Beastly

A beast named ‘Cyrus’ lives in that mansion.

He possesses the brilliance of a full moon resembling his father’s features and a unique decadence. His personality stands out distinctively—particularly his notably poor social skills.

The one he loved most was none other than his older brother, Cecil.

Cecil differed greatly from Cyrus.
His spotlessly clear and clean beauty, combined with his characteristically gentle and attentive personality, made him kind to everyone, earning him the nickname “everyone’s lover.”

Cyrus loved his brother so intensely he could barely contain it.
He adored everything—his gentle voice, his soft and still short limbs, his jet-black hair that seemed cold to the touch.

Something needed to be done. A measure to prevent anything from carelessly stealing Cecil’s attention.

So what should he do now?
No matter what, since he was someone precious to Cecil, he needed to stake himself to ensure Cecil’s gaze never strayed.

Brother, if you look away even after this, I won’t let it slide.

“Brother, why do you cry so easily?”
“Because you’re doing strange things…”
“Did you dislike it?”

The voice tinged with laughter asked. Dislike it… Could something like this be expressed as like or dislike?
This pleasure transcended such simple preferences.
It was a climax that made one momentarily lose breath.

But when questioning whether that sensation brought pleasure or not, the answer stood clearly determined.

“…I didn’t dislike it.”

When Cecil, after brief hesitation, answered honestly, Cyrus smiled brightly.
He pressed his lips to his brother’s cheek in apparent good spirits and held Cecil closer.

“Me too, I didn’t dislike it either. I liked it.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really.”

Only after hearing his younger brother liked it did Cecil wear a faint smile.
Cyrus pressed his forehead against his brother’s and sighed softly.

“Brother, I like you.”
“Me too.”

When he says he likes him, the answer returns naturally.
But this answer would likely apply to their fathers and to Alesia as well.
Cyrus recognized this fact well and wore a hazy smile.
