I'm trying my best to finish these!
61. Boisterous
Haruna smiled as she watched her two sons play. They were so similar, but so different. Ryousuke was, and always has been, more outgoing. He wasn't afraid to jump right in with the other kids, showing them that even if he was small he was still just as capable as they were. Sometimes though, he would stay back and play with Haruichi, just the two of them in their own little world.
62. Placid
Haruichi, while it doesn't happen often, is just as (if not more so) scary than Ryousuke when he's angry.
63. Tired
"Go to sleep Haruichi."
"But I'm not-*yawn*-not tired."
Rolling his eyes and setting his bat down, Ryousuke looked over at his little brother. It was obvious the younger boy was almost asleep on his feet, but he was too stubborn to admit it, wanting to stay up with his big brother. Sighing, he put his bat away and picked up the sleepy boy. "Come on, time for bed."
"But 'm no-"
"I am." He faked a yawn, setting Haruichi on the bed. Getting out their pajamas, he smiled when he saw his baby brother fast asleep.
64. Bliss
Watching Haruichi's cheeks puff out slightly, his sighs of pleasure, and the look of absolute bliss on his face, Ryousuke smiled and snapped a quick picture. Their mother's wrath when she found out he'd caved and indulged his little brother's sweet tooth would be worth it. Flagging down a waiter, he ordered two more pieces. Might as well enjoy it now, since his allowance would undoubtedly be taken away later that night.
65. Neglect
Even with their parents gone most of the time, Haruichi never felt neglected. After all, he had the best big brother in the world with him.
66. Fine
"I'm fine." 'It hurts.' "I'm fine." 'I can't go on.' "I'm fine." 'I'm going to break.' "I'm fine." Haruichi simply smiled a little sadly and hugged his big brother, pretending not to see the tears running down the elder teens face.
67. Question
"Aniki, what does BJ stand for?"
"Bungee Jumping."
"Wa-No it doesn't! It stands for-" Jun cut off, flinching slightly at the look Ryousuke gave him "for…b-beetle juice."
68. Energetic
People would probably call Ryousuke crazy if he told them Haruichi was the more energetic of the two, but then again, they'd never watched him talk about a new game that he'd played or that was coming out soon.
69. Noble
It was a noble act, one that deserved a reward. It was something only the best and bravest could do, and in Haruichi's eyes, something only his big brother could accomplish. Haruna sighed. "Ryousuke, you can't keep eating Haruichi's tomatoes. He needs to learn to eat them on his own." Haruichi leaned over and gave his big brother a kiss on the cheek in thanks.
70. Disgust
They were staring at him. Mocking him. Laying there so innocently. He glared at them, wanting to make them disappear. He was sure there was nothing more evil than them in this world. "Eat your tomatoes Haruichi," Haruna sighed. He pouted up at his mother. "Yucky."
71. Lively
Watching Haruichi play his games was like watching him suddenly come alive. Baseball may be his love, but gaming was his passion. He grew louder, bolder, and seemed more alive as he played. Ryousuke enjoyed keeping his side to himself.
72. Power
Watching his little brother trace his fingers over the controller with a small, sad smile on, Ryousuke felt guilt well up in the pit of his stomach. Words were power, especially with the ones you love. He'd learned that lesson the hard way, and now Haruichi had to live with the price of Ryousuke's misuse of power.
73. Pity
Haruichi bit his lip, holding back from telling his brother to stop hovering. He knew the elder boy felt guilty for what happened, but he hadn't left Haruichi alone since it had happened. As happy as he had been at first, now he just wanted to be alone. He wanted his older brother, but he didn't want his older brother's pity.
74. Humiliation
Humiliating your sibling was a job, if not a requirement. When Haruichi did it, he never realized. When Ryousuke did it, he made sure they were alone. After all, why should others get to see his precious baby brother all flustered?
75. Satisfied
Ryousuke wasn't one to smile at him and tell him that he did a good job. He wasn't one to praise him, or encourage him. He simply did the best he could, setting an example and quietly pushing his little brother higher, harder, and better. And Haruichi was fine with that.
Two more chapters and they'll be finished!
