Growing Together

[F] TharnType: Brothers

There had been a small bounce to his step as he walked into his family home calling out for his mother. "Mom, you're favorite child is here!" He called out heading into the living room, but instead of finding his mother, he found his elder brother.

"King," Korn had said looking up from his book.

"Oh, P'Korn you're here too." He said going to greet his brother properly, though he had only gone on to ask. "Where is mom?"

Korn had only looked behind him before he was looking back at him, "Mom said he can't make it, tonight. The guys wanted to practice a bit more, so your date's going to have to wait until the weekend."

"What a bummer," King had sighed though he had noticed Korn's gaze. "Ah, I came alone. Khlui said he was going to stay with Intouch at his apartment." That seemed to ease his brother up.

"You should check on him more often, you know Khlui likes to goof off," Korn said sitting on the table in front of him when his brother had come to join him on the couch.

"What do you want me to do? You know that brat likes to run off playing matchmaker. Besides, I've tried and I can't really say anything when his grades aren't suffering. It'd be a different matter if he was actually failing," King said laying his head back against the couch. He envied Khlui's brain, but it's not like his grades were lacking either. However, that was mostly because he studied as his life depended on it. "You know dad keeps saying we should just leave him be." He said as an afterthought.

"Hmm" Korn had hummed just so that his brother knew he was listening. "If we did, who knows what kind of trouble he'd get himself into..."

King had only sighed at that. He knew how much his elder brother worried about them, especially, when Khlui had always been like this. They both had thought their parents had fed him too much into the idea 'true love' cliché. Khlui wasn't like them who hadn't really been sold on the idea of it and weren't that interested in romance, to begin with. Khlui had always felt stronger for people who were in love, especially growing up and seeing just how in love their parents still were. He wanted that for every couple in love. He wants to help them get together like if it was his personal mission to make it so. Though, the irony of it was that Khlui had never been in love himself despite the number of boys and girls that seemed interested in him.

"Should we go eat?" Korn had said turning to his brother. He wasn't an idiot to the workings of his younger brother. These little dates with their mom always served as a way for King to let out whatever had been bugging him.

"Yeah, I'm starving!" King said moving to get up.

Once they were in his brother's car driving to one of their usual places, that's when he finally decided to speak up again. "How are things with your girlfriend?" King asked just to fill in the silence.

"We broke up," Korn said simply sounding like that fact didn't bother him at all.

"What a bummer, she was a nice girl," King said though his tone was flat. If he were honest, he'd admit he wasn't really fond of her. She was nice and all, but they didn't seem to match each other at all. 

Korn didn't even bother to say anything on the matter either. He had only dated her because she'd confessed to him, but they had hardly been a normal couple. It felt no different from being colleagues. They'd spent many nights at the office simply working to have ever gone on dates.

"Hey, P', how do you know when you like someone?" King had asked which had his heart nearly jumping out of his chest when his brother came to a nasty stop at the light. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!" King had yelled not letting go of the handle of the door as he turned towards his brother.

"Y-You like someone?!" Korn had said looking at him in utter shock. He didn't think King would have ever liked anyone.
