Munch-munch-munch (The sounds you make when you eat like you’ve been starving for a century).
Flap-tap-Flap-tap (This is when you feel choked due to rapid intake of food and beat your chest in hopes of getting your food down your throat)
Gulp-gulp-gulp (You drink water to make the above easier)
“Haaaaaaaaahhh…I thought I was going to die”(words of relief since he was saved from a rather interesting way of dying…you know dying from overeating rather than starving…hope he gets a lesson -)
Munch-crunch-crunch-munch(though slower than before still a high paced way of eating…in this case eating fried shrimps made by the chef of the year Setsuna).
Tsur-slurp.(Drinking the miso-soup)
“Hot! Hot! Hot!”
Slurp-slurp-slurp-slurpp(Challenging oneself that,’ it’s NOT HOT ‘and ‘I AM a MAN’)
“…mmp…ph…phuuuuuuuuuu…Setsu-nii Ice-cream ,onegai.”(This is the can’t-bear-it-anymore-face;half-crying+puppy-dog eyes.)
“Phhht….hahahaha..hahahaha”, and this is how you laugh when you see this scene during every meal of your life and to heat things up, this is supposed to be the clumsy side of your little brother who executes everything that he does ‘perfectly’; even that word is understating the meticulous embodiment, the epitome-no-personification of the words TRULY PERFECT, that Kazami was!!
Yes, this was how the publicly acclaimed Ikemen, who according to the rumors is a descendent of a Royal Family from England, has the perfect table manners, is elegant even when he is taking a short nap during the breaks in University and adding to it, the etiquette he was born with, ate while he was with his Beloved Setsu-nii.(>/////<…gap MOE)
His reason, you ask??
”Setsu-nii prepared this for me , no? It’s such a waste to let it get cold, right? I do savor every bite but I do it really fast, it’s called killing two birds with a stone and actually, who are you anyway??”, with a straight and an impeccable stance he will most definitely say this and then in the most charming way will exterminate the existence of the being called you from his life and memory because no one, not even his parents, were allowed to smell much less see what Setsuna prepared for him, this was a NG for him and he won’t tolerate any trespassing.
“Setsu-nii, thank you”, Kazami gave a slight kiss on the hands of his beloved Setsu-nii, to which the latter blushed; Setsuna had brought some stored Ice-cream for Kazami while trying to suppress his feat of laughter so he already had some tears of joy now add some blush to his already porcelain-pale skin.(..sighs…Tengoku XD ).
“Itadakimasu”,Kazami mumbled.(Wolf in sheep’s skin….X3)
“hm?”
“It’s nothing I am just glad that you are with me”, Kazami said with a gentle smile on his face.
‘Phhuuuin’ (sound of blood rising to the head)Setsuna blushed furiously!!
“I am really glad Setsu-nii”,Kazami said with a meaningful grin on his face.What was he thinking??
(…Kazami…shhh….shhhhh!!…ahem!!.I leave it to your astounding imagination!! Meaningful smile)
“….t-too..”
“hm?”
“Me too…I am glad to have Kazu with me too!”,Setsuna managed to say this without fumbling, then again that flushed body getting pinker by the second was the only thing that needed practical explaination.
“Shiteru!…Arigatou Setsu-nii”,(of course Kazami won’t let me say it!!…nice timing Kazami d=(>. Yes, for Setsuna it was natural, this was how things were and are supposed to be from the start. To him this was normal but sometimes, like times like this when he was this close to his Kazu; this normal and the fear of losing it, scared him. Back to the story, about this chain of reactions, Kazami was hurting himself and Setsuna was laughing, isn’t this a bit unnatural and abnormal; considering the fact that Setsuna is in his really-soft-to-Kazami-MODE; Yes, it’s unnatural. Leaving aside the ever growing demon inside Setsuna which wanted to break Kazami and will do anything to get his hand on a vulnerable side of Kazami (..that alter-ego is at it’s limit, right? I mean, he might as well be jealous of the food which made Kazami suffer, don’t you think so?!) , he was a doting brother !! He loved and took care of Kazami in his every need of life so this, not being something that ticked off the bomb in Setsuna is a bit eerie. Well the answer to that is- (…….ARE YOU READY GUYS?!!!……) These brothers already had their LOVERS SPAT on this very issue in the past(-_-‘). It was on the day their parents left for travelling, three years ago. On that day,Setsuna had prepared a huge serving of Omu-rice.Kazami with his impulsiveness; seen only when something is related to Setsuna so, it’s a saved-only-for-my-brother kind of quirk; ate so fast in order to get another serving that he literally choked to death!!To this over-exaggerated and a must-see childish act of his, Kazami was expecting a scolding but when he slightly opened an eye(0_ This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. “Setsu-nii???!!” “Kazu, daijoubu?”,he asked with his tear stained and muffled voice.His hand with the glass of water, which he held in hopes of giving it to Kazami, was shaking violently..it was trembling. “Setsu-nii,you don’t need to cry, it’s not like I am going to die from this much less from the food you made, no?”,Kazami was delighted to see this cute side of his Setsu-nii for such a reason and that too at a time when he least expected it! He got so much hit/damage points that he was in a critical state but his MP bar crossed it’s limit, if this was a game, his character would have certainly felt this kind of unheard-phenomena.He was simply elated by the fluffiness and cuteness and sincerity of his brother, he was genuinely enjoying the situation much to his shock(….and that is how a ‘S’ comes to be…dadadaaa). The ever calm and kind Setsu-nii who didn’t let his feelings show on surface, who thought of others before him and cared a lot about the ones dear to him(…it’s just you, no? Please enlighten me who these ’others’ are…hmph..) “Die?? Baka!!”,Setsuna was truly shocked, he