"Are you okay?" I asked him while trying to clean his wounds and scratches.

"I'm fine." He held my hand and smiled so I smiled back. I rested my head on his shoulder reminiscing what happened earlier.

"Bakit ganoon nalang ang galit n'ya? Bakit parang masyadong big deal sa kanya 'yon?" I asked out of the blue. I never knew Asher could be that aggressive when it comes to Mia.

"He likes her." Clint simply answered as if it wasn't a big deal. "I knew that, since Mia became one of us. Tho Mia never knew about his feelings because he kept it as a secret for years."

"That explains why." I said, tatayo na sana ako mula sa pagkakaupo nang may maalala ako. "Wait, lemme ask you something." I held his chin and made him look at my eyes. "How'd you know about him being my brother?" I just remembered he said earlier that I shouldn't punch my brother for him.

Bumuntong-hininga sya saka umayos ng upo. "Since that day you said I was your brother, I started investigating only to know that I wasn't really your brother, because it was Asher."

I smiled at him saka dumiretso sa kwarto para ibalik 'yong first aid kit na kinuha ko kanina.

"Aren't you going home yet? It's already 10." I asked him while he was sitting on the sofa.

"I'll stay in here." He said at saka kumuha ulit ng popcorn habang nanonood ng movie, I sat beside him and asked.

"What would you wear? I don't have any clothes for you." I said, he give me a 'don't worry' look before getting his backpack.

I was completely in shock when he started putting all his things in the mini table. Clothes, boxers, skin cares, toothbrush, toothpaste and all. He was ready.

"See? Nothing to worry about, babe." He kissed my cheek so I just rolled my eyes. I want him to stay here too, I must admit.

"Do you think he already told our classmates?" I asked Clint while leaning on the headboard of the bed, he was already laying beside me.

"No, I don't think so." He said. "Asher isn't like that, he may be mad but he will never spill our little secret just for his own good." Napabuntong-hininga nalang ako saka humiga na ng maayos sa kama.

"Don't think too much, goodnight love."

"Wait! Asher!" Sinubukan kong habulin si Asher habang papunta s'ya sa rooftop, mabuti nalang hindi na sya nagpahabol pa at huminto na.

"Kung magtatanong ka kung sinabi ko na ba sa mga kaklase natin, hindi. Kahit may galit ako sa inyo wala pa rin akong karapatang magasalita tungkol sa relasyon nyo. Just try to keep it a little harder so they won't know." He said without looking at me saka naglakad palayo.

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag saka hindi maiwasang mapaisip. Hindi ko lubos makuha na kapatid ko sya dahil sa totoo lang ay magkaibang-magkaiba kami. Kung ako 'yon, pinagkalat ko na yon ng walang alinlangan para lang makaganti.

Maybe, his parents made him like that. Ah, how lucky he is.
