Brother

"Kelvin's pov "

One faithful night, I was having dinner with my father while we chat and laugh like we always do when suddenly a phone rang, craife the nice butler who always made sure I didn't need anything brings him the phone immediately.

when he answers the phone he goes pale as if he heard a ghost but it soon turns to anger as he tries to talk with the person on the phone shouting "where are you" and after a little while he sets the phone down hitting it on the table with a bang.

That startles me a little as I stopped eating, it's the first time I have seen my cheery father so angry, with a huff of his breath he turns somberly before he comes up to me and rubs my head saying "sorry sport, there's an emergency that dad has to attend to" I nod my head as I reassure him with a smile, he turns back and heads outside as some guards and workers leave with him while craife stays with me, I ask craife "aren't you going with them?"

Craife replies in a playful tone "If you want me gone kelvin, you can just say so and I'll be gone"

"Uhm, no, that's not what I meant" as I tried to explain myself to craife in a daze who then let's out a loud laughter as he says "you're so fun to tease kelvin."

I pouted feeling embarrassed and continued to eat my food, when I finished eating I headed to my room feeling tired and sleepy after a long day, craife followed at my back as I went up the stairs to the second floor where my room is on the east wing with an empty unused room right across.

I walked thinking to myself how many empty rooms there are in this house and if they'll ever be filled. I finally entered my room which appeared neat and tidy unlike how I left it in the morning.

I laid on my bed to sleep as craife put the blanket on me and sits beside me asking "do you want a bed time story kelvin?" Which got me embarrassed once again as I quickly replied "No, I'm not a kid craife, only kids like bedtime stories"

He chuckles a little as he says "ah I didn't know about that, I guess there's no more bedtime stories for you since you're not a kid anymore" he then stood up and switched off the light and came back carrying a chair to sit beside me silently watching as I dozed off finally going to sleep.

I was asleep when I started hearing voices and sounds of things moving making me wake up, when I looked around it was very early in the morning and the sun hasn't come up yet. I walked out of my room and that's when I saw the workers carrying different things arranging the room right across mine with craife giving them directions.

I went downstairs and headed to the living room, when I entered I found dad standing with an unfamiliar man who appears to be a doctor examining someone lying on a chair.

I approached them to get a closer look only to see that the person who was being examined was an unconscious boy who looked the same age and height as me and had an uncanny resemblance to dad.

The doctor finished examining him and faced dad saying "there's nothing to worry about, just let him rest for a while"

Dad nods saying "thank you doctor" as the doctor takes his leave.

I then went to my dad and asked "who's he dad?"

He looked at me with a smile before replying "he's your brother"

I look back at the unconscious boy with a smile thinking to myself "I have a brother" just as craife enter the room saying "It's ready"

Dad then carries him up the stairs to the newly arranged room laying him gently on the bed. We all stared quietly as he continued his silent slumber before dad finally breaks the silence saying "come on, we should let him rest now"

We all head out of the room as craife goes downstairs while dad heads to his room upstairs, I also headed back to my room and slept a little before waking up in the morning and getting ready for the day.

It was summer break so there was no school, by sunrise I was up outside meditating together with craife continuing for an hour after sunrise.

After meditating then came breakfast before heading to the gym for sparring with dad, then came body training, honing my skills, honing the basics and then reading a lot of theory.

After lunch I had time for myself, I could finally play games, watch movies and cartoons or even ask craife to drive me to town to hangout with friends but strangely I wasn't in the mood for any of that today, when I climbed up the stairs I headed right to my brother's room and when I reached I opened the door quietly peeking inside where I saw him in the same position he was left in the morning, still unconscious.

I headed back and played games occasionally taking a peek of my brother's room who still didn't wake up even after dinner until I slept off, the next day I checked his room the moment I woke up where I met dad and craife already standing over him but he was still unconscious and unmoving.

After preparing I set out to repeat the same routine as yesterday and after finally finishing for the day I head to my brother's room once again who as I enter is still unconscious, I went close to him this time and as I stared at him I noticed how beautiful his features are even when he was unconscious before I said "what are you, the reverse sleeping beauty?" I laughed a little as the words left my mouth before I had another thought as I said "I wonder if what will wake you is a princess's kiss or is it a prince's kiss?"

I laughed a little more at my joke before finally staring at him once again this time my hand reaching for his face when suddenly all my senses warned me and when I looked I saw ominous glazed white eyes staring right at me as if staring right into my soul, it was his eyes, he was awake but rather than joy all I felt was deep fear that made me run out of the room as fast as I could.
