Work Text:
Kim Roksu or now known as Roksu Henituse was born as the eldest child of Deruth Henituse and Jour Henituse.
Roksu panics inside that he got turned into a baby as he remembers that he just slept in his library and more panicking as he realises that he was the son of the Henituse couple where he remembers from what he read in the book called “The Birth of a Hero” that the so called “Trash” who is a minor villain in the story is in this family.
‘Fuck me’ Roksu says in his thoughts.
It should be Cale Henituse as the eldest child and Roksu wonders what happened to him, this world and everything really. Also definitely didn’t want this at all.
Roksu groans at this but he’ll just go with the flow as his parents are cooing at him too much as he’s still a toddler right now and the old butler that Cale Henituse has is so scary because of his smile making him flinch and sob.
Then everyone else just comforts Roksu, even the old butler who is actually worried and even thought that it’s his fault making him like this. Which is true in Roksu’s opinion.
But then again, Roksu really likes Ron a lot because he’s so reliable…well until he left Cale. Which is understandable but Ron should’ve just told Cale that he’s leaving.
Roksu wonders what Cale feels about this, but heck Cale isn’t born yet and he definitely doesn’t know if he’s gonna exist in this world.
As Roksu is now 7 years old, he thinks as he looks at the wall while Ron is watching him curiously on what he’s doing.
“Oh, I got it!” Roksu covers his mouth as he accidentally blurts his thoughts out loud.
“Fuck-”
“Young Master, don’t use that word please” Roksu flinches as he realises that Ron is still here.
“Sorry” Roksu apologises as he stands up to go to his parents room or office if they weren’t there while Ron is thinking whose servant is cursing while Roksu is in sight and “scolds” them from it.
“Ron Ron, can we go to mother and father?” Roksu asks, making Ron break out of his thoughts.
“Of course young master” They silently go to the bedroom where the Count and Countess is but as they walk the hallway going to the bedroom, Ron immediately covers Roksu’s ears and hurriedly goes back to his bedroom.
Roksu only heard a single sound that he didn’t think he would hear from his mother…
‘Damn…they’re having sex’ He looks at Ron who is still smiling but he can see that he was a bit nervous because of the noise.
Roksu being an adult inside of a 7 year old child. He wonders what will happen if he asks just for fun. Smirking at the thought before tugging Ron’s sleeve.
“Ron…” Ron looks at him and waits for him to continue.
“What’s that noise?” Ron flinches and clicks his tongue making Roksu blink at his reaction.
“Ron?”
“Ahem, what noise are you talking about Young Master?”
‘Hoo, he’s dodging the question now’
“Mom’s scream, do you think she got hurt?” Roksu observes Ron and sees he’s slightly sweating at his innocent question even though he’s acting.
“...I don’t think so Young Master, oh look, it’s your nap time now. Let’s go to your room, okay?”
‘Damn, he’s pretty talkative when he’s panicking. Nonetheless, he’s pretty good on his composure’ Roksu gives Ron a long look before nodding as he’s actually pretty tired at this time of hour.
“Okay” Ron nods and leads him to his room.
But then…
“Aahh~” Ron immediately closes Roksu’s ears, hoping he didn’t hear that.
Roksu definitely heard that.
‘I didn’t know Mom was this loud! Is she alright though? Did Dad wreck her up or what?’ Thinking about it, makes him a bit worried for his mother.
“Ron—woah!” Ron unexpectedly carries him and runs to his room as he finally notices that the noises are getting louder and banging on the door too.
‘They’re really wild’ Roksu thought as Ron entered his room and put him down to bed.
“Nap time” Ron says and Roksu didn’t complain. He lies down on the bed with his fluffy pillow and Ron pats his back until he falls asleep which is nice.
As Roksu sleeps soundly, Ron quietly leaves the room and asks the mage in the estate to apply a noise blocker barrier in Roksu’s room.
Then, Ron goes to the bedroom and still hears the noises. He wants to kick it so badly to make them stop but doesn't because he is a servant.
He knocks instead.
