I got motivated to write another chapter.

… And probably will get a few more inspiration from time to time. I'll still label this as complete, but if something strikes me, then there will be an update.

~Sei Nii-sama!~

At fifteen, young as he may be, Akashi Seijuro already is exemplary at everything he does. Studies, Basketball,Helping out at their family business and most of all, being a dotting older brother to his younger sibling.

Just like how many times had he cancelled practice just because Tetsuya got excellent grades and he wanted to treat him for a job well done? Or what about those times where he's got sleepless nights tending to his brother because his fever just won't go down and he won't entrust his brother's well being to other people? What about those times wherein Tetsuya would knock on his door in the middle of the night telling him he just had a nightmare and cannot sleep and Seijuro would push his assignments and projects aside, motion for his brother to settle on his bed and read him bedtime stories until he peacefully would fell asleep?

Or what about those days he would watch over' his brother's camping trip with the rest of the Miracles. Or making sure his brother's school cafeteria only serves healthy and nutritious food on their menu. Or helping his brother with his homework.

Or basically everything he can do to make sure of his brother's well-being.

For him, Tetsuya always comes first before anything else even when it comes to himself.

However, as much as he feared accidentally doing so, there are moments where he would actually forgot how much his younger brother needed him.

And today is one of those days.

...iOiOiOiOiOi...

"Sei-nii hates me!" Tetsuya's lips trembled and tears threatened to cascade down his pale cheeks. Kise immediately knelt down to look at the younger boy in the eye.

"No! of course not -ssu! Akashichii will never hate you, he loves you real lots" Kise tried his best to calm the boy as he tried to spot a certain redhead amongst the mass of people. Today is Tetsuya's piano recital and the teal head child, wanting to really impress his older brother had been practicing so hard to make sure he'll be able to perform smoothly and perfectly. Just like how his Sei-nii would do it with basically, everything.

"But why isn't he here then?" Tetsuya asked "He promised to be here. I want Sei-nii to watch and hear me play"

"And we are sure he'll be proud to hear your music" Midorima stated as he held his phone on one ear, trying to reach their infamous captain. A few steps from where he is stood Akashi Shiori, also trying to reach her older son. Shiori sighed, wondering what happened to Seijuro knowing that his son won't dare miss anything that involves importance to his younger brother's life. In all honesty, Seijuro is more hands on in taking care of Tetsuya than she had been which she actually is thankful for knowing how busy she and her husband had been this past few years and knowing that her sons still have each other to spend some time with takes some parts of uneasiness on her. It'd still be nice to find some more quality time for her kids though.

That's it. Tonight, she'll have some serious talk with her husband.

For now, time to attend to her youngest.

"Tetsuya, big brother will show up, we'll just have to wait a little longer. Tetsuya can be patient, right?"

"Tetsuya will try" Shiori smiled at her son. "That's my good little boy"

"Does mini Akachin want a treat? Mini Akachin likes Vanilla, right?" Murasakibara offered the vanilla flavored maiubo in his hand. To their surprise, the younger Akashi turned the offered snack down.

"No! I don't like that! I want Sei-nii here!" Tetsuya slumped down the floor, sobbing. Seems like the idea of being patient for too long is too much for him to handle now that it involves his older brother's absence, he does not act that way on other occasions after all. His perfectly ironed, mini tux even already having folds and creases on it.

"Ah, I'm sure Akashichii is already in his way. He wouldn't miss seeing you play the piano"

"He'll be here? You're not lying?" The hopeful look from the younger Akashi immediately had everyone reassuring them that yes, his older will be there. Even if, at this point in time, they aren't sure themselves.

"Of course, Tetsu. For him, you'll always be his first priority" Aomine lightly patted the boy's head. "So don't cry now, Okay?"

"...Okay"

Shiori wiped her son's tears with her hands while sending thankful glances to her older son's friends. "Now cheer up, okay? Sei-nii won't be happy if he sees you crying. Do you want big brother to worry?"

"No. Tetsuya doesn't like that"

"Exactly, so smile?" Shiori prompted her son for a chin up until the younger child did smile.

