Chapter 6: Retorting Brotherhood

Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

Until now, I never realized just how annoying my clock really was. The ticking never ceased. It wasn't supposed to, but I felt as if sanity was leaving my body and flying out of the open window.

Sighing, I forced the attention I was giving to the clock on Taichi. It was a little over three hours after our punishment was laid, and Taichi was still not talking to me. He had glared at me for the first hour afterwards, but then we turned out the light to sleep.

We were both wide awake.

Are you ever going to talk to me again? I asked.



I'm sorry. Why won't you?

Do you have any idea what it's like to have your parents walk in on you while shagging? Taichi asked with a shaking voice. I suddenly realized he had been crying.

Well, no, I admitted, sighing.

Then don't assume.

I never did.

If you hadn't been caught smoking, none of this would have happened! He hissed.

We have been through this! I snapped, They would have caught you no matter what because if I hadn't been there, they would have gone inside our room to check up on us! It was your fault for keeping Nanami in our room for so long!

Taichi never retorted. He didn't accept it the first three times when we went over this, and he wasn't about to anyway. If I knew my brother well, he didn't like being defeated. Being wrong.

I whispered. I

Taichi sighed loudly. I'm not mad at you anymore.

Even with that reassurance, it didn't stop the tears that were falling down my face. I wanted nothing more than to be held by Taichi, to be soothed like a few nights ago.

Do you need me, Yamato?

Hold me.

Taichi carefully climbed down the wooden ladder of our bunk bed. He crept into my bed and lifted the covers so that I could snuggle in between his legs and sleep there with him. His hand accidentally bumped over the tears that had been falling. Gently, he wiped them away dry before rocking me slowly.

You know that I love you, don't you? His voice was low and husky, and I sensed he was fighting his own tears.

Yes. You know the same, don't you?

Taichi let a sob out that I took for a . I couldn't help but allow my own sobs to fill the air along with his. I needed to cry. It was for everything––everything that I couldn't handle. The unknown.

My beloved brother cried with me until we were too tired to carry on and our throats ached rawly. We then fell into a peaceful sleep in each other's arms.

***

Three weeks together, Taichi stated as he entered the bedroom. Mom and Dad don't want us out there even when we're home. They said to only come out when breakfast, lunch, and dinner is made.

I suppose I should go get my personals out of the washroom if I'm too survive, I said, tossing the covers off my legs.

Oh brother, he said. You're not even going out, so what's the point?

Does school ring a bell? Besides, I'd rather be taken for good to maybe be ungrounded earlier.

Taichi frowned slightly, which caused me to frown. Dearly, I wished I hadn't even said that. Not only was it untrue, but it caused an awkward silence to fall between us.

In an attempt to mend things without speaking of it, I asked, So, what should we do then?

We did get the chemistry lab write up assigned today, Taichi said, sighing.

My memory scanned to first period, when our teacher had assigned the lab write up. Of course, I went with Taichi. The class was oblivious to me, though, and I had almost hurt Taichi's feelings when he had asked me if I wanted to be his partner and I didn't reply because I was in a haze of thinking of the recent night. We hadn't cried together in ages. It was like a new beginning of our brotherhood. Who said I wanted to be brothers with him, though? More than anything I wish I wasn't part of his family, but his best friend only.

––Yamato! Stop zoning out on me!

Oh right. Sorry, I said, smiling apologetically. Then let's do it.

Do it Taichi repeated slowly. He seemed in a trace for a moment or two, before shrugging out of it.

so do you want to then?

I'd love to, he said, immediately taking a seat next to me. Just as his hand fell to mine, a knock on the door startled us.

Hikari poked her head in and she stuck out her tongue. You're lucky Mom and Dad dropped me off at Miyako's house or else I would have seen you naked, Taichi!

Bugger off, was all he said.

After sticking out her tongue and mocking Taichi once more, she obeyed and shut the door. I turned to Taichi and said, You should be glad.

I know.

So, should we get started on our chem then?

Chemistry. Right. His hand left mine and he reached for his bag.