“Count, Countess, I’m sorry for interrupting your session but please keep it down for Young Master Roksu. He heard it while going to your room” He said to them, the door blocking the couple’s reaction.
“Y-Yes” A response is heard from the two even though it’s a bit raspy now because of the session they were doing.
“Good, I’ll leave now so you can continue your session” Ron says before leaving the area and telling the other servants not to let the Young Master go near the room, which they oblige.
Ron checks Roksu if he’s still sleeping and he is not surprised that he is indeed still sleeping because Roksu likes to sleep a lot when Ron observes him.
Then Ron goes to the kitchen to see his son who's apprenticing to be a chef.
Later, the Count and the Countess finally stopped at almost sunrise and now sleeping, satisfied with their own big session.
The next day comes, the family eats breakfast together peacefully until Roksu asks something, making everyone stiff.
“Mom, when will my baby sibling be born?” Roksu asks innocently but deep down, he just wants to tease his parents about their noisy session that it actually kept him awake, if only Ron didn’t let him nap so he can sleep deeply later that night and no, the noise blocker barrier didn’t work because the mage failed many times until his mana ran out which is kinda embarrassing.
*clang*
Jour drops her utensil and starts shaking, her face shocked in horror.
“Mom?” Jour immediately gets a grip of herself to respond.
“Y-Yes dear?” She shakily smiles and tries to signal Deruth to help her but unfortunately Deruth faints after Roksu asks that.
“This fool—”
“Oh right, Mom you were screaming in your room—?” Roksu looks up to see who covered his mouth and it’s Ron.
Jour silently screams as she covers her face with her hands and desperately kicking Deruth’s leg to wake up.
*Deruth.exe is now running*
“Huh!? W-wha?” Deruth looks at Jour who’s about to cry from this situation and she looks at him as well.
Then she makes a neck slice…Deruth gulps hard as he knows he fucked up.
Roksu noticing his Mother’s gesture, he prays for his Father for the first time in his life.
“Roksu, my dear” Jour calls him and Roksu looks at her smiling…in a bad way.
“Y-Yes, Mom?” ‘Shit’ Roksu cursed himself as he stuttered.
“Can you go to the garden? You can play with Vicross too if you want. Is that okay with you, Ron?” Ron nods at Jour and Jour looks at Roksu again for his response.
“...Okay” Roksu says nervously.
“Go on then” Roksu hurriedly leaves the room with Ron and gives his parents a wave of bye before leaving.
After Roksu is out of sight, Jour turns to look at the nervous Deruth.
“Deruth” Deruth flinches and slowly looks at Jour.
Jour is smiling menacingly and Deruth just prays to any god that is watching them right now, will somehow save him from the wrath of his wife.
After some time, Roksu sees his father limping and all beaten up.
“...Father” Roksu calls, making Deruth flinch and shakily look at him.
“Y-Yes, son?”
“You okay?” Roksu asks but he can clearly see that his father is not okay at all.
“Of course! I feel fi—”
*Crack*
“...”
“...”
The two were silent as they heard something crack.
It was not a good crack at all.
‘That’s definitely a back crack’ Roksu thinks and pats his father’s back to make sure that it was his back cracking.
*Crack*
Roksu sees Deruth shaking and tearing up after patting his back, he tells a servant that’s near them coincidentally to get a healer.
“I-I’m really fine Roksu—aahh!” Roksu pats his back again to make his father stop talking nonsense.
His father made a full recovery after the healer healed him.
After some weeks, Jour, his mother visits him during lunchtime.
“Hm? Oh, Good afternoon Mother” Roksu greets Jour and hurriedly goes to her to give her a hug then get a kiss on the forehead from her as a response.
“Good afternoon dear, are you free at this time?” Jour asks softly.
“Oh yes, is there something wrong mother?” Jour shakes her head.
“Not at all. I’m actually here to talk to you and your father about something. Let’s go to the garden” Jour holds Roksu’s hand gently and proceeds to go to the garden, where Deruth is already there waiting for them.
They chat and eat snacks for a while until Jour finally says something that she was supposed to tell them.