"No answer yet?" Aomine mouted towards Midorima. The megane shook his head, dialing their captain's number for the umpteenth time. "It's still just ringing, I'll go somewhere he can hear me clearer in case he finally answers"

"Go. We'll take care of Tetsu"

...iOiOiOiOiOi...

"Where are you?"

"Library. Exams are next week, Shintaro"

"I know that but what time are you coming here? Why are you still even in the library in the first place?"

"Coming to where?"

"The stadium. Today is your brother's piano recital. Have you forgotten?" Akashi's eyes widened with realization.

Today is his brother's recital.

He promised to be there to watch and cheer for him.

How could he have forgotten something so important? Akashi Seijuro felt really stupid.

"I'll be there in 20 minutes"

"Hurry up, your brother's recital starts in half an hour and..." Midorima paused to make sure the other was listening. "... he's been really upset, thinking that you won't be there for him so better make it up to him"

"I already know that Shintaro" Akashi responded as he quickly gathered his things. "I'll call back when I'm near"

...iOiOiOiOiOi...

"You came!" Tetsuya beamed at his older brother as he run fast towards the other and demanded to be carried. Akashi, never someone who can turn down his brother, picked Tetsuya up and ruffled his hair. "I thought you won't be here"

"Of course, I'll always be there for Tetsuya" The redhead put his brother down before facing him and having finally noticed the red tints on his eyes. "Big brother is sorry for having to make Tetsuya wait. I won't do it ever again, okay?"

Tetsuya held up his right pinkie. "I saw my classmates do this. It means you are going to make a promise and do it. Can Sei-nii and I do it too?"

Seijuro held his own pinkie finger up. Tetsuya beamed at his brother before having their pinkies joined together and making a promise. Shiori looked at her two sons with evident fondness while the rest of the miracles simply smiled at the interaction between the two.

"Ah!~ I really want a brother like mini Akashichii! This is so unfair-ssu"

"I feel you, bro" Aomine shared the blond's sentiments.

"Not that I care but having the lad as a brother is actually pretty okay" Midorima made his comment as he pretended to fix his glasses.

"I don't mind sharing sweets with mini Akachin if he is my brother"

Akashi Seijuro twitched at his friend's comments and pulled his brother closer to him. No one gets his precious brother away from him, get it? Get it?

Jealous overprotective older brother much? Shiori giggled at his older son's antics.

"I don't mind being everyone's brother!"

That sentence had everyone staring back at the young bluenette.

"Really, Tetsu?"

"Hai! It would be really cool that Tetsuya will have the coolest big brothers in the whole wide universe!" The boy widened his arms for emphasis. The four, with a little hesitation from Midorima due to his Tsundere tendencies,immediately battled each other in an attempt to hug the boy. Akashi, having immediately predicted what would happen immediately had his brother out of harm's way. Tetsuya blinked as his older brother figures fell on top of each other.

"Ow. I think my fingernail is broken-ssu!" Kise whined as he attempted to push Murasakibara and the others away from him.

"Shut it, Kise. My junior hurts, I might not be able to produce future mini Daikis"

"As if someone would attempt to even date you. Now get of off me, you three idiots. You three are tarnishing my lucky items"

"But I don't feel like I'm being crushed" Murasakibara made his comment. "And I'm out of snacks"

"That's because you crushed us three. Now get up because you're heavy as hell"

"I don't want too, Minechin"

"But Murasakibarachii! I need to tend to my broken fingernail!"

"Don't care, Kisechin"

"Cruel-ssu"

"Sei-nii, are they okay?" Tetsuya asked eyeing the four. Akashi fixed his brother's hair with his hands. "They are fine. Don't worry much about them. Are you ready for your performance?"

"Hai! I practiced really, really hard because I want to make Sei-nii happy"

"Really? Why do you want me to be happy?"

"Of course" The younger brother gave his sibling a quick hug. "It's because Sei-nii is always there for me and I want to say thank you that's why I'm really, really happy that you are here"

"I'm sure you'll do great" Akashi smiled at his brother. "and no matter what happens, I'll always be proud of you"

And as predicted, Tetsuya did great.

How could you forget something so important, Akashi Seijuro!? XD
