Let See You Try
Chap 4…
And I apologize for you know, my bad grammar and many other thing…
Warning:-Kouichi and Kouji were not twins.
-Kouichi had a brother complex and 8 year older than Kouji.
-Their parents never divorce.
Kouichi went to see his brother compete with other school Kendo club, of course Kouji school win although it not a perfect win. The University kid wait outside the gym below the tree, he just looking up sees the tree from low angle view. Until someone call him.
"Kouichi." He starts to search the source of the voice and he knows 100% it's not his little brother. "Oi, Kouichi." He spotted, a brunette waving and running toward him, he even had an opportunity to trip in the middle of the way.
"Hey, Kouichi. I never thought you be here"
"Neither do I Takuya."
"What are you doing here?"
'Should I tell him?' Kouichi think for a minute or so.
"What with the long pause?"
"Huh? Oh nothing. You too what are you doing here?"
"Huh me? Well…" Takuya pointing the soccer field "You see my brother attending this school and he join the soccer club, in which he want me to teach him… and his friends." After he finishes the sentences, a ball come and hit the brunette's head. Apparently his bad luck still continues, nobody knows when it will end or will it end?
From the field, two kids run to their place. One of the boys was Tomoki without his usual orange hat and the other one was a little taller than Tomoki, he has a brown hair and wearing soccer uniform.
"Takuya-Niisan are you ok? Oh! Hi Kouichi." Tomoki greet the older boys.
"Tomoki you attend this school too?" Tomoki got the attention from the black hair boy, the younger boy just nod with a smile. While the other kid just takes the ball, he pats the round object with such care.
"Thank goodness, the one who got hit was him." Said the boy with a relief smile.
"WHAT DID YOU MEAN 'HIM', I'M YOUR BIG BROTHER. SHOW SOME RESCPECT, DAMMIT!"
Kouichi was surprise, "He was your little brother?"
"The name Shinya Kanabara, nice to meet you."
"The pleasure is all mine. Hm… You're seems different from someone I know. "Kouichi shake hand the younger boy with a warm smile, while he ignoring the older brunette, who is sulking in front of the tree because nobody care about him.
All the boys was chattering with much joy and happy faces, except Takuya, he the victim of all the topics. They just talk about his bad sides, which make the older brunette more depressing every single word. It's like many burden was on his back, which make his shoulder heavier, his worlds was so dark, two-lamp ghosts appear beside him. Even then just one person Tomoki, who is concern about him, the younger boy pat his shoulder try to comfort him, did it work? No. The others two still talk about his badness, every words like a needle and ever words like an arrow pierce his heart. This was a torture, a mental torture to him; even this was cause by his bad luck. Until one person comes, he will make his day brighter. Well the brunette hopes that he will though.
"Nii-san." A boy with a long hair comes out from the gym and calls the group of four boys.
Kouichi notices his little brother called him, he run to him and greet him with a smile. The University boy was being follow by two other kids, in which leaving a certain brunette alone. Kouichi want to take Kouji home, but the youngest kids want Kouichi took look at them practice until the end. Kouichi doesn't want to disappoint them, so he agrees. In which leave Takuya an opportunity talking with little Kouji.
When the two kids drag the wavy haired boy to the field, Takuya ask Kouji to meet him behind the gym, he need to talk with him alone. Of course Kouichi doesn't know about this appointment.
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
'What should I do, I know it seems strange. I kissed him twice, well maybe he doesn't remember the first one, but still I do it the second one boldly. Then again he not struggling or protesting. Should I tell him, my heart not ready, but my feeling said if don't do it now, I will never have any other chances.'
"Takuya, do you want to talk or not?"
"Ah, yes… Ehm... You see Kouji I know it's sound weird and stuff, but… " Takuya take a deep breathe, "I-I love you."
Kouji take no respond, he just sad flatly, "So?"
"Huh? What did you mean 'So'?"
"You called me just to tell me that? If that the one it just a waste of time, bye." Kouji bow and left him all alone.
'What? He just says 'So'. I'm confessing to him, and he ignores it. Did he know how much courage did I have to say that three words? Either he was dense or just play around with me.''
Kouji distance was farther every seconds.
'No, I will never give up. I will try it again, until he understand what I mean.'
So many days had past, Takuya recover from the shock, and then he determined himself to go to Minamoto's residence. He stops in front of their house, start to prepare for the worst, he gather all his courage and knock the door. When the door open the black wavy hair can be seen, Kouichi is the one who open the door.
"Hi." the brunette started.
"Takuya? What are you doing here?" 'And it's better not to see my little brother or I kick you out.'
"Are you the only one in the house?"
"Yes." Koichi become more curious and serious.
"Great, I really need to talk to you."
"To me?" Takuya nod, Kouichi a little uncomfortable but he still let his best friend come inside; both of them sit in the living room.
"So what did you want to talk about?"
"Er… You see Kouichi when you guys come to Shinya's school, I kinda… er… confess to your brother."
"Huh?"
The brunette face become red and stutters, "You see, I… kinda fell in love w-with your brother. S-so I confess to him, b-but… I think your brother didn't get what I mean… So I want to ask your help, like a little tips or something about why Kouji is… you know…like that."
"He… So you really like him, don't you?" Kouichi eyes is fill with many grudge, his tone become colder.
"K-Kouichi?"
"Tch, I knew it, but I didn't think you have the gust to tell him or me." Kouichi has lost his mind, he laugh sarcastically also when he saw the brunette his eyes were narrowed and the dark aura surrounding him.
