(Your POV)
"I'm sorry I took so long," Akiro apologized rather awkwardly. "Did you have to wait for a long time?"
You blinked a few times, not giving credit of what you were seeing. Wasn't your father supposed to pick you up? Hadn't you been mentally preparing yourself for the last few minutes to face your father? So what was your brother doing here?
"(L/N)?" The nurse asked, "is everything okay? This is your brother, right?"
"Ye-Yeah," you stammered. "But, wasn't my father supposed to come pick me up?" You couldn't help but ask.
"They weren't home," she frowned. "Didn't I tell you that?"
Oh... So that was what you missed when you zoned out. Was that also the reason why Karma had asked you about your brother?
"Oh yeah," you began to slowly nod your head. "Sorry, I forgot," you chuckled nervously to hide your embarrassment.
Once you were out of school grounds, you got inside your brother's car and he began driving home.
"So..." he awkwardly cleared his throat, "you passed out..."
"Yeah..." you agreed, nodding awkwardly.
"Are you... okay?" He frowned, stealing a glance to check your face.
"I'm fine."
The both of you remained silent, not really knowing what to say. Your relationship had improved, that was for sure... but you hadn't talked since yesterday, when he told you he was moving out.
"So..." you said, chewing on the inside of your cheek, "do you know when you'll be moving out?"
"I'm not really sure... maybe a month or two..." he replied. "I have to consider quite a lot of things, you know?"
'But you aren't considering me?' You thought rather bitterly. 'Wait, no,' you scolded yourself. Now was not the time to hold a grudge.
"Did you have fun today?" You asked, although your tone was more snarky than you had anticipated.
"Uh... I guess," he frowned.
You scolded yourself once again. What was wrong with you?
After that question you had asked, the drive home was spent in silence as you listened to the radio.
Pursing your lips, you recalled your conversation with Karma. In his eyes, it wasn't right what your brother was doing and part of you couldn't help but agree with him. You were supposed to be in this together, so why was he leaving you alone with your parents? However, the other part of you disagreed. Your brother was finally getting his life back, he was finally getting to study what he wanted and you didn't want to be the one to stop him....
Once you finally arrived home, he pulled over and parked the car in the garage.
"(Y/N)," he turned off the engine, his voice unsure. "Do you... do you really think father will hate me once I leave?" He frowned, his eyes glued to the front as if he was purposely trying to avoid your gaze.
You thought about it. You weren't a hundred percent sure but as much as it hurt you to say it, it was most likely that his fear would come true. Seeing as he was giving up following your father's footsteps, you were pretty sure he would be shunned from the family.
"I... I don't know," you lied.
"I know you're lying," he sighed as he finally made eye contact with you.
His piercing, blood red eyes stared at you in silence as you couldn't help but gulp at the intensity. He could sometimes be so... intimidating. And for a moment there, you felt like it was your father staring at you.
