Shattered Mirrors (Depressed Karamatsu x reader)

Chapter 6: Big Brother

We look over and sure enough it was my older brother, Chibita. I guess I forgot he was visiting today. I pulled away from Karamatsu to explain myself. "Don't freak out. It's not what it looks like okay." I say and he gave me a look "Really? What's he doing here anyway?"

I look at Karamatsu and then back at my brother. "He's staying with me for a while." I say with a nervous laugh. He pinched the bridge of his nose and pointed in the direction of the kitchen. "We need to talk then." He says walking to the kitchen. I turn to Karamatsu "I'll be right back." I say before kissing his cheek and heading to the kitchen.

"Okay, So why is he here?" Chibita asked "and don't lie to me." I nod and decided to tell him about the whole thing. I watched him glance to the side before turning his attention to me. "So you're going take care of him till he is better?" He asked and I nod "of course, I care about him a lot."

My brother smirked "oh I know. I know that and that you love him." He says and I blush lightly "It's not exactly a secret that you love him either." He laughs "and though I don't like the idea of you two being alone in this house." I rolled my eyes as he continued "I'm happy to see you stepped up to take care of him."

Now it was my turn to smile as we ended the conversation and head back to the living room. There we saw Karamatsu sat on the couch fiddling with his guitar. He glanced up at us and I smile. "He said you're welcome to stay me with however long you need." I say and Karamatsu smiles. "Yup. But don't do anything to risky with my sister." I blush and sent a glare to my brother. Karamatsu laughs and nods.

I had Chibita help in moving Karamatsu's belongings to my guest room. Karamatsu wanted to help but I kept assuring him that it was okay. After everything was in place I went to prepare dinner. Chibita said he had to get home so he left, meaning I'm alone with Karamatsu.

Towards the end of cooking I felt Karamatsu wrap his arms around my waist, pushing his face into my back. I heard him muffle a sorry and I stop cooking. "What are you saying sorry for?" I ask placing my hands on top of his. "Because you have watch over me like a child. Sorry about that." I sigh and turn around in his hold.

"That's not something to apologize for. I said I love you and I meant it." I say kissing his cheek. "Dinner is almost done. If you still want to help, could you set the table please?" He smiles and nods "I think I can manage that."
