Lazy Black Flower [BL/YAOI]

Lazy Older Brother!

This morning Yuuma caught Ami yelling and having a tantrum in the hall. It was pure coincidence especially on the day he wanted to invite his siblings to lunch.

The panicked maids tried calming her down but Ami kept screaming drowning out their frantic voices. It was clearly the little girl who was in control of the situation. Before long Ami started hitting them with flushed distorted features, tears, and snot running down her whiny face out of anger at whatever had happened. And when the maid tried stopping the painless hits she screamed in such a high-pitched cry that one would think she surely was getting tortured. She attracted everyone's attention who was around, it reminded Yuuma of the toddlers in a store causing a fuss, screaming, and crying just like what was happening now. The old people in the store would whisper about how spoiled the child probably is and how they probably don't get enough spanks with the wooden bat.

Then they would gossip on and on about the ill-mannered child like they weren't just like that when they were young.

Yuuma thinks it's perfectly natural for ordinary children to have bad days every once in a while. Well, you could say even as a child Yuuma was abnormal but he doesn't remember much from his childhood. His aunt ran a daycare and sometimes when he was forced to get out of the house he would volunteer there. Most of the time he would end up falling asleep on the soft mat of the ABC rug or the carpet train rug and would wake up with doodles all over his skin. Those kids drew on him in his sleep! Even so, Yuuma never managed to get mad at the children especially since one time he caught the girls in the preschool protecting him from the naughty boys who tried to draw on him. It was quite amusing seeing the little girl's faces look in a serious mom scold manner at the boys while using shielded arms protecting Yuuma's curled-up body while the boys pouted and exaggerated their already baby voices in grumpy whines. Although children seemed to never stick to one emotion or thought at a time because most of the time the kids would try to tackle him onto the floor in a dog pile or the girls would pretend he was their baby and wrap him up in blankets or played doctor and he was the sick patient. He was far too tired to stop them and ultimately became the victim of the whole preschool.

Yuuma had cupped his ears with his palms to deafen the screaming that shook his eardrums in an uncomfortably loud way. While he thought to the past the girl had stomped her feet and then got on the floor kicking her legs in the air wildly, the maids tried their best to calm her. But it was useless, Ami's dead weight couldn't be picked up and her legs kept flinging up, raging until Ami was out of breath.

This was different from what Yuuma expected from Ami although in his memories of her he didn't see much of her. In fact, the siblings of this home can be considered strangers. But from his earlier interactions with her, he had thought she was a shy nervous little girl who looked up to her mother. it turns out not very surprisingly in Yuumas's opinion, that the children in this new mythical world didn't change from his last.

With a sigh from Yuuma, Ami started to calm down but was still unwilling to be picked up and had a few hiccups and cries when a maid got too close almost restarting the hectic tantrum. Yuuma sleepily blinked and came up behind the girl whose vision wasn't focused on him and lifted her up from her armpits. He was a weak seven years old and picking up a six year old was a challenge that drained his energy almost instantly. His small muscles were definitely not prepared! Even so, he persisted by scooting her up a couple of times before getting in a comfortable position with her resting on his belly legs wrapped around his hips, and facing him. Ami was definitely surprised at her abruptly being picked up but when she saw it was her elder brother her face that originally was morphed in a permanent frown froze.

'She must be a bit embarrassed,' Yuuma mused internally. This is all because the little girl tried acting quite big with her older brother. Probably getting fed poison from her mother to act in a certain way around Yuuma obliterating any other relationship except a formal or a passive one.
