Naofumi was highly competent at work. But he was also an exceptionally considerate person in private. He had handled the situation with Tasuku calmly, making sure that Kairi wouldn’t be chastised later for what his brother had seen.
―—There aren’t many people like Tokiya-san.
Despite being the same gender, a small part of Kairi wondered if he could fall for someone like Naofumi… He turned to head back to the living room, only to freeze in place. Tasuku was standing at the step to the raised floor.
Kairi forced a sheepish smile.
“I’m really sorry. I thought you were still at work.”
But his younger brother remained expressionless, staring intently at Kairi. His gaze was not on Kairi’s face but lower down. Kairi followed his brother’s eyes and looked at his own body.
His shirt was open at the front, and the edge had shifted, revealing a hint of his nipple. The same one Naofumi had sucked on earlier. Although the saliva had dried, the skin around it was still faintly flushed. Shame made Kairi’s neck burn. But pulling his shirt closed now felt like overreacting. So he hesitated.
He and Tasuku had bathed together as children. And during hot summers, they often hung around in just their underwear. Kairi tried to tell himself that his chest, a man’s chest, wasn’t worth worrying about—yet under Tasuku’s gaze, it felt as though his nipples were being twisted, making his whole body tense.
Suddenly, Tasuku took a large step forward, closing the distance between them. Kairi instinctively stepped back. But his back hit the cold metal door. Tasuku placed his hand against the wall beside Kairi’s face, trapping him.
Tasuku loomed over him. His proximity made Kairi’s heart clench as if they were about to kiss. But their lips didn’t meet. Instead, Tasuku reached up and grabbed the door chain. The loud click of the chain locking into place echoed in Kairi’s ears.
“…Have you ever let him in?”
Tasuku’s voice was so low and raspy that Kairi could barely hear him, despite the closeness.
“What? What do you mean?”
Trying to stay calm, Kairi met his brother’s sharp eyes, which were cut deeply into his face.
Tasuku’s breathing grew uneven.
“I’m asking if you brought that guy here while I was at work before.”
Tasuku’s words came out in a low, accusatory tone that resonated in Kairi’s stomach.
“Is that why you’ve been coming home late lately? Because you were doing that kind of stuff with him?”
“N-no, we weren’t…”
“Don’t lie to me. If that’s true, why didn’t you resist?”
“I-It’s because he turned off the lights— You know that I’m afraid of the dark, Tasuku.”
“Oh right, because ‘that woman’ used to lock you in the closet when you were a kid? She never did that to me, though.”
“…”
“You’re seriously still blaming a trauma from twenty years ago at your age?”
Tasuku spat the words with disdain, then grabbed Kairi roughly by the upper arm.
“Tasuku, that hurts! Let go!”
Kairi struggled. But the difference in their strength was too much. He was dragged down the hallway. The frosted glass door to the bathroom was slammed open. Tasuku shoved him inside. Kairi tumbled onto the tiled floor, hitting his temple on the edge of the bathtub as he fell. Groaning, he pressed a hand to his head, only to be suddenly drenched in icy water.
The shower nozzle, still hanging from the wall hook, sprayed cold water onto him with painful force.
“Tasuku… stop…”
As Kairi tried to escape, a strong hand pulled him back into the spray of water.
His vision blurred. Tasuku, also soaking wet, threatened him.
“I don’t want to hit you, so just behave.”
“…”
“I’ll make sure you’re clean.”
Tasuku reached for the body soap. He pressed the pump several times, rubbing his hands together to create a thick, foamy lather.
He smeared the foam along Kairi’s jawline, the same spot Naofumi had licked earlier. Tasuku’s slender fingers slid from his forehead down to his lips. Kairi thought, No way, but then Tasuku pushed his fingers into Kairi’s mouth. He grabbed Kairi’s tongue and rubbed the foam into it.
“Mmm… ugh, mmm.”
A bitter taste spread in his mouth. His body’s natural reaction caused his saliva to flow heavily. Trying to avoid swallowing the foam, Kairi closed his throat and attempted to spit it out along with the saliva. With Tasuku’s three fingers prying his mouth open, saliva dribbled out from Kairi’s lips.
“…I guess I’ll need to wash this part too.”
Tasuku opened the front of Kairi’s soaked shirt, sliding his foam-covered hand over his left chest. His fingers teased the hardened nipple, rolling it around slickly in his palm. Then, as if testing the texture, his fingers delicately traced the small nub.
“Nn… uh, mm—”
The spot that Naofumi had sucked on earlier responded with a shocking ease, stirring pleasure within Kairi. Even his tongue, which was being toyed with, had somehow started to melt in response. The pleasure from his chest and mouth pulsed directly down to his lower abdomen, making his body throb painfully.
This is bad. He couldn’t give in any further.
Kairi bit down on Tasuku’s fingers. And with all his might, he pushed away the hand playing with his chest.
“You… you’ve had enough, haven’t you?”
He shoved his brother away and tried to stand.
But he couldn’t manage to stay on his feet. Before he could, his body was lifted into the air. His hair, shirt, slacks, even his underwear were completely soaked as Tasuku held him in his arms. He carried Kairi out of the bathroom, through the living room… and into the bedroom.
Kairi was thrown onto the double bed, landing hard. The lights were suddenly switched on, flooding the room with brightness.
This can’t be happening. This is impossible, Kairi thought as his brother loomed over him. Tasuku undid the belt of his slacks, and Kairi was on the verge of panic.
“Tasuku!!”
He squeezed out his voice, calling out as an ‘older brother’.
Tasuku flinched slightly as he grabbed the zipper. But that was all. He swiftly took off Kairi’s slacks, pulling down both his slacks and underwear at the same time.
Kairi fought back, gripping the fabric with both hands to keep from being stripped.
“What… What the hell are you doing… stop it!”
“I have the right.”
Tasuku’s intense gaze pierced him.
“What right, what right do you have?”
“The right to make you mine.”
