Yuu Leech

Note: A bit of violence (I think) and attempted siblicide.

Yuu always believed that having younger siblings was a troublesome thing. They’d seen other creatures in the vast, wide sea with their babies whom were always whining and crying all the time that it grated their ears so much just from hearing the little things scream.

Even their friends who had younger siblings (Friends? Did they even have friends or were they just expendable minions to Yuu in the end?) always complained of them all the time. They got me in trouble this, they destroyed my stuff that. Little brat who were entitled and believed they were invincible, they said. Perhaps because of constantly hearing of this all the time, it influenced Yuu’s opinion on this matter.

Furthermore, the ocean was a really, really big place and creatures weren’t always going to show mercy to others just because their prey were babies. From the moment one was born, they’d have to fight for their survival in the Coral Sea. Some lived and some survived, that was just how it is in a fish-eat-fish world. Yuu was lucky enough to be born in a loving and protective family. They were lucky enough to be the only one to survive out of all the siblings they could have had. And as they grew older, they learnt how to protect themselves and became an expert at putting their underlings in line unless they wanted to face the consequences.

For a few years in their life, Yuu had been an only child. Until there came a pair of twins-- Yuu’s little brothers. Yuu disliked them immediately. They were small and weak. They didn’t do anything exciting and were always just floating around together. Yuu didn’t find anything exciting about them at all so they ignored them and lived as if the twins didn’t exist.

But Yuu didn’t hate them because had they truly hated their own little brothers, the twins probably wouldn’t even be alive right now…

Besides, they probably wouldn’t last long in the Coral Sea anyway.

Soon, Yuu had to go far away up on the land for their studies and usually didn’t come home for a few years. Why would they? There wasn’t anything new back home anyway.

When they did, they saw two familiar twins who had now grown up a lot. Yuu was surprised that the two were still alive but they still didn’t like them. They found out that the two were already in middle school. Floyd and Jade were their names, Yuu had relearned at the insistence of their parents but they didn’t see the point of it since they were probably going to forget it all over again.

What? They were boring, why would Yuu want to remember their names?

Mother and father were always worried about the two so they always sent Yuu out to bring them to and fro the school along with their bodyguards or whenever neither the two parents could do it. Yuu thought it was troublesome but their parents asked and it was even more troublesome to deny their request. Still, Yuu did as they were told. They sent the twins to school and picked them up whenever it was time to go home but Yuu made no move to talk or even acknowledge their existence and the twins did the same to them.

Yuu noticed that they always hung around a little octomer for some reason. The octomer was chubby and cried a lot that Yuu found him vaguely interesting because why would their little brothers follow such a crybaby? There must be something more to the story…

Still, it wasn’t enough for them to like their little brothers or even put them in their eyes.

Until that certain day, that is…

Yuu couldn’t clearly remember what had happened or what started it but they did remember grabbing one of the twins and trying to hurt him. They remembered lifting the little mer up by his neck, slowly tightening their grip on it and watched on with sadistic amusement as he struggled to break free.

Yuu knew that the other twin knew that they were much stronger and had basically zero chance at stopping them. They expected the other to go to their parents and tattle. Had the other done so, Yuu was going to use the chance to get rid of the filth in their hands. To their surprise, he didn’t. Instead, the twin rushed for them and wrapped an arm around their torso.

Yuu was confused. A hug? They were pretty sure this was a hug. Why would he hug them? Except, it wasn’t really a hug.

Their little brother just kept squeezing and squeezing and squeezing and Yuu gasped, feeling the pain on their ribs increase as it was slowly being crushed that their hold loosened on the other twin enough that he could break himself free.

Although small, the twin’s grip was surprisingly very strong. Yuu didn’t know if it was just their imagination but they heard a crack. They didn’t appreciate getting hurt. Angered, Yuu changed their target to the one who was currently crushing their torso but was stopped when the twin that got free pulled out a bottle from their backpack and threw it at Yuu as hard as he could.

The glass broke easily and the shards that cut their skin stung but whatever liquid was inside the glass bottle hurt even more. Yuu found it hard to breath, much less see when their eyes and lungs were burning with pain.

That was the extent of what Yuu could remember and then everything went black but, huh… Why did they try to hurt their little siblings anyway? Yuu wasn’t good at remembering things they didn’t find interesting but for something to lead to such a deadly encounter surely would be interesting enough for them to remember it, right?

It wasn’t a little later when everything finally settled and Yuu was getting medical treatment that they learned they broke a rib or two, courtesy of Floyd. And apparently they would blinded temporary because the potion bottle that one of the twins had thrown at him—Jade, they remembered—was something akin to a pepper spray in the human world so that explained the burning sensation in Yuu’s eyes and lungs.

