Before I return to the Hotel and start my usual business and to endlessly entertain our important customers, I decided to walk my little brother to school, and at least accompany him until he reaches the academy's main Foyer. It's already past 10am in the morning--the sky is already gloomy and it looks like it's going to snow any minute from now.
There's this unusual silence between the two of us while we're walking along the lonely sidewalk towards his school. He's walking briskly ahead of me, apparent that he doesn't want me to get too close to him. He might be bothered about earlier, when I suddenly spoke out those words.
It's true. I love him, and he's the only important person for me.
But I guess what I'm doing right now contradicts to what I'm actually telling him. I really do regret the fact that I told him I'm letting him go after marrying Chiyoko. I do not want that to happen. I don't want to let him go.
But my selfishness will only ruin his life for good. Society won't accept our love. No matter what we do, we're still bounded by blood. He's still my younger brother.
"Yuki..." I finally broke the silence between the two of us.
"What is it?"
He's still not facing me.
"Slow down will you?"
"Why would I? I'm running late..."
He's persistent. All I could do is to catch up with him and hold his hand.
As expected, his soft hand is warm. It gives me the warmth I need .
He gasps as he slows down.
"Let us stay this way for a moment." I whispered. "Just for now, please remove any confusion that's in your mind right now."
"..."
He's still not facing me. Instead, he's wearing a melancholic face while his eyes are directly on the pavement.
"Aniue..."
"Yes?"
"Let go of me now."
"Why?"
"We're a few meters away from the academy's gate. Somebody might see us."
Immediately, I let go of his hand.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay." He faces me with a smile. "Thank you for accompanying me up until here."
"Take Care and good luck with your play." I smiled at him. Slowly, I lean my face towards him and kiss his forehead.
Yuki's eyes widen of surprise. His blushing until his ears. He's so cute. I can't help myself from chuckling. The students who were at that time loitering around the school gates saw us and they started blushing.
"Y-You don't have to do that aniue..." He whispers. "I'm going now."
"Okay Yuki."
He then walks away as he enters the academy. When I was about to leave the place, a black sedan suddenly stops along the way.
"Wow. Seiri onii-chan."
She's the last person that would cross my mind right now. It's Nanase, stepping down from the car. It's a first, she's a punctual student but now, she's running late. I stopped and gazed at her.
"Why Hirokawa-san, you're late today."
"You kissed Yuki in front of the crowd. How disgusting onii-chan." She raises one of her eyebrows as she lectures me again--she's like a nagging girlfriend honestly.
