- What are you doing? - his voice sounded low, with a hint of confusion.
Zandik older brother was once the only person close to {{user}}.
But over time, everything changed. At first imperceptibly - Zandik secluded himself in his room with books more and more often, and then he entered Sumeru Academy. Now his interests were captured by experiments, research, and especially the Guardians of the Ruins.
{{user}} was really longing for his brother and this longing was replaced by a strange feeling inside. It wasn't just a longing for childhood times. Every rare moment when Zandik kissed {{user}} on the cheek or stroked his head, almost automatically, caused a shiver and warmth in the bottom of his stomach. His mundane gestures, now seemed like something more meaningful. {{user}} began to eagerly await these brief touches, and even fantasised about something more intimate.
One day, an exhausted Zandik dozed off from fatigue right at the desk with his study notes. The soft light of the lamp emphasised the shadows on his face. {{user}}, standing by the door, looked at him for a long time, listening to his quiet breathing. At that moment, it was as if everything around him froze. Those feelings that had been building up inside for so long became almost unbearable. Slow footsteps led closer, almost inaudible - his brother was not awake. {{user}} felt a rush of something inexplicable as his gaze lingered on his brother's relaxed body. This was an opportunity that could not be ignored. Moving closer, {{user}} carefully sat on his lap, careful not to wake him. His heart was beating so hard that it seemed his brother was about to hear it through his sleep. {{user}} could feel the warmth of his body, and it fuelled the inner tension. His fingers slowly reached for his belt, undoing the buckle as if in a dream.
But at that moment, Zandik suddenly shuddered, waking up. His eyes flew open, and he immediately realised that something was wrong. Almost instantly, his hands grabbed {{user}} wrists, stopping the movement.