A few days later and they recovered. Their parents urged them to apologize to each other and Yuu finally got to see Floyd and Jade. They had sustained but a few scratches and bruises on them but they were ultimately alright in the end. And the defiant look they gave Yuu was definitely interesting.

The twins were deadly and fun… and cute, Yuu decided as a sharp smile appeared on their face. Yuu liked them.

Alas, Yuu couldn’t stay for long because of certain reasons and also had to go back to school far away once more. Though, ever since then, they occasionally visited home whenever they could.

“Azul~” A familiar voice that Azul hadn’t heard in years pierced through the silence of his office. Just hearing the voice made Azul pale, the color draining from his face as he whipped his head up to the door that was slowly creaking opened. There, peeking between the small gap with a wide smile was a figure that had an uncanny resemblance with the Leech twins. With how terrifying the scene he was seeing, Azul would’ve probably thought he was in a horror movie. He hoped he didn’t die like he was in one.

“Ne, ne, they tried to stop me from coming here so I hope you don’t mind me knocking them out.” Yuu said as they pushed open the door wider with a smile as they dropped the hopefully still alive bodies they were carrying on their shoulders to the ground.

Azul subtly eyed the bodies and saw the rising and falling of the chests of the unconscious Octavinelle students. He held a sigh of relief. They were alive, thank the Sevens he wasn’t about to get sued.

Yuu stepped into the room, smiling sharply as the two made-eye contact. Seeing Azul frozen in his chair just made the new arrival smile wider as they stepped over the bodies and headed over to his direction.

“Azul~ You’re looking a bit unwell. Do you want a hug?”

Azul pushed his chair away and tried to back up, stuttering out a weak, “Y-Yuu! What a pleasant surprise to have you here!” Not really. His life was practically flashing before his eyes. “But, well, I’m quite busy so I’d have to pass your offer. Why don’t you go see Jade and Floyd? I’m sure you can find them somewhere in the kitchens! They’d be delighted to see you!”

Yuu, however, didn’t listen to him and instead raised their arms, ready to hug the life out of him. Literally or metaphorically doesn’t matter because it was probably going to be the same anyway.

“Azuuul!” A voice from outside called out and Azul was quick to throw Floyd under the bus. Look, under normal circumstances he wouldn’t have the need to do this. But with Yuu? It was every fish for themselves.

“Speaking of, here he is now! Floyd, someone here’s for you!” Azul said just as Floyd appeared by the door, looking into the room curiously.

“…-ute…” Yuu muttered in a low voice, eyes glinting when they saw Floyd.

Floyd frowned at the unfamiliarly familiar stranger in the room. For some reason, there was something about them that he couldn’t quite put a hand on. Just then, Jade also arrived in Azul’s office, curious as to why his brother was taking unusually long for him to report about the missing workers in Mostro Lounge before his gaze landed on the unconscious bodies on the floor (Ah, so that was were the missing workers went) and then slowly moving up to Yuu. Upon seeing their sibling, he froze in place, smile straining as he could only say one thing: “Fuck.”

It was quite an uncharacteristic thing for him to say. Jade wasn’t the type to swear much in the first place. He preferred to show airs of being a gentleman with full of manners but just enough hint of a subtle unhinged attitude on the surface but just seeing Yuu immediately broke his composure, which was understandable really.

In the end, Yuu had both the twin in each arm, ‘hugging’ them. Azul had barely been spared and he was glad to survive another day.

“Aiya~~ My little brothers are so cute~ I just want to huuuuuuug you two… until you pop!” Yuu chuckled and lightly squeezed the two.

Although it had been a long time, Azul could still vividly remember the time when they were young where Yuu would chase them to ‘lovingly hug’ them. He didn’t know what happened for the oldest Leech to become so taken in with their brothers but ever since then, Yuu had never left them alone. Yes, even Azul himself.

“Now I remember who they are…” Floyd muttered as he hung limply from Yuu’s arm, looking traumatized.

“You actually managed to get selective amnesia and forgot about Yuu for all these years?” Jade asked his twin while at the same time trying to pry Yuu’s grip on him off to no avail. “That takes a surprising amount of talent.”

Although Yuu didn’t squeeze people as hard as the way Floyd did, their ‘hug’ was still troublesome in its own rights. The only hope the twins could have at escaping was for Yuu to momentarily get bored of carrying them everywhere or if Yuu found something or someone who would pique their interest but those moments were few and far between.

Azul turned a blind eye to this and just continued with his paperwork. He’ll just temporarily assign the cooking and managing the various affairs in Mostro Lounge to someone else. An angry Leech was, after all, a dangerous Leech.
