Remalade Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 RP Summary: For this family of wealthy politicians, image is everything. With the father being a well-known Senator, and the mother being the local Mayor, and two handsome sons, one would think that this was the perfect family. At least, it seems that way. Due to their busy schedules, the parents are almost never home, leaving the two sons, the older in college and the younger in high school, alone to fend for themselves. But neither of them know the secret that they are both hiding from each other: the feelings that are much more than they should be. -- My Character: Name: Tadashi Minoharu Age: 21 Occupation: College student, Captain of swim team Personality: Teases and jokes a lot, intelligent, protective of his brother Likes: Swimming, college, spending time with his brother Dislikes: Lying, but will do it if he has to, people asking personal/invasive questions Pic: Tadashi sighed as he fumbled with keys before letting himself into the large house. He had just finished an entire practice of swimming laps, and he had been in such a rush to get home that his hair was still damp from his shower. He knew that his parents would be working late today, as they did every week, and he didn't want Sonokuchi to be left home alone. The tall male slipped off his shoes and padded farther into the house, heading towards his room. Was his brother home yet? It was well after school had ended, so had he gone to a friend's house instead? "Sono-kun?" he called out, using the nickname he'd been calling him for years.

azuneko Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Name: Sonokuchi Minoharu Age: 19 Occupation: High School Student Personality: Easily embarrassed, nature lover, easy going at times, highly serious in public Likes: Sweets, outdoors, traveling and snow Dislikes: The dark, being alone and loud noises ----------- Sonokuchi was in his room studying for a test. As he flipped the pages his gaze kept drifting from side to side. He honestly couldn't concentrate one bit on the work in front of him. Slowly standing up he walked to his bedroom door. As he opened it he heard a very familiar voice. It was his older sibling returning home from swimming. A smile crept upon his face as he walked down the hall. "Tada-nii! I'm over here. Where are you?" he called out before finding his older brother. He smiled happily as he finally realized the empty house wasn't empty anymore. "How was practice today? I bet you were as fast as ever." Sonokuchi said as he noticed the other's hair was still wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remalade Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Tadashi smiled when he heard his brother's voice, finally seeing him when he approached the hallway. "It was fine, we were just swimming laps. What are you up to? Getting some studying done?" he guessed with a grin, ruffling Sonokuchi's dark locks. He went to put his bag down in his room and grab a towel from the bathroom for his hair before returning to his brother. "Mom and Dad are working late so we'll have the house to ourselves. Want to play video games or watch a movie or something?" he suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuneko Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Sonokuchi looked at his brother with a small smile. "I suppose you could say I was studying. It is a bit difficult to do so when I can only realize how empty the house is." he said softly. His gaze drifted to the side. He was really glad his brother was home now. Hearing their parents wouldn't be home was nothing new for him. It was so natural whenever he did see them home it was more of a shock. "I guess a video game would be fun to do. Lets play some games Tada-nii." he said with a grin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remalade Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 "Awesome. But I should warn you that I've been getting pretty good at the new Xbox game I bought last week." Tadashi teased, slinging an arm around his brother's shoulders and leading him to the living room. He let him go to turn on the large television and set up the consoles. With such wealthy parents, it was no surprise that they had the latest technology. "Could you bring us some snacks while I finish getting this ready? I'm starving, Sono-kun." the older male added with a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuneko Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Sonokuchi follows his brother to the living room. He didn't mind if his brother was getting good at the games. He more so enjoyed them since he was spending time with Tadashi. The actual game itself was not all that important to him. Even so he wouldn't admit such a thing aloud. He watched his brother setting up the game before he was asked to gather snacks. "Alright Tada-nii. I'll go get something for us." he said before walking off to the kitchen. He looked through the fridge and grabbed two bottles of fruit drinks. He then looked through the cabinets for something they could both enjoy. Sonokuchi sighs as the bag of chips where too high up. "I can do this." he mutters as he climbed up on the counter to try and reach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remalade Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Tadashi glanced over his shoulder when he finished setting up the game. What was taking him so long? Did he need help? The dark-haired young man stood and made his way into the kitchen, immediately noticing Sonokuchi climbing the counter. "Be careful." he muttered as he hurried to his side to steady him. Tadashi's hand gently pressed into the small of his brother's back to ensure that he wouldn't fall. He tried not to think of how close Sonokuchi was and how warm he felt under his fingers.