“I’m pregnant” She says and everyone immediately stops in place and looks at her.
The tea continued to pour as one of the maids in the area stopped working, making the tea overflow in the cup.
Roksu finally realising it, he calls the maid and tugging her sleeve to make her get a grip which worked and the maid, embarrassed, immediately cleaned up and left hurriedly to tell the others.
After that, Roksu is actually celebrating that he’s going to be an older brother but he’s hoping that it’s Cale because he actually kinda liked him when he read the novel.
“Finally” Roksu mumbles but Jour hears it and chuckles before putting him on her lap and giving him a big kiss on the cheek.
“You’re really excited to be a big brother don’t you, Roksu?” Roksu flinches as his mother catches him getting excited but nods anyway as it is true.
Now that Roksu thinks about it, he wonders what happened to his father.
“Da—” He stops speaking as he looks at his father who fainted again.
The mother and son can’t help but sigh at him.

After 9 months, Jour finally gave birth to a boy and named him Cale.
Roksu finally visits them and immediately but silently cooes at how adorable his little brother is right now.
Jour sees that chuckles and lets him sit besides her to see Cale more.
“Cale is so cute right, Roksu?” Roksu nods while staring at Cale.
Roksu didn’t think that he’s so in joy on having a little brother at all honestly. The only plan he thought is just to have Cale so he doesn’t get beat up by Choi Han.
He hates pain alright, don’t blame him.
But, seeing Cale right now makes him question things.
He wants to protect this cute little brother of his for the rest of his life, even his dream as a slacker.
His brother is so damn adorable!
After that, Roksu keeps babbling with Ron and Vicross, heck even the animals outside on how cute his baby brother is.
That’s the start of Roksu being a special type of brother.
“Come on, Cale. You can do it.” Roksu said to his little brother who is now 5 months old.
“Uggh” Cale tries to sit up without any support, but Roksu’s hands keeps shaking to just help him.
“Roksu” Jour calls as she looks at Roksu, almost helping Cale sit up.
Roksu groans of course but eventually Cale finally sits up and everyone cheers.
“Good job, Cale!” Deruth said while holding a crystal ball to record this event.
“Ss…ss” Everyone stops as Cale is about to say something and is very excited about it.
Everyone in the family is hoping that Cale will say their names.
“SUSU!” Cale finally lets out his first word.
“...Susu?” Confused but Cale points out who this “Susu” is.
It’s Roksu.
“Susu!” Roksu stopped working and thought that this was the best thing he had experienced as a brother.
“Yeah! I’m Susu!” Roksu is so overjoyed that he breaks his composure as a cool brother in front of Cale.
Everyone can’t help but laugh.
__________
“Cale~” Jour playfully calls Cale as he runs away to his room. Cale is currently 3 years old and right now, he and his mother are playing.
That’s what Jour thinks but Cale thought that she’s going to take him and put him in the bed because right now, it’s nap time.
Cale doesn’t wanna nap.
Cale wants to play!
“Come on sweety, you need to take your nap time”
“Nu!...Su!” Cale sees his big brother and runs to him.
“Hm? Cale, you’re supposed to be napping at this time—”
“Nooooo! Don’t wanna!” Cale having a tantrum in mid run trips and his face touches the floor.
“...” Roksu and Jour were silent until Cale finally cried loudly.
“Are you okay, Cale!?” Roksu shouts as he goes to his little brother along with his mother.
“Waaah!” Roksu panics as Jour assures that Cale is fine and it’s normal.
Well Roksu thinks it’s not at all.
He tells his mother that it’s not but Jour said that it is and doesn't need to worry about it as long as it's not fatal like having a twig stabbing Cale’s eye.
Roksu pales imagining that and makes him more worried. She should’ve stopped at the “not fatal” part but no, his mother really gave him an example of “fatal”.
“Roksu?” Jour looks at him worried while caressing Cale who’s now sobbing.
“Mother…”
“Yeah?”
“Please don’t give an example with Cale, from now on”
“Eh? But I thought I should give you that so you can know” Confused and doesn’t think that the example she gave is gorey.
