Immediately afterwards, Mitsuru closed the album, stood up and immediately took it to Daitaro, who held it while looking puzzled. “Oh?” “I'm not interested in looking at the photos but I thought it would be more helpful than the TV,” said the blue-eyed one as he saw his brother opening the album. A big smile decorated his face moments later, he seemed to be melting with what he saw. What could his brother be seeing to make him so happy? “Look, it’s you guys as babies,” Daitaro said as he showed the photos to Mitsuru, “Haha, Daiki looks adorable, don't you think?” “You know that if you call him adorable, you're calling yourself adorable, right?” “But look, Daiki already looked grumpy from such a young age. How cute!" Mitsuru raised an eyebrow at the comment. "And you?" "Huh? Well, I don't feel much looking at myself, I'm just glad I was with Daiki and you guys in the photos.” Mitsuru didn't understand the answer but decided not to pay much attention to it. When looking at the photographs, however, he realized that most of them were of his brothers and very few of him. “Don't let the favoritism show…” “You know well that if I had taken the photos, there would have been many of you all, but these were taken by our parents and probably by our uncle.” “Yes, I guess they didn't really want to take many photos after I was born.” Upon hearing this, the redhead gave him an expression of genuine concern. “It's not like that, surely things happened that didn't let them take many photos, with you they already had four babies after all” “We're not so many years apart that it justifies me not appearing in many of the photos…” Mitsuru commented without any specific tone. “…” Daitaro's expression fell, as he really didn't know what to say. It was a valid comment and he didn't have an answer that could justify it. Noticing his brother's change in attitude, Mitsuru sighed and looked away. “But it's not like I care, I'm not as childish as Daiki.” Mitsuru changed the page of the album to one where Masaru and Daiki were in a staring duel against two boys and a girl. They looked about 5-6 years old. “Oh, I remember this day,” Daitaro said. “We had gone to the park for a picnic and there a boy took off Daiki's cap. Surely you remember how angry he got? “...I don't remember, but I can get an idea” "No? Masaru joined Daiki in retrieving the cap for him and at some point, Masaru took one of the toys from one of the other boys. "So they were fighting to get the cap back in exchange for the toy." “It sounds like a really fun thing to remember. Daiki still gets angry if anyone takes his cap off outside the apartment” Mitsuru said with a smile. “He's lucky that he can wear his hat to school even though it has to be the one that represents the school.” “Yes, he loves his cap and even though he doesn't like the school cap, he prefers that to walking around without it outside the house,” Daitaro explained. “I don't understand it, but that's just how he is.” “So he did get his cap back in the end or did he need a new one?” “Well…, I remember that they threw Daiki's cap into the lake with a stone inside. In response, Masaru broke the boy's toy and went into the lake to look for his cap. "Just for the cap…?” “Are you really surprised?” the red-eyed one questioned with a smile. “Daiki had already resigned himself to losing it but Masaru entered the lake without thinking twice.” “And he got it back?” “Yes, and Daiki still has it even though it no longer fits him” Hearing that, the blond thought about this before laughing briefly. Daiki can be very cheesy, he thought. “He was very angry at Masaru for having entered the lake without thinking, but since he still has the cap, I know it meant a lot to him. Also, our parents really scolded him for doing that, they were really frightened,” the redhead explained as he turned the page. “Oh” Mitsuru saw a photo of him when he was younger in the bathtub with many frogs accompanying him. “I remember this too, you put all those frogs in the bathtub and they made us check the house to see if there were any runaway frogs. It's a mystery how you managed to get so many into the house." “I vaguely remember that, I think I should retake that photo to compare,” Mitsuru suggested, finding it funny. “Hey... Don't even think about bringing them into the apartment,” said Daitaro, not wanting to look for frogs all over the place again. “If that happened, I'm sure Masaru would have fun looking for them, you know he loves having excuses to move around.” “Mitsuru…” “I know, I know, but I can’t make any promises,” the blue-eyed one responded while sticking out his tongue. It was then that they both heard the doorbell ring. “Hey! Can you open the door?! You guys have the keys!” Masaru exclaimed from outside. Daitaro and Mitsuru searched their pockets and sure enough, they found the keys. "Coming!" Daitaro exclaimed as he now stood up. “I'm sure it will be more fun to see the photos together another time” “Whatever,” Mitsuru replied as he closed the album. He stood up and grabbed it to take it back to where he had found it. Daitaro followed his brother with his eyes and couldn't help but wonder... Had he done or said something wrong?
