That awkward moment when you find out your older brother used to have a secret gay lover..

First Chapter

Have you ever been in one of those really awkward situations that you wish was easy to get out of?...

Well, I have. And this one was staring me right in the face.

"Leeeooo.."

I blinked my eyes once or twice to attempt to erase this scene from my mind, but it was forever burned into my brain..

And that image, was that of my older brother being fondled, by one of his old highschool friends.

"E-elliot?" I stammered, watching as the strange man clung to my older brother's waist.

"Oh, hey Shane." he said as happily and clueless as always.

I stared incredulously at him.

"Oh ah, this here is Hikaru Takao." he said, indicating the man still holding onto his waist.

"Yo.." Hikaru muttered into my brother's waist.

"Well.." I said.

"It seems it was a good idea to buy extra for tonight.." and handed one of the large heavy grocery bags to my brother i'd been holding, before dragging him into the kitchen, forcing that Hikaru character to let go of him, and sulk on into the living room.

 

----------------------

 

Who did he think he was? Just barging into their home like that, and possibly molesting Elliot.

"Shane!" Elliot called, seconds before I brought the knife down i'd been using to cut celery with into my hand. I yelped in anguish, and grabbed a bunch of the paper towels that sat a few inches from me on the counter, and wrapped them tightly around the open cut.

"You need to be careful!" Elliot said.

"What's going on in here?" Hikaru asked slowly making his way into the kitchen, eyebrow cocked.

"It's nothing!" I replied, trying to hide my bleeding hand, as Elliot began to drag me out of the kitchen.

"Come on Shane, we need to clean this up-""

"I'll do it, Leo." Hikaru said, coming up from behind us, grabbing hold of my outstretched arm.

"You go continue with dinner, i've got it from here." he said, pushing me forcefuly into the bathroom, before he closed, and locked the door, leaning against it.

"So, how long has Leo been engaged?" he asked, eyes narrowed and arms crossed.

"For about three years now!" I replied, my answer obviously having upset him, because after the words spilled from my mouth, he'd unlocked and slammed the door open, before sauntering back into the living room, and plopping back down on the couch, resting his feet on the coffee table.

Man was he infuriating!

"Arrogant a*****e.." I muttered, before turning back around. Getting down onto my hands and knees, I thrust open the cupboard door, and pulled from it a small med-kit. Inside, I pulled out a large bandage, and a tube of A&D ointment. Slathering the ointment onto the open cut, I then procceded to smooth the bandage out over the cut, and shove the ointment back into the box, and put it back into the cupboard, before closing the door, throwing the bloodied paper towel out in the waste basket that sat next to the sink, and made my way back out to where Hikaru sat, just as Elliot came out of the kitchen with dinner.

 

--------------------------

 

"Mnng.." I moaned, enjoying every last bite of the curry my brother had made.

Curry, my favorite!

"This is great." Hikaru stated, gently setting his bowl down onto the table top.

"Thanks guys." Elliot said with a smile, scooping the dirty dishes up, and heading into the kitchen with them. Imerging several minutes later with three bowls of ice cream.

"Thanks, Leo." Hikaru said, setting his already empty bowl down onto the table.

"Now.. Are you ever going to answer my question?" he asked, staring at Elliot, his expression completely serious.

"What question?" my brother asked, completely clueless as always.

Hikaru's face automatically changed to that of anger, as he leaned forward, pushing Elliot down onto his back, causing him to drop the bowl of ice cream from his hand, as Hikaru crushed his lips to Elliot's.

My eyes had never opened that wide before..

Elliot began to thrash underneath Hikaru's weight.

"That was just a one time fling!" my brother shouted, finally able to push Hikaru off. "Those feelings are now gone! I'm engaged for christ sake!"

A rush of emotion hit me just at that moment..

Anger..

Guilt?...

Resenment..

And, sadness.

"I.. believe it's time for another.. ice cream run." I said, my voice sounding monotone, already able to feel the burning sensation in my eyes; I needed some time alone. My movements seeming robotic, I clammered from the couch, and out the door, stopping to grab my coat, and shove my shoes onto my feet, before descending the stairs, and rushing out the door, and onto the street.

 

----------------------------- 

 

"Stupid Elliot!" I shouted, slamming my fist into the lamp post that towered over me. Already regretting it, as a shooting pain ran up my arm.

"Shane!" came an unexpected voice.

"What!?" I asked, hating the fact that he was now standing so close to me.

Hikaru looked down at my anguished expression, obviously feeling the anger in my gaze.

"I.. why are you crying?.." he asked, before I could wipe away the villainous tear that dripped down my cheek.

"Because I never knew my brother could be so heartless!" I replied, not able to stop the rambling that began.

"He just.. just coldly pushed you feelings aside like they were.. trash!" and I turned away from him, leaning against the lamp post, needing to stop before I broke out into full on sobs.

All I coulld hear next, was the echo of my name, and then he'd twisted me around, grabbed a hold of my waist, and was now kissing me.

What..?

 

But..

 

This.. Was my first kiss!

 

 And it was.. being taken, by a man!?

 

No!

 

This had to stop!

 

I slowly opened my mouth to protest, and push him away, when he pulled away himself, and brought me into his chest, hugging onto me tightly, having begun to cry himself.

"That was.. the first time anyone's ever.. acknowledged my feelings before." he said, his body beginning to shake.

"Thank you.." he murmured.

All I could honestly do in this situation, was..  slowly bring my arms up, and hug him back just as tightly...

Author's Note

So! This was all writen it.. First person?.. I think.. I rarely ever write in first person, and usually write in.. is it second?.. Or third?.. (Where the use of him, her, he, 'their actual name' is put into use rather then, I, or me.) Tell me what you think! If you think i'd be better off writing the rest in third... or second whichever it is, just tell me in a review and i'll write the rest out in .. That style of writing! :)
