Like this, Tasuku feels like he’s seeping his murky, festering desires into his unsuspecting, peacefully sleeping brother.

The nostalgia and depravity intertwine, sending a powerful tingling sensation through his brain.

――This is abnormal, isn’t it?

He lets out a shaky sigh.

His desires have become deeply entrenched in a very wrong place.

It started from that time, when he was 9 and climaxed by rubbing against his brother… No, to be precise, from that dark night when he swore to protect his brother while gazing at a candle.

***

Such a familiar sensation. Warmth flows in from the points of contact. And his own body temperature also flows into the other, confirming that he is being accepted.

The unconsciously released sigh was disturbingly sweet, enough to make Kairi feel embarrassed. Kairi blinks his eyes open sluggishly. A face is right in front of him. The familiar sleeping face dissolves the drowsiness in Kairi’s consciousness with relief.

Embedded in the closed eyelids are long lashes. The proud arch of the eyebrows. The sharp nose. The lips that seem to be brimming with honey. Stripped of expression by sleep, the pure form of his features stands out.

――Surprisingly, the resemblance is still there…

The childish sleeping face that used to be the first thing Kairi saw every morning now overlaps with the grown man’s face.

The slit of light peeking through the blackout curtains crosses Kairi’s cheek and draws a white line about the thickness of a finger towards Tasuku’s eye area. The dispersing light particles make the bedroom considerably bright.

“Mmh…”

Apparently feeling the brightness even through his eyelids, Tasuku furrows his eyebrows.

The long lashes lift slightly. The originally pale irises glimmer, half-dissolving into the light. Narrowing his eyes as if dazzled, Tasuku tilts his body towards Kairi. Naturally, Kairi’s body falls back into a supine position.

“Tasuku?”

The solid, adult-sized body weighs him down. An oppressive closeness.

The still-drowsy Tasuku seems to be mistaking Kairi for a woman. With the affectionate gestures of a man, he strokes Kairi’s hair and trails his hand along the nape of his neck. A prickling sensation arises from the touched areas, and Kairi shrugs his shoulders. Their legs intertwined deeply.

As Kairi’s mind gradually clears, he flicks the back of Tasuku’s head with a mix of exasperation.

“Idiot, wake up…”

Tasuku’s tilted face slowly descends.

A heavy, strangely soft sensation envelops his lips.

“――!?”

Before he can comprehend what’s happening, Kairi instinctively tries to turn his face away. But a sharp pain in his lower lip makes his body jerk. He’s being bitten. His lower lip is bitten and sucked on in small motions.

“Stop―”

To silence his rejection, the lips overlap again, interlocking.

The same textured lips connect, and Kairi can no longer discern where his own lips end. The lips peel back, and the moist inner mucosa clings together. Though not using their tongues, a faint moist sound seeps out from the contact.

“Mmph, nh…”

Kairi’s core wavers. Despite trying to pull Tasuku’s face away, Kairi’s fingers have no strength to grip the soft, curly hair.

There’s something hard pressing into the juncture of his left thigh. And his own arousal, pressing against Tasuku’s hip, is also stirring. Kairi isn’t sure if it’s just a morning reaction or a response elicited by the kiss.

Panting heavily as if extremely aroused by just the kiss, both Tasuku and Kairi heave their shoulders and chests. Tasuku’s wet lips slip from Kairi’s mouth to his cheek, and then Tasuku buries his face in Kairi’s neck. Kairi feels the electric current running under the thin skin.

“Ah…”

With Tasuku’s heavy body still on top of him, Kairi arches his back. He cradles his brother’s head with his left hand and digs his nails into the sturdy back with his right.

He remains tense like that, but-

He notices the body on top of him has gone limp and the warm, even breaths by his ear.

“…”

Tasuku seems to have genuinely been half asleep.

Well, if he weren’t, he wouldn’t do something like this.

Provoked by this unexpected attack, Kairi feels like he wants to bite his own tongue.

Struggling out from under his brother’s weighty body, Kairi heads to the bathroom with a disgruntled expression to take a cold shower.

***

“Just cornflakes?”

Placing a bowl of milk and the cereal box on the table, Tasuku sits down at the dining table with his messy bed-hair. Kairi, dissatisfied, taps his spoon on the plate.

“If you don’t like it, make breakfast yourself.”

“You know I’m weak in the mornings.”

Giving up, Tasuku pours the cereal into the plate and douses it generously with milk. Muttering “Itadakimasu,” he shovels a heaping spoonful of the golden-brown flakes into his mouth. He makes a contemplative face.

Kairi, having already finished his breakfast, pours regular coffee into two mugs. The corners of his mouth lifting.

“Tasty, right? It’s a new product from Sakuraba Foods.”

“Mmh. This crunchiness is amazing.”

Busily working his spoon and mouth, Tasuku intently reads the product description on the back of the package.

Seeing Tasuku’s reaction when he discovers something delicious is still just like when he was a child. Watching that face, the irritation from this morning’s incident naturally subsides.

After all, it was just an accident while half asleep. Dwelling on it would be pointless.

To women, Tasuku might be an alluring man exuding pheromones. But to Kairi, he’s just an overgrown, high-maintenance little brother. If anything, Kairi feels a tinge of sadness that the cute little brother he used to know is gone.

Just because they shared one kiss doesn’t mean anything.

Still, it’s probably best to give him a warning.

“Your sleeping posture is way too wild. This morning, you were sleeping in my futon. As soon as I woke up, I was greeted by that hulking face of yours, ruining my peaceful morning.”

“Ah, so that’s why I woke up on that uncomfortable futon on the floor.”

Apparently having no memory of the morning, Tasuku says it so casually.

After chewing on the cornflakes for a while, Tasuku suddenly furrows his eyebrows. He puts down his spoon and touches his back with his right hand.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s stinging a bit.”

Still sitting in the chair, Tasuku twists his body to expose the left side of his back to Kairi.

“What’s wrong with this area around my shoulder blade?”

There are three red lines, about five centimetres long, running diagonally.

――I did that…

Confronted with the evidence of the intensity of the pleasure he experienced, a sharp pain pierces Kairi’s core.

*Translator’s Note: Heh. Tasuku still managed to trick his brother, eh? -K

*GLOSSARY: 

  • Onii-san / Onii-chan / Nii-san / Nii-chan / Aniki = (Big/Elder) Brother

☝🏻I’ll be using these throughout my translation.

  • Japanese people say “itadakimasu” before eating as a way to express gratitude. The phrase can be translated as “I humbly receive,” and it acknowledges the food, the effort that went into preparing it, and the lives (plants or animals) that were sacrificed for the meal. It’s a form of respect and appreciation for all the elements that contribute to the meal, including nature, the people who cooked it, and the food itself.
