Forgotten Brother (Adopted)

Chapter 2

warning self-harm right at the very beginning and maybe later in the chapter too....you have been warned. Runs away with under water bubbly sound effects.

Ari P.O.V.

I laid on the floor listening to my own voice singing words I remember writing. Trying not to listen to my own thoughts. I turned up the volume to drown my thoughts... yet here I am holding a razor blade and sliding it across my skin on my lower stomach. "Just once," I said loud enough to hear yet when I looked I had more than ten new red lines "Why doesn't my body listen to me" I sighed and hit my head against the floor not hard enough to hurt but enough to focus on it. I put down the razor "10 years 11 months 19 days. 131 months 19 days or 572 weeks 2 days. That makes 4006 days. How many good days I've had since? I can't remember how many... " I started to panic I couldn't remember a simple thing, tears were falling and I couldn't breathe properly "..am I fading already." I turned to my side and pulled my legs as close as I could and tried to calm down. it didn't work at first but then I noticed that my mind went blank.

--little time skip--

I jolted as I heard the door bell ring. I must have dozed off during my attack. I looked at the door and then there was a ring again and I stood up and pulled down my hoodie that must have rose up while sleeping. Opening the door I saw 3 of my brothers there. Wataru who hugged me as soon as I opened the door enough for him to reach me, Masaomi and Tsubaki. "I came here to apologize for what I said. So... Sorry." Tsubaki said and left to join others in the living room. Wataru wanted up and not caring about the pain the movements caused I pulled him up but doing that my hoodie slid up and I had to pull that down because of my previous mistake I had a white t-shirt under it and my cuts made their markings on the shirt. I successfully pulled it down while not dropping Wataru- "Ari can I sleep in your bed tonight...it's raining outside and it's scary." Wataru asked I looked at him and forgetting Masaomi I answered: "But won't Sir SnugglyBunny be lonely in your room?" to which he pouted saying like it was an obvious thing "He will sleep with me in your room." giving him the look "If you can bring him all by yourself then I don't mind." to which Wataru smiled and jumped off my lap to go get sir SnugglyBunny from his own room. to which I looked up thanking my messy bangs to cover my eyes. There stood shocked Masaomi staring at me like seeing a ghost.

Masaomi P.O.V.

I went with my brothers to make sure Tsubaki says sorry to Ari for rude words. I rang the bell to his mini apartment like room. "Ring again, he listens to music so sometimes he doesn't hear the bell," Wataru said and I ring the bell again looking at my youngest brother. So he knows Ari the best doesn't he. As the door opens I saw a boy with the messiest hair ever suddenly the boy took a half a step back and then I noticed Wataru hugging Ari like his life depended on it. he never does that to me. Am I jealous of my brother? I shook my head a little as I hear Tsubaki say sorry and leave. Then turning I saw Wataru grabbing Aris sleeve and jumping up a little to which Ari pulled him up and I noticed the shirt he was wearing under the hoodie that rose while pulling the boy up had weird red lines on it. I couldn't dwell on it because the hoodie was pulled down and Wataru already asked to sleep in the same room as Ari and to my utter surprise I heard Aris voice and it was beautiful. It sounded so calm like small waves on the beach on a rainy day. After getting over the fact that he talked I noticed how caring he sounded when talking to Wataru. And next thing I noticed Wataru was running towards his room and I stared at Ari. I couldn't find anything to say at first and then I heard the music coming from his room and I recognized it as one of my favorites. I often listen to music while going to work or coming from it and 21 pilots were something I liked to listen. and he was listening to it. We have something in common. "It's a good song," I said and he nodded soon Wataru was back and with him was almost his sized bunny. where did he get that? "Do you like my bunny?" Wataru asked and I nodded "Where did you get it?" I was curious because I didn't hear anyone buying Wataru bunny this size. "Ari gave it to me last year for my birthday." Wataru smiled and I nodded. Why doesn't Ari show others the affection he shows towards Wataru? "Masaomi why are you sometimes mean to Ari when he is nice towards you?" Wataru asked and I couldn't answer "I don't know." I said now noticing that Ari wasn't at the door and the door was open enough to me see that he had a digital piano in the room with a drum set and mini recording set with papers all around the piano. Most of them had notes on them some seemed to be full songs some just poems. It was darker room than his own with forest painted on the walls. It was calming sight "good night." Wataru said and entered the room, Ari appeared on the door "Sweet dreams Masaomi." He said rather quietly and now it clicked maybe he was never really silent, he just talked so quietly that it was impossible to hear when others talked. I smiled "Good night." I said loud enough for both to hear and walked towards the living room where my other brothers were. Still shocked that I heard Ari talking.
