Hoshi rubbed his tired eyes and yawned. This was a horribly tiring day, and it wasn't even lunch time yet. He'd come home after his first class, English, the only reason he went in was to hand in the assignment he did over the weekend.

He'd went  into the kitchen to put on the perculator to make himself a strong coffee, maybe it would help wake him up a bit. You never know.

He set himself a cup and emptied the contents of the biscuit barrel onto a plate and was busy searching the fridge for cream when he heard the front door open and the hush of voices. No one was supposed to be home. His parents were at work and as far as he knew his brother should be in school.

Curious, he wandered stealthily out of the kitchen, past the lounge and into the hallway, his eyes widening in surprise at the scene unfolding in front of him.
There stood Yugyeom, his uniform a crumpled mess as he expertly disentangled himself from an intimate hug. The boy currently smiling warmly, his long fingers stroking his brothers cheek and speaking in a soft voice, that hinted at the fact this was not a one time thing, was Joshua.

Joshua.

Joshua.

"I'll see you later. Tonight maybe?" Joshua smiled warmly, his fingers sliding down the collar of Yugyeom's school shirt, his teeth teasing his bottom lip.

"We'll see," Yugyeom answered and slid his hand through the other's pink fluffy hair. "You'll need time to recover," he said with a smirk making the other blush wildly and he pulled him into a hard kiss.

"Okay, get out of here," Yugyeom muttered as he pushed the human boy effortlessly away, giving him a tight smile. The pink haired boy chuckled and gave in, turning away to saunter happily down the pathway.

At that point Hoshi had turned away, heading back to the kitchen not quite believing what he'd witness in the door way.

He automatically lifted the coffee pot and poured some coffee into one of his mother's favourite delicate china cups with the scarlet red roses hand painted on it, and blindly lifted the scalding liquid to his mouth, barely registering the heat against his upper lip.

Yugyeom whistled a little as he stepped into the kitchen, preparing to go to the fridge to get himself a drink, when he stopped dead, seeing his brother standing at the counter, with his back to him.

"I didn't think anyone was home," he called out breezily, nerves making his voice quiver a little.

Not hearing a reply from his brother he stepped over to the fridge, his heart thumping.
Did he know?
Had he heard? He cleared his throat and opened the fridge to peer inside.
"I said-"

"Did you fuck him?" Hoshi's voice floated across the vast kitchen and screeched in brothers ears, making his heart thump dully in his chest.

Dread filled his heart. "Fuck.. stay calm Yug," he told himself, "you did nothing wrong."

"What?" He asked doing his best to feign ignorance, fighting for a calm he didn't truly feel.

"What?" Hoshi repeated sarcastically, placing the cup on the counter and turned to look at his brother who was standing there holding a carton of apple juice in his hand.
"You know what. Josh." His eyes glittered brightly, flitting from black to red. "Did.you.fuck.him?" he repeated.

Yugyeom paused to think, consciously slowing his heart beat before answering. "Yes. Yes I did," he held his brothers gaze and lifted the juice carton to his lips and slowly drinks.

"What the fuck, Yugyeom!" Hoshi growled angrily. "You knew how I felt about him!"

"Not my fault you don't have the balls to so much as ask him on a date." He lowers the carton from his mouth, and eyes his brother. "Have to say, he was very enthusiastic," he said, snorting a little. "Both times,"  he confided, his eyes flashed spitefully.
