I won't lie, I like not having a word/character limit. Missed that shit.

I'm thinking about jirosabu at all times believe me you. All the time. And it's easy to think about Jiro pining and having feelings for Saburo but wanting to be a good big bro and not act on them. And sometimes thinking about Saburo not reciprocating and thinking Jiro is disgusting is deliciously angsty. But like... the opposite. Saburo pining for Jiro and hating himself for it but the truth eventually comes out and Jiro is disgusted with Saburo. Just... absolutely revolted. And now Jiro finally has something to hold over Saburo's head, after years of Saburo being a rude little shit to him.

But then Saburo runs away from home, 'cause he's so ashamed and miserable and Jiro realizes: oh shit. I did that. Saburo's gone because of me. And he realizes that he misses Saburo?? Maybe not romantically or anything but he misses his brother and wants him home but him and Ichiro can't find him anywhere.

It doesn't help that Saburo's smart. He knows to avoid all the obvious places that Ichiro and Jiro would check. He has who knows how much money on hand, because he probably invested in crypto and cashed out before it all plummeted. Kid is rich.

But Jiro really starts to panic and he feels so bad because he's never seen Ichiro so miserable and worried and Jiro just keeps blowing up Saburo's phone begging him to come home, that he'll do anything, he'll kiss Saburo on the lips every day if that'll bring him home.

Saburo shows up on their doorstep hours later. Ichiro is so relieved, he hugs Saburo and kisses his hair and honest to God cries, and Jiro feels much the same way. He missed Saburo. He really did.

All Saburo says to him as he brushes by is "don't forget your promise".

So maybe they wind up in Saburo's room after Ichiro goes to bed and have a very awkward first kiss, followed by a less awkward second kiss, and a third, and a fourth, because Saburo really really likes kissing and there's something about how adamant and excited he is that makes Jiro realize that Saburo really has it bad. He had no idea just how much Saburo liked him, but it's obvious now that it's far beyond a simple crush.

But it's fine. A promise is a promise.

And kissing Saburo becomes the norm. When they wake up in the morning, after school, before bed. On the weekends, when Ichiro is out of the house. Sometimes out on the town, Saburo pulls Jiro into a secluded alleyway and kisses the breath out of him. It's fine, it's normal, Jiro hardly even minds it.

But then Jiro goes to some soccer... sport... retreat idk and doesn't see Saburo for a few days and realizes he misses the kissing. He misses Saburo's body pressed up against his. He misses his brother's body heat. He misses his lips. He misses running his fingers through Saburo's hair.

Well, shit. Maybe he actually likes Saburo back.

He thought about what he would do if Saburo found somebody else--somebody not related to him who he had feelings for. He asked himself if he would be happy, relieved, even, to be done with this arrangement. Any normal brother would be ecstatic, elated even, but Jiro? He found his stomach churning with jealousy.

That was a bad sign. Or a good one?

Either way, he spends the retreat coming to terms with this revelation. He had feelings for Saburo. Honest to God, reciprocated feelings. It was... kind of nice. Weird, but at least now they could... what? Be a normal couple? Maybe they could at least do a bit more than kissing.

It's weird that the very thought makes him excited.

He decides to tell Saburo when he gets home.

Except, Saburo starts avoiding him. Pushes Jiro away when Jiro tries to kiss him. Tells him shit like "not now", "I'm not in the mood", "later". Jiro can't figure out what the deal is. He winds up following Saburo around the house one afternoon, while Ichiro was out.

"Seriously, what's the deal? Did I do something?"

Saburo keeps trying to brush him off, avoiding the topic. Jiro has to resort to grabbing Saburo and physically pushing him against the wall, blocking him in with his arms.

"Cut the bullshit. What's going on with you?"

"Nothing."

"Then why won't you kiss me?"

"Shouldn't you be happy? I'm not forcing you to do that anymore."

"Why not?"

"Because--! Because what's the point? I'm just fooling myself thinking you'll ever like me back. I don't need pity kisses from my brother, I... it's fine. I'll just have to deal with unreciprocated feelings until I die."

Jiro kisses him. Saburo tries to shove him back, "What did I just say?? I don't need pity kisses, just--! Get off of me!"

"I'm trying to tell ya that they're not pity kisses!"

"... What?"

"I'm trying to tell you that I like you back. I realized it while on the retreat. Now would you please let me kiss you?"

"You... but you can't... what?"

Jiro sighs, "Saburo."

"No. What? You can't like me back. You... you were awful. You were disgusted. You only agreed to do this so I would come home, you don't--you don't like me back."

"Saburo."

"What are you gaining from this? You don't like me back. You can't. Things like this don't just... work out. Are you trying to torment me again?"

"Saburo."

Saburo finally stops, staring at Jiro with his eyebrows furrowed. He's studying Jiro's face, as if trying to find any hint of malice, of deception. Ultimately, he finds none.

"You really...?"

"Yes."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Oh. Can I please kiss you now?"

"Just kiss?"

Jiro raises an eyebrow with a mischievous grin, "We can do more than that, if you want."

Saburo flushes red, hiding a smile behind his hand, "Heh. I'd like that."

Jiro snorts, grabbing Saburo's hand, "First things first."

He leans in, kissing Saburo like he never had before, pouring every ounce of love and adoration he could into it. Of course he'd kissed Saburo before, too many times to count, but this time was so different. So much more emotionally charged. So much more heated, as they grabbed at each other with a newfound desperation, lips smacking, teeth clashing, tongues slotted together in a way that should've been disgusting but felt so right.

He hardly realized he picked up Saburo until he felt his brother's heels dig into his back, and he's stumbling upstairs like his ass is on fire, and nearly kicks his bedroom door off its hinges.

He drops Saburo onto his bed and thinks, 'It's a good thing I have condoms.'

rooster or hen (SabuJiro): Saburo walks in on Jiro as he’s(?) having a self-exploratory moment. Saburo then navigates it with all the grace of a headless hen.
