In Finnish, it's akvaarium (I quess? Look, I can't even speak my first language XD) so i just quessed... SORRY IF IT'S WRONG
Chapter 13: Three new family members, oh the joy
Seriously, can you imagine your own brother getting you a date without asking or even saying you anything? Well, my brother did that. I know he meant nothing bad and thought I need a girlfriend etc. etc. but still, he asked a girl from his class if she wanted to go on a double date with me, Akaito and Mikuo and she immediately said yes since she apparently had a crush on me. Why? Why does everyone like me? Why can't a single person hate me?
Anyway, I was too tired to say no, so here I was, sitting in a restaurant next to a girl I didn't know, Akaito and Mikuo sitting in front of me. Akaito's other hand was loosely on Mikuo's shoulder (the one that was further from Akaito) and in other hand, he had a glass of cola. I bet that Aika, my date, wanted me to put my arm like that too, but hell no, I wasn't going to do that.
"...so, I told her I was gay, and for moment she was like 'what' and then she ran away. Can you imagine? That was so-freaking-hilarious!" Akaito explained something about girl who had asked him out.
"Niisan, should you really say it like that? Poor girl, she must've been upset", I said and took another bite of pizza. Akaito laughed and said the girl had afterwards told him that it had been just a bet with her friends. But I thought it was just a made-up reason so she wouldn't lose her face.
"And besides, it's oniisama to you", he added. Like hell I'd use that!
"I will never call you oniisama, forget it", I answered and my date giggled. Well, I quess the 'brotherly love' between me and Akaito was pretty funny. Not that I'd ever admit it out loud. Ever.
"Hey, you wanna go to arcade after this?" Mikuo asked and leaned a little closer to Akaito. Aika nodded and I sighed. I really wanted to leave as fast as I could, but I couldn't say anything since it was three against one. Shit, why does Akaito have to be such an idiot? Besides, after the date of Gakupo's and mine, he saw us kissing. Wouldn't that make him think I have a relationship with someone already? Dammit...
We finished our food and left the restaurant. As we walked to the arcade, Aika complained that she was cold, probably wanting me to give her my jacket or something. But hey, who would be cold then? No way I'd give her my jacket... Or maybe she wanted me to put my hand on her waist like Akaito did to Mikuo. And that was so not gonna happen!
At arcade, we played some games, as people usually do in arcade. After that, Aiko suggested even more stereotype place for a date; aquarium-place, you know a place with fishes in aquariums. Everyone - except for me - agreed so after one hour at arcade we went to the aquarium. It was full of couples since it was saturday and there were also many kids staring at the fishes.
"Haaaa... It's been so long since I was in a place like this last time..." Mikuo sighed. Akaito put his hand on his hip and kissed his cheek. Mikuo giggled and Aika glanced at me jealously. I wanted to yell her 'Bitch, we don't even know each other so can't you just fuck off and leave me alone?!' but that would've been too rude, even from me.
"Akaito, long time no see!" said an unfamiliar voice next to us. I turned, being sure I would see Akaito's ex, but it wasn't. Well, of course I couldn't know every ex of Akaito since he had so many of them, but from Akaito's face, I could tell it wasn't anyone who he had slept with.
"Nigaito! It's been years! Oh, Kaito, you haven't met him yet, haven't you?" Akaito said and hugged the green-haired man. Nigaito must've been younger than me, since he was shorter and the way he talked was a little childish. Not much, but little.
"Hi. I'm Nigaito", he said and shaked my hand. His smile got wider when he added: "I'm your cousin."
I was shocked. I had a cousin? And Akaito had seen him but I hadn't? What the hell? I asked the latter question from Akaito.
"Well, it's just that you never had a chance to see them."
"Them?"
Nigaito, who was now quite uncomfortable, explained: "I have too big brothers. Taito is 26 and Kikaito is 20. I'm 19."
"You're older than me?! But... Why didn't I know about you?"
"Well, you never got a chance to meet us, like Akaito-kun said. And when we were going to visit, we suddenly had to go to Europe. And when we got back, our aunt - your mother - was in hospital and telling you about us would've shocked you even more, so we decided to wait. And then, when we finally got a chance, Taito's close friend died and we all were too sad to even meet you. I'm really sorry about it, but at least you get to see us now", Nigaito said.
I remained silent. It was too much information for me. I had three cousins I didn't know about, one of them was two years older than me but looked five years younger and... Why were they here anyway?
"Why did you come here?" Mikuo asked for me, clinging on Akaito even more.
"Well, Taito designed this aquarium, so we all came to see it. Taito and Kikaito are in the café right now, but they should come soon."
