Brother’s Concern
Quite the evening Mozza would say, with his little brother crashing at his apartment again. This was quite normal, seeing as well, Andonis was homeless and had no job. This has resulted in multiple times raiding the pantry that is full of sweets in Mozza’s apartment. Mozza has always had this lingering concern though, that his own little brother might be going a bit overboard sometimes.
Quite the usual day, of finding Andonis laying on the couch, freeloading as per usual when Mozza arrived home. He did notice something though, immediately gaining his concern.
“Andonis, what’s that bruise on your face?” Mozza couldn’t help but ask the Watakuma who was on the couch. This caught the other’s attention.
“Why would it matter to you?” The usual, harsh, sharp tone that Andonis has. He scowled a bit at Mozza, this didn’t get the older one of the two off his case.
“You need to be more careful, you may have set an example for others, but that doesn’t mean anything when it comes to your health.” Mozza went to get a pack of ice for it, and came to push it onto Andonis’ face. He just sat there, looking at his little brother, who was clearly looking away in embarrassment.
“I’m not a little kid, old man…” This coming out of his mouth just made Mozza sigh. He got up for a moment to get a blanket and wrap Andonis up in it.
“Well, you are now. Put up with it.” He said as he made sure the ice pack stayed over the bruise that Andonis had gotten. It felt nice to have someone to look after as if that someone was your younger sibling.
Mozza sat back down on the floor next to the couch, looking at Andonis. He giggled a bit.
“Why are you laughing old man..” This made Andonis flustered. Mozza just closed his eyes, resting his cheeks on the knuckles of his hands.
“Well, as you might have realized, I really was a single child. I did however really want a sibling. So I guess what I’m trying to say is that you really are a little brother who needs to be taken care of, sometimes at the very least.” This made Andonis just look at him, and then roll his eyes and groan. This just made Mozza giggle more, he really is an old man, appreciating the simple things.
“Hey, old man.” The younger said to catch the attention of the older.
“Yes Andonis?” Mozza looked at him, slightly confused.
“…Thank you.” It was quiet, clearly out of being embarrassed from being taken care of. Mozza just… smiled, it was soft too.
“Hey, don’t sweat it, you’re my little brother after all.” He pat Andonis’ head for a bit before attending to the work he needs to do at home. Before he knew it, the younger had fallen asleep. It was… calm… and quiet, just enough to be able to fall asleep from it.
“Ah, I’ll need to restock the pantry.” Mozza said upon opening the pantry door, seeing it with a mess of empty packages and even more barren compared to this morning.
