Brothers

Jay-jay's POV

I'm hungry! I would like to ask for food but from whom? I can go home, because I don't know how far Keifer's house is from our house.

"You, Jay-jay..." Ci-N said to me and tried to reach for the heel.

Can I beat him?

"I don't want to! You guys just play!" I said and walked away.

He's been teaching me how to play billiards for a while but I'm not listening. I'm really hungry. I approached Felix to greet him. Because Eren said, I shouldn't let him sleep. They didn't say why.

"Felix..." I called him.

He forced to open his one eye. The other one has closed due to swelling.

"Jay..." He called me. "...S-sorry?"

"Why are you sorry? I should be the one."

"I-I should... I was cheating on you. I-I should have thought of that when first...."

"Don't think about that. Keifer came to help us."

He forced a smile and moved the ice bag from his face. I helped him move it and slightly pressed it. Suddenly the door opened and I turned around. Keigan.

"Brother... Breakfast is ready and I would like to invite your friends to eat with us." He said formally.

I looked at Keifer to find out what he was going to say but I was surprised to notice that his palm was bleeding.

"Your palm is bleeding, Keifer!" I told him but he ignored me.

He walked out the door and passed Keigan. I looked at Yuri who was left standing in their place.

"I'll take that as a yes. Please follow me..." Keigan said and was about to leave.

"Keigan!" I called him and he stopped. "...Felix is here, he can't be with us."

He looked at Felix and smiled. "I'll send the doctor and my butler here to help him."

He started walking again and Ci-N and Eren followed him. I didn't leave first so that I would be alone with Felix, but Yuri also left first.

"Follow them." I ordered Yuri.

"No. I'll stay here with you."

I just let him go because I know he won't be weaned. Yuri, well, that looks like Keifer too.

"What happened to Keifer?" I asked him and approached the bar where they were sitting earlier.

I saw broken glass and blood. I'm not sure what happened. I haven't heard anything broken..

"Because I said something, not nice, and he pressed the glass." He answered me and scratched his head.

Come on! The secret! No way!

Maybe he told our secret that's why he acted like that. Maybe he wasn't happy or didn't want to.

"W-what did you say?"

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." He answered me quickly.

A man in a white polo entered. He introduced himself as Keigan's butler, which is why we left Felix and Ci-N followed. I just followed Yuri. He looks like he knows where he's going.

"How old is Keigan?" I suddenly asked Yuri.

The atmosphere is awkward. No one moved, so what he said, came back to my memory.

"14." He answered quickly.

14? It's the same age as Ci-N but he's about to pass.

"He's still young."

"Don't trust him." Suddenly Yuri said making me stop.

"Why?"

"He's a pshychopath."

Come on! Is Keigan dangerous?

"It means.. crazy----"

"Not literary psycho... We just call him like that because he acts like one. To make it easy on you, he is the worse version of Keifer." He explained it.

So, he's the Keifer's worst version. I used to think he was the worst of all. We continued walking until we got outside where there was a pool. Do you have breakfast or not? I looked around and saw them in Gazibo. Because Ci-N is waving at me while having some bread.

"Are they really having breakfast here?" I asked Yuri and we walked towards them.

"No... But Keigan likes it here." Yuri answered me.

When we approached them, Keigan immediately stood up and pulled the chair next to him. I sat down and he took care of me. The gentleman of his ex. It doesn't seem to be worse... He looks like the good boy version of Keifer. Keifer wasn't there and the crooks were busy eating. Keigan gave me food on the plate.

"Enjoy your breakfast..." He said and smiled.

I looked at Yuri who was also looking at me. He drinks coffee and seems to feel for Keigan. While eating I couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong with Keifer?"

"Behind you..." Keigan answered me quickly.

I looked back and the newly bathed Keifer was walking towards me. He was only wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but he had something next. A younger version of Keifer and Keigan. It's just that he looks more grumpy.

"What a morning you woke up Keiren." Keigan was teasing the child.

His name is Keiren. I'll also bet, he is Keifer's brother, about twenty five cents.

"Shut up!" Keiren quickly answered Keigan.

It's ugly!

Keifer sat on the place across from me. His hand is bandaged. I watched him but I didn't even look at him for a moment. I stopped when I noticed Keiren looking at me. He stared at me and almost melted me.