I nodded. Then Nigaito smiled and noted that Akaito finally got a girlfriend. At that, Mikuo's smiled dropped and he became scarier than I had ever seen. Akaito quickly corrected Nigaito, who was startled because of Mikuo's reaction. He recovered from shock soon, and asked if Aika was my girlfriend.
"No! Akaito just..." and I explained everything.
Not long after telling Nigaito the truth, two men walked to us. The taller one had dark hair and black eyepatch and the other was blonde and had unusual golden eyes.
"Akaitoooooo!" Mr. Blonde said and ran to hug Akaito, not really noticing Mikuo, who quickly dodged so he wouldn't be part of the hug. Mr. Scary Eyepatch stepped in front of Akaito and picked the blonde up by his yellow scarf. Mr. Blonde whimpered when he was lifted from Akaito.
"Kikaito, how many times have I told you not to do that!" Mr. Scary Eyepatch, a.k.a Taito, said.
"I don't know, I didn't count!" Kikaito squealed. It actually sounded really odd because he had such a low voice and yet he acted all cute. He had lower voice than Akaito!
"Taito, put him down", Nigaito said calmly to his older brother. I couldn't be not noticing that Taito had lots of bandages. I wonder what happened to him... Well, it's probably nothing...
"Hi Taito", Akaito said. Mikuo, who was on the floor because of Kikaito, glared at the three brothers. And Aika... I hadn't even paid any attention to her. She was just there, being completely useless.
"Aren't you too young to design an aquarium?" Akaito asked from Taito. He just shrugged his shoulders and said it seemed to work. And it really did, since the place looked beautiful.
"Hey, what if the six of us" (No Aika? Fine by me!) "go to our place? I'm sure mom and dad want to see you", Akaito suggested. "That's a great idea! We were actually going to stop by anyway", Nigaito answered and we started to walk out of the building. As we walked, I heard someone yelling.
"Hey! You're not gonna leave me, aren't you?" Aika said. She was red from anger and I was happy about it. I didn't like that bitch anyway.
"Sorry, Aika-san, see ya!" I yelled back and waved, turning my back and stepping outside. I laughed in my mind because of the girl's expression. It was fucking hilarious!
When we got home, my parents were surprised but happy. Mom made some tea immediately and also offered brownies she had made earlier today.
"So, why haven't we heard of you in so long time? And why didn't Hisao and Chiharu come, it would've been nice to chat for long time", mom said as she poured some green tea in our cups. Suddenly the mood went down the hill and our cousins looked at the ground (or the table, since we were all sitting around it)
"The aquarium wasn't the only reason why we came", Nigaito whispered. Dad looked at them curiously. What could've it been? The next words of Nigaito were whispered so quietly that I could only hear one word. "Dead."
Akaito asked him to repeat, and now it was easier to hear, even though Nigaito had started to cry.
"They're dead... They will never come back..." He started to cry against Taito's shoulder. The latter stroked his brother's soft hair and whispered something into his ear. I couldn't believe it. I just found out about them, and they were dead. What the hell was this supposed to mean? I seriously didn't get it. Mikuo, who was slightly uncomfortable since he was only one who didn't belong to the family, was particually sitting on Akaito's lap because of their deep embrace.
"H- how did it happen?" dad asked. He was shocked because of his brother's death, and I understood. I couldn't even think if Akaito died.
"You can see Taito's bandages and eyepatch... They are from an accident about two months ago. We were all in the car, whole family. We were going to buy Taito a present, since it was his birthday. And then a truck hit the car... Mom and dad lose their lifes, a piece of glass stabbed Taito in eye and we all got badly injured. Nigaito was unconcious and we didn't know what to do. Taito couldn't move, he was bleeding everywhere and he was literally crushed. My both legs were broken and I hit my head and after that, I don't really remember anything. Only screaming, blood and smell of burning metal..." Kikaito explained, shivering at the memory.
"We were taken to the hospital, but they couldn't save our parents. Taito barely survived, he was injured really badly, worse than us... I wish I would've died with them." Nigaito sobbed and closed his eyes.
"That's not all... I'm only one who's working and we - or at least they - can't live on our own", Taito added.
Mom was silent for a second, but then burst into tears. Dad tried to comfort her, but was sobbing himslef too. I was crying and hugging my legs. Actually, everyone except for Taito was crying. I quess he was crying inside, but didn't want to show any weakness to his brothers whom he needed to protect.
We were like that for half an hour, but then dad suggested that we should prepare rooms for them. Soon it was all set: Kikaito slept in Akaito's room and Nigaito in mine, and Taito slept on couch, even though mom protested it.
