Chapter 15 : New Memories

Oreki's Pov

I sigh heavily at the sight of my big brother already at it with the drinks, he's irresponsible as ever with his addiction but i can't really blame him either, the club that he owns is what kept me and him on our feet. The least i can do for him is learn well in school and get a scholarship for later on.

"Come on, i'll lay you down on the bed at the back. I'll manage the front desk" i slinged his arm around my neck and we went off "Tatsuo, hold on for a moment" he nodded my way and rushed to make more drinks.

It wasn't a tragic story really, mom and dad have never been the most affectionate or the best with me nor my brother, they were abusive, loud, they don't respect efforts but rather results. We were hit, shouted, degraded and were told to be better of in a grave than in a house.

That was until one day, one faithful day our house door bursts open revealing men in blue uniform, our parents were reported by someone we don't know of. The person might heard mom and dad's shouting while they were passing by, we tried to find this person but they never came back to us.

A tall women with blue eyes and green hair, the police gave us a description. We never knew nor found this said women, we never got to thank her for saving us. "Lay down drunkee, i'll have to carry you back home again" i sighed and left him to sleep.

After so long we still couldn't find our saviour, we decided to be thankful by prayers realizing that we might never find her. That is until i met whom i've worked with for a few months now. The first day i laid eyes on him, it couldn't be a dumb coincidence.

"Oi, Oreki.. you alright?" I snapped out of my daze and turned to him, i nodded and looked into his blue eyes "By the way, do i have to study for a test to get into your school?" He shook his head "Got a report card?" I nodded and gave a drink to a customer.

"Pay the enterance fee, give the card and she'll evaluate which class you'll be in and done" he clarified as he made another shot "that's it?" I questioned earning a nod "Yeah.. woah! Jiro-san?"

"Sorry about him, i'll get him back to the bed" i took him away and laid him down on the bed and covered him with the cover "i'll be going to school soon Drunkee, hope you can take care of yourself while im not here" i sighed and left the back room.

We tended some more guests until it closing time finnaly came "Alright so we'll meet up tomorrow, afternoon?" He nodded and packed his things "Where? your house?" He flinched "No, im sorry but can i ask a favour?"

"You see my sibblings don't know i work at a night club, they'll tell my old man on me and he'll make me stop working.. so for the first week of school, act like we don't know each other?" he chuckled a little "Sure, meet me here then" we came to the agreement and walked home.

Nii-san had his arms around my neck as i supported his weight "O-oreki?" he reeked of alcohol but complimented by the many the smell of sweeteners from our drinks. "What drunkee?" He chuckled drunkly "Finnaly going to school now eh?"

"Good good, im sure you'll do great. Your a good guy with a good heart and brains to top it." I looked away from slight embarrassment and bashfulness "Can it Nii-san" he stopped "Y-you called me Nii-san!" He cheered as i realized that i did. "I din't, it slipped my mouth"

"N-no i heard that loud and clear! Yo-you called me Nii-san!"
