A scary summer night (brothers conflict fanfic)

A scary summer night

Iori closed his book and looked around the living room. The summer evening made everything feel slow and sluggish. The evening sunlight cast shadows in the room. The silver-haired teen sighed. Most of his family was at their summer home. They would be coming back tomorrow morning. Tsubaki was at work, progressing diligently on his anime. Louis had called earlier and informed him that he was having dinner with a couple of his customers. Yusuke was in his room, studying hard in order to go to the same University as Ema.

Footsteps bounded down the stairs. A fiery red-headed teen made a beeline for the refrigerator. He took a bottle of cold water out and gulped it down.

"Ah! I feel satisfied!" Yusuke proclaimed. "I've been studying hard all week long. I need a break."

Iori stretched out on the couch, "Yeah, me too. The rest of the family will be coming home tomorrow. Let's do something."

Yusuke furrowed his eyebrows in thought. "After dinner you wanna watch a movie together?"

"Hmmm. What kind of movie?" Iori responded.

"I don't know just any movie I guess." Yusuke stated.

Iori looked around the room once more. His eyes followed the shadows that stretched out on the floor. This gave him an idea.

"Let's watch a scary movie then." He suggested. He loved scary movies- especially the psychological ones. They made everything seem more real.

The red-head's eyes had widened, "S-scary movie?" His eyes darted around the room at the shadows. It began to dawn on him that this was what a room looked like in a scary movie.

"Ahaha, how about a Disney movie or something?" he nervously offered.

"What's wrong with a scary movie?" Iori inquired, a slight smirk forming on his face. "Is it, too scary for you?" He teased.

Yusuke felt his cheeks start to flame, "NO! I was just throwing out some ideas around. There's nothing wrong with a Disney movie you know." He stated.

"And there's nothing wrong with a scary movie either." Iori returned. "Then it's settled. After dinner we can watch a scary movie. We can even stay up all night and be scared out of our minds." He got up and sauntered to the kitchen and started preparing dinner. "Besides, you won't have to pretend to be tough since Ema isn't here." He continued to tease.

Yusuke marched towards the table and began setting it up, "Shut up! And I don't pretend to be tough." He said with a haughty air in his voice. Iori continued to smirk.

The two teens quickly gulped down their meal and settled in the living room in their pajamas. Iori had brought down his collection of scary movies and was rummaging through the DVDs, trying to find one to watch. "Oh! I haven't seen this one yet. It's supposed to be extremely scary. And it's based on a true story."

Yusuke wearily eyed his older brother, "That's great." He grumbled miserably. Iori ignored his sarcastic statement and set up the TV. He walked over to the wall and flipped the light switch. Since it was after dinner, the room became eerily darker. It didn't help that the sky outside had started to turn gray.

Yusuke blinked from his position on the couch, "Is it necessary to turn off all the lights Iori-nii?" His brother settled down next to him and responded, "Yes. This is the best way to watch scary movies."

45 minutes later into the movie, Yusuke was staring at the screen with wide eyes. Why did I agree to this, he thought. More importantly, How did it end up like this?! He watched as the girl on the movie screen walked towards the bedroom. It was raining outside and lightning flashed through the windows. What is she doing? Why doesn't she know that her aunt is the killer? And why are all the doors locked? You never know what could be hiding behind a door. Maybe I should go around and open all the doors in this house? He shook his head. No, stop it Yusuke! This isn't real. Calm down. He flinched as a low rumble could be heard outside the mansion. Great. Just like in the movie. A loud rumble sounded from the movie screen. As the girl in the story opened the door, the aunt jumped out with a knife. The girl screamed while another clap of thunder cracked through the speakers- at the same time, an ominous sound of thunder clashed and shook the house.
