That One Boy (Uruki)

Chapter 3

(Ruki POV)

I ran home, just like what Uruha told me to do. I was soaked, I'm cold now, and I'm only 2 blocks away. I'm losing breath and I'm still forcing myself to run.

Only 1 more block and I'm now in front of my porch step. I stopped and tried to reach my breath. Once it was properly leveled, I opened my home door and entered. My parents left a note on the door.

"Dear Ruki,
We are gone for a business trip. We won't be back until the Saturday after the next. Your brother is going to watch over you. Call me of there are any problems.....
-Mama, Papa"

The note read.

I walked upstairs and saw my brother leave his bedroom. "Hey. Why are you--" he asked and I cut him off.

"I fell into a.... pond." I responded and went to my bedroom. He followed and watched me remove my wet clothing. I looked up and saw him at my door. Luckily, I was only without a shirt. "Hey hey hey!! Get out you hentai!!" I fussed. He laughed and left and closed my door.

I forgot to mention he's 18. Yeah. He is a perv and it's annoying. I took the rest of my damp clothing off, along with underwear, and showered. I had a bathroom in my room. I stood in the tub and watched the water pour and sprinkle on my head and to my body. Ugh! That was the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened. I washed my body with strawberry kiwi scented body wash and washed my body, then, rinsed the soap off.

After my shower, I stepped out, dried off and entered my room once again. I found my pj pants and slipped those on along with my adorable button down pj shirt. I blow dried my shoulder length blonde and black hair and straightened it with the flat irons. I looked at my reflection in the mirror.

"Wow..." I mumbled. I do look nerdy with glasses, but it's kinda cute for me.... I mean.... well...

"Ruki! I made us some lunch!" My brother (his name is Moji) called. I went downstairs and saw him in the kitchen making us grilled cheese sandwiches. He had only boxers on and he was somewhat muscular. He had abs and small biceps though.

"Onee-chan... Put some pants on!" I murmured. He looked at me and smirked.

"Why? You don't wanna see me like this?" He asked and smirked evilly. I raised an eyebrow and he handed me my sandwich. I sighed and sat at the table, then ate a bite of it. "What's that smell? It smells sweet?" He asked.

"I just got out the shower." I replied and took another bite from it. He chuckled.

"Okay then. You smell delicious." He was already half done his sandwich and I only took three bites from it.

"Uhh... thanks.." I responded and took a deep sigh.

(Uruha POV)

Me and the guys were eating lunch at the mall. We had a taste for some pizza. I still felt bad for Ruki. Aoi was definitely being a jerk when he did that.

"Whatchu thinking about Uru-kun?" Kai asked and I looked at him.

"B-betsuni... etto..." I didn't want to say another word. All I did was sigh.

"Okay? Etto... What do you guys wanna do now?" Kai asked and finished his pizza. We all shrugged. "I don't know. We should go to that new comic book/ manga story downtown." Reita spoke and sipped his Sprite soda.

"That sounds like a good idea." Aoi mumbled. I nodded and pursed my lips. I do have Ruki on my mind. He looked so melancholy, so depressed, so... broken. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I'm nice to the little guy, but he sees I hang around guys that make fun of him. It's making me feel like a bad person. I shouldn't be feeling like a bad person, ne?
