Marron sat silently watching his older brother. Carrot sat on the grass, moaning slightly every time he shifted and bumped one of the red whip marks across his back. Marron had already treated the lines on his brother's back with a salve that was meant to numb the pain but it obviously still hurt. Tira had gone a bit to far this time, probably because of the pretty sorceress girl Carrot had flirted with earlier. Marron frowned, he would have to talk to Tira about that, Carrot didn't need to be the one she took out her frustration on.
An odd expression came over his face as he stood up. Carrot had his back to Marron so he jumped slightly when the younger Glace's hand touched his back. Marron brought out the bottle of salve again, smearing some on his fingers. With one hand he raised Carrot's shirt and used the other to apply it.
The red skin of the whip marks where warm against Marron's slick cool fingers and he heard the slight moan his brother gave at the moment of contact. Marron ducked his head, even though he was facing his brother's back, hiding the blush that stained his cheeks. His body reacted to Carrot, he couldn't help it, trying to concentrate on getting salve on all the marks instead of noticing the breathy moans coming from his brother.
"Marron…" Carrot moaned the name, and the younger Glace gasped slightly, his stomach muscles tightened and the blush disappeared from his cheeks as the blood went elsewhere. "That feels nice," His brother continued oblivious to Marron's reaction.
Marron ran his fingers down one of the red marks that was slowly losing its angry color as the salve did its work. He removed his hands reluctantly, knowing he couldn't get away with it much longer. Letting the shirt fall back into place he put a hand on his brother's shoulder. Carrot was too relaxed to notice, the salve had after all a numbing effect on the mind as well. Unable to resist he leaned forward until his chest was barely touching Carrot's back. His lips brushed Carrot's cheek and he heard the soft, 'huh' that spoke Carrot's surprise. Flicking his tongue out he tasted the skin.
"Love you Niisan." He whispered quietly, hopefully too quiet for Carrot to hear. Then standing he put the lid back of the bottle of salve and walked away, pretending not to hear when Carrot came to his senses and called for him to come back.
