☾♡ Eric ♡☽

Hatred has always come easily to me.

People liked to say brothers should love each other, protect each other, grow up side by side like two trees from the same root. But Frank and I had never grown like that. From the moment we were children, he stood taller, brighter, louder than me.

He was the one teachers praised. The one elders smiled at. The one girls whispered about in class. Even on Valentine’s Day, when everyone was supposed to get the same cheap chocolate from classmates, F

  • The Brother I Shouldn’t Want   061

    ꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂The chair was uncomfortable. I leaned back anyway, one arm resting loosely against it, my fingers tapping lightly as my gaze drifted across the room without really focusing on anything. The police station smelled like stale air and paperwork, a mix that didn’t change no matter where you went. Officers moved in and out, going about their routine like this was just another day, another problem to deal with before moving on to the next. To them, it probably was. To me, it was just a delay.Across from me, the men from earlier didn’t look as relaxed. Their clothes were still disheveled, their expressions tight, irritation sitting heavy on their faces like they hadn’t expected things to go this way. Bruises were already forming, some darker than others, a few cuts still fresh enough to show exactly how things had gone for them. They kept looking at me, like they were waiting for something, an apology, a reaction, anything at all, but they weren’t getting it.“So you’re

  • The Brother I Shouldn’t Want   060

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂“Tim!”The voice cut through the noise around me, sharp and familiar, and before I could fully process it, someone was already in front of me, closing the distance in seconds as I tried to stand from the floor. Strong arms steadied me before I could lose my balance completely, pulling me upright when the floor felt like it was still spinning under my feet. Frank. I didn’t need to look twice to know it was him. His grip was firm, one hand at my back, the other holding my arm like he was making sure I wouldn’t drop right there, his presence cutting through the chaos around me in a way nothing else could.“Are you okay?” he asked, his voice low but urgent, his eyes scanning my face quickly before settling on the back of my head where the pain was still pulsing.I nodded, even though everything still felt like it was shifting slightly around me. “I’m fine,” I said, my voice not as steady as I wanted it to be. “I just need a second.”He didn’t look convinced, but he didn’t

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂I had just finished attending to my last patient for the shift when a nurse hurried toward me, her steps quick, her expression tight like something had just gone wrong. “Doctor Tim,” she called, slightly out of breath. “There’s an emergency case. Construction accident. They just brought him in.” I didn’t ask anything else. I nodded once and moved immediately.Whatever thoughts I had earlier, whatever had been sitting at the back of my mind since the café, it all got pushed aside without effort. The emergency ward was already active when I got there, nurses moving quickly, voices overlapping.The patient was on the bed, barely conscious, his breathing uneven, his body covered in dust and blood like he had been pulled straight out of the site without proper cleaning. His clothes were torn in places, his skin bruised, and there was a deep cut along his side that hadn’t stopped bleeding properly. I stepped closer without wasting time, my focus narrowing immediately. “What

  • The Brother I Shouldn’t Want   058

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂I stopped by a café near the hospital to get coffee and a few treats for myself and the others before heading in again. It had become something I did without thinking, a routine that made things easier when the day ahead was going to be long and exhausting and besides I never got to drink the coffee that Sheila brought for me. The place wasn’t too crowded, just enough people to keep the line moving slowly, and I stood there waiting for my turn, already knowing what I was going to order.I didn’t expect to see her.“Tim?”I turned, and there she was.Laura.For a second, I just looked at her, trying to process it properly because the last thing I had heard was that no one knew when she would be back. Eric had said it like it wasn’t something he had control over, like it was uncertain, and yet here she was standing right in front of me like nothing had changed.“Laura,” I said, a little surprised, my brows pulling together slightly. “You’re back?”She smiled, calm and easy

    ꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂Peter had sent me the address earlier.Jacques’ house.It was supposed to be simple. I show up, we talk, he gives me the construction rights, and I finally get to settle things properly in New York without having to keep shifting pieces around like I’ve been doing for months now. It wasn’t even about ambition at this point, it was about control, about having something stable in a place that clearly didn’t want to give me that easily. Jacques had the kind of influence that made things smoother, quieter, less messy, and once he agreed, everything else would fall into place without much resistance.That was the plan, before everything got ruined.Before Kagemoto Kazama decided to get involved.I exhaled slowly as I drove, my fingers tapping lightly against the steering wheel in a steady rhythm that didn’t match the way my thoughts were moving. It was trying to piece together something that was already obvious but still didn’t sit right.The meeting had failed.Not just

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂I couldn’t stop thinking about it.No matter how many times I tried to push it to the back of my mind, it kept coming back, replaying in small fragments that didn’t even make sense on their own but still managed to sit heavy in my chest. The mail. The way Frank had said it so casually, like it wasn’t something that should have shaken me the way it did. Like it was just a fact, something obvious, something I should have already known.But I didn’t.And that was the problem.I stood in the corner of the staff room, my fingers loosely wrapped around the edge of the table, staring at nothing in particular while my mind ran in circles. I could still hear his voice, the way it had dropped slightly when he said it, the way his expression had changed just enough for me to notice even if he didn’t make a big deal out of it.“You’re repaying him for saving your life by letting him walk over you and kissing you… yeah right, I saw the mail of the two of you kissing that you sent.”I

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂Eric’s breathing turned ragged, his body shaking like he was freezing even though the room was warm. One officer stepped closer, speaking calmly into a radio clipped to his shoulder. Another reached for Eric’s arm, trying to guide him back into the chair. Eric resisted weakly, his stre

    ꧁࿇ Eric࿇꧂When I opened my eyes, the first thing I felt was the cold that settled in the room. It pressed against my chest heavier than the blanket on my body, the air smelled like medicine and something cold. My head ached, not the sharp throbbing kind of pain, but the dull kind that comes after

    ꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂“Deal.” I smiled at him, he was about to open the car door when I stopped him. I couldn't let him just go inside, not like this.“Tim, stay here with me for a while.”I watched Tim’s face in the dim glow of the dashboard lights, tracing the tension in his jaw, the way his fingers d

    ꧁❀ 𝘛𝘪𝘮 ❀꧂Frank didn’t stop pulling me until we reached his car. The whole way there, he kept talking in a frantic rush, like if he paused for even one second, I would suddenly decide not to believe him. His words came out tangled and breathless, his hand gripping my wrist so tightly that I cou
