Summary: Ritsuka found out in a very bad way about what his brother has been up to. They talk.
the Story:

The younger boy made his way to his brother's room. Really, it wasn't exactly that he hadn't wanted to talk to Seimei. It was that he felt betrayed for believing in him and having that trust betrayed ... again. He'd trusted that Seimei would tell him the important things at least. That he'd earned that right by being here. By trusting him even though he knew he was being lied to. Now he knew he would never have that trust. he obviously wasn't worthy of it.

He stopped a few feet away from the door, turning to look in the mirror and frowning. There were no outward signs of what he'd been though in the zeppelin, and no facial expression that showed how hurt he really felt. After all, he wasn't important enough for Seimei not to abandon if he became upset with him. He'd already done that once, no, twice. He leaned further into the mirror and glared. He didn't know if the Ritsuka on the other side was watching or listening, but he glared anyway. "How do you do it?" He asked quietly. As if the mirror would answer him at all.

In the end he just sighed and straightened himself up, composing himself before finishing the walk and knocking on Seimei's door. He wondered if the older boy would try to feed him again. Everyone seemed to want to feed him when he couldn't actually eat anymore.

Seimei has a feeling that Ritsuka may be hiding something from him. Something having to do with the most recent event or with the unfortunate leak of information on to the network. However without proof, he'll have a hard time prying the information from Ritsuka's equally locked lips.

He would have liked to have told Ritsuka but the pact between himself and Kyouya had also been important. Seimei thought he would have had a chance to break the news to Ritsuka first and immediately when the chance arose but it had not worked out that way in the end.

The sacrifice opens door to his room. He has Dorine in one hand and immediately offers her to Ritsuka to hold.

"I'm glad you came." He presses his lips to Ritsuka's forehead. "How are things?"

Ritsuka wasn't sure why he was being handed Dorine, but he let Seimei kiss his forehead. "I'm fine. I'm glad it's over." The event of course. He wasn't sure how Seimei could manage to pretend everything was perfectly alright, but then he supposed the older brother had always been like that since the beginning. "They didn't hurt you, did they?"

The hedgehog doesn't hiss in Ritsuka's hands and starts licking him in an attempt to get his scent. She has missed him and Seimei knows that they haven't seen each other in sometime.

"No, I did fine during this event for once." Seimei has had far more practice in it than his younger brother. He's older after all and involved in things that are complicated. "Did you stay with Soubi after his alert on the network?"

Seimei uses the blonde's name for the first time in a quite long time. Partially by instinct and in an attempt to not upset Ritsuka anymore than necessary.

He starts to pet the hedgehog, not really used to her. As much as he's taken care of her he was never fully used to the way she was. She was Seimei's pet after all.

"As much as I could." He frowned, looking down at Dorine. It was the truth ... mostly. He stayed with Soubi till he was taken by the Major. "Did the - Hibari, take care of you?" He kept away from telling him about what Hibari had said during the event. It wasn't good to upset Seimei after all.

Unfortunately Seimei is onto you Ritsuka and your avoidance. He can see the rest of the truth you're hiding.

"And where were you when you weren't with him? No, Hibari didn't take care of me. That's not his job, it's mine." Seimei's ears flatten a bit in annoyance. He doesn't like being taken care of by anyone. Even his own fighter would be hard pressed. "I went to Hubb in order to learn how to protect myself better. I think it's worked well so far."

The boy frowned and glared at the hedgehog in his hands, "He should still ..." His words trailed off and he looked away. He didn't want to upset Seimei.

Seimei's expression changes to one of annoyance. He leans in just a little.

"Ritsuka. I know you know about Hibari's relationship with me. Yes, we are dating again and if we hadn't made a pact I would have told you first. I intended to if the truth ever came out. You found out in the wrong way and for that I am sorry. Hibari is not my fighter and I don't need to be taken care of. I wage my own wars if he's inclined to help then so be it but I will fight myself if I have to.

I also know you are hiding something and it's not hard to see. The Major was boasting during the event and no one knew where he was. You clearly were not around Soubi the entire time."

The older brother gently takes Dorine from his hands and sets her down on the ground.

"You saw the Major again didn't you?"

"It has nothing to do with that stupid stuff you and Soubi talk about all the time. If you love someone you want to protect them. That's the way it is." The boy was puffing. He had to pretend to deal with that crap at home, he didn't like people thinking that he believed it too.

He looked to the mirror in Seimei's room. It showed the two of them standing there, but that was as far from the truth as it could be. Seimei was in that man's world. How else would Ryohei have known and Ritsuka not. Because he saw Seimei more. " And I never expected to be told if you were with that man. You never told me before." There was a subtle hint of what he wasn't saying, that he wasn't important to his brother. He was trying to hide it though. "It doesn't matter what happened during the event. It's done. That's what Hubb said."
