The front door remained wide open. Kairi pounded on Tasuku’s chest, but he wouldn’t let go. As his lips were firmly sucked, Kairi reached out and somehow managed to close the door.
“Mmph…”
Tasuku’s tongue invaded Kairi’s lips. When Kairi clenched his teeth to keep it out, Tasuku’s thumb pried them open, forcing his tongue into the back of Kairi’s mouth.
Kairi desperately tried to push Tasuku’s tongue away, but Tasuku’s tongue entangled and kneaded him mercilessly.
――No… we have to talk it out… We can’t do this…
Even as Kairi’s reason was being clouded by Tasuku’s skilled tongue, he tried to gather his wits.
Tasuku’s restraint had gradually loosened as he became absorbed in the kiss. Taking the chance, Kairi shoved Tasuku away. He opened his mouth to scold him. But a flood of saliva spilled out. He had to cover his mouth with his palm. He was also out of breath.
Tasuku, now sitting on the floor of the hallway, was also panting. He ran his reddened tongue over his wet lips, savouring the recent kiss. The sight of the ‘man’ in his brother made Kairi’s skin crawl.
Kairi firmly grasped the back of his own neck, the static-like tingling still lingering, and spoke as clearly as he could.
“Don’t touch me like that anymore.”
At those words, the rapturous expression on Tasuku’s face darkened.
“Why not?”
“You know why. This isn’t something brothers should do.”
Tasuku slowly stood up. His larger physique towering over Kairi, making Kairi want to flee back through the front door. But as the elder brother, Kairi steeled himself and looked straight up at his brother.
Tasuku smiled crookedly.
“What’s so wrong with brothers having sex? Even if I cum inside, it’s not like I’ll get you pregnant or bother anyone else, right?”
“Even so… it’s straying from the path of humanity.”
Tasuku’s brow twisted as he let out a derisive chuckle.
“If you’re going to say that, then I’m already a lost cause for selling my body, aren’t I? A bit late for that, don’t you think?”
“That’s a separate issue.”
“It’s not a separate issue. My brother was the most important person to me. That’s why I sold my body so that my brother wouldn’t have to worry about money. I love him, so I slept with him. Both are related to my brother. If that means straying from the path, then that’s what I desire.”
“…”
Tasuku’s eyes were shining with a sharp light. They seemed on the verge of tears.
This desperate look was reminiscent of the one he had when he was an elementary school student injected with drugs by a neighbour woman.
Kairi senses that he is not in his right mind, and something that he cannot control with his own power. It would be impossible to have a proper discussion in this state.
Kairi averts his gaze from his brother and turns his body towards the door. He grabs the doorknob.
“Where are you planning to go?”
“It’s better if we don’t stay together tonight. I’ll take a nap at the internet café near the station.”
A freezing voice is thrown at Kairi’s back.
“Are you abandoning me?”
Kairi’s hand that was turning the doorknob stops.
“Are you going to pretend that what I did for my brother and my feelings for him never happened, and just abandon me? Like ‘that woman’, now that you have a man, am I no longer needed?”
“…I’m not like mom. I won’t abandon you, Tasuku.”
“How are you different from her? You’re just going to go see that Tokiya, aren’t you? Or have you already slept with him today, so you don’t need my body anymore? Have you been penetrated by him?”
A hand grabs Kairi’s shoulder, forcibly turning his body around.
“Tasuku, enough! My relationship with Tokiya-san is not like that. Yesterday, even Tokiya-san said so, didn’t he?”
“Ah, he was probably just trying to pursue you. Has he been trying to pursue you again today?”
“He hasn’t been trying to pursue me or anything.”
A lie slips out of Kairi’s mouth instinctively.
“Along with the current environment, Tokiya is what I’m attracted to now. And I’m drawn to Tokiya.”
Right after uttering the lie, the kind and powerful confession told to him about an hour ago vividly resurfaces in the depths of his ears.
And Tasuku did not miss even the slightest wavering in Kairi’s gaze. The sound of grinding his back teeth. In contrast to this grating sound, a smile appears on Tasuku’s face.
“Show me the proof.”
A whisper mixed with venom and desperation could be heard.
“Convince me with this body that you won’t abandon me.”
