The Role He Plays

"Crap." Shiori cursed under her breath, stopping in the middle of the stairs and rummaging in her bag as she tries to find something.

The people who are walking in front of her, namely Kyou, Yasuko, and Asuka, turned their heads to look at her as they wondered what was wrong. The two girls glanced at each other while the black-haired Alpha walked closer to the distressed Omega before asking, "What's wrong?"

Shiori rolled her eyes and sighed, "I think I left my phone upstairs."

"Then hurry up and get it." Kyou nonchalantly said, turning his back around but stopped when a hand grabbed onto his arms which forced him to look at Shiori. "What?"

Shiori, who was then standing as she bowed her head, slowly looked up into his eyes while flickering her eyelashes as if giving him a 'puppy eyes' look. Kyou can't help but grimace in disgust as he imagines her with a pair of literal dog ears. Ah. That look could have worked with anyone. But unluckily for her, not him.

"No." Kyou strongly denies whatever the blond will ask of him; eyes then widened as Shiori started clinging onto his arms, which made the latter groan in annoyance.

Shiori pouted, pulling on his arms. "But I haven't said anything!"

"I know what you want, Shio." Kyou sighed, massaging the bridge of his nose before glaring straight at her. "You want me to get it for you, right?"

Shiori slowly shifted her gaze to the side, whistling. "Of course not~"

"Oh really?" Kyou nodded, shrugging. "Well then. Go. It might get too dark on the way if you keep on dilly-dallying."

Shiori squinted her eyes and pouted angrily as she internally cursed at the Alpha in front of her. 'Damn. This guy is being difficult.' She then grabbed his wrist again, turning her heel away and pulling the Alpha, whose eyes widen as he didn't have the time to react before he was pulled by the Omega, as she rushes up the stairs and shouted, "Yako, Fujimori-san. Sorry. I forgot something so you two can go first!"

Suffocating. Rei didn't know what else to describe what he was feeling aside from that word. His chest felt like someone was pushing his lungs and restricting his breath. He tightly closed his eyes, raising his head to face the ceiling as he hoped to stop the tears from filling up his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes and felt the pair of arms around him, tightening. A single tear ran down his cheeks as he mentally groaned. Fuck. The Alpha suddenly hugged him earlier and he didn't have the strength to push him away. He is just so stupid!

He sighed, breath shaking, before whispering. "Let me go."

"No." Haruo shook his head, placing a hand behind Rei's head.

"Haru..." Rei placed both of his hands on the person's chest as he gently tried to push him away but his eyes widened, gasping when the Alpha just pulled him closer and hugged him tighter before whispering, "I'm scared."

When the red-haired Omega didn't react nor had the strength to even mutter a word, Haruo slowly removed himself from Rei and grabbed his cheeks using one hand while the other was still on the Omega's waist. "I'm scared that you will go back to your old ways if I let you go anywhere right now."

"Old ways..."

Of course. How could he not know what Haruo was talking about? He was completely aware of his attitude whenever they went their separate ways. He did it back then. He ran away from Haruo before he even confessed to him. Even 2 years ago, when found himself countless times being tired of their setup and running away but only to go back to him afterward. The same reason why he met and had certain 'relations' with guys like Souta and other guys whom he already forgot the names of in the first place. He knew. 'They' knew.

He glared at Haruo before pushing him away, stepping back. "Whatever I am doing to myself, it's none of your business."

"How can you say that?! You---" Haruo stopped to take a deep breath, calming himself down before he had a complete outburst, then warmly stares into Rei's distant sky-blue eyes. "I'm your older brother."

Rei's eyes widened at what he heard. Older brother? Them? Brothers? Is he hearing it right? Is this a joke? He scoffed, looking away as he forced a laugh, then stopped. 'My goodness.' He thought, 'After all this time, he---' He laughed again, turning around to avoid the confused gaze of the Alpha. Rei then ran his fingers through his hair in frustration while his other hand was on top of the kitchen counter clenched tightly in a fist. He placed both of his fists on the counter with his head draped down before glancing at Haruo.

"Ah! Brother?" He sarcastically scoffed, "What's with this bullshit? Are you still playing the role of an older brother?"

It's Haruo's turn to be shocked, taking a step toward Rei. "Playing? What the hell are you saying? You've always been like a little brother to me."

"Little brother, huh?" Rei whispered to himself, smirking and letting both hands drop to his side.

He turned around to face Haruo, who was about to step back in shock but was stopped when Rei grabbed his collar and pulled him closer. Their lips crashed in a harsh kiss. Rei wrapped his arms around Haruo's neck, pulling him closer and deeper before smirking. He watches as Alpha closes his eyes and melts onto them before breaking the kiss. Smirking even wider, the Alpha slowly opened his eyes to look at him.

"Well?" He leaned closer to Haruo, staring into his eyes. "Older brothers don't let their younger brother kiss them, right?"

Haruo stares back at Rei, breathing loudly through his mouth while his eyes travel from Rei's eyes down to his red lips before gulping. "Rei... This is..."

"Older brothers..." Rei placed his hand on Haruo's cheeks, sighing as he rubs the Alpha's swollen lips. "Don't kiss back their younger brother." 

Not allowing room for denial and rejection, Omega immediately leaned closer to kiss him again. This time, licking Haruo's bottom lip and asking for an entry which the other complies. The red-haired Omega closed his eyes and softly moaned when their tongues touched, sucking and twirling around each other. Haruo lifted his hands and rest them on Rei's waist before grabbing his closer, their hard, clothed shafts pressing against each other. This is when Rei breaks the kiss again and teasingly whispers onto Haruo's lips, "And older brothers don't get hard for their younger brother."
