New life ((Ryouta Basket & WaterSoul))

[Ryouta]

Shiki looked at he other and blushed, all those whispers and words sent him a shiver down his spine, made him nervous it was yet calm and with a strong feeling! His heart was beating fast now. He looked at the other and tried to put his own tears away. He felt a bit embarrassed! From those words...did that mean that he knew about his past too?? He blushed and looked down, looking at the broken glances, letting his uncle to wash his wounds and then bandaged them. He looked around and then stood up bowing at the other men! "I`m so sorry that I made such a mess!" He mumbled and then looked at Daiko and then blushed darker and glanced away "T..thank you also..." He said as his uncle smiled and placed his hands on his shoulders. "Why don`t you rest a bit??" He said and then pulled him gently to the bed. "Come on, lay down a bit!" Shiki agreed and then laid down ad closed his eyes, he had fast felt asleep.

[WaterSoul]

Daiki looked down at the now sleeping boy smiling gently. Pulling the blanket over the boy, he brushed some stray hair out of his face before reaching for the first aid kit to take care of his own wounds. Lifting his hand up so that the cut was level with his face, he went to the opposite side of the room and sat down leaning against the wall. Pulling out the rubbing alcohol and bandages he quickly took care of his hand and quickly moved onto the small cuts on his legs. Rolling up his trouser legs he dabbed with the alcohol and left them like that as they weren't deep enough to waste badges on. Putting everything way, he quietly placed the first aid kit on the desk before leaving the room to grab a dust pan and brush so he could clearer up the mess. It didn't take long for him to clear away all the shards and he guessed it would be awhile before they get any news one especially with how Shiki reacted to seeing one. Going back to his room he looked down at his shirt and saw that it had little stains of blood on it from where Shiki had grabbed it earlier as well as his pants had cuts in them. Sighing to himself he quickly stripped, "the shirt can be washed but the jeans are a lost cause" he muttered to himself before throwing both of them to the corner of the room to be dealt with later. Grabbing a different top and some jogging pants he put them on before sitting in a chair with book to try and get some reading down. Daiki knew it was useless though with everything that has happened and what he has learnt he couldn't focus on the book but he would at least try to so that his cousin could get some sleep.

[Ryouta]

Shiki woke up after a few couple of hours and then blinked his eyes a few time. He noticed that he had fell asleep. He yawned and the sat up, feeling like that he slept good! He saw a familiar person next to him, reading a book. He blushed and then looked down. He started to play with the sheets and glancing at the other male a few times, hi hands still hurt from the wound he had give to himself. He looked up at the other and deeply breathed. "Thank you so much, Daiki san! For taking care of me!" He mumbled, hew wouldn`t call him nii again, it was a bit embarrassing. He looked at the door that was knocked and then saw his uncle came inside. "Oh! are you feeling better??" Shiki nodded and blushed brightly, looked down. Uncle looked at his own son. "Daiki please get him o bath, he had a long trip and he must have been tired, help him but if he was fine, let him be.." Her smiled at the younger cousin and left, Shiki was speechless, looking at Daiki to said something.

[WaterSoul]

Daiki looked up from his book to stare at his father before shrugging "sure" he said before marking his place in his book before standing up stretching his arms above his head, groaning slightly and his bones popped back into place. Pulling his shirt down from where it had ridden up slightly he turned to look at Shiki "alright then let's get you clean then Shiki" he said to him with a smile holding out his hand so that Shiki could pull himself up. He had felt a bit disappointed that he had went back to calling him Daiki San and not Nii but he honestly didn't expect it to stick. He has know very thankful that he had cleaned the bathroom earlier so that he could get Shiki in the bath as quick as possible to help him relax. "How are your hands anyway? Any pain from them?" he asked with a concerned tone as he remembered the damaged that his cousin has also done to his hands and how bad they seemed to have been.

