Chapter 6: Memories

Mysta always remembers his lovely precious time with his brother - Shu, no matter how long they have been separated from each other. He remembers when he was really clumsy and often get himself injured, Shu would always be there for him. He remembers how gentle Shu was when taking care of his wounds and reminding Mysta to protect himself.

-"Shu~It hurts!! I-It hurts so bad!!" Mysta- a little boy who was still 6 years old, came home with a bruise on his knees and arms.

-"Oh my god!! Mysta, are you alright!? What happened?" Shu who was the same age as Mysta, saw his precious brother injured himself and ran to the side of him, who was having tears all over his face.

-" I fell when riding a bike, it hurts, Shuuu~" The injured boy hadn't stopped crying for literally a minute, whining and asking his brother for help. Shu let out a long sigh, nagging his brother for not taking care of himself properly. What would he do when Shu isn't there to help him? He couldn't even imagine that.

-"Mysta! How many times have I told you, to take care of yourself? Remember to watch out for obstacles and dangerous terrain, okay? You made me so worried, you know?" Even though Shu was nagging his little brother, Mysta didn't feel any frustration coming from him even the slightest. Just concerned and worried. Shu even wiped all the tears on the poor boy's face, healing all the boy's wounds with gentleness and love.

Mysta remembers how much fun they have while playing snowball in the wintertime. They would laugh all day, throwing snowballs at each other or just lying down in the snow, talking about everything they could come up with. Like how was their day at school, how Mom took care of both of them with love and affection, or just what should they play next?

"Mysta, don't lie on the snow. What if you caught a cold..." Shu looked at his brother, who was lying and moving his hands up and down to make a fairy between the snow. He was worried for Mysta, afraid that the boy would catch a cold or sore throat.

But Mysta would never mind about that, he enjoyed this precious moment, just them being silly with each other. And even though Shu was worried, Mysta knew that Shu also enjoyed this moment too. Therefore, he just smirked, making Shu confused. But then Shu felt his hand be pulled and just in a second, he was covered by snow. Shu tried to function with what just happened, but a laugh distracted him. "Don't look at me like that! Come on, lie down and have fun with me!!"

Mysta can remember when he was so sick that he couldn't even eat or sleep properly and couldn't move out of his bed for days, Shu would be there. Taking care of him. Singing him a lullaby. Staying with him, make sure that he would be fine.

-"Shu... I'm fine. I know how to take care of myself..." Even though he wasn't, he didn't want Shu to prioritize him over himself. He wanted Shu to take care of himself, not him! And he swore he could hear his mother telling Shu that she would take care of him.

But Shu didn't even move, instead, placing his hand on Mysta's forehead to check his brother's temperature. He knew Mysta well, so how could he not know when Mysta was lying or not? Shu's always ready to protect Mysta at all costs, even using all of his sorcery or letting himself be injured. "No, I won't go away, not until you feel better, Mysta." Shu smiled, ruffling his brother's hair like it was proof that he would stay here. Oh my God, this man. That was the day that he swore to himself, he would never let his older brother shed tears. Never.