For rest of the day, we did really nothing. Mikuo left because he was an intruder, even though Akaito wanted him to stay. I once quietly suggested that we would watch a movie, but no one really wanted to, including me.
At night, I woke up at Nigaito talking in his sleep. I could hear things like 'don't leave' and 'please' and some sobbing. I tried to wake him up, but it didn't work. I pitied him.
I knew I couldn't sleep anymore, so I decided to wash my face in bathroom. Unfortunately, I wasn't the only one there.
"Taito? What are you doing here?" I asked and yawned. He glanced at me and muttered something about changing the bandages. There was some blood on the floor, screaming about opened wounds. There was still blood dripping from his back, so I suggested that I would help him. He obvioulsy was too tired to do anything himself, so he agreed.
I unwrapped the blood-stained bandages first from his upper body. I could see that he was really pale and that the wounds were still quite serious. I stopped the bleeding with a towel and found some clean white bandages.
When I started to wrap the new bandages around him, he winced a little, but since it would've hurt his pride, I didn't say anything. Soon I was done with his arms too. There were not-too-pretty bruises in his neck too, which was probably why he had covered the neck with bandages too, so I did the same.
When I was finished, I said: "I'm not very good at things like that, but I hope you're satisfied. I tried to be really careful..."
"Don't worry, it's fine", he answered. I looked curiously at his remaining eye. He really had beautiful eyes- I mean eye, of course. He was handsome, he had slightly taller hair than me, he was tall, he had nice voice, nice body (let's forget I said the last one okay? I'm not gay or anything)... Everything in him made girls' dreams come true.
"Hey... I'm really sorry. We just come here, tell you about us and then about death of our parents and stay here on top of that. You probably feel really upset", he muttered. I had a ghost of a smile on my lips when I answered: "No, it's okay. My life isn't that easy anyway."
"How so?" he asked. He showed no emotions, but I could tell that he was curious. For some reason, I felt like could trust him even more than Meito or Len, or even Akaito. So I told him. I told him everything about Len, Gakupo, Yuu... I even told him how I felt about Gakupo. I hadn't told that to anyone yet, so it was pretty big thing to me.
"I don't really know how I feel... I've never been in love with anyone, but when he looks at me, I blush, when he talks to me, my heart starts to race and when he touches me, it's hard to breath. But I'm not sure if he likes me because of what Yuu said, and he seems to be still really close with Megurine-sensei."
He had been listening to me for whole thing and he was good listener.
"If you love someone... you feel it. You know when you love someone. So do you love him?" he said, placing his hand on my shoulder. He was really tall, shorter than Gakupo though, but taller than Meito.
"...I'll let you decide", I answered. I didn't know what made me say it, but I trusted him more than anyone, even though I barely knew him. He was just kind of a person who you know you can trust.
Before he could answer, the door opened. It was Akaito and he was somewhere between mad and confused.
"You... heard?" I simply said.
"At least half of it. And serioulsy, Kamui-sensei? Are you an idiot? He's teacher!"
I was going to say something, but he silenced me with his hand. "You can't be with a teacher, it's a rule! And besides, what's with this Yuu-guy? Because of Kamui, he- " "Akaito-kun, could you please shut up?" Taito said. Akaito glared at him, demanding an answer.
"Everyone else is sleeping, you shoudn't be shouting. And besides, Kaito-kun has a lot more complicated than yours at the moment, and you can't blame him for loving someone."
Akaito was going to yell more, but then he had nothing to say and he left.
"Thanks", I muttered to Taito.
A/N
Aaaaaaand Akaito found out.
Gomen ne, I kept you waiting this long! i've been busy (Read: I started to watch a new anime and I listen to GazettE all the time and I've been reading fanfics of GazettE)
Anyways, what do you think of the-other-Shion-brothers? And especially Taito, because I like him a lot ^^ Oh, and don't worry, there won't be anything going on between Taito and Kaito, unless you really want to, since everyone likes Kaito anyway in this fic and there are already too many of them. And I won't be adding Aika either 'cause I don't like her -.-
And about next week... I'm not gonna update. Yeah... Since it's Christmas next week, I'll be too busy to write, but if i can, I might write an extra short chapter. If i can. But i probably can't. Sorry. and sorry again.
Oh, and now, after 13 chapters, I'm thanking you for the reviews. I thought I'd have about 5 reviews at this time, but I got over 20. So thank you.
Arigato/XieXie/Kiitos/Danke/Tack/Grazie/Merci/THANK YOU (Sorry, I don't know how to say it in many languages -.-')