[Ryouta]

Shiki looked at the other and then blushed hard. He didn`t know what to do now! It was the way high level for him to show his body to another man and also there was something that he`d rather not to show neither to his cousin nor to his uncle. Something on his skin that might take days to recover. He grabbed his shirt and looked down, nodding. He couldn`t say no. He didn`t want to disobey the people who gave him life and house to live, he had to be thankful, it was better from that place anyway. "They are fine!" He mumbled as he walked inside the bathroom. It was pretty big and beautiful, he was keep looking around as he slowly blushed out darker. He slowly brushed his hair and then started to strip slowly but it was kinda...sexy when he was doing that. His white skin, perfect form of body, he could even be more beautiful and attractive than a woman. It took a while for him to take all off. He slowly turned around, face to face but fast looked down. He blushed out darker, feeling embarrassed about the marks...the hickeys that was given to him. They were almost all around his body, he wondered how would his cousin react.

[WaterSoul]

Daiki felt heat rise to his cheeks as his cousin stripped. He hadn't expected him to strip in front of him nor had he expected him to look so innocent yet sexy at the same time, which was something he didn't think was even possible. Turning his head away to try and calm himself down. After a while when he was sure his cousin was done and that his cheeks weren't resembling a tomato he turned his head and nearly gasped at what he saw. His cousin's beautiful, soft looking skin was covering in hickeys head to toe. He felt anger as he stared at the hickeys. Anger at those who had does this to him. He also felt slightly jealous that he wasn't able to put his own mark on him, which both surprised and disgusted him since after all Shiki was his cousin he shouldn't be thinking of things like that nor feeling them. Shaking his head he turned around to grab a cloth and began to wet it "do you want me to or do you want to do it" he asked his cousin holding the wet cloth. He wasn't too sure if his cousin would let him so he decided to ask him so that he felt more comfortable. He could tell that his cousin was embarrassed and also scared.

[Ryouta]

Shiki looked at the other, no words, not even a question of where they had come from, it wasn`t so surprising anyway, Daiki now knew everything and he probably understood that who gave him those marks, slowly walked to the other s he grabbed his shirt and weakly pulled it so he would listen to him. "I already made so much trouble for you...I don`t want you to think that I brought you nothing but trouble, I also know...that you don`t want to see my face, you are disgusted, right? Who wants to talk to such a boy, I`m just like a trash, I`m so dirty! That`s what you think, right?" He mumbled though it was probably loud enough for his elder cousin to hear. "Uncle told me that you don`t know, now that you do, I feel so embarrassed that I came here, please forgive me..." He was so innocent and so sensitive, though he was feeling hurt and shaking hard, his voice started cracking in the last few words, it seemed the truth! He didn`t think that he wanted to make his gentle new brother suffer by talking or even seeing him.

[WaterSoul]

Daiki looked at the other before shaking his head. Raising his hand he gently stroked the other's hair giving him a gentle smile. "Shiki i'm not disgusted at you, I could never be" he told him in a gentle voice. "You aren't trash, nor are you dirty. The ones who did this to you are trash but you...never okay Shiki" he continued stroking his hair enjoying the feel of the strands of hair against his hands. He younger brother was so broken now and it killed Daiki to see him this way. He wanted to help him see just how amazing he was but there was nothing he could do and that also slowly killed him inside. Biting his lip he decided that for as long as he was alive he would do anything in his power to make his younger brother feel loved and cherished.

[Ryouta]

Shiki blushed and nodded, he never felt this warm. He closed his eyes, wanted to feel more of the warmth but he knew that in the situation, it didn`t seem so possible, he smiled as the other and then bowed again, feeling a bit better right now. "Thank you so much, Daiki nii!" He had decided, f there was no problem with Shiki, staying with them then why would he have to reject this, he also really loved to have a brother and who would have been better than his cousin, he gently grabbed the hand on his hair and then placed it on his cheeks as he pressed his lips gently on his finer, that was how he thanked his mother long ago, he thought of thanking his new family like that. Letting go, he walked to the tub as he laid himself inside the hot water and started to look around the bubbles in the air, trying to catch them playfully like a kitten, he was so cute and sexy in that time.

[WaterSoul]

Daiki felt his cheeks warm up as he felt the others lips press into his hand. It was innocent yet he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The blush just got deeper when his cousin began playing in the bath with the bubbles. He had never seen anything so cute before. It made him want to take a picture just so that he could preserve the moment but that would be creepy considering that the person who would be in the photo was his cousin...well brother now. Shaking his head, he inched closer so that he was kneeling before the bath, his elbow on the edge as he rested his head on it looking at his cousin. 'You alright to clean yourself or do you want some help?' he asked as he reached out with his other hand to pat his brother's hair. He just couldn't get over how fluffy and soft his hair was.

