Chapter Eight - "But... I Still Love Him"

Mui pov

I got home.. I had an awful day..

I miss the old Misaki.. when be asked for cuddles. Gave me kisses, when his hair got longer and I tried braiding it..

But he's not like that now.. he's rude.. he's really mean.. but I for some reason still love him..

I went past the lounge to hear..

arguing..

Is that.. yuis voice..?

I put my ear to the wall,

"Where has your brother been? He always comes home late now. We know you have something to do with it." I heard..

Oh no.. no no no..

"He's got a friendgroup that's really active, he's staying with them at the park- Fuck-!" I heard, I looked through the keyhole, dad was grabbing yuis fringe. "Where is he now?" A female voice asked  probably being mother. "He's either home or on his way home- let go of my hair-" he said sternly.

Yui always fights back.. it makes me worried.. like they'll do something bad to him..

"Fine, you can go now but if he isn't back in the next ten minutes, you know what will happen. And so does he" father told him, he nodded and yanked his hair out of dad's hand.

I think yui noticed my eye peeking through the peephole. He gave me a look saying 'no- shoo- go away from the door-'

I shuffled away before bouncing up and running into yuis room.

I heard a loud 'creek' before steps coming closer, yui opened the door and sat on his bed, "don't go near mum or piss her off. She's been drinki- why do you look so upset-?"

"Huh- oh nothing don't wor-" "is it.. genya..? Misaki.. me.. mum or dad..?" He cuts me off, "it's nothing yui-" "mui, tell me. I want to help" He says.

I thought for a moment.. it wouldn't hurt.. right..?

"Uh.. well.." I say, yui looked at me in the eyes, waiting for me to tell him. "Misaki..." I tell him, my eyes were trying to form tears but I pushed them back. "What did that cunt do?" He says, slightly frowning. "He got.. all his friends to.. talk shit about the infront of me.." I say, yui just stares at me. "Like what?" He says in an aggressive, eager tone.

"Uh.. they said I looked like a girl.. and that I was really skinny.. and.. they grabbed my hair and tugged it.. saying things like "Why?? Does it make you uNcOmFtErBlE", mocking me when I told them not to touch it.."

He stared at me. "I'm going to best his ass. I'm not even kidding this time" He tells me, I shake my head. "Please dont-" I tell him. "Why not? He treats you like absolute shit, and your still trying to be nice. He's an asshole" yui tells me..

"But.. I still love him.. I don't know why.." I say, he stares at me. "You know how dad was really fucking nice until our stupid step mother came in?" He asked, I nodded slowly. "She drank, and was rude. Leading him to do it" He said, i tilted my head in confusion. "I'm trying to say, its only going to get worse and you'll probably start acting like Misaki to make him love you. Meaning you'll be an asshole"

My heart dropped..

He's right.. but I still love him..

"But.. I do love him.. I'm not going to change because of him, I never want to be like that.." I say,

Yui takes a deep breath. "Mui. You know how that woman on the movie we watched the other day, her name was  'aunt mishie' ?" He asked, I nod slowly. "She was in an abusive relationship. Just like you, and she killed herself because of it." He says, giving me a hug. "Mui. I don't want you to get hurt because of Misaki, I don't want anything bad to happen to you and I'm sorry it does." He says, I started crying, I grasped into his back, feeling his hair.

"Its okay to cry mui, just let it out. It's okay" He said, I tried holding them back but started sobbing..

He slightly let go of the hug. "What about you can do my hair, I never let you and I know you want to do it" he says, I nod. Pushing a smile..

He spun around, I grabbed a bit of his hair. "Ah- I'm kinda.. not in the mood.. I dont feel very happy right now.." I tell him, he nods and turns back to me. "That's okay, how about you go to your room. Try rest or something?" He asks, I nod before hugging him. "Thank you yui.." I say, he nods. "Love you" he says, "you too"

(Brotherly love-)

"Hey mui, you seemed real sad yesterday, wanna hang out with my friends and I today? I promise they'll cheer you up. They're entertaining as fuck" genya asks, putting his hand over my shoulder. I look around to see if misakis in sight, "oh- sure- I'd love to hang out with you guys" I say, he smiles, holding my hand and dragging me to a table with a few people..

There were three girls.. or three but one has their shirt off.. so I hope to dear God it was a guy..

"Hey guys! A brought a new friend! Mui, introduce yourself!" He says, I look around, little confused before snapping back to reality.

"Uh- I'm muichiro.. muichiro toki-" "are you a boy or a girl?" I get asked bluntly by the person with their shirt off, "ino, be polite dumbass!" A girl with two black pigtails said, wracking him in the arm with the back of her hand. "No no its okay- I'm a guy-" I say, "you have lovely hair for a guy then.." a girl with one ponytail says in a quiet, muffled tone. "I agree, how long did it take to grow..?" A long haired girl with black fading into orange hair with big, pink eyes asked. "Uh-" I say,

"Okay, just sit down, I promise they're friendly. You just need to get used to them" genya say, patting a spot for me to sit down and sitting down.

"I WANNA TOUCH IT" the guy who asked my gender yelled, climbing onto the table and next to me, grabbing a bit of my hair. "INOSUKE STOP YOU DUMBASS ILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH" the pigtail girl yelled
