When Genji saw his older brother coming over he averted his eyes swiping off the pass from his forehead crumpling it into his fist with no intention of using it. He kept his eyes to the ground not wanting to meet his brothers eyes and brushing his hair down not wanting his brother to see the rather large scar over his left eyebrow that he had gotten the night previous, Kateyko didn't usually walk in on one of their dads many beat down session but last night the side door opened at the wrong time their father, clenched fists standing over Genji's shaking body an arm raised to in defense. And what did Kateyki do? He cooly walked straight to his room like he had seen nothing, Genji didn't blame his older brother for what happened most every night, he blamed himself. Remembering during one of the worst beatings he had ever gotten his father screamed in his face that it was Genji's fault that his mother was sick, and he was right. His mom had been sick ever since he had remembered being told that she started getting since he was born, and it didn't help that when he was young he would always make his bother crank up the air conditioning when their dad wasn't home even in the winter. This made their mom even more sick becoming bed ridden and nearly died when she gave birth to Kuro, he remembered them bringing in the huge machine to regulate her breathing and how expensive the hospital bed was. He loved his mother with all his heart and used to visit her in her room all the time but when dad found out he was going into her room he didn't just beat him but made him addicted to opioids for a month before forcing him to go through withdrawal causing violent episodes of seizers and vomiting. He still had cravings for the drugs to this day but never gave in to them, he told people who sometimes saw a bruise or two that he had gotten them from skateboarding not wanting anyone to think he was weak.

He looked back up giving a half smile at his brother making the silent unspoken agreement to forget about last night clapping a hand on his brothers back. "What's up, bro ready to go?" he asked wanting to do anything to get away from his much hated teacher.
