The Apology

Takeomi had known that since their mother died he had started to become a bad brother especially for Sanzu but he never realized how bad it was until he heard Senju tell Takemichi what really happened the day Sanzu got his scars.

He remembered clearly that he had been the first one to arrive at the scene and he first made sure that Senju was okay(he didn't even look at Sanzu until he heard Baji call his baby brother) and then saw Sanzu with blood around his mouth and two somewhat big diamond cuts on the sides of his mouth. He froze when he saw that(those weren't things he saw outside of the gang fights he had participated in when he had been a BD member). Thankfully Shinichiro had arrived and was calling an ambulance at the same time he guided Sanzu to the bathroom to try and clean most of the blood off of Sanzu's face.

Later that day when the Akashi siblings were finally home Takeomi asked them what happened but Senju just started crying and Sanzu didn't respond so as always(he couldn't believe that blaming Sanzu had became a habit at the time but it did) he blamed his brother and denied him any contact with the Sano siblings or Baji besides punishing Sanzu for whatever he had done to Mikey that led him to give him those scars.

He had royally fucked up with Sanzu and while he knew Sanzu would never accept his apology or forgive him, Takeomi knew he at least should give that to Sanzu(his kitty cat but those days were gone since their mother died a day after Sanzu's fifth birthday in a car accident).

Takeomi knew that maybe he should wait until after the battle between Toman and Kanto to do this but he had the feeling that it was better to do it now while he knew what he wanted to say then later when he will be pushing himself to do it later but never end up doing it.

He had asked Wakasa, he knew his two friends joined Kanto but like they never asked him why he made the decisions he made in the past he did the same, to tell Sanzu to meet him at an old park where the Akashi siblings used to go.

"Takeomi" he heard someone growl his name and immediately knew it was his baby brother(could he even call him that after how much he hurt him?)

"Haruchiyo" Takeomi said looking at Sanzu who kept a distance between them and didn't look happy to be here

"What do you want?" Sanzu asked not having wanted to ever talk to Takeomi again but Wakasa was able to convince him to come and meet his older brother

"I wanna talk to you" Takeomi said

"Pffft" Sanzu laughed "Don't worry I won't hurt your dear sister or the Rip-off Shinichiro" Sanzu said because he had already been warned about hurting those two and it didn't surprise him Takeomi came to him about it too

"I do not want to talk about that" Takeomi sighed because maybe before he realized how he fucked up that would be what he would do but it wasn't

"So?" asked Sanzu slightly confused and curious

"I want to talk about our past"

"Why? To blame me for more shit?"

"No, I wanted to apologize"

"...What?"

"I want to apologize for what I did to you"

"..."

"After this time you think you have the right to do that?! You think I will just accept the apology and just go back to being the kid who accepted the blame for something I didn't do?!"

"No! I know I do not want to hear my apology but you deserve it after everything I put you through! ...And I would never want you to go back to that kid I made you become"

"...Very well. I will hear it but be fast"

"Since our mother died I knew I started to be a bad brother especially to you who once I cherished so much and even nicknamed you kitty cat. I don't even know why I changed so much and why I made you suffer" Takeomi started because it was true that he didn't understand why he changed so much after their mother died "I only realized how I fucked up big time when Senju told Takemichi what really happened the day you got those scars" he saw Sanzu flinch and look a bit surprised before putting a blank expression but Takeomi ignored it and continued "It was too late for me to realize all this? Yes and I know I do not deserve to apologize or even be forgiven but I at least should give you this apology since I all I gave you were bad memories and more pain" he sighed before looking directly at Sanzu "Haruchiyo, I apologize for blaming your for things you have never done or could control and also for having been an horrible brother to you" Takeomi bowed once he was done

"..."

"This was all" Takeomi said noticing that Sanzu wouldn't probably talk "I desire you good luck for the fight between Toman and Kanto" he added before he started to make his way to leave

"Would you..." Takeomi stopped and looked at Sanzu, curious to know what "I do not forgive you but..." Sanzu bit his lip and looked at the ground "Can you hug me one last time?" he mumbled because yes he may never forgive Takeomi but he missed the older brother he had before their mother died

"Of course" Takeomi said and walked to Sanzu and brought him into a hug "I'm proud of who you become and I hope you will always be happy, kitty cat" Takeomi whispered his goodbye before he ended the hug

"Goodbye, Take-nii" Sanzu said before turning away

With this the two brothers left not knowing what the future expected for them or their sibling relationship but they both knew that this talk they just had was something they really needed and that made them feel lighter like something heavy was taken from their back even if Takeomi would always carry the guilt of hurting his baby brother.
