Brotherly Bond

This is a gift for my beloved yuni  

(Aldric is the older one, on top, the human bishie. Lou is the kemonomimi fox,
the youngest brother. Kei is the kemonomimi snow leopard.)

Lou was coming back home for lunch after a hot morning at school. He had sports
classes on Wednesday morning and this semester was about gymnastics. Since
Lou was quite flexible he was really enjoying it and had the best marks of all. The
other students were always very impressed and amazed by what he was able to
do with his so tiny and thin body. He could bend in all kind of ways, bend backwards,
forwards, do all kind of splits. He was such a wonder for the teachers, who were
always trying to give him harder and harder exercises to see where he would stop.
But they would always end being even more impressed and dazed by his abilities.
“He has no limits.”, a teacher said once. Lou seemed to be able to fold infinitely. 

Today was a super sunny day. It was even too hot outside and Lou wanted to go
to the swimming pool with Kei, who always loved a lot water. “Maybe we could go
all together.”, Lou thought while getting off the bus parked in front of the bus
shelter. Wednesday afternoons were free so Lou was coming back home for lunch
and then would be free to do whatever he would like. For Kei, today was a day off,
and since Aldric was working at home he could take a day off whenever he
wanted to. 

Lou entered the house, letting a bit of hot air coming in with him, closed the door
behind him, put his backpack in the hall next to the shoe cabinet, took off his t-shirt
and went to the kitchen. The temperature there was a bit cooler than in all the other
rooms. Lou sat on the cold floor, his legs apart, all flat on the white tiles. He bent
forward to lie his bare chest on the floor, between his legs. It was nicer this way,
cooler than outside and way more pleasant. It was quite suffocating under the sun.
Lou was enjoying some fresh air, with a faint smell of jasmine, coming from Aldric's
perfume diffuser he put on the bookshelf in the living room. That was a new device
he bought last week. It would work with water and special perfumes or essential oils.
Aldric had a very sharp sense of smell and couldn't bear malodors. Flower and fruit
scents were fresh and very pleasant to him. Kei and Lou were enjoying it a lot too.
It would always smell good in the entire house.

“Oh! Hi there!”, Aldric welcomed, with a bright smile, entering the kitchen from the
back door. “Are you hungry?”, he asked Lou who was still lying on the floor. 

“Yeah... but I want something fresh, please.”, the cute fox replied, his eyes half closed. 

“Is a salad with peppers, olives, onions, cheery tomatoes and raw bluefin tuna is okay?”

“Ooh yes! Raw bluefin tuna! Sounds so yummy!”

Aldric was preparing the meal while Lou was stretching a bit, sitting on the cold floor.
He was doing a frontal split when two warm and wide hands rested on his back,
pushing him slowly forward. His forehead touched the ground and then his chest and
belly went all flat on the tiles.

“Ooh you had sports this morning, right?”, Kei remembered, his hands still on Lou's
back. “That's why you don't even need any warm ups. Your shoulders are tensed though.”

He started massaging Lou's back, softly first, and then he accentuated the pressure,
making circles with his thumbs on the shoulder blades. His fingers ran from the
shoulders to the middle of the backbone to roll up to the neck. 

“How does it feel? Seems like it's getting softer.”, Kei noticed, rolling his thumbs on the
white and supple skin.

“Mmm yeah. Feels great...”, Lou replied, half asleep. 

Kei kept massaging his little brother's back for a few more minutes, waiting for lunch to
be ready. 

“Time to eat!”, Aldric told to his two younger brothers, both sitting on the kitchen's floor. 

He was staring at Kei and Lou with a contemplative look for a few seconds and then took
a picture with his mobile. The scene was too cute and funny not to take a great shot of it. 

During lunch, Lou asked if the three of them could all go to the swimming pool. “Since
the weather is so hot it would be great to go to the pool and have some fun in the water.”,
Lou explained. Kei was delighted by such a great idea. Aldric also loved water a lot and
agreed to go. So after lunch they all went to the swimming pool in town. They spent the
entire afternoon over there, in this Aquatic Centre that Kei loved so much. He would go
there almost everyday to swim and train. Aldric would also come along from time to time
to train a bit and keep his body in a good shape. 

It was already pretty late and time for the three brothers to go back home. On the road
they stopped at a greengrocer to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables for dinner. They
were not really hungry because of the heat and they just wanted something cold and
light. Lou asked for some ice creams so Aldric bought a few for dessert. Once home they
had dinner and talked about the nice day they had spent together. It surely had been a
really cool day for the three of them and they would probably do it again next week. 

Aldric stood up, cleaned the table and went to the living room. He pushed on the button
of the perfume diffuser and then sat on the large yellow pouffe to relax. Lou came in the
room, on tip toes. 

“Can I sit with you?”, he quietly asked to his big brother, who made a sign of the hand
to tell him to come. 

Lou climbed on the pouffe, standing on top of Aldric, who spread his legs so the kid
could sit comfortably in between. The child was facing his brother for a few seconds and
then turned around. Aldric smile, hugged him and kissed his back. 

“You've got one of an adorable butt, Lou!”, Aldric teased his little brother, squeezing his
waist tight and then kissed his butt. 

“Cut it out!”, Lou exclaimed, a bit embarrassed. “I wanna sit now!”

“Ha ha! Sure cutie.”, Aldric replied with a sweet voice, an amused smile on his face. 

Lou bent his back backwards to lie his chest on the pouffe between Aldric's legs. The big
brother grabbed the kid's shoulders to make him bend further and fold in half, his thighs
resting on his back and his legs coming in front of him. Lou put his hands on his brother's
laps to make himself more comfortable. 

“Are you at ease?”, Aldric asked, still holding his younger brother's shoulders. 

“Yes! That's prefect!”, Lou replied with a cute smile.

Kei walked in the room at the same moment. He took the remote on the coffee table and
turned on the television. He sat in front of Aldric and Lou, on the floor, and lay his back on
the pouffe. 

“You can put your feet on my shoulders if you want.”, Kei told to Lou who didn't wait to
do it. 

Kei tickled his little brother's feet for a few minutes while watching the movie. Lou always
loved it a lot and wasn't ticklish at all. Being tickled would even make him fall asleep so it
was very pleasant for him. 

The three brothers watched the TV until the movie ended and went to bed a few minutes
later, after cuddling and chatting a bit. This day had been really great, despite of the heat.
Aldric, Kei and Lou would all have a wonderful night today and sweet dreams they would
tell to each others in the morning.
