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♡꧂By the time I was halfway done getting ready for work, I still wasn’t sure if I was fully awake or if my mind had finally crossed that line into something else entirely.I stood there for a moment, staring at my own reflection in the mirror, toothbrush still in my mouth, foam gathering at the corner as I paused mid-motion like I had forgotten what I was supposed to be doing. Frank was here. Actually here, not a hallucination, not a dream, not something my exhausted brain had created to fill in the gaps I didn’t want to deal with. He was in my apartment, in my kitchen, making breakfast like it was just a normal Monday.I rinsed my mouth slowly, my eyes caught the sight of bruises that were on my neck. My body was still catching up with everything that had happened the night before, or maybe it was still trying to process the fact that he hadn’t disappeared when I woke up, because a part of me had expected that. Expected to open my eyes and find nothing there.Expected

꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂I leaned back against the headboard, one leg stretched out while the other bent slightly, my body still warm, still carrying the aftereffect of everything we had done tonight. My hand reached for the cigarette on the table without thinking too much about it, fingers moving on instinct as I lit it, the faint spark breaking through the dimness before fading into a small, steady glow.I took a slow drag, letting it sit in my chest before exhaling, my gaze drifting without purpose until it landed on him again.Tim.He had already fallen asleep.Not surprising.We had gone at it more than once, and by the end of it, his body had given in completely, like it had nothing left to hold onto. He was lying there now, half turned to the side, the blanket barely covering him properly, his breathing slow and even like nothing in the world could reach him at that moment. There was something about the way he looked like that, completely unguarded, completely unaware, that made it h

꧁࿇ Ｅｒｉｃ࿇꧂ I had just stepped out of the shower when the silence of the house settled around me again, heavy and familiar in a way that felt almost suffocating if I paid too much attention to it. Water still clung to my skin as I ran a towel through my hair, slow and absent-minded, my thoughts already drifting somewhere else before I even finished drying off. The mirror in front of me reflected a version of myself that looked composed, put together, nothing out of place, but I knew better than to trust that surface. My mind wasn’t calm. It hadn’t been calm since earlier. Frank. Kagemoto Kazama had made that very clear. His people were watching his every move, making sure Frank stayed exactly where he was supposed to be. There was no way he could just slip out unnoticed, no way he could appear here, in New York, like nothing had been put in place to stop him. And yet, I had seen him. I let out a slow breath and went to the wine cabinet, reached for a bottle of wine, pouring my

꧁♡ 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

꧁❀ 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

꧁࿇ 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