Silent, Roksu finally gave in and went teary, making Jour panic and apologising to him for making that example.
As years go by, Roksu notices that Cale keeps tripping even when no objects are blocking his way.
Cale, his little brother is clumsy…too clumsy.
He remembers every clumsiness Cale has done, thanks to his record.
Cale trips on air and falls on the floor again while following Roksu.
Cale is trying to help set up for an event, and the vase falls and shatters then Cale almost falls on it because Ron was there in time.
He falls on the fountain after shopping.
Almost falls from the balcony making him prohibited until someone is with him.
Falls on thorny bushes making the servants remove it.
Hitting the corner of the desks that made everyone put on rubber.
After seeing so many events of Cale being so clumsy. Roksu levelled up his protectiveness to his little brother.
Right now, Roksu needs to be with Cale all the time because…
Cale is now 18, indicating the story of the novel named “The Birth of A Hero” starts now.
“Hyung, can you let me drink wine? Please? I really want to drink right now”
“No” Cale sulks as Roksu holds his hand as they walk through the territory.
Unfortunately, Roksu finally knows why Cale was being trash in the novel.
Their mother died and Deruth remarried. Roksu was disappointed in him, even angry at one point when he didn’t even tell them that he’s been seeing someone while they were still grieving.
But, the main reason is that Cale did it for his stepmom and step brother, tarnishing his own reputation.
Which is an idiotic move to be honest but Cale was still a child back then and doesn’t know very much.
That’s why, him. Roksu will not let Cale act like this again…Even though he failed to stop Cale drinking wine at 15 years old but still.
He can prevent it and have a slacker life with his little brother.
_______________
Everything is going so well, why did this happen in the middle of a preparation for the ambush on their family territory?
“Cale!” Roksu calls his little brother with worry. He got distracted on the preparation that he didn’t notice Cale ran off to somewhere.
If some son of a bitch his little brother, he will not hesitate to attack with his ancient powers.
“Cale! Where are you!?” Roksu looks for him in the forest with the help of Raon, a baby dragon he saved some time ago.
“Human! I found Clumsy Human!”
“Where!?” Raon teleports with him to the location where he found him.
Then Roksu sees Cale on the ground, shaking and not getting up.
“Ah” Someone made a familiar sound and looked up to see them.
“...”
It’s White Star.
“YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH!” He yells making Raon and Cale flinch on his outburst.
“OI, HE FELL DOWN BY HIMSELF! IT’S NOT MY FAULT YOU FUCKING BROCON—SHIT!” Roksu activates his thunderbolts that make everyone see in the distance continuously.
White Star immediately retreats, making Roksu even more angry.
“H-Hyung?”
“H-Human?”
Roksu looks at the two who are hugging each other. Unlike Raon who’s a bit understandable to calm down on his own, Roksu definitely worries Cale.
“I’m sorry Cale. Did you get scared? Are you hurt?” Roksu says worriedly while checking his body for injuries.
“A-A bit” Hearing that, Roksu immediately hugs him to calm him down.
“Hyung is sorry for scaring you. I was too worried because you suddenly disappeared and that thing hurted you”
“I’m sorry” Cale apologies because he just wants to help his hyung and wanders through the forest for hiding spots, traps, and such as he has a knack for mapping. Until White Star sees him and he tries to run but trips.
He gets up but trips again.
Again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
Cale didn’t even bother getting up right now and just stayed in that position because he was too embarrassed to even look at White Star’s reaction.
The White Star had no words as he saw the little brother of his enemy keep falling from nothing.
Cale was a complete opposite of Roksu.
White Star thought that it was kinda cute too.
Until that son of a bitch of a brother came and almost ended him that he needed to retreat.
“Clumsy Human, if you really want to wander I’ll join you” Raon offers as he flew around the siblings.
“Really?”
“Yeah! Don’t worry Human, I’ll protect Clumsy Human for you!”
“Thank you Raon” Roksu carries Cale back home with Raon and continues the preparation.
Roksu definitely needs some assistance in protecting and taking care of Cale.