azuneko Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Sonokuchi glanced back a bit as he heard his brother's voice. "I am being careful. Just trying to reach the chips." he said before flinching a little. He didn't expect Tadashi to suddenly touch him. He lost focus on what he was doing for a slight second. He soon grabbed the bag and looked back. "I have it so I'll climb down now." he said making sure the light pink tint forming across his cheeks were hidden. Sonokuchi glanced down to the side. "Uh, well we should get to the game. I gathered all the snacks now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remalade Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Tadashi nodded and stepped back so that he had the room to climb down. As Sonokuchi moved, he could swear that there was a blush on his cheeks. Perhaps he'd gotten too close and made his brother flustered. He mentally berated himself but smiled anyways as he helped his brother carry the snacks back into the living room. "So how was school today? Anything interesting happen?" Tadashi asked, settling down onto their comfortable leather couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuneko Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Sonokuchi made his way to the living room with his brother. He was sure they would have some fun playing video games. He sat upon the couch and glanced at his brother. "Uh well school was a bit odd for me today. One of my best friends asked me out. I was flattered and all but well....." he began to trail off with his words. "I mean he's a guy and I am clearly a guy. I have no idea what to say to him tomorrow." Sonokuchi said softly. This was a bit odd to talk about but he thought maybe Tadashi could give him some helpful advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remalade Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Tadashi looked at him in surprise when he heard what he'd said. Someone had asked him out? He felt a small bit of panic rising in his chest at the thought of Sonokuchi going out with someone, especially a guy. Not that he wouldn't be happy for his brother, but there was still that lingering jealousy of having someone else be so close to his brother. His heart sank a little as Sonokuchi kept talking. Hearing that he'd rejected him because they were both guys made an uncomfortable twist in the pit of his stomach. He knew that he shouldn't feel disappointed because there was no way that he had a chance in the first place, seeing as they are brothers. Even so, he couldn't shake the feeling. But he knew that he needed to stop being selfish and help Sonokuchi with his problem, regardless of his own desires. "Just calmly let him know that you don't like him that way and would rather just remain friends. If he's really your friend, he'll accept it and move on. Wow, my little brother sure is popular." he teased, ruffling the other's hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuneko Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Sonokuchi looked at his brother as he waited for him to say something. "Are you sure that will work? I mean this isn't the first time a guy in my school asked me out. The only difference is that this is my best friend." he said looking down. He was really worried about losing his friend if he rejects him. "If only I didn't have a crush on someone I might have considered his confession." he mutters getting annoyed by his own thoughts. Sono-kun sat up in the couch and looked at Tadashi. "Let play some games before I over think." he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remalade Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 "Well...yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll work. After all, he's your best friend. He will get over it, I'm sure." Tadashi assured. He was even more surprised to hear that other guys had asked him out. When he admitted to already having a crush on someone else, Tadashi felt that uncomfortable twist of jealousy once again. He was starting to wish that he hadn't been told these things because they would be on his mind now. He tried to remind himself again that helping his brother was more important than his own selfishness. "Don't worry so much, Sono-kun. Yeah, let's play." he smiled, glad to start the game and have a distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuneko Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Sonokuchi looked at Tadashi glad the other was going to start the game. His gaze drifting to the side as he picked up his controller. He reached to grab the bag of chips. He opened them and took a small handful. Days like this are the ones he enjoyed more than anything else. "So how long is mother and father going to be away this time? It sucks when the school has events and I'm the only one unable to attend because they aren't around." he said pouting a little.

Remalade Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 "They said that they would be back tomorrow morning, but you know how they are with that. Coming back in one day always turns into coming back in three days." Tadashi joked as he grabbed his own controller. He started up the first round as he glanced over at Sonokuchi. "Really? Why didn't you tell me? I can go with you sometimes. I don't have classes that often, just let me know and I come instead." he assured. He didn't want his brother to miss out on anything because of their parents' ridiculous schedules. Even if he had to miss swim practice, he would, if Sonokuchi really needed him.

azuneko Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 "Really.?!? You would do that for me!? That makes me happy but I don't wish for you to miss your swim practices. I'll be okay. It's not the first time I've missed school events because of them. Though it makes me very happy that you'd offer such a thing. Thank you so much Tada-nii!" he said softly. Sonokuchi focused his attention on the game as the first round started. He did feel really happy now that his brother was making him feel such. He knew if he ever told Tadashi who his crush was it would be a shocker. Grinning like a child he began playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remalade Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Tadashi couldn't help but smile at the other's happiness. Even if it was something as simple as attending a school event, he would do anything for his brother, missing his practice included. The grin on Sonokuchi's face told him that it was all worth it. He pushed the thought of how cute his brother looked right now into the back of his mind and focused on the game instead. He won the first round, but he was surprised when Sonokuchi managed to beat him in the second round. "Wow, you're getting pretty good at this." he laughed, nudging him playfully.

