I was surprised by my younger brother's words, SHIT! surprised is an understatement. He's just staring straight to the TV without bothering to look at me.Damnit!!
*****
I'm just resting on the couch with my limbs stretched all over. My brother came and shove himself beside my belly to make some room for his ass. I can hardly see his face but his side profile is screaming he has something to say.
I just wait for him. The TV program is on going but the presence of this baby is a lot more important than anyone, and anything.
"Phi, I think.. I might just like someone."
What did he say? I hardly grasp his words.
Like?
Uhm. The hell?
I wanted to control my facial expressions, but it seemed like I'm also having difficulty understanding my own words.
Now I know why he's not facing me.
"Ok.. and who's the unlucky girl?"
I chuckled.
Damn! I know I'm bad at acting but please, I pray this won't be the worst pretending act of mine ever.
I can't hide my worries for my brother. I mean, he won't tell me if he's not serious, right? I never want to see him hurt. No matter what.
"Phi.... He's not an unlucky girl... He's.. an unlucky boy."
I blinked my eyes fast.
The heck. As if that would bring me back to my consciousness.
Is my brain even functioning well? It seems like it lacked oxygen.
He's? Boy?
My eyes widen!
Fuck!!?
"Baby?"
I need air.
I need my soul get back to my body.
I need...
My mind won't work. Damnit! I can't remember the last time I use my brain so maybe.. just maybe... It got damage all the way?
"Phi, I like a boy."
My brother, 16 years old. With prominent ash brown hair, sweet dimples, tantalizing eyes, plump lips and pale skin...
Likes a boy...
I'm lost.
I made sure to never leave my eyes on him just to check if he's making fun of me. But, he's just in a daze with his straight face.
Come on!
I tried to think hard, but then I realized..
I guess I really don't have to make this hard, right? If it's for my brother.. then.. I definitely have an answer..
"You know you're the most important person in my life, right? And let me make this clear first and foremost.."
I sighed deeply,
"That won't change the fact even if you like a boy or a girl, right? Your phi will still and always be the phi who never leave your side no matter what."
He lowered his head. This is the only movement he made since he sat on the couch.
I slowly pat his back.
And he whispered a very soft and loving,
"Thank you."
*******
I said those honest and truthful words to him but there is also another thing, my baby brother liking a boy, won't also change the fact that, I won't twist the neck of anyone who will hurt him.
Please..
I just hope whoever that moron is,
He better treat my Copter well.

I highly appreciate comments and suggestions since I just started publishing here and, I really can't figure out if there's something weird in my way of writing it.