"So, Brother Keifer isn't gay..." He said causing Keifer to spew the coffee he was drinking.

Yuri and I laughed a little, which they tried to hide.

"...he keeps bringing boys instead of girls. So I thought he was gay." He further explained.

I wanted to laugh too but Keifer's look was deadly.

"That's coming from the boy who can't even look Yoichi in the eye." Yuri replied, causing Keifer to be stunned and smile.

Yoichi?

The feeling of not being able to relate to what they are saying. Even Eren can see what they are talking about.

"Speaking of Yoichi... She called me yesterday, she said she's coming home because she's missing you." Yuri added.

Keiren suddenly blushed and seemed to have lost his appetite.

"W-who is Yoichi?" I asked Keigan who is closest to me.

"Yuri's younger sister and Keiren's crush." He answered me quickly.

"Shut up! She's not my crush!" Keiren shouted angrily causing them to laugh even more.

Yes it is. Yuri has a sister who is in Japan. I don't know her name. They continued to tease. Keifer can only be seen laughing but he doesn't speak. Even for a moment, I can't take my eyes off him. I felt sad. Even though it's fun to tease Keigan and Keiren, I can't help it. Breakfast was over and all we were doing was talking. It was fun and I lost track of time.

"Keigan… What time is it?" I asked.

Keigan looked at his wrist watch. "It's 9:58am."

"Thank you."

"Do you want to go home?" Yuri asked me.

"Nothing... I'm just thinking about Brother. I didn't come home, maybe he's looking for me." I explained.

"Angelo knows that you're here." Keifer said.

Does brother know?

"We called him last night. We already explained what happened so you don't need to worry about him." Yuri added.

Okay... My fear disappeared at least for a moment. But I'm also thinking about Aries. Because I didn't say him goodbye.

"So you have an older brother?" Keigan asked me.

"No, he's not my brother but an older cousin and as a respect I call him Brother." I explained.

"Really? What is his name?"

"Michael Angelo Fernandez."

"Ow.. Boss is your cousin?" Keigan asked a little surprised.

Boss?

"Boss? Why do you call Big Brother Boss?"

"That is what Yuri and Brother Keifer called him."

I looked at Keifer and Yuri but they immediately looked away from me.

"You don't know about it? They were always together before----"

"Keigan." Keifer cut him.

Keifer gave him a meaningful look. They stared at each other for a moment and Keigan faced me again. He smiled at me.

"Sorry if I keep asking questions."

"O-it's okay..."

It means they used to be together. That's why he knows Yuri and Keifer. But Aries and Keifer are angry, so why are they together? Besides, when they last met, Keifer was obviously not happy. What happened to them? Eren and Ci-N suddenly stood up.

"I have to go home. My mom already texted me." Ci-N said and came to me. "...Are you coming along Jay?"

I was about to open my mouth to answer but Yuri preceded me.

"I will drop her."

"A-alright... Bye Jay!" Ci-N said and walked away.

"I'll go with him. Be careful Jay! Bye!" Eren said goodbye and followed Ci-N.

"Bye! Be careful!" I say goodbye to them.

I didn't take my eyes off of Ci-N and Eren until they finally left. Everyone was silent for a moment until Keiren stood up.

"I'll get back inside. It's boring here." He said and walked away.

It's like I can see Keiren's future. Keifer is Keifer because he used to be. I just hope he doesn't become a Snake or Cobra like his Big Brother. After Keiren left, Keifer took out a box. He took a stick and handed it to Yuri. He lit it first before handing over the lighter.

Do they smoke?

Keifer raised an eyebrow when he noticed that I was staring at them.

"You can ask if you want... No need to stare like that." He said.

I shook my head. "I've tried that once and I won't do it again."

Yuri stopped and couldn't believe what I said.

"You did?"

"Oh.."

"Why did you stop?" Keigan asked.

"Because my boyfriend burned me when he caught me smoking, so I don't do it again." I answered directly with a mixture of annoyance.

Oh wait! Is it right for me to tell them that?

"He did what?!" Keifer asked annoyed.

I guessed I shouldn't have said it. Yuri's looks suddenly changed.

"But he apologized later. He was just angry." My excuse.

"You're talking about this Cyrus guy, right?" Yuri asked me.

I just nodded to him in response. It's really wrong that I said more. Keifer and Yuri looked like they're about to kill someone.

Shit!
