Older Brother?

Hanagaki's hangout has gone wrong

"Don't follow us" Akihiko was glaring at the end of the road while Takemichi looked at him confused.

"What are you talking about Aki-nii?" The moment Takemichi asked that five figures were heading out from their hiding spot. All of them tried hard to avoid the Hanagakis' intense eyes.

"W-well, we tried?" The silver-lilac haired boy chuckled nervously, scratching his side jaw.

"We just want to hang out too!" Mikey whined loudly, wincing a little when Draken nudged his side hard.

Akihiko sighed in exasperation. He really needed to get paid for dealing with them. "And which part don't you understand? Not today?" Akihiko glared at them.

"But Aki nii-san,"

"It's Akihiko-san to you, brat" Akihiko cut off Mikey, snarling at him.

Ignoring Akihiko's words, Mikey continued "we've got nothing to do today!"

"Oh, too bad for you but not me, Micchin and I have something to do," Akihiko said dragging a dumbfounded Takemichi with him gently. "Let's go Micchin"

Takemichi looked at the pouting Toman and sent them an apologetic look. Yeah, he wanted to hang out with them but he really wanted to hang out with his older brother alone. Since he got involved with the gang, they could rarely hang out together.

Pouting at the outcome, Toman looked at their retreating figures, silence enveloped them until someone broke it.

"I told you it wouldn't work. Snake is a predator, also keen and he is cobra for a reason" Sanzu appeared behind them, scaring them a little. "It's Hanagakis' hang out and no one will join them. Shinichiro and Takeomi along with Wakasa and Benkei learned it the hard way before"

The atmosphere around the cafe was peaceful if he ignored the look people were giving him and Takemichi. But the aroma of coffee and Takemichi's cheerful talking were all he needed at the moment.

Not until some extra decided to ruin his moment with his baby brother.

"How magnificent! please be our model!" A guy came to them and knelt on his knee in front of them, extending his right hand.

Akihiko looked at the guy blankly but he noticed the discomfort his baby brother had right now. Akihiko put his guard up, ready to kick the guy away if he ever did something to make Takemichi more uncomfortable.

Red blooming in his face, Takemichi felt uncomfortable at the attention they got. "Please! Get up" he tried to convince the guy. When the guy refused to listen to him, he took a deep breath before he said in the gentlest voice he got as to not upset the guy "I'm really sorry, but I don't feel comfortable in front of a camera" Takemichi tried to reason.

But the guy was stubborn, didn't know what his parents' fed him to make him this stubborn. "But you're a beauty!" He held out his camera, making Takemichi more uncomfortable than he was.

Akihiko immediately sprang up from his seat, taking the guy by his collar. Bringing the guy close to him, he snarled at him.

"Listen, he said he doesn't feel comfortable, he didn't say he's not a beauty. Learn the difference" Akihiko glared at him causing the guy to flinch slightly "While I agree with you that he is a beauty, you either listen to him or you lost your hands' privilege"

"B-but, if he can't, you can!" No was already at the tip of Akihiko's tongue when the guy added "you're pretty handsome yourself!"

The moment the guy's words registered in his mind, blood immediately flowed to his cheeks, and Akihiko's eyes blew wide. It was rare for the people to openly say he was handsome since people tended to label him as cold. It was getting him off guard when the guy said it openly and not to mention, loud. It was attracting the whole customers and workers in the cafe!
