// Rin's point of view:
I'll admit, a few hours ago I was unreasonable. I end up unconscious and I didn't even touch the demon one bit. I was despicable. I just thought the demon was too strong for everyone, that my cursed flames were the only thing that could bring it back to hell.
"How are you feeling?" my younger brother sat on his desk as he spoke. I think I'll get a hand full of sermons from Yukio. I rose from my bed, "I'm good.." I lowered my head as I respond.
Kuro rested his palms on my knees, "You scared me, stupid!" Kuro said in relief. "What happened to the demon?" I asked.
"It disappeared," Yukio answered as he crossed his arms.
His response was, later on, followed by silence. Honestly, I don't know what to say. I lowered my head as I try to hide the embarrassment written all over my face. I hate the fact that I didn't listen to my brother. What I did could've been a big tragedy.
Why can't I just listen? Yukio had a point and he was just keeping me out of danger. Yukio has been protecting me ever since my father died because he promised my father that he will protect me no matter what.
But how long is he going to protect me?
"Yukio, how long are you going to protect me?"
"What?" Yukio reacted.
"I've been thinking, are you going to protect me forever?" I extended.
...I've been thinking if you're going to protect a demon like me for the rest of your life
Then I will only destroy the life you have...
"You know if you plan to protect a demon like me... For the rest of your life, are you going to waste the life you have?" I stated.
"I swore to Father that I'd protect you no matter what," he said with conviction.
"What about your future, Yukio?" I asked.
Yukio narrowed his eyebrows.
"Do you plan to have a family?"
"I think you're overthinking, Nii-san, I'm only sixteen." Yukio pushed his eyeglasses up.
Yeah, Rin, that's a bit too early to think about that.
I mentally talked to myself and I mentally slapped myself. I sighed as I scratched my head, how can I verbally express my thoughts?
"Maybe.. don't just focus on protecting me..? That's what I want to say... Maybe have some other distractions like... having a girlfriend or something?" I really tried my best. That was worth a shot.
Surprisingly, Yukio smiled, "I can't afford to have other distractions, Nii-san, you're an idiot, you'll die if I look away for one second." Yukio claimed.
I threw my offended shocked face at him, how bold of him to claim I'll die without him. But well, I guess, he's right in certain scenarios.
Yukio stood up and reached out for the door frame, "When the time comes that you can stand on your own feet, I'll let myself be... distracted." Yukio said as he threw a glance at me.
"But not today, besides, I'm still waiting for someone." He stood and was about to leave the room when he stopped right on the door frame.
...Who?
That was the time I realized that maybe I never actually knew Yukio. He has kept a lot of secrets from me. Our relationship has been a rocky one but I wish he would tell me things about himself. I'm his big brother, after all.