I knew the inclination of what he thought I meant before. It was hard not to see, being a teenager male who's known to sleep around and make crude remarks at times. Taichi is my brother, though. As much as I wanted his hands to roam my body, there was that nagging in the back of my mind that stopped me from going any further.

I think Taichi has the same nagging.

And it's an unspeakable issue.

***

The long hours of doing our homework finally ceased (actually, of me doing the work and Taichi copying while in the midst of carving a latest wood piece) with the two of us sprawled on my bed, limbs tangled within one an other's. I allowed my eyes to drift close briefly, for now it was a little passed ten.

You know, Mr. Dontaoji assigns way too much, Taichi stated. How long were we doing this for?

Two and a half hours. Forget it, though. This semester is almost over anyway and we won't ever have chemistry again.

Thank God, we both chorused. A small smile tugged on my lips. The smile turned into an open mouthed one, which proceeded to allow loud laughter to escape my body. My lithe body could almost not handle the amount of sniggering I was exploiting, for it was shaking uncontrollably with each passing second.

What's so funny? Taichi cried out, laughing softly, probably amused by the unforeseen laughter.

I never was able to answer him because of my state. I rolled onto his stomach, never ceasing to stop because of his shirt. It only muffled the sounds. Briefly, I noticed Taichi's breathing shortening and drawing in breaths rapidly every few seconds. Moreover, I was too hysterical to care and continued to giggle away on Taichi's body.

As I calmed down a touch, I rolled my head away from Taichi's upper body to come face to face with a clear bulge in his pants. I gasped and sat up, scrambling to the opposite side of the bed.

I'm

Taichi deepened madly and turned his head the opposite way. A silence dominated at first, but something within me wanted to console him and repay a favor. As I crawled over to where he was, my hand instinctively moved its way up his thigh, resting on his crotch. The tender lips of his called out to me; I couldn't struggle against nature's disdain against my feelings towards him. Just as my lips were about to make contact with him, a knock on the door and its opening ceased to stop me. Nature always seemed to win.

What in the world are you two doing?

I gasped, but quickly my mind wandered to an excuse. Nothing, Mother. Taichi was stupid enough to get pen on his face while doing homework and can't seem to get it off. I proceeded to lick my thumb and harshly rub Taichi's nose.

Ouch! Would you knock it off? He snapped, And I'm not stupid!

Whatever. I'll never help you to get pen off your face again, then.

You two knock it off, my mother said, sighing. I just wanted to tell you two to get some sleep.

She left abruptly, before anything else could be said on the matter. A silence persisted between the two of us for a moment, me still leaned over Taichi and Taichi staring the other way. Needless to say, he wasn't aroused any longer.

She's rather upset, isn't she?

What do you expect? She found out her eldest isn't a virgin anymore, I said, and couldn't help but allow a chuckle to escape my lips.

Taichi said sulkily, his face dropping grimly, They also saw me completely naked, as well as Nanami. She's never going to talk to me again!

There, there, I said, patting his back softly. You know she only serves as a good fuck.

Like Shun does to you? Taichi inquired. He lifted his head slightly, appearing with a keen hope on his face.

I suppose Although he is annoying, I consider him a friend. Especially one to flirt with, I said smugly, allowing my mind to race with memories of such occurrences.

Oh bother. So what are you going to do about Saturday night?

I'm unsure, I said, a frown falling upon my face. He's going to think I don't want to hang around with him, which is untrue.

Oh my, Yamato! Are you actually, like, falling, like in love with him? Taichi said, using a high pitch voice in mockery, but actually sounding like he was in a lot of agony.

Be quiet. I am not. He's a good fuck and friend––that's all.

Yeah, yeah. I know. You love me so much more anyway, Taichi said, giggling slightly.



He and I both knew it was meant differently than what we perceived it to be outloud. However, this issue is still unspeakable.

I wish it wasn't.


End of Chapter 6

I'm feeling really sad right now because of the death of a person I knew who died tragically in a horse accident. Then, I found out the owner of my old stables has breast cancer and is going to die soon.

Sorry, this isn't my personal journal, so I shouldn't be saying this stuff. Please give me some sort of feedback and I would be eternally grateful.
