Nezu is so handsome but I need to remind myself this is a Hayato fanfic I'm writing xD

But just throwing Nezu appreciation because I don't see enough of him! 

---------------------------------------------

It was finally the weekend which meant my brothers and I can just relax at home. Grandma and Saikawa had stepped out for the day being the busy woman my Grandma is. 

With that, Ryuuichi and I decided to get some of our chores done. 

"Hey Ryuuichi, want me to help you hang the laundry?" 

I walked out to the backyard with the basket of clothes and placed it next to the drying rack. 

Ryuuichi then walked out with Kotaro in his arms. "Sure, we can hang them together. Thanks for the help." 

"No problem. Kotaro how about playing around here while your nii-chan and I hang the clothes, okay?" 

I lightly squeezed Kotaro's cheek as Ryuuichi put him down. The baby boy nodded in understanding and ran towards the nearby bushes. 

"So, what did Yuki and Inomata say when you gave them the box of chocolates?" I asked my brother, knowing that I never had the chance to follow up with him about it. 

"Oh they both seemed really nervous for some reason but I told them it was just my appreciation. Plus, Ushimaru mentioned about wanting to check out the Babysitters Club one day." He answered while picking up some socks and hanging them. 

Yup, he is very clueless that both girls has a liking to him. 

"Then we should invite Yuki to the Club one of these days when it isn't so busy." I hinted with a smile. I wonder if he has feelings for one of them...probably not. I know Ryuuichi is focused on taking care of Kotaro at this moment. 

Looking over where Kotaro is, I noticed the boy staring at something on the ground. "What's Kotaro looking at?" 

Ryuuichi also looked at Kotaro's direction and understood what his baby brother was staring at. "Oh, he's looking at some ants." Ryuuichi patted his pants then called out to him. "Kotaro, you can follow the ants but don't go off too far!"

We didn't hear a response from Kotaro but I saw him nod his head then walked along the path through the bushes. 

"Your brother sure is a curious fellow." I told Ryuuichi while giggling. 

"Yeah, as long as its something harmless." Ryuuichi said as he prepared to hang up another sock. 

We spent the next couple minutes hanging the clothes and were just about done until we heard Kotaro behind us. 

"Nii-chan! Yu-a!" 

Kotaro approached Ryuuichi's leg and started pulling on his pant leg. 

"Hm? What is it Kotaro?" Ryuuichi questioned the boy. 

I looked down at him and saw Kotaro pointing towards the direction he was just at. He then pulled Ryuuichi's pants indicating us to follow him. 

"Did you want to show us something Kotaro?" I asked my baby brother. 

"Uhn" Kotaro nodded while still pulling his elder brothers pants. 

"Wait Kotaro! I can't walk properly if you pull me like that!" Ryuuichi protested.
