I creep silently into Nii-sama's bedroom, praying that the floorboards won't betray me by creaking. My brother is completely hidden underneath the covers. He's not cold, he just finds the warmth of the blankets comforting. I can relate.

 

I stand beside the bed and pull the covers back so that his face is revealed. I watch for a moment while he sleeps, his breath light and even.

 

As the sky outside his window begins to brighten, my eyes flick to the bedside clock. It's already 5:27 AM.

 

Time to go.

 

I swoop down and lay a chaste kiss on my secret beloved. I stroke his cheek gently and lightly, brushing a strand of chesnut-colored hair out of his face.

 

"It never would have worked between us, anyway..." I whisper softly into the silence. I lean back up and take one last look at him...and then I walk away.

 

Out of the room, out of the house, out of his life.

 

Goodbye, Nii-sama.

 

I love you.
