After a 14-hour shift, I was exhausted. I should have had the house to myself since Totty had mentioned going out with Atsushi.
However, as I approached the house, I could hear crying. I hurried inside and looked around. Todomatsu's shoes were thrown haphazardly against the wall, and I could hear the crying coming from the living room. I rushed to the shoji, and inched it open to peek inside to assess the situation. Inside, Totty was sobbing, holding an ice pack to his left eye. Seeing him like that broke my heart. I quickly opened the door the rest of the way and went to his side.
"Todomatsu! What's wrong, what happened?"
"Oh," he dropped the ice pack and sniffled, rubbing the tears from his eyes. "I f-fell. It was my fault."
Confused by his last statement, I questioned it. "What do you mean 'your fault'? Surely, if you simply fell, no one is at fault."
"R-right," he sniffled again, head still turned away from me.
I sighed, sensing something was up. If he'd truly just fallen, he would've begged me to take care of him. He'd have bruises at every point of impact, perhaps even some scratches. I'd have to check him for further injuries.
"Here," I said, sitting close to him and grabbing the ice pack. "Let me help."
He hesitated, then slowly turned his face towards me.
I gasped, and understood.
The black eye he had been attempting to hide looked exactly like the one he received from Osomatsu during… that time. This was clearly caused by a fist.
Calming my instant rage at the culprit, I gently placed the ice pack over his eye.
"Totty," I said seriously, "please tell me the truth. What. Happened."
I felt bad when he flinched at my tone, but I had to know. The most obvious possibility, an altercation with Atsushi, made my blood boil. I had to know.
Karamatsu used his voice his big brother no-bullshit voice so seldom, it made Todomatsu shiver. This was a command, one which he had to obey; not out of fear, like with Atsushi, but because he knew Karamatsu cared.
"I… sort of, um," he stumbled for words, before letting out a defeated sigh. "I pissed off Atsushi, so he hit me."
The calm state of Karamatsu's face was lost by the rage that burned in his eyes. "He hit you because he was mad?"
"I-it was my fault, Nii-san! He, he was too tired to… you know, and when I told him I was already, um, prepped, he said… he s-said,'' he was fighting back tears. "'Then get fucked', then he hit me and kicked me out so he could sleep. I shouldn't have pushed him when he already said he was too tired. It was my fault."
Karamatsu's jaw flexed, he was clearly clenching his teeth. "He had no right, and no damn reason to hurt you. You just wanted a little love. Is this… the first time he's hit you?"
"N-not… exactly."
"...I should give that bastard a taste of his own medicine. Go against my own beliefs because I believe, in this case, violence will solve something."
"Nii-san, you don't have to do that. Please," Todomatsu felt a fire alight in him. Karamatsu looked good mad.
"Then what am I to do, Todomatsu?"
It struck the youngest, then. His chance. He pulled off his hoodie, allowing Karamatsu to take notice of the handprint bruise around his wrist.
"Love me."
Karamatsu's eyes shifted from anger to confusion. "I do love you," He said as a question.
"No," Totty smiled softly, hands raising to undo the buttons of Karamatsu's button-up. Pushing it off of his shoulders, he climbed onto his lap, straddling him. "Love me, Nii-san…"
Karamatsu paled, then blushed, swallowing thickly, beginning to lean back. Totty grabbed his shoulders before he got too far away.
"Todomat- I, I don't-"
"Shh. Love me. Please," he said, leaning in, delight sparking in his gut when the older failed to keep pulling away.
"But, Ichi… I can't-
"Love me" Todomatsu whispered, lips almost there…
The moment their lips touched, Karamatsu began to reciprocate. He sighed against Totty's mouth, hands finding the other's hips. The youngest couldn't hold back his victorious grin.
"Nii-san, good, good." He moved away only to remove the rest of the clothing from the two, then they both dove back in the second they could.
It was hot, and new, and desperate, a long time coming, thought Todomatsu. Thank God I prepped already. Can't give him time to change his mind.
Sliding off of Karamatsu's thighs, Totty spat on his hand and finally wrapped it around Karamatsu's dick, slicking it up. He repositioned himself, hovering above the throbbing erection. Just as he went to sit down, hands gripped at his waist.
"W-wait-!"
Totty grunted in frustration, ignoring the plea, and seated himself fully in one go. The two moaned together at the sensation. Barely pausing to adjust (Karamatsu's dick was practically the same size as Atsushi's), he started bouncing, pulling Karamatsu's face closer so he could gobble down every sound.
"How is it, Nii-san? You like it with me?"
"S-so… tight!"
"Awe, is your boyfriend too loose for you?"
A gasp att the mention of Karamatsu's official lover stuttered their pace, which Totty was quick to correct.
"I-I've, never…"
"Ah, you bottom, then. Well isn't it nice to actually fuck someone for a change? We can do this again and again if you want to~"
""Mmmh! It's so good! Totty!"
Smug satisfaction at hearing his own name rather than Ichimatsu's had him laughing while he rode the other.
At some point, Karamatsu's grip on his waist and hips tightened, his pace increased, before his release filled his brother. Totty didn't stop bouncing until he finished as well, luckily only seconds later.
The weight of what I'd done washed over me, drowning me. How could I do this?
Before I could speak, Totty did.
"You don't have to say yes, Nii-san. Just don't say no."
He made it sound so easy… Why not make it that easy? This was a temporary thing, and nobody needs to know.
And so, with shame in my heart every time, I claimed him repeatedly over that week.
