CHAPTER 4

"…Suya…ake up…"

"Mnm?"

Tetsuya opened his sleepy eyes and was greeted by his beautiful mother who smiled at him.

"Good morning baby"

Tsukimi said in her ever so sweet voice. Tetsuya sat up and greeted his mother drowsily. Her mother chuckled at him and picked him up and carries him to the bathroom. After she washed Tetsuya, the latter tried to dry himself by the soft towel his mother covered him with. They went out of the bathroom and put down Tetsuya on the bed as Tsukimi started to dry her son's hair.

"I heard that you've been playing outside with Daiki-kun these past few days"

She asked softly as she finished drying Tetsuya and picked up a shirt. The tealette looked up at her and nervously nodded his head.

"I-I'm sorry about that okaa-san, I'm sorry for not telling you that instead of reading, I go play with Daiki onii-san. But, I promise before I go to bed I always read books so, please don't be mad at me"

Tetsuya said sadly. His voice trembling slightly, Tsukimi blinked at him and chuckled as she hugged her angel and placed him on her lap.

"Of course I'm not mad at you baby. In fact I'm happy that you've been going outside and playing with your onii-chan. And I'll never be mad at my angel"

She said as she planted a gentle kiss on her baby's forehead.

"So tell me. What have you and Daiki onii-chan have been playing?"

She smiled softly. Tetsuya's eyes sparkled at her mother.

"Daiki onii-san has been teaching me basketball. It was so fun; playing basketball is fun and playing it with Daiki onii-san made it even more fun"

Tsukimi smiled happily since it has been the first time she had heard so much enthusiasm in her son's voice.

"Didn't you know, your father used to play basketball too? In his high school days"

Tsukimi said softly, she felt sad and happy at the same time, since it was the reason why they had met. A basketball fanatic as herself and a hot, nice and a good player such as his beloved Ryousuke, Tsukimi looked at his baby lovingly and ruffled his soft hair. After he heard that his father used to play basketball Tetsuya felt proud.

"Tou-san… Is he a really a good player? Is Tou-san cool like Daiki onii-san? When Daiki onii-san plays basketball he looks super cool"

Tsukimi grinned at his angel.

"He is the BEST! I don't know how cool Daiki onii-chan is when playing, but I could tell you baby, Tou-chan is the coolest when he is playing basketball. It's like he owns the court"

Tsukimi blushed as she had remembered how they had met. Tetsuya had not noticed the blush or the longing look on his mother as he was also busy imagining his father.

"He must be really cool then"

Tetsuya unconsciously whispered. Tsukimi looked at her son and ruffled his hair.

"Yes he did! But, we better get down now. They must have been waiting for us"

Tsukimi grinned as he stood up with Tetsuya on her arms. The little tealette tugged on his mother's sleeve asking to be put down. Tsukimi complied and put down the little angel. Tetsuya walked towards the other side of the bed and get his plushie. After he got the plushie he ran towards his mother and grabbed her hand. The duo then left the room and went downstairs. They headed towards the dining room and to their seats.

"Good morning Tsukimi. Good moning Tetsuya"

Akira greeted the duo Tsukimi smiled at him and planted a soft kiss on his husband's lips.

"Good morning to you too, Anata"

Tsukimi happily said. Tetsuya nodded his head and shyly greeted his step father.

"Good morning Otou-san"

"G'morning Tetsuya"

Tetsuya blinked and looked at the owner of the voice, coming for his left. He nodded his head.

"Good morning Daiki onii-san"

Daiki grinned at his little brother. The other 4 looked at the interaction between the bluenette and the tealette. Seijuro stared at the two as the duo begun a conversation, mostly on Daiki's part who start the conversation, and studying their interaction. Shintaro tried to look unconcerned as he focus on his food but time to time would spare a glance at the duo. Ryouta on the other side not so whispered his shock to the tallest kid in the room who half-heartedly listen to the blonde, but his focus is on the tealette and the bluenette.

After their breakfast they all went to their own businesses; Akira went to his study room to take on some of his works while Tsukimi went to the kitchen to try some baking. The eldest son, Seijuro went to his room to do whatever he is doing, while Shintarou is in their own library reading some educational books, mostly about medicine. Atsushi is in his room, trying out some of his snacks while Ryouta has been stuck in his room same as Seijuro. Daiki and Tetsuya went to their playing ground, the basketball court. Daiki taught his little brother the basics that he's been having difficulty with. It's already been 3 days since they had been playing basketball and there's still not an improvement with Tetsuya.

"Why don't we try shooting 'gain?"

Daiki asked as he looked at Tetsuya who failed dribbling once again. Tetsuya unconsciously pouted and nodded his head. He positioned himself and shoots the ball. Failed. It was too low. Daiki sighed. Tetsuya glanced sadly at his big brother. Daiki sighed. Tetsuya glanced sadly at his big brother. Daiki noticed him and grinned at Tetsuya. He walked towards him and wrapped his arms around the shoulder of the smaller once. Tetsuya shuddered and was about to pushed Daiki away when he got a glance of the wide grin of his big brother.