[Ryouta]

Shiki hid his face upper than his lips and then started blowing inside the water so it would make more bubbles, he starred at the other`s eyes as he blushed and looked away. "I think it`s better to wash myself by myself or I`ll get a bad habit and then might get used to be lazy, I`m 16 after all. Any other boy at my age should do that...thanks anyway, nii!" He said as he felt strange in his throat, it had been long since he talked so much, in this past years, far away from the real world, he was all silence and hardly spoke. He blushed and then continued to play with the bubbled, pretended that he was distracted but actually he wasn`t. All he was thinking now was his cousin, he was kind yet handsome and tall, a clever boy that could play instruments. Now that cousin was his brother, he couldn`t be more happy. Gently took the cloth from his brother, he started to wash his body then his hair, not wanting to take too long though he loved to stay there and relax, he got out and then smiled at the other, trying to cover his body, he took his last clothes to wear them, though they were dirty but he had no other.

[WaterSoul]

Daiki chuckled as his cousin played in the water. He turned his head when he saw his cousin start to get out of the bath to give him some privacy. When he was sure his cousin, well now brother was decent he turned round to make sure that he was definitely was clean and frowned when he say his brother pick up his dirty clothes with the intention of wearing them. "You should wear some clean clothes" he said to his cousin when he remembered that his cousin hadn't brought anything. He didn't have any clean clothes to wear. "You don't have any right i forgot that" he muttered mostly to himself as he thought on what they could do. Coming up with an idiot he walked up to his cousin and gently placed his hand on Shiki's head. "I'll go grab you a pair of my clothes to wear while I go wash them okay" he said to his cousin with a smile as he lead Shiki to his room to grab some new clothes "And I don't want any argument alright" he told his clothes as they entered the room. He gestured for Shiki to sit on the bed while he went to his closet and began looking through his clothes for something that may fight. 'Trousers were out since I am a lot bigger so shorts would have to do with a plain t-shirt' he thought to himself as he pulled out some shorts with one of his many white t-shirts. Happy with what he had found he hand Shiki the new clothes "Get ready, i'll go wash these alright, then if you want i'll cook some food. If you want some just go to the kitchen if you don't then that's fine" he told him with a nod before walking out of the room letting Shiki to get changed in private.

[Ryouta]

Shiki blushed and nodded in order to accept the clothes and bow to respect his new brother. Shiki watched the elder boy left the big room. The tiny boy starred at the good looking clothes and a smile appeared on his face, he raised the clothes and looked at them from close. Feeling a very amazing smell, he closed his eyes and lost, squeezing the shirt to his nose to feel more of the smell. It was so good! A special smell for a special person, he blushed, noticed at what he was doing. He shook his head, gazing at the big shirt. He stripped and wore the shorts and T-shirt was given to him. The shirt was a big big for him so it mostly covered his shorts, the opposite, the shorts suited him perfectly and he was so sexy in that. Softly brushed his own hair away from his face, he headed to the door and opened it, showing it to his cousin. "H..how do I look?"

[WaterSoul]

Daiki turned around to face his cousin and was happy with what he saw. His cousin looked so cute with the oversize t-shirt and Daiki was shocked at how happy he was seeing his cousin wearing his clothes. "You look cute" he replied honestly giving his cousin a smile. He looked his cousin up and down trying to burn the image into his mind, he also wanted to pull out his phone and take a picture of his cousin just to make sure that he can always remember every single detail. From the way he looked so shy and embarrassed to how the shirt seem to swallow him up. Putting the last of his cousin's clothes into the wash, he put the washing machine on and stood up. "Let's go get some food then shall we Shiki" he asked his cousin holding his hand out for him.