azuneko Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Sonokuchi looked at the other as they started playing. He was upset when Tadashi won the first round. Though he was overjoyed when he actually won. He jumped up and down so happily. He hugged Tadashi with a smile. "It's because you always win and I learned from watching you. Just you wait and see. I'll be better at it in no time and then I'll have all the wins." he said letting the other go. He was so easily happy whenever with his brother. Sonokuchi found his brother to be the world best friend and greatest big brother. To much surprise he has yet to tell his older sibling just that.

Remalade Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Tadashi hugged him back with a small smile, reveling in the closeness between them. If only Sonokuchi knew just how much he affected his brother. "Oh yeah? Maybe I was just losing on purpose because you look so cute and happy when you win." He teased. "But you're right, I'm going to have to watch my back from now on. If you keep playing like that, you'll be the best in no time." Tadashi added, laughing lightly. The moment between them was very relaxed, and he was glad for the chance to spend some quality time with his brother. He had been so busy with college things lately that he hadn't seen him much. However, that distance apart hadn't dampened the feelings he had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuneko Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Sonokuchi looked at the other as he was hugged. "Don't ruin the moment for me. I won fair and square so don't be a meanie. Do you want to play another round or watch something on television together?" he asked as he looked at his brother. He really enjoyed this time with Tadashi. It felt like ages since he had time like this with his sibling. He was glad things weren't awkward between them while just hanging out. Sonokuchi leans back against the sofa wondering what they would do next. He smiled a little to himself having some ideas but none he could ever say out loud.

Remalade Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 "We can watch some television if you want." Tadashi shrugged. He reached for the remote and handed it to Sonokuchi, their hands brushing in the process. He was fine with letting him choose what they watched. Even when they were younger, Tadashi had always somewhat spoiled his brother. If Sonokuchi wanted something, he would always try to do it. Tadashi tried not to give in to him so easily as they got older, but it was hard to resist when the other looked at him with such loving expressions. He glanced over at him, noticing the smile on his face. "What are you smiling about, Sono-kun?" he chuckled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuneko Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Sonokuchi looked towards his brother with a smile. He held the remote as he waited to find something for them to watch. "I am just really happy spending time with you. Since you started college, we don't get to do these kind of things anymore. It gets lonely and bored around here. So having brotherly bonding times like this is worth every second." he said as he turned his attention to the television. He wonders what was on that they could watch. He found the anime network playing an episode of Love Stage. Sonokuchi decided to leave it on this channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remalade Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Tadashi hesitated at Sonokuchi's words. He hadn't realized just how neglected he must be feeling, and he suddenly felt like the world's worst older brother. He never wanted him to feel lonely. Perhaps he could try to be home a bit more from now on? But he also worried that spending more time with him would stir up the exact kind of feelings he was trying to suppress. Tadashi held in a sigh as he turned his attention to the television instead. His face paled when he realized what they were now watching. The older male had watched this show before, and he knew that its contents weren't exactly pure. But he couldn't say anything without revealing that he'd seen it, and that would be even harder to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuneko Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Sonokuchi relaxed more as he watched the show. He enjoyed watching anime yet this was one he hadn't seen before. His gaze drifted over towards his brother. "Hey Tada-nii! Have you heard of this show? It says new so maybe we are the first to know about it. Oh, I'll be a step up on all my friends." he said getting all excited about it. He was having a wonderful day. Sonokuchi wasn't sure if his brother was having a good time though. He leaned closer to the other poking his cheek. "Are you having as much fun as I am Tada-nii? If you don't like this show I can find something else to put on." he said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remalade Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 "No, I haven't heard of this." Tadashi lied, avoiding his brother's eyes. How was he supposed to explain that he'd watched Yaoi anime before? Sonokuchi probably didn't even know what it was, and if he did, he would probably be grossed out. The older male decided to just pretend he didn't know. He froze when his brother leaned in close and poked him. "I'm fine, Sono-kun. Enjoy your show." He muttered, forcing a smile to hide his nervousness. He quickly regretted not changing the channel as a rather sexual scene between Ryouma and Izumi began.