got so angry that he slammed the dining table hard and was about to run away, when Kazami held his hand with a strong grip. “I definitely won’t die!! Shinjite, ne?”,Kazami looked straight into Setsuna’s eyes, those black pearls were the same ones from back then; mysterious yet ingenuous, they were still able to unravel and touch the deepest corners of Setsuna’s heart, though Setsuna’s heart itself had become superficial due to the his self-stated hideousness, still those beautiful and pure set of eyes still made ‘that’ heart of his melt; Setsuna lost all of the energy that was riling inside him, striving to find a path outside and since his knees also gave out, he fell on the floor-wait-no he fell on Kazami’s lap who had pulled him. He fell for Kazami’s magic and charm, all over, once again. “I am s-sorry for lashing out on y-you like that, I….um….so-sorry”, after calming down, Setsuna who had somewhat composed himself said, in a shaky voice. Setsuna knew that Kazami was the assertive type, no matter how much Kazami liked to play the part of a Kind-boy, his acting and face always slipped in front of Setsuna.Setsuna knew this and of course he didn’t take it for granted; he loved pampering Kazami and hence thought of this as his privilege, a only-limited-to-him offer so, usually he let this kind of childish acts pass but today was a bit different. No matter what he thought of himself, he was still the same child, locked inside the house with the dormant body of his mother, who didn’t respond no matter how he called, no matter how any times he called, he apologized not that he had done any mistakes just in hopes that his mother will take him up in her arms just like she always did……back then he didn’t know why his mother was not moving, he was starving and crying, at the age of 4, back then all he felt was anger, disgust, hunger and nausea; the next thing he heard was the mourning and crying sounds of a bunch of relatives who are still unknown to him, even now! “Papa, where is Mama??”, he had innocently asked but- “Mama, you see, went to a faraway place but it’s okay Setsu, Papa is here!! So everything will be fine”,said his father taking him up in his arms patting his head. Setsuna didn’t ask for more, he convinced himself that it was his fault his mother left from then on he locked his heart and never did any mistakes, he became the ideal child; never complaining, always patient and caring. He was scared of making mistakes, what if, his father also left him, he was scared of being alone and hence stayed alone so as not to trouble his father. Ironic, isn’t it?!When Kazami came to his life, he decided to protect him, to give Kazami the ideal future he had dreamt of! Just now, when Kazami almost choked the faint lingering sounds that had stayed with him, the sounds of her mother choking herself with the medicines escalated inside him, he got scared, he could see the shadows of his past and screamed and screamed in that abyss but to no avail.This time too, he didn’t want to face it so,he instinctively tried to run away but Kazami saved him, yet again!! “Are you mad at me, Setsu-nii”,Kazami asked while embracing Setsuna’s trembling body in his arms. “…………..no.I am sorry for my earlier conduct. I am fine now you can let go of me”,Setsuna said firmly with a face devoid of any emotion, trying to get away from Kazami.He didn’t want to show his weakness, he didn’t want to face Kazami. “I’ll never leave you, Setsu-nii.Even if someone threw me into the deepest parts of hell, believe me on this, even if I have to crawl my way up, I am going to come back to you, so you don’t have to worry, I will always love you,I will be always there for you.”Kazami said giving no hints of loosening the grip over Setsuna. “..Promise”, Setsuna was a simple kid, he didn’t expect anything from anyone but still he loved whatever Kazami said and did for him.When he heard Kazami say that he won’t be leaving him he didn’t doubt him and all he needed to bind himself to Kazami once again was a simple promise. “hm!! Pinky promise”Kazami returned to his childish persona. Kazami promised him and ended it with the usual “Yakusoku no chuu <3”, but rather that touching the thumb he literally kissed Setsuna(….the Kindergarten-one…T.T), it’s something that he still does, even now!! (x3) …….BACK to the present………… After their lunch was over, they decided to watch a movie but since Kazami got bored he decided to sleep, leading to the current situation. Setsuna relaxed on the sofa; patting and ruffling the hairs of Kazami who was using his lap as his pillows, he said something along the lines of “It’s my birth right”,”Setsu-nii’s laps are soft and comfortable”and “Dame?”,the last request was with a puppy-dog face and complimenting eyes.(>/// “Which reminds me Setsu-nii..” “hm?” “Back then, you said something about being a realist, right? Why did you say that?” “hm??” “Forget it, it’s nothing!!” “??” ……………………………………. [3 years ago] [Sometime after the incident ] [“I am a realist when it comes to life you know!”] [“What do you mean,Setsu-nii?”] [“hm??”] [“??”] [“???”] [Pffffttt…hahahahahaha][………hahahahahaha] [This scene happened back then, but since it ended merrily no one tries to delve into what Setsuna was thinking back then!! So, as the writer I decided to take it upon myself to decipher the code words “I am a realist when it comes to life you know!” foy you!!] { I am a realist when it comes to life you know! If by any chance, someone tried to push you into the abyss…well actually the chances are very low as, before this happens I would have already exorcised him inside his/her mother’s womb. Well, life doesn’t always go the way you want it to, right?? So if anything does happen, rather than WAITING for you, I will prefer going to you so, you should wait for me to dive straight into the hell for you, ne?. Kazami, sorry but I won’t be letting you go, lets be together forever,ne?} (I am glad to write DARK stuff again) (TBC)