Takuya become scared, he got up from his seat and move a little backward, "Ko-Kouichi are you ok?"
Kouichi has snap, "Ok? You think I'm ok? You like my little brother and you already confess to him without telling me! You still think I'm ok?"
"M-maybe?"
"Takuya, your stupidity can be a little too much."
"Hey, I'm here to ask you nicely, but why are you angry to me."
"Oh, you mean you don't know. I try to make you go away from Kouji, but you just keep coming back."
"Y-You tried that? Am I done anything wrong."
"See, even I torture you, you still not notice it."
"Did you hate me?"
"I hate you from when you stole my little brother first kiss, and you kissed him again at the restaurant make me more furious."
"Hey the first one was an accident."
"I don't care, I just didn't like when you near my brother."
Kouichi words make the brunette annoyed and then he starts to yell, "WHAT WITH YOU, YOU JUST LIKE A BIG BROTHER WITH BROTHER COMPLEX!"
"AND WHAT IF I AM!"
As soon as they start to fight Kouji got home, he see the brunette shoes also heard his voice, even thought it louder than usual. He think they just having a talk as well as have fun, so he wanted to go back to his room without disturbing them.
However when he reaches the stairs, suddenly someone hugs him from behind, it was Takuya.
The brunette start to yell again, "I LOVE HIM AND NOTHING CAN STOP ME!"
Kouichi come moreover he grab Kouiji's hand then pull him, he hug his little brother tightly also return Takuya words, "YES THERE IS AND IT'S ME!"
Both of them continue this action again and again, at that moment the victim has lost his patient, "ENOUGH!" One word makes both of them quiet, the younger boy continue, "BOTH OF YOU CAN ARGUE, FIGHTING OR ANYTHIN BUT DON'T DRAG ME INTO THIS!"
Kouji pull both of them to the yard, "IF YOU GUYS WANT TO FIGHT DO IT HERE, AND MAKE UP AS SOON AS IT OVER!" Kouji slam the window furthermore he locks it. Takuya and Kouichi were speechless, the two of them not continuing their fighting nor argument.
They sit quietly for a long time, sometimes Takuya glance to his best friend. Kouichi let out a sigh then start to speak, "So you really like my brother huh?"
"Of course."
"As I suspected."
"You knew?"
"Yup, if not why should I torture you, I mean you are my best friend."
"I thought you hate me."
Kouichi pat the brunette shoulder while sighing, "You have to think about that answer by yourself. Also about earlier..."
"Yes?"
"I guess I can give you my permission."
"REALLY?"
"But you have to follow this rules which I made. First, you have to let me know everything.
Second, you can't fail one class.
Third, you can't force something, which he didn't like.
Fourth, you can't kiss him before he 17 years old.
Fifth, my words are always absolute"
The rules were still going on and on, 'What the heck with those rules' Takuya sweat drop while hearing the rules, in addition he take notes of it. 'Man, this rules was longer than the one in University.'
Kouichi still continue, "Twenty fifth, don't you ever make him cry."
The brunette smile, "I can guarantee I will never break the last one "
"Oh yeah, about the confession. You just need to explain it briefly about your feeling, after that he will answer it."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Just a guess."
As they start to laugh, Kouji open the window, "Great, you guys already make up. What are you laughing about?"
"It's a secret."
Takuya lie in his bed, thinking about Kouichi words. 'Just need to explain it briefly, and how am I gonna do that?' He thinking for a while, then he got an idea. He picks up his phone, then started to dial someone number. "Hello, it's me. Can I ask your help? You see…"
Two days after the phone, Takuya standing at the park, nobody else was there because it was in the middle of the night. He was nervous, looking at his watch again and again, and then he saw someone shadow. That shadow belongs to none other than Kouji.
"My brother said you have something to talk about, so what is it?"
"Er… Kouji, you remember when I said, I-I love you right?"
"Yeah, so? "
"Do you know I confessing to you?"
"Huh?"
"Kouji I love you and it was more than just my best friend's little brother, I really, really love you, and I really like to go out with you, as a couple."
Kouji astonish by the older boy, "Huh? You mean you like me and want me to become your boyfriend?"
"YES."
"B-but… I-I thought… You like me as a friend?"
"Why? I said I love you not like you as a friend."
"Yeah, but Nii-san said that your lack of intelligence and if Takuya said 'I love you' it means that he just want to said you like me as a friend."
"What? Well I know that I was dumb, but I'm not that dumb you know. I still know between love and like and some other stuff like soccer, I… " Kouji quickly cut his sentences "I know, I know, I'm sorry. I didn't think you mean that way."
"It's… ok, after all it was Kouichi fault."
Both of them felt silent, Kouji look at the ground the while time. Takuya felt tense, beside that he thinks it was his fault, maybe he confessing to fast.
"K-kouji, you didn't have to answer it if you don't want to. I know you think I'm weird liking the same gender and younger than me. It's okay you know, I understand."
"Wa-wait, I-I will answer it."
Kouji took a deep breathe," I-I think I also… but I still not sure, it just after you kiss me the other day. I felt something and I don't understand it so well, but I didn't mean to play with your feeling. I just thought maybe I would give it a try."
Takuya lean towards Kouji, he collide his forehead with the little boy then smile, "Thank you for giving me a chance."
Kouji blushing hard "S-sure."
'He so cute, damn you Kouichi, if you not making those rules I already kiss him right now.'
Not so far from where the new couple, Kouichi hide behind the tree, he saw everything, he chuckle first and praise Takuya, "Well it's a good thing you follow the rules Takuya, if not I will make you regret it. "
