Dinner was quiet and akwardness lingered in the air, usually Ichiro would have tried to lighten up the place but he was still sulking from the previous day and was still angry with his brothers. Of course the brothers noticed but then again, they never knew how to reconcile with anyone ( PS : don't know if that's true) Yui noticed too and kept looking at them , personaly she was worried about Ichiro, but Ayato would get mad if he noticed.
"You haven't eaten very much Bitchy-chan~" Laito said as he invaded Yui's personal space
" You need to eat properly or you could become anemic , would you like me to feed you~" Laito glanced at Ichiro, hoping to get a reaction from him , but the white haired male only ignored him and continued eating his food like a normal person .
"Laito" Reiji called gaining the red head's attention.
"It's bad manners to be on your feet during a meal " he scolded, Laito got off Yui
"Yes sir~" Laito glanced at Yui
"We'll continue this later bitchy-chan"
"Seriously with that nickname" Ichiro mumbled making Laito halt in his steps
"Mmm~? What was that little brother?" , Ichiro pouted and looked away stubbornly
"Nothing" Laito chuckled finding his reaction cute.
"Laito" Reiji once again scolded
"Alright, Alright" Laito waved his hand dissmisivly and went to seat on his suddenly Shu stood up
"Mr Shu?"
"Oni-san?" Ichiro and Yui exclaimed in unison, both paused, Ichiro just shrugged
"This is a pain" Shu then left
' what's up with him?' Ichiro thought as he watched his brother leave, a little worried about him, sure he was mad but he was mainly mad at Ayato! By now Ichiro had figured out that they held no respect for humans and that is exactly opposite to what his mother taught him, Ichiro clenched his fists under the table as he thought about what part his father had played in all of this, was his father just a masked man hiding his true nature? Ichiro let out a sigh as he stuffed some Crossed bun into his mouth.
"That deadbeat"
"Huh?" Ichiro's attention was caught by Reiji's words
"Nothing good can come out of anyone who grows up spoilt rotten" Reiji continued
"W-what?" Ichiro stammered, yeah, Reiji was right but was he referring to Shu ? And weren't his words a little bit harsh? Further more they came from the same mother didn't they? Just what was going on?
"Teddy, what would you like to eat next?" Kanato started talking to his teddy bear, Ichiro wondered how, just how Kanato saw an object as a real person, it was adorable but that type of attitude were usually owned by children and Ichiro was certain that his brothers were far from childhood when it comes to Thier age. So far, it was weird , possibly dangerous. Suddenly Kanato started stabbing his food startling Ichiro would flinched
"...." Ichiro stared at his brother for a while expressionless before trying to tell him that it's unhealthy to eat pastries in the morning (A/t: me in real life says screw that rule, but it is actually unhealthy, try at your own risk!)
"Don't tell me what to do!" Kanato glared at him, Ichiro sighed sadly
"I wasn't even….. never mind" kanato questioned why he felt bad for talking to Ichiro that way .
"Tsk!" He hugged his teddy tighter to himself , Reiji continued with what he was saying
"He won't even make an effort to attend our monthly dinner party" Ichiro blinked in surprise
'they can actually host a party?' he thought
With a look of suprise.
"Party?" Ichiro said in surprise
" Hai, we host a party every end of the month, you seem surprised " Laito commented ,
"Any reason why?" Ichiro immediately shook is head with a cheerful smile, the mention of party kind of made him happy too. Laito smiled at his brother's cuteness, if one looked closer at Reiji , they could see a tiny smile slightly visible. Subaru's attention had also been caught, he wondered what made Ichiro so different from them.
"That will be all for today" Reiji said and everyone started to take Thier leave
"What?" Yui exclaimed in surprise, Ichiro stayed to finish his food, cause he wasn't taught to waste food. Unlike some people he knew (🙄)
"One moment" Reiji interupted Yui as she was about to leave
"Your table manners are deplorable, you too Ichiro" Reji raised an eyebrow at Ichiro who was putting more quantity of food than he should, Ichiro chuckled sheepishly and quickly adjusted his food.
"One of these days I will take you both aside and discipline you thoroughly, understood ?"
" Okay " Yui said but Ichiro simply did the cutest smile and said
"Onii-san~" he then Did the puppy eyes!
( A/t: oh , for those who aren't getting it, you know that puppy face any younger sibling would do when they want something? Yeah that's it!)
" I can't make any promises you know~"
"....."
"....." Reiji purses his lips and takes a deep breath, not really understanding his feelings, he adjusted his glasses and sped walked out of the room, Ichiro burst out laughing! Yui can't help but chuckle too.
(A/n : and that's all for today guys, see ya later~)
