After the President’s BL love consultation, I immediately went home.
I was either mentally exhausted or my body was heavy, but I was overcome with a strong sense of drowsiness.
I went straight to the living room, and collapsed onto the sofa.
It was troublesome to go to the room so I’ll just sleep here.
I have yet to change my uniform so I might get scolded by big brother.
While thinking about such things, my consciousness slowly faded.
I feel like my name’s being called……who is it?
I hear a voice close to my face.
As I opened my eyes slowly, there was a beautiful boy who looked like me when I was a child.
Although he looked like one of the lower grade students in elementary school, he had a calm and cheerful disposition, and that made him look clever.
That’s definitely not me……it’s big brother.
It’s big brother when he was younger.
The small-but-still-beautiful big brother held a tray with a bowl of porridge placed on it.
The one who had a flushed face and was smaller than big brother is me.
It seems like I was in bed with a cold.
“Sorry. There was no salmon so I made it with eggs instead.”
Big brother handed the porridge over to the small me with an apologetic look on his face.
Big brother watched me eat attentively until I suddenly stopped my hand and grabbed my neck.
Big brother was surprised. He snatched the spoon away from me and brought it to his mouth to check.
“It’s true……I meant to add a little fish stock and salt, but it seems like I’ve added the wrong ones.”
Then I moved my hands and began to eat.
I didn’t seem to be eating it with any problems so it’s probably genuinely delicious.
However, big brother stared at me anxiously.
“Really? You’ll feel sick if you force yourself to eat it, so you don’t have to eat it.”
In the end, I finished the porridge without leaving a single drop of it.
Big brother, who had been awkwardly watching me eat from beginning to end, let out a smile of relief when he saw the empty bowl.
I remembered that this was a memory of my childhood.
Big brother makes mistakes too.
Even when I got a cold, my parents were often not around, and big brother was always taking care of me.
“That’s good. Your fever went down.”
Big brother put his small hand on my forehead.
It makes me feel calm and reassured.
When I closed my eyes and left myself in a comfortable sensation, the feeling suddenly changed into something bigger and more certain.
I felt a cold touch on my forehead and woke up immediately.
Someone peered at my face and put his hand on my forehead. Just like big brother in my dream.
“My bad, did I wake you up?”
When I opened my eyes, there was a person with a noble, handsome face and a pair of blue eyes.
It was big brother’s darling instead of the person himself.
Because you come every day, it’s a matter of course that you do your duty today too.
But I don’t see big brother.
“Eh, where’s big brother?”
“He got caught by the housewives in the neighborhood. I ran away first.”
I see, as expected of big brother.
He’s popular among all-genres and a wide range of people.
The mothers in the neighborhood love to hang out with big brother, who does all the housework.
I often get scolded, saying “Go help your brother”.
“Aren’t you a little hot? You have a fever.”
So that’s why you touched my forehead just now.
Certainly, I feel out of it.
I thought it was because I just woke up, but I guess I was wrong.
“Did you catch a cold or something?”
This time, instead of his hand, Haru-nii’s head came close.
While I was surprised at what he was doing, Haru-nii’s forehead was on mine.
This is……Forehead to forehead.[1]
[1] It’s a BL term for having two boys’ forehead against each other.
His face was so close that I was confused.
I want you to do this to big brother only.
I don’t know if it’s because of the light or heat, but my face was burning.
I could feel that my face was on fire.
My joints hurt and I feel like my tear glands are loose.
I want to get up, but I can’t.
Haru-nii vigorously pulled me up with his strong arm that had been trained by playing basketball.
It feels like my arm could fall off.
It hurts, it really hurts.
My tear glands are loose, but I’m afraid I’ll cry even more in pain.
As I was about to give him a reproachful look, our eyes met.
Haru-nii’s eyes widened like he was surprised.
Then he immediately looked away. I wonder what’s wrong.
Well, whatever. More importantly……
“You pulled so hard that it hurt.”
“If it’s like that, stand up by yourself. Enough……go sleep in your room.
Big brother’s probably coming home soon.
It’d be bad to bother them, and I want to sleep peacefully.
I decided to obediently sleep in my room so I staggered to my feet and slowly walked off.
“That was dangerous……that face is a foul.”
“It’s nothing. Quickly go!”
“Why so snappy……unreasonable……”
I left the living room while being scolded by Haru-nii.
On the way, I saw vegetables from the neighborhood placed at the entrance, but I couldn’t see big brother.
He should’ve returned by now, did he go to the toilet?
I arrived at my room while walking like a zombie somehow.
And just like that, I fell onto the bed.
