Today, you're cleaning the guest room.
After Keisuke and Chifuyu left, you busied yourself with cleaning while humming a song. (The song titled Rest In Rampage hahaha)
You're the same age as Keisuke, and your birthday is actually a week later after his. There's many occasions where you and Keisuke shared your birthday, celebrating it together whenever your parents were too busy and could only buy you two a cake and sing a happy birthday song.
However, ever since you moved away you and Keisuke celebrated your birthdays through phone. And mostly you two talked all night without sleeping, that's what you both do whenever your birthday is coming up.
That's why you both are aware of each other's business.
"Finally! It's done!~"
Clapping your hand, you smiled contently as you took in the sight of the clean room, which is previously a little bit messy and full of things that you moved in into another room.
You head back to Keisuke's room first and took a bath, for the third time, before changing into clean set of clothes. After that, the things you brought with you that is still packed into you luggage bag was pulled into the guest room, where you'll be staying.
First, you arrange your clothes. Mostly they're filled with simple but elegant looking dresses; don't asked why because your Mom insisted she pack your clothes for you, and you're Mom is someone obsessed in wearing a dress. So, one by one, you put the dresses into hangers and hang them in the closest, before proceeding to take one a few T-shirts that you manage to somehow bring along. They are your most favorite shirts, the most comfortable and thin ones, which is obviously only meant to be worn inside this house and never outside.
So one by one, you carefully fold the rest of your clothes and put them too in the closet, before closing it. Looking down, you noticed one of your bag wasn't here and remember— Keisuke rummage that bag, exactly that one where you kept the chocolates.
Because of that, you let out a sigh and March back to his room.
You look around, and saw that your bag was placed on the desk. It wasn't that big, but the same size as a school bag. All it contains is some of your notebooks and books, plus some chocolates.
Walking towards the bag, you're about to take it and leave when you noticed one of the cabinet under the desk is ajar. You saw an envelope, and catch a glimpse of the familiar messy writing.
'Is that... What I think it is?' You thought in wonder, surprise masking your face as you contemplate whether to open it or not. In the end, curiosity got ahead of you and you opened the cabinet, your surprise further skyrocket but it was soon replaced by a mischievous grin as you reach over and pick up the envelope.
Judging by the look of it, This is obviously a letter. Amusement clouded your eyes. You didn't expect this.
Keisuke Baji, your cousin, actually had a letter hidden in his cabinet.
'Is this given to him or is he writing for someone?' You thought, and only when you flip the envelope did you learn that the answer is the latter guess. 'So it's for someone.'
The messy writing you saw is actually your cousin's name. It was written at the back, in big letters and looks like it was written in a hurry.
"That idiot. Thank god he actually made some progress. His writing is way more better compared to when he's still 12." You couldn't help but talk to yourself as you gaze at Keisuke's writing. You've heard from Aunt Baji how much Keisuke sucks at studying, and he couldn't even spell correctly.
After he got out of Juve in short while his studies fell more, and it wasn't until a year had passed when Keisuke Baji called you in the middle of the night. He talked to you seriously and admitted his guilt, about everything. You remember how he force himself not to cry while he was telling you how he saw his own mom cry because of his incompetence, his bad grades and failure in his studies actually caused his mother pain. He asked of you that night after a round of comforting, what it is he can do and you answered all he could do is try his best to study.
The fact that your cousin actually cried right in front of you proves one point: You're so much important to him.
Ever since the death of Sano Shinichiro, the older brother of Baji's friend whom they accidentally killed, Keisuke changed. He barely get a wink of sleep after that, and only your calls could make his mind be at ease. Because you both knew each other, almost like twins.
You and him understand each other like you're his other half and he's your other half. A fated pair of blood related souls. Keisuke loves to boast about it, how your bond is closer than any other siblings, much closer than any twins.
And who could comfort him in his bad days aside from the one he considered as his closest person? The one he considered to be his greatest support is you, (Y/n) (L/n).
That's why he listened to you. He force his body to work hard, actually doing his studies and attending school at daylight and being a gangster at the night. Such schedule is the only way for him. He's too loyal to his friends that he couldn't leave Toman, too loving of a son that he fears his mother crying. So he force his body to do both roles each and every day.
This is probably why Baji is delighted to learn you'll be living with him.
You and Your cousin, both of you are pairs.
However, the two of you also know that you support Keisuke more than he support you— because you're capable of handling your own problems, not needing anyone elses help. If you can't handle it, there's that brother of yours who's capable of anything, that brother of yours who's hailed as genius.
Thinking of your cousin and how you were dealt a big blow once you learned he entered Juvenile and how you felt cold the moment you learned of the situation, you couldn't help but to gripped the letter a bit tighter.
"At least he's becoming more and more responsible." You said, letting out a chuckle. " But being too responsible isn't good... it's alright if he can just enjoy whatever he's doing."
