NANASE YUTAROU
............................................................................................................................................................
Yuki's statement surprised Kou, and it showed. After all, it had been more than eight years since his brother had even considered having a relationship, male or not, and he was surprised Yutarou hadn't told him about it, though that couldn't have been helped. "Ah, no, it's not like that. We're just friends." "Ah, I see." Kou sensed Yuki pouting beside him but tried to ignore it. "I didn't know he have a brother though. He's never told me about you. My name's Hiruka." "I'm Kou. And I'm not surprised, our family situation is kind of complicated. I live in Hiroshima so we don't get to see each other often, and lately we haven't been able to talk at all, since my phone was confiscated..." Now that he realized Hiruka was a friend of his brother and niece, Kou felt much more comfortable, and was charismatic. XX
"Say, since you're looking for Yucc-... Yutaro-san, I'll take both of you to his workplace, cause he's probably isn't home right now. Okay?" "I would appreciate that, thank you, Hiruka-san." The journey to the studio was an interesting one, to say the least. Kou seemed to curl in on himself whenever something particularly loud happened, or when other people got too close or crowded, and he stuck close to Hiruka and Yuki the way a three-year-old would to their parent. At one point he actually yelped when someone bumped into him on the street. "I'm sorry, I've never been allowed to go out in public that much...I'm not used to the city yet." XX
When they arrived at the studio building, the receptionist greeted Yuki and took note of her two visitors, Kou doing his best to make conversation with Hiruka. He was interested in the man, in his beautifully-dyed hair and his friendship with Yuki. Yui greeted Yuki out of habit, her expression shifting to excitement when she realized Hiruka was with her and to shock when her gaze fell on Kou. There were no words spoken before the blonde woman had crossed the room and taken Kou's face into her hands, inspecting his black eye with a frown and intense stare. XX
"Sorayuki-kun, can you go get Yutarou for me? They're in the recording studio." A simple truth, though the three musicians certainly weren't recording anything. Jun was asleep, Kenta and Yutarou practicing the half a song they'd finished and testing how loud they could play before they woke Jun up. They stopped what they were doing when Hiruka walked in, Kenta shooting a suggestive look Yuta's way and kicking Jun awake. "Sora! I wasn't expecting you, what're you doing here?" "Hey, I happened to come across your brother while I was working." Yutarou paused at that, those words being the last thing he'd hear anyone say. "Wait, Kou's here?" Once the initial shock subsided, Yuta hurriedly set his guitar aside and followed Hiruka out of the recording studio, Kou attempting to stave off Yui's questions about his eye and looking slightly sheepish when his brother came into view. XX
Yutarou grew tense, his awkward little brother miles away from home and sporting a black eye that looked like it would take at least a week to heal. "Kou, what happened?" "Ah, do you mean what happened to make me come all the way here, or-" "Did they hit you." A long moment passed, totally silent, before Kou nodded, Yutarou neglecting to say another word before storming across the room to find his phone and leaving, just barely managing not to slam the studio door. Yui sighed as he left. "Well, my guess is he's off to call his parents. Kou, I can cover up your eye with some makeup if you'd like, just to take the attention off it. Yu-chan, do you want to help?" Yuki agreed with slight hesitation, obviously not used to seeing her dad angry but not necessarily scared of it. XX
"Sorayuki-kun," Yui said, turning to Hiruka with a half-smile. "This probably isn't the nicest way to learn about Yuta's family, but we do appreciate you helping Kou." "Ruru-san, maybe if you go kiss tou-san he'll stop being mad." "Alright, we'll be going now!" XX
In the hall, Yutarou waited a full two minutes before his mother finally picked up the phone. "Yutarou, why are you calling?" "Oh, so your son disappears and you don't even bother to ask if I know where he is? How kind of you." "You know as well as I do that Keiko will return home soon enough. Unlike you, she actually respects her parents." "First of all, his name is Kou, not that you care. And he doesn't respect you. He's scared of you. Y'know, probably because you disowned your other son just because he chose to marry a girl you didn't approve of." "How dare you speak that way to me-" "So tell me how he got a black eye. Of course, he already told me, but it's always nice to have the person admit it." "I refuse to talk to you in such a crude way." "You refuse-" And without another word, the other line hung up, the telltale beep making Yuta raise a hand to throw his cell phone against the wall. XXX