[Ryouta]

Shiki looked at the other and nodded. "Mm~" He smiled, he was for some reason happy and kept smiling, he let his hands fall on the others and squeezed it tightly. "L...let`s go then, Nii!" He was already feeling comfortable with his elder cousin, since he trusted him. He was to be protected by him forever though he knew that it was not possible. He`ll probably marry someone and leave the house, does he have a girlfriend, more than that, why thinking about this makes me feel strange? He thought as he shook his head, wanted to make the first move, he holds the hand probably pulled him down the stairs and to the kitchen, he blushed brightly seeing his uncle and let go of the hand. "Oh, it`s good that you are here Shiki! Come on, sit down, I need to talk to you!" He pulled the chair back for the innocent boy to sit Shiki agreed and starred at his uncle. "I have already signed you up in the high school that Daiki went to...don`t worry about it, I`ll make sure you are safe on the way there and home." Shiki was starting to feel nervous now.

[WaterSoul]

Daiki smiled as his cousin grabbed his hand and all but dragged him to the kitchen. It made him happy that Shiki was feeling comfortable around him. He didn't understand why he wanted Shiki to be comfortable around him, maybe it's because he has never really been close to someone. Whatever the reason was, he promised himself that he would always try his best to make Shiki happy when he was around him. Daiki felt the smile that was on his face slowly melt away as he saw the nervousness build up in Shiki's eyes as he spoke to his father. He guessed it had something to do with going to school and to be honest it made Daiki nervous as well. He couldn't protect Shiki while he was at school and he certainly didn't like the idea of him going alone but it didn't matter what he thought Shiki had to go to get an education. "Don't worry Shiki, you'll be fine, hell you may even have fun. The teachers are alright and so are the students. If you need help you got me and the college I attend isn't to far so you can message me if you need to" he told Shiki trying his best to ease the boys nervousness and his own.

[Ryouta]

Shiki looked at his cousin and then fast looked down, he felt a bit better but still it seemed to be an impossible request from him since he couldn't handle everything all by himself in the place that he knows nobody. He played with his fingers and then glance over his older cousin a few times. "Can you please at least...em, come for me after school and take me there?" He asked, blushed lightly when he shyly looked down, it seemed to be ridiculous that a 16 years old boy would come with somebody to school. But that was the least he could ask, he was not sure if he wanted to stay there when neither his cousin nor his uncle were there but he wanted to study so that he mind find something good for his future and continue that for he might find a career. He stood up unconsciously and then bowed to his uncle. "Thank you so much for this, I'll study, I promise I won't let you down...." He looked over his new brother and blushed a bit darker and bowed again. "Please do it for me, Daiki nii!"

[WaterSoul]

Daiki had to bite the inside of his cheek to stop himself from chuckling at his cousin. He could be so cute at times, it made him just want to cuddle him and never left him go. Smiling at his cousin he walked over to him placing a hand on top of his head ruffling his hair "Of course i'll take you to school and bring you back. I may be late to pick you up on some days though but i'll tell you in the morning if I think I might be late alright? Are you okay with that? It does mean you would have to stay in school for a tiny bit longer" he told his cousin, making sure he is okay with that. He wish he could guarantee that he could pick up Shiki every day at the same time but with college, sometimes teacher kept him back for a few minutes to talk to him or to ask him to do something for them before he left.

[Ryouta]

Shiki blushed when the other was holding his chuckle inside but then got happy after he got his answer. The way the other ruffled his hair was so good! He wanted to be patted like that forever but the hand soon was off. He Glance over the boy and then bowed, he shook his head when he stood straight. "If you come for me....then it's fine! I'll will appreciate just that, nii!" He smiled and then hesitantly moved closer and hugged the other fast and then let go, he was now ads red as an apple. He rushed to his uncle and then looked down. "T..thank you uncle!" He hugged him too. His uncle was starting to feel at ease seeing Shiki like that, he had an idea now. "Why don't you bake a cake, Shiki? It's so fun!" Shiki blushed brightly and then surprised. "But I don't know how to..." Uncle laughed. "Daiki will teach you, right?" He looked at his son, walking out. "Since I'm going out for something!"

