Chapter 1: Moving to a new life
The next week they turned in the marriage papers.
Masaki and his mother packed up their stuff in their small apartment as well during that week. One more week was left till the end of the first semester in school. The new parents decided that Masaki and his mom will move in the Sakurai home till they can move to their new home during the summer break…
And that Sunday, the four of them met for the first time as a family…
Masaki followed his mom into the restaurant where they decided to meet and have lunch together. He was shy and curious in the same time. He trusted his mom when she said his new dad was a nice man but he was more curious about his new brother! He always wanted to have brothers or sisters so he couldn’t wait to meet this boy (‘Sho’, his mom taught him before hand)
“Sorry to make you wait…” his mom’s voice woke Masaki from his thoughts.
“No problem at all! Come, sit down!” the man with a polite smile stood up to pull out a seat to the woman. “You must be Masaki-kun…” he turned to him then.
“Hai! Hajimemashite!” the boy said with a beaming smile.
“I’m Sakurai Shuntaro. I’ll be your father, Masaki-kun. Yoroshiku, ne?” the man patted his head before they sat down. “This is my son, Sho” he said then introducing the boy who did not say a thing or move a muscle so far.
Masaki looked curiously at the boy in front of him and smiled at him brightly. He had black hair and handsome face with fierce eyes and plump lips. The younger boy just thought he was lucky to get such guy as his brother. But Sho stared back at him with a bored or rather annoyed expression for a second before turned his head away. Masaki blinked surprised at this, his smile faltering for a second. His eyes jumped to his mom for help and when he saw her smile reassuring, his smile returned immediately as well.
“So, Masaki-kun, we decided with your mother that you should transfer to Sho’s school from the next semester” Shuntaro-san said. “I’ll settle everything for you next week”
“Hai…” the boy said a little unsure. ‘Transferring school…?’
“Don’t worry, Sho will help you with everything. Right, son?”
Sho only snorted as an answer which could take as anything and didn’t even bother to look up from his plate to his dad or Masaki. After this he didn’t say a single word or acknowledge them any other way while they were at the restaurant…
“I’m sorry, we’re a bit lack of room here so if you don’t mind, Masaki-kun, you’ll share Sho’s room till we move” Shuntaro-san said when they reached the Sakurai-apartment later that evening.
“Sure, I don’t mind at all” the boy said smiling.
Sho stared at Masaki and his father for a second. Shouldn’t they ask him instead before they lodge that brat in his room? Yet in the end he said nothing just marched to his room. To his greatest annoyance he could hear the other boy’s bouncing steps behind him, following him to his room. But again he decided to keep ignoring the younger boy with sitting straight to his desk, pretending to study though he couldn’t concentrate on whatever was written on the pages cause the constant shuffling noises that Masaki made distracted him. Sho gritted his teeth in annoyance. He wanted to yell at the boy to shut up finally but he restrained himself.
‘I won’t acknowledge you whatever you do! Don’t even dream about it!’ Sho addressed the younger boy in his thoughts…
Night came like that. Sho didn’t even make a move except turning a page from time to time - just to keep up the image.
Aiba walked in the room wearing pajamas with a towel covering his still damp hair.
“Sho-kun?... Aniki?” the boy called for him. “Bath is open… Aniki?” he asked again but the older boy didn’t budge.
Slaming his hand on the desk, kicking his chair Sho jumped up and turned to Masaki looking honestly angry.
“That’s enough! I’m fed up with this nonsense! I’m not your brother! We’re not family! You and that woman just intruding here where you not belong at all so don’t get stupid ideas!” he shouted at him.
Masaki blinked at him with his wide, innocent brown eyes as if he wasn’t getting what Sho just said to him.
“What? Don’t just stand there dumbly! Get out of my room!” the older boy yelled.
“But… where should I sleep?” Masaki finally asked confused.
“Like I care about that!” Sho snapped at him. “Now get out of here!”
The younger boy jumped to get the pillow and blanket that was prepared there for him then ran out of the room, not wanting to anger Sho any further…
After that Masaki slept on the couch every night but woke up before everyone, putting away the blanket and pillow, pretending he just woke up early for getting ready for school which was nearly one and half hour away from their apartment. Even if Sho found this whole situation hard or was against it, Masaki didn’t tell a word about their fight. He didn’t want Sho to get in trouble… He still wanted to be on good terms with the older boy…
As soon as the school term ended, they packed up the Sakurai-household in a few days and moved to the new one that Shuntaro-san chose for them in the outskirts. This new house was bigger; the parents had their room on the first floor while the boys had their own, separate rooms on the upper floor.
On the moving day Sho immediately shut himself in his new room - as he did all the time - telling everyone to leave him alone. So when there was a soft knock, he practically tore his door open with an annoyed face.
“What?” he barked at Masaki who stood there with a bright smile.
“Since it’s a new start with this house… Yoroshiku, aniki!” the younger boy chirped beaming holding out his hand to Sho.
“Yoroshiku my ass…” Sho snorted shutting the door in Masaki’s face without as much as a second thought. “And we’re not brothers!” he shouted from behind the closed door…