"Don't look like that. Didn't I told you, I will teach you and make you really gooood basketball player… just like me"

Daiki cheekily said. Tetsuya just stared at his big brother and slowly nodded his head.

"Let's practice again?"

Daiki asked. Tetsuya nodded his head and went to retrieve the ball who went to the far side of the court.

"Hey! Tetsuya! Throw the ball to me"

Daiki shouted at his brother. Tetsuya positioned himself and throw the ball towards Daiki. Both widened their eyes as Daiki caught a very fast ball. Daiki was dumbfounded then brightens up and ran towards his little brother shouting.

"THAT WAS GREAT TETSUYA! IT WAS AWESOME! HOW DID YOU EVEN DO THAT?"

Daiki bombarded him with questions. Tetsuya shook his head and looked at Daiki.

"I-I don't know. I just did it"

Daiki shrugged his shoulder and wrapped his arms around his little brother.

"Well that was great! Let's do that again"

The duo tried again. Tetsuya would pass the ball to Daiki who would shoot it to the ring. After some more time, and they felt tired they had decided to go back inside and to Daiki's persistent went to Tetsuya's room.

"You sure read a lot, huh? Have you finished all these?"

Daiki asked as he flipped the pages of the book he got from Tetsuya's desk. Tetsuya nodded his head.

"I do like to read. It was mostly because of Otou-san. He would always give me books as present. And they were all interesting. But sadly I haven't finished all of them yet"

Tetsuya explained. Daiki placed down the book and went to tetsuya who was standing beside his bed. Daiki sat down on the floor next to Tetsuya and leaned on the bed.

"Tou-san you mean your real old man or our old man?"

Daiki wondered. Tetsuya looked at his big brother confusedly but then followed suit and sat next to his older brother.

"Akira Otou-san"

Tetsuya simply said. Daiki glanced at Tetsuya who was playing with his plushie.

"Where is your real old man? Did he leave you for a new family?"

Daiki asked as he looked at the smaller guy. Tetsuya glanced at him sadly before looking at the floor and nodded his head, gaze not leaving his plushie.

"Tou-san left us. Okaa-san told me that Tou-san won't come back ever again. She said that he's in heaven already. And it was a wonderful place so I shouldn't be sad and worried."

Tetsuya explained. Hint of sadness traced on his voice. Daiki looked at him sadly and shifted his gaze on the room.

"Can you still remember his face?"

Tetsuya shook his head and took off his head and took off his locket hidden on his shirt.

"I haven't met him. But, if not for this or the pictures we have of him I wouldn't know what he looked like"

Tetsuya said as he open the locket and showed it to Daiki. Daiki looked at the locket and examined the picture. There is a guy in the picture. He looked so much like Tetsuya. Same teal colored hair but darker, gentle smile and snow white skin. He looks so beautiful. But he has these sharp green eyes. Daiki looked at Tetsuya.

"He looked so much like you 'xcept the eye"

Daiki told the tealette who looked at the pendant.

"How about Daiki onii-san, where is your real Otou-san and Okaa-san?"

Tetsuya mustered all his courage to ask as his hold on the plushie tightened. Daiki's features change for the slightest second until it went back to his I-don't-care expression.

"Well, same as you. My old man was killed just last year because of our business which is now in our old man's care. The old lady didn't take it well and some things happened and she got all crazy and I was taken to my old man's older brother so here I am. She was then taken to some hospital. I don't know and I don't care"

Daiki's tone changed at his last statement. Tetsuya looked at him hurt.

"S-sorry, I shouldn't have asked"

Tetsuya hugged his plushie tightly closer to him. Daiki placed his hand on his little brother's head and grinned.

"Nah, 'twas nothing. I like it here. And I got to have siblings. But still of course I still love my old man. But as you said they're in a much better place now"

Tetusya looked up at his big brother and nodded his head plushie still tightly on his hands.

"Hey, does your old man play basketball? My old man does. He's the one who taught me"
Daiki changed the topic as he saw the still sad look on his little brother. Tetsuya nodded his head this time happily.

"Yes. Okaa-san told me he does and he's also good in it"

Daiki smiled at Tetsuya and ruffled his hair.

"That's it. They must be playing basketball together in heaven, don't you think?"
Daiki wondered. Tetsuya smiled softly and nodded his head. Maybe, they really are.

"Oh, I have a great idea. Why don't we become basketball buddies? That would be cool"

Tetsuya looked at the happy face of Daiki and nodded his head.

"I… could be Daiki onii-san's shadow, since I can't do aything without Daiki onii-san. And you'll be my light"

Daiki brimmed a bright smile and wrapped his arm around Tetsuya's shoulder and pulled him closer to him as he ruffled his hair.

"I like it. I'll just call you Tetsuy since it's shorter. Ya 'kay with that?"

Tetsuya nodded his head. Red tainted on both his cheeks. His bog brother sure is a touchy kind.