[WaterSoul]

"Huh?" Daiki said looking at his father with a bewildered look on his face. "But I haven't baked something in ages" he exclaimed as he watched his father leave the room a slight scowl on his face. "stupid old man" he muttered under his breath before turning back around coming face to face with his cousin. As he stared at his cousin he blushed, a little pink dusty his cheeks as he realized that he had just admitted that he does bake to his cousin. "Errrrrrrrr...." he said running a hand through his hair. "baking...cake....right......." Going over to the cupboards he began looking through them, seeing what they could use and if they needed to go and buy anything. "So Shiki, first time baking a cake...anything specific type of cake you want to bake or shall we just go with it and see how it turns out?" he asked his cousin turning his head so that he could see him.

[Ryouta]

Shiki looked over his cousin, blushing lightly. Felt a bit stressed when his uncle left and he knew that it was just the two of them there now. It was a bit quiet and it seemed that Daiki was dealing himself about something for a while. Then he looked back at Shiki. He immediately took a step back and looked down when his elder cousin asked him a question then he thought about it. He actually never have eaten a cake from that time but he could remember that how much he liked chocolate when he was a child though e was worried that they didn't have the ingredient for it. He squeezed his hands together as he mumbled something and repeated it a bit louder afterward. "Anything is fine but if we have the chocolate cake`s things to make..." He was unable to say the rest, so shy that he asked him so selfishly though he knew that his cousin have noticed what he meant by now. He was also interested. He wanted to learn how to cook and bake things. He wished to enjoy his life as much as he can.

[WaterSoul]

"Chocolate cake?" He repeated smiling before turning to the cupboard grabbing a box of chocolate cake mixture. "We always have things to do with chocolate" he told Shiki with a grin on his face as he set the box down on the counter. "You can come closer you know. I don't bite" he said over his shoulder as he went to the fridge getting out ingredients they would need such as eggs and sour cream. Placing the ingredients he turned around so that he was leaning against the counter. Looking up he bit his lip as he thought about where some of the utensils they would need would be. He doubted they would be in the last place he had them, everything gets changed in this house quite often. Walking over to the far side of the kitchen he opened the cupboard leaning back slightly so he could see all the way in and grunted when he didn't find what he was looking for. Dropping to his knees he opened the lower and exclaimed a small yes as he would what he was looking for. An electric whisk. "This will make it easier" he told his cousin holding up the device before gently setting it on the table. "So Shiki, how about we get started?" he asked his cousin, excitement already bubbling inside of him at the thought of baking again.

[Ryouta]

Shiki was a bit happy when he noticed that they could bake a chocolate cake. The smile was on his face all the smile Daiki was walking around, picking up the ingredients and the things they needed for making it. He sat down on the chair next to the table and waited for the table to be set then he stood up and looked down when saw how excited the other was, he was a bit embarrassed since he didn't know how to make one... "So, what should I do, nii?" He asked and then glanced over the table, playing with the ingredients. "I might be an extra since I don't know how to bake one, maybe I might go upstairs?" He said a bit sad, he was really innocent though he really wanted to stay.

[WaterSoul]

Daiki raised an eyebrow at Shiki. "Go upstairs? what and miss destroying the kitchen. I don't think so" Daiki told him in a joking manner. "Doesn't matter if you don't know how to make one, we each start somewhere. If you mess up, you mess up practice makes perfect" Daiki told him, lighting taping Shiki on the nose before dragging the electric whisk in front of them. "Alright, let's do this step by step, the first thing you need to do is obvious. Empty the cake mix into the bowl So" he stopped grabbing the cake mix and putting it in front of Shiki "There you go and while you do that, I am going to crack the eggs, unless you want to try and crack one as well?" Daiki said looking at him questioningly as he picked up one of the 4 eggs and cracked into a bowl.

[Ryouta]

Shiki listened to whatever his cousin said. He knew that it was a joke but he couldn't be a jerk dirting other`s kitchen, his uncle would be probably mad at him. He thought! He looked up at the eggs and seemed to be liking it when Daiki cracked it. He remembdered doing that in order to help his mother to make meal when he was a kid. The brown haired boy hestantly moved hisd hands to one of the eggs and then nodded. "I'll do it!" He said, blushing brightly as he cracked it into the bowl. A smile appeared on his face as he too the two other and did the same. He laughed gently and cutely as he excitingly looked over the boy. "So what's next?" He asked, couldn't be patient!
