Ahh... It's so warm here... Could this be heaven? I'm on my way, grangran.
Slowly opening your eyes, you realized you were in a strange room. There was no doubt that wherever you went, it was cleaner than your apartment. The books on the shelves were arranged neatly. The walls had a soft brown color and weren't chipped. The bed you were sleeping on felt like you were sleeping on the back of a flying bison - fluffier than you could have ever imagined. Your bed back home felt like a boulder when you were sleeping on it. Whose room is this?
The picture frame on the dressing table beside the bed caught your eye, and as you examined it closely, your heart dropped because you knew exactly whose room it was.
"YOU'RE AWAKE!" Exclaimed a loud, familiar voice. You glanced upwards and gasped when you saw no other than Kyojuro. And he was naked.
...Well... He wasn't entirely naked since he had a towel wrapped around the lower part of his body, but you still yelled. Still, you had to admit he was pretty toned. At school, you saw how well built his body looked, but you didn't expect him to look this good. You prayed to God the towel wouldn't fall off your face as you felt your face heat up quickly.
"Wow... haha, didn't expect to see you in heaven too, Kyojuro. How has it been?" You chuckled, placing your head on the palm of your hand, your eyes not leaving Kyojuro's face. Kyojuro laughed out loud, placing his hand on either side of his waist.
"You didn't die yet, (Y/N)! You're at my home!" Your face turned to a deeper shade of red as you silently muttered 'oh' and shifted your glance away from Kyojuro; you were seriously about to lose it, but it seemed like there was no point in looking away from your friend because the next thing you knew, you and Kyojuro were face-to-face. He was checking your fever with the palm of his hand.
"I see you seem to have a little bit of a fever, but other than that, you're fine!" Kyojuro smiled brightly as you tried to think of the right words to explain to him that you did not have a fever. Suddenly, your eyes widened when you noticed something.
Before you passed out, you wore a different outfit than the one you were wearing now. The clothes you wore earlier had been replaced by a dark gray shirt that was several times your size, as well as a pair of oversized pants. There was silence.
"Hey, Kyojuro..." Kyojuro hummed in response, "Were you the one who... um... changed me out of my clothes?" Kyojuro's eyes sparkled.
"Yes! It would have been me who did it. I couldn't find clothes in your size, so I gave you some of mine!" Kyojuro noticed your blank expression and red face, and as soon as realization hit him, he turned the same shade you were as sweat began to form across his face. "I assure you, I did not peek!" Kyojuro spoke as he tried to keep his usual smile on.
You were this close to losing your mind. You tried pulling yourself together, trying your best not to pass out again.
"Aniki... you scared her..." You heard a soft voice say quietly. You looked away from Kyojuro and noticed his little brother, Senjuro, enter the room carrying a tray of food.
Senjuro looked exactly like his brother, only he was a bit scrawny and he had his hair tied up into a ponytail. Other than that, both Kyojuro and Senjuro were completely identical.
"Senjuro..." you breathed. The twelve-year-old smiled shyly as he placed the tray on the table next to you, "You really shouldn't have."
"As for Senjuro's cooking, you will not regret eating it. He is the best cook I know!" Kyojuro beamed, patting his brother on the back. Senjuro's face turned soft pink as he mumbled a thank you. His cuteness made you smile. In contrast to his older brother, Senjuro had a calm, shy personality, which you found very endearing. You would never have thought Kyojuro and Senjuro were brothers if they did not look so alike.
"So... how did you find me?" You turned your gaze to Kyojuro after having a few bites of rice. Kyojuro wasn't wrong when he said Senjuro was a great cook. That fact surprised you considering the fact he has just started junior high not so long ago.
"Aniki said he found you unconscious on your way home," Senjuro said and Kyojuro nodded at his words.
"That's right. You should've waited for me, (Y/N)." Kyojuro folded his arms as you looked away, pursing your lips. You then remembered everything that has happened before you passed out.
"Have you seen some weird-looking guy nearby when you found me? There was even an injury on my nose. He slammed it so hard I passed out." You could swear you saw an unusual look in Kyojuro's eyes. One that radiated rage, but it disappeared just as soon as it came. His face remained to be the normal smiling one.
"Nope! I haven't seen any strange man!" Kyojuro confirmed. Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion. You were positive that this all wasn't just some kind of dream. It felt too real.
Senjuro awkwardly stood up and walked to you, helping you lie down. "You probably have hit your head too hard when you fell, (Y/N). Maybe you need rest some more."
"No need to worry about it. I'll just finish my food for now." You continued to chew your food quietly. You were convinced that it was true. However, you had no proof to prove it. It was obvious that the Rengoku brothers were getting more concerned about you, so you chose to stay quiet. Senjuro stepped back and nodded.
"Ok then. I have to go study now, see you." He shyly waved, leaving the room to you and Kyojuro. It seemed like Kyojuro was in deep thought. It was not the usual sight to see him frowning and scrunching up his nose like that. He definitely knew something and didn't want to tell you. Either that or he was just as confused as you are. When you realized he had still nothing on but a towel covering his lower half, you choked on your food.
"Hey, Kyojuro?" Kyojuro responded with a hum as he turned to you, "Can you please put some clothes on... it's getting kind of distracting."
"Oh, right! Thank you for reminding me, (Y/N)!" Kyojuro exclaimed as he started untying his towel.
"NOT HERE!!!"
