"Algebraic equation, statement of the equality of two expressions formulated by applying to a set of variables the algebraic operations, namely, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to a power, and extraction of a root."
I explained to the little Minamoto brother. I had come over to the Minamoto's this weekend because prince charming asked me to tutor his younger brother in his stead.
Being an exorcist and student council president at the same time must be pretty exhausting..
"U-Uhm, nee-chan.. How do I solve x³ + 1 and (y⁴x² + 2xy – y)/(x – 1) = 12..?"
Kou asked hesitantly and avoided my gaze, his cheeks a bright red hue in embarrassment. My eyes lit up in excitement and awe at the younger male's expression.
I couldn't hold it in and glomped the boy in a big warm hug.
"Aww..~! You're so adorable, Kuma-kun~!" Giggling in glee, I rubbed my cheek against his.
Causing his whole face to light up in a brighter shade of red. I always wanted a little sibling.
He sat there with a face that of a tomato's, and stayed as awkwardly still as possible. Maybe due to the fact that no other female showed him any type of affection other than his relatives.
I gave his warm cheek a smooch and we both stayed in our position for awhile.
Until a jealous older brother ruined it.
"Ehh..~ Usagi-chan, why don't you ever give me hugs and kisses?"
I stuck my tongue out at the pouting prince of the school. Grabbing Kou's cheeks and squishing them, I forcefully but gently turned his squished face to show the older brother.
"How could you let this adorable little guy handle all the chores..! That's so cruel, Mitsubachi. He must always feel tired.. You should be ashamed of yourself!"
I ranted while continuing to pamper Kou. "I-I'm taller than you, nee-chan.." Shush child.
Teru huffed and crossed his arms, puffing his cheeks out in a pout.
"I met you first, you know."
The older brother kept sulking around to the point that I believed he wasn't acting anymore and that he was actually jealous of all the love and affection his younger brother was receiving. But come on, who doesn't want to love and protect Minamoto Kou at all costs?
And that's how Kou and I ended up in his room to escape his jealous older brother.
"Okay, so now you just have to take the derivative and.."
My explanation slowly trailed off as I saw Kou's light blue eyes focused on me instead. I tilted my head and smiled softly, he was thinking of something deeply about.. me maybe? He snapped out of it when I blew air into his face.
Just like before, his cheeks lit up in embarrassment of being caught. I laughed lightly and shook my head.
Tidying up a little and throwing the pencil shavings as well as the few pieces of crumpled paper away, I suggested a break and Kou agreed.
Now we were sitting on the bedroom floor and drinking iced tea. We sat in comfortable silence while I rechecked his work, I don't want my breath to go to waste. He has to pass.
"These are looking pretty good--"
"Are you and Teru-nii dating?" He suddenly interjected out of the blue. I blinked twice and processed the question in my head. First the chattering students, then Hanako, and now Kou?
"No. Not really, why?"
Kou seemed like a deer caught in headlights when I asked. He thought for so long that I swear I could see steam blowing out of both his ears. I panicked and waved my hands in dismissal frantically. I was afraid he might combust under pressure.
"Y-You don't have to answer--!"
I was suddenly caught off when the young Minamoto bowed his head down loudly, thankfully the backs of his hand cushioning the blow.
"E-EH?!?!" Crawling a few feet away from the male in a begging position in shock, it took everything in me not to laugh and applaud him at his next words.
"M-Marry me, Onee-chan!" He flamboyantly proposed.
Hold on hold on hold on, we're not in a hentai! And I can't date my best friend's little brother! Also, I don't want to be called a pedo! Date daikon instead!! Ask her out insteadddd!
We both stayed in our spot. Kou's eyes were squeezed shut and his cheeks were a bright hue. He was readying himself for the impact. Meanwhile I sat there, cheeks flushed and internally panicking. I didn't want to hurt the poor boy's feelings..!
As if hearing my internal prayer to escape the situation, Teru burst into the room to scold his younger brother. I've never been happier and more thankful to see this man in my whole life!
"Kou! I'm the one that's going to marry her!" I didn't expect him to say that. Scold him you idiot Mitsubachiiiii!!!
My face whited out and I laid there awkwardly, watching the two brothers bicker back and forth about who gets to marry me. I'm no longer happy.
"But you can't marry her! She says you're not even dating!" Kou argued.
I groaned and face palmed myself with both hands, no words can explain the feelings of exasperation I am feeling right now in this situation.
