Disclaimer: Brother conflict is not MINE!
"…It was so awesome…" Wataru kept on talking, even as he jumped out of the car.
Both Riku and Natsume listened quietly smilling when Wataru makes an exaggerated face or sound effects.
"Wataru, I don't think it was like that." Riku interrupted softly, gaining a cute pout from his little brother.
"But it is, the ranger leaped from the building like superman!" Wataru stated forcefully, unwilling to back down from this comment.
Natsume decided to enter the conversation then, "Alright, less talking more moving. The dining room is 5 minutes away but our walking pace is making it 15 minutes away." He gave a gentle shove at his two brother.
"Natsu-nii, are you going to have dinner with us?" Riku turned at his brother, begging him with his eyes.
Natsume shook his head, "Don't give me that look." Chuckling at his brother dejected expression as his plan fail, "Not today Riku, I have to get back and do more work. Say hi to the others for me."
Wataru and Riku waved him goodbye as he drove his car away from his home residence.
Wataru pulled Riku sleeves, "I wonder whether Natsu-kun know about our new sister."
"Maybe not, I don't know. Anyway lets go up." Riku walk hand in hand with Wataru towards the living room.
Ding the elevator come to a halt as it reached level 5. Riku and Wataru are walking towards the stair when a familiar figure walks up towards them.
"Fuu-tan!" Wataru jumped happily at his singer brother, "When did you get back? How was the tour? It was so amazing! Did you bring any souvenirs?"He bombard his brother with his questions.
Fuuto tsked at his youngest brother teasingly, "Why should I bring you any. I was working you know." But when Wataru gave him the kicked puppy look, he immediately changed his words, "I … I might have bought back something."
Wataru cheered happily, He was about to ask Fuuto again where was his gifts but was cut-off by Fuuto telling him he will give it to him later.
Riku smiled at his siblings interaction, it never fail to cease him how his youngest brother had all of his brothers in his palm. He turned to look at his older brother before greeting him, calmly compare to Wataru, "Welcome back Fuuto-nii, how was Hokaido?"
Fuuto shift his attention to his other brother, "Yo Riku, It was fine." He walks towards Riku, "Heard you got hospitalised, you okay?" He asked gruffly, but his brothers know the underlying worry beneath it.
Riku smiled at that, "I'm fine, it was just the usual fever."
Fuuto hned at that, "All right I'm going off, see ya later."
"Wataru, I'm going to my room kay." After receiving a nod Riku tracks back towards the elevator and down to his room. He slipped the key to his room and turned on the lights, he put his bag beside his study table before sitting down on his chair. Riku was on thinking mode before suddenly his head snapped. Oh no, today is Suba-nii birthday!
Riku immediately stood up and ran back towards the kitchen, finding his second oldest brother already in apron and is preparing to cook dinner.
"Ukyou-nii." Riku said after catching his breath.
Ukyou was surprised to find his second youngest brother out of breath, Riku rarely loses his compuse and usually a very calm kid, "What's wrong Riku, you look like a ghost chased you."
Riku ignored his brother tease, "Are there any ingredient for making a cake?" He asked hopefully, I can't believe I forgot! Riku is probably the only member of the family that is allowed to be in the kitchen.
"No, Ema-san is going out to buy some." Riku sigh in relief before Ukyou next sentence freeze him on the spot, "I asked her to make a birthday cake for him." Ukyou said, not realizing how the aura around his brother turned slightly chill.
Riku cannot believe his ear, sure it may be a small thing, but for him baking a cake for his family member and get praised because it was good is one of Riku's pride. Now his newest family member is taking that away.
Ukyou realized that there was no response from his brother so he turned to look at him. He was surprised to find Riku angry, annoyed, disappointed, and teary face. "Riku, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Ukyou walks toward his brother, he crouches down in front of him, "Hey are you feeling unwell?"
Riku shook his head both time, he didn't trust himself to answer. Knowing that if he opens his lips, he would not be able to control his emotion. "I… I'm going out for a while!" Riku ran without waiting any reply.
Ukyou stumbled in surprise when his usually calm collected brother ran, "Riku!" He yelled to the already gone brother as he struggle to stand up. Ukyou frowned and couldn't help but worry, He didn't know what causing his brother to get upset.
"Ukyou-nii!" Ukyou turned to look at Iori and Kaname who was walking hurriedly towards him.
"We saw Riku running out, he looks upset." Iori said, looking at Ukyou for answers.
"What happen Ukyou-nii?" Kaname asked.
Ukyou sigh, "I don't really know actually, Riku came asking me whether there is ingredient for making a cake and I told him that Ema-san is out buying some and that I asked her to make a cake."
Both Kaname and Iori look at each other, feeling even more confused. It doesn't make sense, from Ukyou story what could have made Riku upset.
"I'll go look for him." Iori offered, he was about to turn to go when Kaname voice stopped him.
"No Iori, let him be for a while. Maybe he need time to cool down." Kaname explained he too is baffled but decided that his brother needed some time before any of them talk to him. "You can go and search for him later, now let's think what could have made him upset."
The brothers stood near the pantry rather than sitting in the sofa, they discuss many possibilities that made Riku upset but none of them make any sense. After a while they gave up and Iori went to look for his upset little brother.
"Ah good afternoon, Iori-san!" Ema greeted him as she walked out from the elevator.
"Good afternoon, Ema-san." He looks at her, bringing a lot of bags. "Do you need any help Ema-san?"
Ema shook his head, "No, I'm sure I'll be okay. Please don't mind me." She said as she walks toward the stair.
Iori left her as soon as he heard his brother offering help.
He went and knocked at Riku's door, "Riku… are you there?"
For a while there was no answer, Iori was about to leave when the door clicked open revealing a downcast Riku.
Iori followed Riku into his room and watches him climbed onto the bed before sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Riku..." Iori called softly, "Won't you tell me what's wrong."
Riku was tempted not to say anything, but something propelled him to, "I'm just angry and sad."
"What made you angry and sad?" Iori asked, putting one hand on his brother shoulder to roll him so that he could look at his brother.
Red rimmed eye look at Iori.
Hahaha cliffhanger… anyway, Please read and review!
