Brotherly Love
Naomi sat at the table. She crossed her leg over the other.
"Big bro, are you almost done?"
She called out, wanting to hear her brothers voice.
"Uh huh, just a little longer"
Her elder brother shouted back from the kitchen. She smiled to herself.
Naomi had been sitting at that table in silence waiting for her brother to finish breakfast for about thirty minutes. She didn't mind the wait. She quite liked the soft sound of bacon sizzling and her brother quietly humming to himself. It was calm. Subconsciously, she hummed along with her brother. Junichiro emerged from the kitchen, he placed two plates on the table. One in front of Naomi, the other where he usually sat.
"Good morning!"
Naomi beamed as her brother took his seat parallel to herself.
"Good morning Naomi"
He smiled sweetly. He looked over to his sister taken aback.
"What's with that?"
Jun questioned his sister before sitting.
"With what?"
Naomi tilted her head in confusion.
"That"
He pointed at Naomi's head.
"Did you wake up this morning and decide you weren't gonna brush your hair?"
Naomi giggled.
"No, I just sorta forgot"
Her brother chucked back. He stood up and disappeared once more. Naomi turned in her chair.
"Wait, where ya going?"
The ginger didn't respond. She turned back around stabbing a piece of bacon with her fork. As soon and Junichiro left he was back, this time behind his sister. He softly took her long raven hair into his hands. Naomi smiled at the sudden touched. Junichiro gently brought the brush down threw her tangled locks. Every time he would hit a knot and pull he'd make sure she was okay. Naomi smiled at how gentle her brother was. After a few minutes of silently brushing the younger girls hair, she spoke.
"If you keep tending to my hair, your food will get cold"
Without stopping Jun responded
"That's ok, I'll just put it in the microwave"
She hummed quietly knowing that there was no way she'd win against her brother. Junichiro may not look the strongest but, both physically and verbally, he could win in a battle. He continued to brush the knots out his sisters hair as she ate. Once Naomi felt no more knots being pulled, she raised her hand to her head to stop the brush from taking anymore strokes.
"I think its good Jun, now sit down and eat"
Naomi attempted to sound stern but, it ended up sounding like she was mocking a mother. Her brother chucked.
"Alright"
He placed the brush on the counter before returning to his seat. Once he was completely seated Naomi brought her hands together.
"Thank you for the food"
Junichiro smiled and did the same.
"Thank you for the food"
Junichiro took a fork full of scrambled eggs. The minute he started chewing the younger teen spoke.
"So.. is it cold?"
He smiled as he swallowed.
"Yeah.. just a little"
The both chuckled as Junichiro stood up and headed fo the microwave.
"I told you" "I know Naomi" Junichiro spoke softly while waiting for his food. Once the beeps from the microwave rang out, Junichiro made sure his food was warm before walking back to his sister. He sat back down, taking another fork full of eggs, this time they were warm. Both siblings ate in peace, Naomi finishing before her brother. She brought her dishes to the sink and rinsed them off. Her brother not far behind her.
"Thank you for brushing my hair big bro"
She threw herself at her brother knowing very well he'd catch her. She proceeded to wrap her arms around him, squeezing him in a tight bear like hug.
"Its no big deal Naomi, that's what brothers are for"
