfamiliar song to himself.
Natsume grunted. He started walking inside the house, slipping the card inside his pocket.
Was his acting that bad that his own little brother didn't buy it? He sighed.
Maybe, Youichi can't be deceive after all.
He is a Hyuuga after all.
But there's one thing he is sure of.
He swore that he didn't like it one bit that Youichi interrupted earlier.
