Marui and Jackal were walking home from practice, Marui couldn't wait to go home and see his cute little brother, even those he wasn't that little anymore, Marui was fourth teen and Ryoma was eleven now. When Marui arrived home after waving goodbye to Jackal he saw Ryoma on the footsteps with Kariup.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, Ryoma hearing the familiar voice looked up to see the pinkette,"I was watching people go by since one boy fell this morning when I was sweeping the floor.
"Well, that boy must have been stupid." Marui said as he grabbed the boy's hand and went inside the house.
In a bus a boy with messy short hair that comes over his forehead and green eyes was sitting
in his seat when a sudden sneeze come out of no way, "I must be catching a cold." The boy said as he drifted off to sleep.
"Onii-chan, are you hungry?" The boy asked. The boy came out with a plate filled with chicken bun. The pinkette couldn't refuse such a offer from his cute little brother so he took a bun from the plate and put it in his mouth.
"Um…" The boy started speaking again slowly.
"What is it?" Marui asked.
"I asked papa to put me in school."
Marui was happy that Ryoma wanted to go to school but the next sentence was something he didn't like.
"But, I don't want to be in the same school as you."
"What are you saying Ryoma?" Ryoma saw the disappointed look on his older brother but he just didn't want to be in the same school as his brother.
"I want to go to Seigaku." Of all the school that Ryoma had to choose it had to be the one with Tezuka Kunimitsu, the guy that his vice president hated for some unknown reason.
"My father went there so I want to attend there."
After saying those words out there was no way Marui could say no and plus his father probably already register him in the school so there was no point.
"Fine." Marui said. A smile appeared on the younger boy's face and he hugged the older boy.
"But, I don't trust Seigaku." He thought.
Right after their talk, Marui got a call from his father about Ryoma going to school but it wouldn't be until next year so Marui still had time with Ryoma all to himself. Ryoma would be a fresh year next year, the thought of the boy growing up scared him but he was still the same, he hasn't grown much.
Ryoma then remember something that happened this morning so he rushed outside when Marui went to take a shower, there on the footsteps were a small necklace he had found but forgot to grab it after Marui arrived.
"It must be that boy's." He thought.
Flashback
Ryoma and Karupin were outside like always, he was sweeping the floor while Karupin stayed by his side then he saw a boy run by but he fell on the ground by accidently hitting a rock the boy didn't see and his face was now on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Ryoma called out to the boy but there was no response so Ryoma called again, this time the boy got up and turned around to look at Ryoma.
"Sorry, I'm fine." He smiled. Ryoma notice the boy had the same uniform as Marui and a big bag, like the bag Marui would carry for tennis practice.
"Are you a tennis player?" Ryoma asked with curiously in his voice.
"Yea I am and I'm going to be number one in the whole world."He smiled. He then looked at his watch.
"I have to go." He waved to Ryoma and ran off.
Ryoma stood there watching the back of the boy fading away, "It might be hard to be number if your fall on your face." Ryoma looked at Karupin,"Right." He nodded. Ryoma then saw something shinny on the ground, he went and picked it up, and he put to the side since he still had sweeping to do.
End of flashback
Ryoma quickly went back inside and just then he saw Marui coming out from the bath room.
"Onii-chan, can you take this with you tomorrow?" The boy handled the necklace to the older boy.
"What's this?"He asked confused.
"A boy from your school dropped this, this morning, I think he's in tennis club with messy hair like seaweed."
"Seaweed." Marui repeated then it hit him, the new freshman was the boy he was talking about.
"Alright." Marui said taking the necklace from Ryoma.
Ryoma was watching TV alone went Ryoma had Jackal over to practice together, on the TV was a scene where a man and woman were kissing each other. The young boy couldn't take his eyes from the scene, it was what his mother and father did before but different.
"Why did you do that?
"Because I love you."
"You shouldn't lie."
"I love you so I kissed you.
Then suddenly the man kissed the woman on the forehead.
"I never had seen anything like this in TV but he remembers his mother kissing him on his forehead before." Ryoma then switched the tv off then he ran outside to where Marui was playing tennis with Jackal. They were just about finish.
"Bunta oniichan." Ryoma called out, "What is it?" Marui said walking with Jackal toward Ryoma.
"Do you love me?" These questions came out of nowhere.
"Of course I do."
"In TV if you love somebody you kiss them so kiss me to on my forehead then Ryoma's hands moved to his lips.
Marui and Jackal were in shock. Marui turned around to Jackal and gave him a look telling him to leave, and just like that the boy left. Marui picked his brother up, even if he had grown, he was still light as a feather.
"You want me to kiss you." He smirked.
Ryoma nodded his head. Marui moved his lips and on top of the younger boy's forehead as the boy just giggled at it.
"Where else should I kiss you?"
"On TV the man kissed the lady on the ears then the nose and the lips."
"What was he watching? Marui thought. Marui then kissed the boy's ear then nose and was going kiss his lips but stopped when he hear the doorbell ring. He cursed whoever it was that game. Marui put Ryoma down as both went to the door, to Marui's surprised it was his two younger brothers.
"Why are you here?" Marui demanded, rather than asked.
Ryoma looked at the boy and they looked similar to Marui.
"Is this our little brother?" The two said in union.
"Now the peaceful days would be over." Marui thought.
