Brother's Love (Yuumika Story)

Chapter 12

Yuu was in a bad mood all day, he paid no one any attention and wanted to be left alone. He even took the pleasure of skipping two classes of the day, he wasn't himself that day and he knew just why.

"Mika-kun is going to Tokyo today?" Yoichi asked. They were both skipping class, they were on the school roof which was forbidden but teens like them weren't fancy about obeying rules. "To see his real father."

"It's the deal for Erika taking Mika." Yuu said. "Mika must always visit twice a month."

"It isn't that much." Yoichi said. "I'm surprised a father settled for just that, but why is it bumming you out?"

"Well lately I've been upset being all alone."

Yoichi smirked. "You two are awfully close, I'm beginning to suspect it isn't just brotherly love anymore."

"BE QUIET." Yuu yelled as Yoichi laughed. "I'm being serious, I miss him a lot when he's gone."

"Man up Yuu-kun, the boy has to visit his father." Yoichi said. "If you'll get so lonely then why not stop by my place."

"Really? I can?"

"Yup. I'll have a car come pick you up from your home."

It had reached a point where Yuu needed to be with someone when Mika was away, it was so lonely without him. He never knew he would get this close to Mika, but even at that it creeped him a bit. He wasn't supposed to be this fond of Mika, at this point he was acting like a lover and not a brother. There were times, when it was just the two of them, his own dad would leave him all alone for days and he enjoyed being alone. Now he didn't want to be so far away from Mika.

Even in school, they were separated in their classes and each time class was over, Yuu was so eager to see Mika. Yuu had even begun studying harder so in their senior year he could be in the same class with Mika, so they wouldn't be apart. His fixation on Mika was becoming unhealthy, he felt like Mika might soon get uncomfortable about it and keep his distance and Yuu didn't want that.

"You know its pretty nice." Yoichi said. "Yuu-kun and Mika-kun have been brothers for only a few months and yet look at you, I'm so jealous right now."

Yuu remembered, sometime ago Yoichi mentioned hating his older sister. It probably wasn't easy for Yoichi, he was in the midst of two people with strong connection to their siblings. Yuu was close to Mika and they weren't blood related, Kimizuki was close to Mirai, they were blood siblings but of different fathers. While he and his blood sister of the same parents were on bad terms.

"Yoichi, why not talk to your sister?"

"I'm not interested, besides its not like it adds or takes away from my life, so I'm perfectly fine without her. Let's not worry ourselves on irrelevant things Yuu-kun."

Yoichi smiled as usual but Yuu could tell it was a fake smile, a smile that was trying to hide pains, he'd been around Mika long enough to know that smile. Mika would always give that smile to everyone except him....

Classes were over for the day and Mika couldn't be more happier, he wanted to see Yuu as quickly as possible. He noticed his desires to be around Yuu, it wasn't his fault, Yuu was the only one who truly cared to know what Mika was feeling, he was the only one Mika was open up to. He was the only one Mika loved, so it was naturally Mika was hung up on him.

"Mikaela."

Just as he was about leaving, Lacus and Renée caught up to him.

"You're in a bit of a hurry." Lacus said.
