Something like Suicide

Day Ten - 013

Saturday

Kaoru was awoken by the sound of heavy feet hitting the floor leading to his room. As he groaned, turning over, he only wondered what Syo was up to. Ever since returning home he had been more energetic than normal. It was like he wanted to show to their mother that they should share the same room, that he was ready for school again, and everything else that was often kept just beyond his reach due to illness.

"Kaoru!" He heard his brother just beyond the door. "Wake up! Let's take a walk. Maybe through the park or forest!"

Kaoru groaned and turned over as Syo rambled on. But a small smile formed when he though of the blonde outside his door. His back was probably against the wood, head looking up to the sky. He probably was rambling on with a huge smile of things he wanted to do.

"And on Monday I'm definitely going to school! I haven't seen Fujimoto sensei in a while. He always makes sure that the stuff he sends home with you is really easy to understand." Another knock at the door. "Ne, Kaoru are you listening? Get up!"

Kaoru rustled around in his blanket, turning this way and that, before pushing the stuffy thing off of himself. He really wasn't ready to be awake. "Fine. I'm up." He called through the door.

"Good!" Syo said with excitement, as he jumped up. "So we can go for a walk today? I'll get dressed and ask mom."

Kaoru sighed heavily. He really was glad his brother was feeling better but this was too much for him to handle. He wanted a peaceful weekend, helping Syo catch up on his missing homework so that way he could return to school still being the perfect student all the teachers thought him to be. But no, the elder blonde wanted to waste all of his energy outside. Kaoru couldn't understand it, and the more he tried to the more ridiculous it seemed. Even so, he pulled a sweater over his head and put his pants on.

He paused by the door looking at his small book. Hopefully Syo would wear himself out so he could later write more of his journal turned story. Kaoru realized the more he wrote about those people he didn't like, the ones that mysteriously knew his brother, the more fictional his life sounded.

"Kaoru!" Syo called, waving from the front door jacket already on.

"I'm coming." The younger blonde said.

Otoya yawned loudly as he walked close to Kaoru. It was a very cold morning, though most were since the sun rarely showed it's self to them. Every breathe he took came out in a small white puff. His nose reddened as he tried to bury it further into the deep brown scarf that Reiji insisted he wore. He wanted to whine and complain. But his red eyes glanced over at Kaoru only to see that the blonde was suffering as much as him.

Syo was another story altogether. He bounded off playfully as the snow began to creep down from the gray sky. Not like there wan't enough on the ground to began with. But no, the older of the two blondes ran ahead, playing in the snow as if he were a child. But as the red head remember, Syo didn't often get to play outside. And for as long as Otoya had known the Kurusu family, he couldn't remember a time when Mrs. Kurusu had actually allowed Syo out into the snow.

"Ne, Kaoru." He said, his mind turning to a different subject as Syo ventured further and further away from them. "Did you hear about Fujimoto sensei?"

"No." Kaoru looked at him puzzled.

Otoya, being overly dramatic skid across the snow acting as though he were about to fall from Kaoru's lack of knowledge. "Kaoru, we live in a very small community, how could you not know?"

"Know what?"

Otoya leaned in close to the blonde's ear, hoping the other would not hear him. "His daughter went to visit him yesterday. He apparently had heart failure and no one knew until it was too late."

"So he's..." Kaoru trailed off hoping that he was assuming wrong.

"Yeah." Otoya mumbled.

Kaoru look off towards his bother, who was standing on the edge of the forest. He couldn't help but wonder if that would happen to his brother one day. When no one was around to help him, would he just go? Would his older brother leave him behind?

"Kaoru?" Otoya called, his face slightly worried. The blonde could tell tat his friend was having similar thoughts.

Syo didn't look back at his brother as he stood on the forest's boarder. He didn't need to, he knew that Otoya was distracting him with whatever they were talking about. And he could tell it was serious by just how distracted they were. They didn't even notice him standing just behind the trees, not hidden well at all.

"Syo." The brunette said quietly.

"Eiichi, correct?"

"Yes." The older male grinned at him. "I wanted to inform you the lady of our house would like to request your presence tonight. And by request, I really mean some one will be picking you up tonight, be ready."

"Was it you stalking around outside my window last night?" Syo smiled lightly, he rubbed his numb hands together to warm them a little.

Eiichi's grin widened as he turned away. "Maybe I too, was curious about this human who has grabbed most of the families attention."

The blonde couldn't help but to let out a laugh. "Until tonight then?"

"I'll be waiting." The brunette said, vanishing among the trees.

I'm not going to explain my absence. Lots happened.

Hmm, well I dun like OCs much either, though some are required.

Making a prequel to this story all about Haruka. Her back ground is fun to write with this type of AU. And i can only imagine everyone thinking i spelled her name wrong for most of the story(you guys will see when you read it). I MEANT TO! Well... that will be finished in a few days, check back for it.

Thank you Miracross and Random-BL-Lover for reviewing.
