[Fell out of bed...? His older brother has never done that that he can remember. Something is up. It has to be. That laugh wouldn't be so weak if he'd actually fallen out of bed; something like that would be the kind of thing that Kouyuki might laugh off, but it would be amused at the situation. It wouldn't sound forced.
Kidou doesn't say anything. He doesn't believe that, but he couldn't call his older brother a liar, could he? Any insistence he made to himself that this wasn't really his older brother held no water with him deep down. All those instincts that told him to respect and honor and love never once weakened or wavered. On something minor, sure, he could call him out, but... this didn't seem minor. Both of them were acting too weird for that to be the case. If it's about that app... but he's not even sure if that's the case. Just thinking about it twists anxious knots through his insides and runs ice down his veins. That can't be it. Not when it's Kouyuki. It just can't be, even if Kidou has no reason why he's so adamant about that. For some reason beyond reason he just can't let himself wonder.
Kidou has to settle for the safer question of what is going on? It's not denial! It's something else. Maybe. It's late, is what it is, and the adrenaline hasn't faded yet.
So instead, he stands there with no idea what to say, wishing he could come in, but mostly hoping desperately that his brother makes no move to open the door. Why did anything happen the way it did tonight..?]

Onii-san...
[What's wrong? How can he possibly ask that now?]
