Uta's Shadow: Alway Compared to One's Brother
Yammy Zeten
"King of Clubs fits you well. After all your strong, powerful, and as thick as a troll."
"How did math tutoring go Yammy?"
Eight year old Uta Zeten looked up from his work as his little brother entered his room.
He put away the advanced calculus text book and greeted his brother.
Uta already knew the answer to his question, but he asked anyway.
It was a pointless wish, but one day he wanted Yammy to say that it went well.
That for once, he hadn't been compared to Uta.
"Awful, Uta. I kept getting problems wrong and Ms. A kept comparing me to you."
Yammy hated tutoring.
Every single day was the same.
Fail and get compared to his genius brother.
Yammy hated it.
"It's ok to get stuff wrong. Your only four. Most four year old aren't learning multiplication and division."
Uta did his best to comfort his brother.
He wished that their parent let Yammy play and have fun like other children.
But instead every day for three hours the four year old was forced into math tutoring.
Learning math far above his level.
And when he failed, he was compared with Uta.
"But Uta, you were learning algebra when you were four."
Uta was amazing.
His big brother was amazing.
He was Yammy's idol.
And the person he longed to one day surpass.
Yet he knew he never would.
"I'm a math genius. Your not, and you don't have to be."
Uta was far from fond of the word genius.
It was a word that labeled him after all.
A label that separated him from his peers.
He hated seeing people try to force that label on to his little brother.
Yammy was no mathematical genius.
And Uta liked it better that way.
He just wish that their parents and teachers could see that.
"But everyone's alway comparing me to you!"
Yammy hated how he was alway being compared to Uta.
How he was alway in his big brothers shadow.
He would never be as good as Uta.
And everyone kept rubbing that fact in his face.
"Then their all idiots for not seeing how awesome you are."
Why did people keep trying to push his little brother to be just like him?
His little brother was awesome just as he was.
Yammy did need to be as good at math as he was.
Yammy wasn't him.
And his little brother was perfect.
Poor Yammy.
I got the idea for Yammy and Uta (You-ta) relationship from Sasuke and Itachi in Naruto. They're relationship is loosely bases on theirs.
One of Yammy's personality traits I haven't really brought up much is his tendency to find people who are better then him in an area and do his best to surpass them, yet at the same time admire them. The reason for it is how he was always compared to his brother as a child.
Hope you guy's enjoyed the chapter.
