"Where are you going?" Red asks straight to Rami's face when he sees that he goes down the stairs from his room.
"Somewhere." Rami answered nonchalantly without looking at Red.
He doesn't want to talk to him right now.
"Down the road? Don't give me that fuck. Where.are.you.going?" Red asks Rain again.
This time, Rami knows, when he won't give the right answer, Red will beat his ass up. But who cares anyway? It's not like he cares. If he did, well, he needs to try harder.
"I don't know, probably in SCHOOL 'coz I just happen to feel like WEARING a SCHOOL UNIFORM and going to the CARNIVAL!!" Rami answered, full of sarcasm. He really couldn't help himself to retort.
And— oh.oh.
This time, Rami knew, he really pissed off Red now. He saw the irritation that was written on Red's face.
Before Red was going to do something to Rami, Rami dashed through the door slightly chuckling.
It's bad to face a raging Red when you know that he has a slightly tanned muscular body with yummy abs with piercing blue eyes. Always have that aura that'll make you run as fast as you can away from him when you see him and is not really concealing that. And last but the most important part is that, having the knowledge that he is one of the most feared assassins in the whole world.
Unfortunately, before Rami reached the door, a pair of strong arms yanked him.
"Let go!!!" Rami squealed because he felt that Red carried him and put him on his shoulder.
"Do you think you'll escape your punishment for pissing me off huh?"
Realization hit Rami. OH MY GOD! Not that please, NOT THAT!
Tickling monster.
"N-not that." Rami said to Red with wide eyes. Horror written on his face. His hands were holding the chest of Red. Trying to push him away from him.
'Cute!!' uttered Red internally.
'This brother of ours, will really be the dead of us one day.' Red thought mournfully, but there's no bad feelings in particular.
Rami doesn't notice that Red has already laid him down on the couch that the man was previously lying on. Since he continues to struggle and tries to escape from Red's claws.
"Where's the fun if I don't?" At the time Red said that, it's also the time when he raises his two hands with his fingers in a clawing form.
"No please!!" Rami begged him but Red was not listening.
Instead, Red starts tickling Rami. There and then, Rami burst out laughing loudly.
He can't stop himself because this is one of his weaknesses.
"P-lease N-no, N-NO MORE!" Rami shouted between his laughs. Then he looks at Red with puppy eyes. A small tear started to form on his eyes. His both cheeks are flushing with a tint of red because of laughing too hard.
Rami joyfully cheered as Red stopped.
"That's what you get when you've pissed me off. You naughty little one." Red said to Rami, chuckling.
He ruffled Rami's head and then left, leaving Rami on the couch panting. While Rami calms himself, he comes back holding a glass of water and hands the glass to Rami.
"Thanks." Rami murmured.
"No problem." Red replied while smiling.
"You're so mean." Rami glared.
"It's your fault in the first place so we're even." Red teased Rami while sticking his tongue out to Rami.
Rami didn't answer. He just threw the glass that he was holding at him. Unfortunately, Red catches it with ease.
'Too bad.' Rami whined internally.
"By the way, are you really going to the school?" Red asked, throwing Rami a look like he was seeing an alien.
"Yep." Rami replied nonchalantly.
Rami tried to strengthen his uniform that was crumpled a while ago as he can possibly be.
"THEN YOU DO KNOW THAT IT'S ALREADY TEN-THIRTY RIGHT? ARE YOU THE PRINCIPAL!!" Red shouted.
Rami argued while he held both his ears, "Ouch, of course I knew that. What do you think of me? A dumb?"
"You're acting like one."
"Y-YOU-------"
"Shut it will you, you're just like a kid. Just tell me your reason while you're going to the fucking school this instant. Late I might say. "
In that, a smile slowly formed in Rami's face which creeped Red when he saw his expression. He already forgot the irritation he felt a while ago.
"I'll go to take a glance at my beloved." Rami said dreamily, smiling wildly while he hugged the pillow beside him and laid on the back rest of the couch.
Before he started day dreaming, someone slapped his head.
"You're starting to doze off again. Will you stop it! You know, your beloved, doesn't even know you. Doesn't even know your name nor do you exist in that school. That's why he'll never return your love. You know that!!" Red said to Rami harshly while he got to the single couch opposite his.
He sits down. Brings his phone out and starts playing with it.
Rami was stoned there.
He slowly looks at Red with tears slowly falling down onto his cheeks. For real this time.
At first Red didn't mind and just ignored him. He just continued typing on his cellphone. But then, he stops like he remembers something and looks at Rami again.
Red stood immediately where he was and went on Rami's side.
He held Rami's chin, tilting it up slowly, just to make sure that Rami's really crying. That he is not hallucinating himself.
Red sighed.
Gently, he wiped Rami's tears away but it's no use because Rami's tears kept coming out and sliding down his cheeks.
He sighs again.
Not knowing what to do, he pulled Rami and hugged him. His one arm wrapped around Rami's waist and the other, caressing Rami's head gently.
" I'm sorry, okay. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean what I said. I just wanted to tease you." Red said slowly pleading.
As always, like his other brothers. He hates seeing their cute brother cry. Because in their perception, he's not allowed to cry. That's not allowed for him. He never deserves that. Someone like Rami should be spoiled and taken care of by them.
Rami didn't reply. He just stays still and closes his eyes.
Rami knows that he is being too sensitive again right now and is unfair in front of his brother. But talking about the man he falls in love with and stating the fact that the man is not in love with him nor didn't even know him. He always becomes like this.
It's just too sensitive a topic for him.
His brothers all know that he has an unrequited love but he never tells them who that man is. Yes man. All the people around him already knew that he is gay.
Even though his brothers investigate just to find out, they didn't succeed because Rami really hid it well.
"Rami, baby, please say something. I really am sorry so please forgive me." Red said to Rami, begging.
Rami, in that moment, can only sigh since he knows that being in this kind of state wouldn't really do good to him so he complied.
"You're really mean Red. I know he's not in love with me but don't state the obvious, okay? It's really painful." Rami scolded red slightly. Venting his anger a little bit.
"Okay, okay, now come. I'll drive you to school. Once again, I'm sorry." Red said standing up while pulling Rami through the door before he cried again.
Rami let Red pull him with no protest. He felt like he had no energy.
'I just hope that this will last long.' These thoughts just circled Rami's mind while following Red with his head tilted down secretly glancing at their clasped hands.
'I hope this will last long.' Rami silently prayed within his heart.
Unknowingly, tears flowed down on Rami's face once again without Red noticing.
