"So, what did you want to talk about Tatsuya?" I looked at my brother knowing this would be a very serious conversation.
"How long?" my brother was looking down at the ground, not looking at me.
"How long what?" I was confused, my brother had never given such an overly simplified question. I slowly walked over to him trying to look at his face, but he avoided my gaze. Disappointed that he was going to explain himself for the question he stated, so I attempted to answer it.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but what I do know is that I've had you for all of my life, and I swear I'm not dating anyone. And the question you asked I don't know what you're trying to ask, so now I'm just rambling-"
"HOW MUCH HAVE YOU REMEMBERED ABOUT HIM!!" his eyes were like darts, and his gaze was beginning to sting my skin. He was trying so hard to contain himself, but I knew he couldn't. I stepped back, that was the wrong decision. He grabs my wrist and pulls me close to him.
"WHAT? WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ME!? I KNOW THAT YOU'VE HAD TO REMEMBER SOMETHING!"
"What do you mean remember?" I tried to loosen his grip, but it wasn't working. His grip was tightening like a boa constrictor tightening its grip whenever the prey moved.
"Tatsuya...Tatsuya let go it hurts! TATSUYA!! OWW LET ME GO-" I punched his stomach and he fell to the floor gasping for air. I ran to my room slamming the door behind me.
I leaned up against the door and checked my wrist. It was bruised. Did he just fracture my arm...was he squeezing that hard?
Knock, Knock.
"Sis...are you alright...I'm sorry.... that was out of line of me...I'm sorry. -sniff-"
Is he crying?
"I'm so sorry...I swear I never intended to get that mad or even hurt you. I care so much about you. -sniff- I have something I need to confess. I... I pay Sukana to look after you at night. Only because I know that you've been remembering things. And I just wanted to make sure that the dreams didn't turn into nightmares about him again. I couldn't handle not being able to help you since you’ve been here. I... I just wanted to protect you...so please, can you forgive me, Hikaru? Will you ever forgive me?" I open the door and hug my brother.
"Don't cry...please don't cry. I forgive you. I forgive, just don't cry. I hate it when you cry.” He gently grabbed my bruised arm. He looked away ashamed of hurting me. I smile at him and get up. I help him up and he gives me another big warm hug.
"I'm so sorry Hikaru. I swear to God. I’ll never hurt you again. I promise" he then proceeds to wipe his nose and eyes with his shirt. Tatsuya then said something I hadn't since I was a kid.
"Sis, I do care about you...just tell me when somethings happening ok?" he pauses and then says the words I love to hear.
"I love you...goodnight." He leaves the room and Sukana enters looking at Tatsuya while he passes him. I laugh and begin to shake my head.
Who knew Tatsuya was such a tsundere?
