Painful To Love And Lose.

Arrival on Planet Earth

Fang sighed for the millionth of time as Papa Zola, their somewhat annoying 'all-rounder' teacher went on about his mathematics. Boboiboy, his former enemy and current ally, leaned back and smiled.

Fang again sighed. 'Will this day ever end?'

After the seamlessly long wait, school had ended. Everyone decided to meet up at the chocolate shop.

As they reached 'Tok Aba's Kokotiam' or "Grandad's Coco-shop", everyone noticed a tall man, unusual at this time, helping Tok Aba in the shop with his work. This was suspicious or so they thought as they quickened their steps.

However reaching there, it proved to be something they could never even dare think, could happen anytime this soon,

"Kaizo?!"

Kaizo almost shuddered at their sudden scream of surprise. Composing himself just as quickly, he gave a small smirk, "Hey. All of you, It's been a while."

Boboiboy was the first to recover from his shock. "Kaizo, why are you here, helping... Tok Aba?"

"I'm here to stay for sometime. You can guess it as," he paused, lips pursing as he thought, "a long vacation," he exhaled as he continued, "out of every mission."

"Whoa! Kaizo! Then you are gonna be with us now. No more fight, right?" Gopal, Fang's glutton of a friend asked, almost jumping in a childlike joy.

"Yeah. You can say that. I've not been assigned any mission. So no more fights with any of you." Kaizo spoke, now slightly smiling at them.

'They seem happy, even though I caused them pain, specially my brother.' he thought.

"Awesome!" Boboiboy grinned doing his signature thumbs up.

All the while, Fang stayed where he was, completely silent. His eyes never letting go of the sight of his brother, neither did Kaizo's.

"Captain? I-" Fang started.

"And yes. Fang you don't have to call me captain. I'd rather like to hear what you used to call me."

Fang's eyes slowly widened. Is this really happening?

How long had he been waiting for this? No one would know beside him. He swallowed and whispered in a barely audible voice, "Big bro?"

Kaizo nodded, Fang smiled.
'This is not a dream ' Fang thought hardly missing a beat, 'This really... isn't a dream.'

Fang just stood looking at his brother unsure of what he should do. Kaizo waited with him, it hurt to see the mixed feelings Fang was holding for him. He exhaled and let his heart do whatever it felt was right.

Because for the first time, he was doing what was right.

Fang blinked in the sudden touch of familiar fabric. It was warm, tightening by seconds yet gentle and soft. His shaking arm made its way around the warmth. This felt nice. Kaizo hugged his now shaking form as tight as Fang did. Tears fell freely from Fang's eyes, as if they were giving a complaint of his ignorance. Kaizo closed his eyes, afraid that the overwhelming emotion would wreck him.

Fang wanted that more than he thought. He was just 5 when he was pulled away from him. He had never received his parental care so his brother was his closest, his best friend whom he could share everything with. But after being labelled a captain, Kaizo had stopped looking after him, completely.

When did hard work turn into downright cruelty? None of them knew the answer.

What they knew was, now he's able to be his big bro again. He wasn't a captain anymore. He didn't need to act stone cold. He didn't have to pretend not to care anymore. It was a relief, a big relief.

After all it's been a long time since he got him back. And he wished for it to last for a long time too.

TBC FOR NOW!

Kaizo: It's alright! Stop it.

Fang: *still hugging* Nooo!! it's been so long!!! Where were you?

Kaizo: Jeez... Oii Aiko what the hell?!

Me (Aiko): *sneaking out with Fang's donut* Uhhh... bye!

Kaizo: Fang?

Fang: *crushing him in the hug* yeh?

Kaizo: Aiko took your red carrot donut.

Fang: What? NOO! AIKOO!!

Aiko (Long gone): *munching happily* He can't find me.

Fang: *slams the door open* Give Me My DONUT!!

Aiko: Oops... my bad! *runs*

Fang: Get back!

Kaizo: Jeez such drama queens! *smiling cuz he's secretly happy to have Fang*
