"Talking"

'Thinking'

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

At the current time, a young man could currently be seen sitting inside a room with the basic essentials. These including a bed, a desk with a computer set up, along with a few bookshelves as well as a closet. The room was rather bland as not much was really decorating it, the walls being white and the floor covered by black polished wood planks.

The male could be seen to be the age of seventeen as his eyes were solely focused on the computer, typing at a fast speed. The male had slightly pale skin along with a lean build, wearing a simple casual set of clothes that consisted of a white t-shirt, black shorts reaching halfway down his thighs, and that was pretty much it.

He also had straight neat black hair along with some red strands on the left side, which went well with his crimson red eyes. His eyes did appear to be rather tired at the moment though as they could easily be seen to be forcing themselves open.

This young man was Asuto Kisamuzame.

The young man, as stated before, was typing away at his computer as a number of papers were present on his desk, not enough that it created massive stacks, but were quite a lot in number. The papers all had quite a lot of writing on them as well, with both sides completely full of words. Both English as well as Japanese.

"Big brother, are you okay...?"

"H-Hm?" Asuto stopped typing as he turned his head towards the door to his room. When he did, he saw that a young man around the age of eight or so, staring towards him with a look of immense concern. The boy not having opened the door fully, but enough to peek his head through along with the top half of his body.

This boy was Shu, the youngest brother of Asuto. Despite being blood-related, Shu had more brownish-black hair compared to Asuto along with having a pair of blue eyes instead of red. The boy had on a black and white hoodie along with a pair of long blue pants, the hood not being put up so his face wasn't obscured.

"Oh, Shu... Yeah, I'm fine. Do you need something?"

"N-No, just wanted to check on you..."

"Ah~, I appreciate it." Asuto smiled softly as he said this. "Don't worry, Shu. I'm doing fine, go and have some fun watching videos or something with Akira or something. I'm going to need to finish a few things here..."

Speaking of which, another voice soon called out over the top of the previous two. The person who had produced the voice having had walked on over next to Shu by the door, grabbing onto his shoulders and giving the kid a frown. The male didn't appear much older than Shu, probably only around two years or so older.

He had black hair similar to Asuto, though didn't have any red bangs. Though, he did have slightly-pale looking skin along with a pair of ruby red eyes.

"Oi, Shu. Don't disturb big bro, you know he's busy..."

"I know, I just wanted to check..."

"That's fine. But, wait until he's finished until you ask... Go and pick a movie, we can watch it together." Shu just gave Akira, the boy that had just appeared, a nod before quickly leaving. Akira sighed as he then turned to look towards Asuto, who had just watched them with an amused smile. "You seriously okay?"

"If I'm honest... no."

"Don't push yourself so much. We also need to head to school tomorrow as well, don't we? You're starting school again, right?"

"Yeah... I'm transferring to your school. We won't be near Shu since there aren't any good elementary schools near." Asuto assured. The reason for him attending a different school was due to education, the school was a private one and could give him some advantages. "We'll make sure to come and pick him up as fast as we can."

"I am only a year younger than you, you know..." Akira frowned as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Why don't you just go home yourself first? I can pick up Shu for you. You need to get as much sleep as you possibly can... Plus, with the job you're applying for right now along with school, will you even get any at all?"

"Leave that to me, Akira. You and Shu focus on school, I'll handle our finances." Asuto stated seriously as he stood up from his chair and stretched his arms. Asuto then walked over to Akira and patted his head with a small grin. "Plus, even though you're only a year younger than me. You barely look any older than Shu."

"St-Stop it!" Akira frowned as he swatted Asuto's hand off of his head. Asuto just gave a small chuckle before walking back over to his desk and continued his work. Akira just watched for a second before giving a defeated sigh as he gently closed the door, leaving Asuto to his own devices.
