Song: I'm Not Okay (I Promise) by My Chemical Romance

(A/N: you know shit gets real when MCR comes into play)

I slid down the wall of the elevator as it went down. My laughter had stopped and now I was crying.

How is that not important? Most of her brothers confessing to her... Did Iori confess too? How long ago was this? Juli didn't know either! Am I just a bad best friend?

The doors opened and I got up and walked down the hallway to my room, covering my face with my hair that I had left down today.

Just as I unlocked my door, I heard the elevator doors open.

"Who came after me?" I muttered as I walked into the room.

As I was about to close it, a hand and a foot blocked the way.

"(Y/N)."

It was Iori. He had come.

"Is it true? Did all of your brothers confess to Ema?" I muttered as I looked away from the crack of the door.

"Most of them, yes. We all love her."

We...

"As more than a sister? Like as a woman?" I whispered, my voice cracking.

"Yes."

I flickered my eyes towards him before looking back at the doorframe.

"Do you...love her?" My voice cracked.

"Yes, I do."

I glanced at him with disbelief before looking at my feet and going to close the door again.

"(Y/N), wait. Let's talk about this," Iori said and tried to get me to stop closing the door.

"There is nothing to talk about. You told me everything I needed to know."

"There is. I don't love her anymore-"

"Love doesn't go away, Iori!" I screeched.

Iori stared at me.

"I-I should know..." I added quietly, adverting my gaze to the ground.

Iori took this as a chance to swing the door open, hitting me.

I yelped in pain and took a step back, away from him.

I held the side of my face which is where the door hit. I could feel the bruise forming.

Iori took a step closer to me.

"(Y/N)..."

"Stay back! Leave me alone! That's all I ever wanted to be!"

I had found my voice...

He tried to peel my hand away from my face but I would not let him.

"No!" I yelled, my hair covering my face.

Iori blinked at me.

I fell to my knees and looked up at him.

"Please...just leave..." I was shaking and sobbing by now.

"(Y/N)..."

"Please... I want to be alone."

"I don't want you to hurt yourself if I leave." He said and bent down in front of me on his knees.

Iori took one of his hands and put it on top of mine.

"I wouldn't...not over something so idiotic I could laugh... Tell me, who didn't confess?"

"Masaomi-nii-san, Ukyo-nii-san, Hikaru-nii-san, and Louis-nii-san." He replied and my mouth opened wide.

"Nine of out of thirteen confessed? That's a huge thing not to tell a person... You know, I've told her everything...from the time I was born to the days I don't feel well... Why would she keep something so big from me?" I started to mutter to myself and wrapped my arms around my knees, bringing them up to my chest.

"(Y/N), did the door really hit you that hard? Should we go to Masaomi-nii-san?" I blinked as he examined me.

"In a minute... I'm sorry for yelling..." I answered and Iori smiled softly.

"It's okay. I love you."

"I love you too."

Iori leaned in and kissed me. Almost immediately I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck.

He put one hand on the ground and the other wrapped around my back.

Iori pulled back for a minute before I kissed him again, tightening my hold behind his neck.

He ran his tongue along my lip asking for entrance which I did not give him, instead I smiled into the kiss.

Iori backed up and we were out of breath. I was smiling at him and he was smiling back softly, his real smile.

I had realized that recently his smiles had become more genuine. Maybe I had rubbed off on him.

After we had caught our breath, Iori helped me up and we walked to the elevator to go to Masaomi to have him take a look at the bruise on my cheek.

"Masaomi-nii-san," Iori called out as soon as the elevator doors opened.

"What is it, Iori-kun?" I could hear his worried voice ask.

Iori dragged me down the stairs and into the kitchen/dining room where everyone was.

"I had an accident with a door..." I smiled sheepishly and looked at the doctor who immediately shot up and walked over.

"Is that was that slam was from upstairs?" Ukyo asked and I nodded.

"Okay, good news, there is no cut and your bruise should heal up soon. The bad news is that soon may not be as soon as you would like. How hard did that door hit?"

"Pretty hard. It's okay though, I've been through worse."

I smiled at them all, my eyes meeting Ema's.

Immediately, she looked away and I did too after a minute.

"I'm sorry for leaving so suddenly and causing a scene. I got hit with some very big news. I'm okay now, however so don't worry."

Masaomi smiled back before sitting back down.

I dragged Iori over to the table and we sat down before talking to the others and eating.

Later that night we all sat around the couch and talked. Some, Wataru, Tsubaki, Ema, etc, played video games and participated now and then as well.

"(Y/N)-chan?" Hikaru suddenly called.

"Hai?" I questioned, turning towards him.

"Is it true that you and Iori-kun are together now?"

"H-hai, we are." I stuttered, turning towards Iori to sat next to me.

"Yay~! Finally!" Hikaru cheered.

"You did it, (Y/N)-chan," Louis also said from next to me, patting my head.

Ukyo and Masaomi smiled at us while Tsubaki got up and cheered with Hikaru.

"Wh-why is this such a big celebration?" I questioned, looking at everyone's happy faces.

Hikaru stops cheering and claps.

"Because it's been seven years that we've been hearing about you. Seven years to realize you liked each other!" Hikaru said, quite dramatically.

My face started heating up and I looked at my lap.

Iori's hand took mine and they rested in my lap, making my face flush a darker pink.

The brothers laughed around us and went back to talking.

"See? It wasn't that bad," Iori whispered in my ear when no one was paying attention.

"I guess it wasn't," I muttered back with a smile.

"Ha! I won again!" Yuusuke suddenly yelled, having won the match against Ema, Wataru, Tsubaki, and Natsume.

"Not for long~" I sung before sliding onto the floor and taking Ema's controller.

Extra:

"Damnit!"

"AHA! I did it!"

"Ne~ no fair~! Ema-chan, can you give your onii-chan a hug to cheer him up?"

"Tsubaki, no."

"Tsubaki, no."

"Ouch~ Azusa! Natsume! You two are mean!"

"You're a sore loser."

"You're a sore winner!"

"You aren't good at comebacks~"

"Yuusuke was beat by a girl~!"

"Hey!"

"Teehee."

"Guys, calm down."

"Aw~ aren't they so cute~"

"Owwww. Did you have to do that, Ukyo-nii?"

"You don't need any perverted thoughts because I know that was directed towards the two girls in the room."

"Ouch~ Now why would I do that?"

"Ow!"

"This family is a mess."

Guess who is who~
