Chapter 35: Back home
(Ryoto's pov)
I was walking home together with Lala and Rito. Lala was talking about how much fun she had today. I was happy that she was happy but meeting Akiho wasn't something I would plan to do willingly. And I'm just hoping that now that she knows that in her sister classmate, she won't try to get in contact with me more often. Now that I think about it, we didn't know about each other's private life.
My thoughts were broken by Rito.
Rito: "Hey Nii-san, you said that at Sairenji-San's home that your eyes are blue, but I'm pretty sure you have brown eyes. I remembered that when we were young children, we would compare our eyes color, and yours were a darker shade than mine and Mikan."
Ryoto: "I used to have brown eyes, but something happened, and I got my new beautiful eyes."
Rito: "Can you show them to me? To be honest, I'm still not believing you entirely but as they say, 'seeing is believing."
Ryoto: "Well, I don't have any problem with that."
I looked around, making sure that no one was around, and opened my eyes, revealing them once more.
Rito: "WHA-"
I put my finger on Rito's lips, silencing him in the process.
Ryoto: "Calm down, no need for screaming."
I said calmly and put back my finger.
Rito: "B-but Nii-San, your eyes! What happened to them, are you hurt, do they hurt, should we go to the hospital!?"
Ryoto: "As I said, calm down. Everything is alright. I'm not hurt nor feel any pain, and what would doctors in a hospital even do when one of the best doctors didn't know anything about them."
Rito: "One of the best doctors?"
Ryoto: "Mikado-sensei."
Rito: "But she is a school nurse."
Ryoto: "And famous doctor through the whole galaxy."
Rito: "She is an alien!?"
Ryoto: "Why are you surprised? It's not the first time you meet an alien."
Rito: "It doesn't make it easier, though. *Sigh* I wish I could be as composed as you, Nii-San.I have one question, though. Why didn't you tell me about your eyes?"
I shrugged my shoulders.
Ryoto: "You didn't ask."
Rito gave me a look like he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
Rito: "So why Mikan knows then?"
Ryoto: "She asked."
Karen: "You know what, I'm starting to see similarities between you two."
'You know that we aren't related, right?'
Karen: "But you're still a family, right?"
Karen shocked me with her statement. 'You're still a family', huh? I sometimes forget that simple fact.
'Thanks, Karen.'
I didn't get an answer from her this time.
Rito: "Wait, so who else knows?"
Ryoto: "Mikan, Lala, Mikado-sensei, Zastin and his two followers and now you."
We talked about trivial things for the rest of our way home, and finally, we arrived home. Inside we ate dinner as usual. After we finished dinner, I trained a bit my water bending and watered down Celine. I managed to move water a bit. It isn't much, but it's progress nonetheless.
Soon after, I went to take a bath. Mikan and Lala accompanied me there.
Ryoto: "You were so embarrassed at the beginning, and right now you walk into the bathroom, witnessing your brother in his birth suit without even blin-"
I couldn't finish what I wanted to say because a towel was thrown at my face. I could dodge it, but it would make Mikan even angrier, and I like my food not burned... but I switched her sight with Rito's. He would only be able to see my figure as Lala was behind Mikan and wasn't visible to her.
Rito: "WHAT THE-"
Mikan: "Goddammit, Ryoto, change it back!"
Ryoto: "Language."
Mikan: "Dinner."
Mikan practically growled at me. I was obviously testing her patience, but I think it's enough for today. I like teasing her, but I need to know when to stop. Usually, a person should be able to tell when it's too far but not me, unfortunately, but at least I'm learning.
At this, I changed everything back to normal. I should learn to cook soon. With that skill, Mikan wouldn't have any power over me.
Lala laughed at our antics, but her smile turned into a warm one as she remembered something close to her heart.
Ryoto: "Think about something?"
Lala: "It's just seeing you like this. I recalled the time I spent with my sisters."
Mikan was instantly interested in the topic.
Mikan: "You have sisters Lala-San?"
Lala: "Yeah, they are pair of twins younger than me. They argued a lot, and every time it happened, I tried to arrange ways for them to make up."
She giggled at her own story.
Lala: "I wonder what they're up to."
I put my hand on hers and squeezed it gently.
Ryoto: "I'm sure they're fine. Your father is the ruler of the galaxy. Anyone who would try to harm them would need to be crazy, suicidal, or both."
Lala: "I'm more worried about them getting in trouble again. Without me there, there's no one to mediate between them."
Lala scratched her cheek in embarrassment.
...Right, that's what she meant.
Lala: "But thanks for worrying, Ryoto!"
She jumped at me hugged me, and because she was wearing only a towel, I could feel almost everything. We hugged each other in bed, and Lala was naked there, but it didn't change the fact that she is a beautiful girl with a sexy body, so my little brother reacted a bit. I am, after all, a boy in my adolescence, but thanks to my strong will and one of the titles, I managed to calm myself down.
Mikan: "When you two lovebirds are done with your flirting, we can start washing each other."
Ryoto: "No need to be jealous, Mikan. No matter how much I love Lala, I'll still have time for you."
Mikan: "Who is jealous!?"
We spent some time in the bathroom, and after we cleaned ourselves, we went to our respective rooms. And there I fell asleep with Lala at my side.
