You bed

[Hikaru Hitachiin]

Hikaru laid in his bed, mind racing quickly as he thought of what had happened earlier that same day. Akina was all that he saw when he closed his eyes, and her name flipped over and over again in his brain. He was completely entraced by the women, by one of his best friends sense he was younger. And he was on a mission, one that would end tonight if he was so lucky.

Hikaru began pacing back and forth trying to think of the best way to talk to his brother. Even if the two had been together sense birth for some reason it felt weird talking to him about girls. Like the way you get when you have 'the talk' with your parents and everything is just awkward. Though Hikaru was pretty sure that Kaoru knew that something was up with him, as that was almost always the case.

Hikaru laid back in bed and yelled, wanting Kaoru to hear him as he yelled. "Kaoru will you come here."

[Kaoru Hitachiin]

Trudging to the chair, Kaoru lifted himself up to the ledge as he leaned against the pillar, looking outside for a moment. He was dead beat- and being a little lazy today, he didn't feel like walking all the way upstairs to get to the room that Hikaru and himself shared. It was too much, and frankly the thought of just how many killed him. Sometimes, Haruhi was lucky, living in a small space so she could gain access of the home quicker- the poor girl, a kindred soul really, she deserved better. Who knows how hard she worked to earn enough money for something as trivial as a snack. Then again, if she had worked that hard, it wouldn't be considered snack anymore, would it? It would be like... dinner, a whole meal!

Though it was true that he had been to her house and knew that she was well off as she was, Kaoru missed those thoughts lurking in his head. He missed listening to the President ramble on about Haruhi's inability to make enough money for food- and leading investigations on the insider life of a commoner. In a way, he missed Haruhi just being friends with all of them, now she showed interest in Tamaki, and Kaoru- deep inside didn't like it. He wasn't sure why, that thought shouldn't be there. The President seemed happy, why couldn't he be too?

Jerking his head up at the sound of his twin's voice, he grunted and jumped off the ledge, running up the stairs- alarmed.

Slowing, he paused and caught his breath before he pushed open the door- arching a brow, expecting the worse. 'What?' he asked, worry tinting his tone and caution coloring his voice and face. He watched his twin warily as the other rolled around on the bed- immediately feeling something was off.

Hikaru looked at his brother, a smile on his face. He knew his brother would have thought something was a miss or that his brother was doing something bad, which was usually true, but not tonight. Patting the bed Hikaru got into a sitting position, welcoming his brother into the warm bed. It had been awhile since the two had been alone, but for some reason Hikaru felt as if Kaoru was not completely happy.

Hikaru got off the bed and walked over to his brother, both hands reached out. He grabbed his hands and literally pulled Kaoru onto the bed. Hikaru tossed the blanket over then and embraced his brother tightly. It was not uncommon for Hikaru to want to just lay with his brother, it was like being surrounded by someone you know actually cares about what you have to say. And it was always nice after a long day to have someone you love right at your side.

Hikaru looked into Kaoru's eyes and could not help but smile. But then his mission came back to him and he needed to just get it out. "Kaoru, you know Akina right? Well I was wondering if you would get angry if I ask her out?" Hikaru closed his eyes tightly before opening them slowly. He really wanted to know what his brother was going to say about this.

Not that Kaoru needed any indication to join his twin on the bed, he was still surprised at the move. They were close, and though they are not homosexual and do not practice incest, they are close, closer then any other siblings- it was just a lifestyle after depending on each other for so much. When he felt lost and alone, he knew there was only one person who could possibly understand what he was feeling, if not feel a ghost of that emotion, even before he had entered the room.

With a grunt, they collapsed on the bed, the mattress bouncing them for a moment before he returned the hug, his eyes shut absently. It's been a long time, and for some reason, he felt like something was ripping his twin apart form him. He was well aware of his twin's feelings for Haruhi at one point- and though, for a moment, he was glad that his world was expanding, he wondered where that would leave him. Would he really be in the dark? Would the only person who supported him leave him behind, despite the promise that they would never do such a thing.

With a hum, the question stirred up that feeling inside his head. He opened his eyes and looked up at his twin, unsure of what to say for a split second. But how selfish would his twin be to say no? As someone had once told him, they were unique, but still two different people- he had no right to control what his older twin did.

Instead of voicing that thought, he smiled at him. 'Why wouldn't I? If you're happy for her, go ahead,' he said brightly. That meant something, right? They were taking steps to become more independent. What more could he ask?

Hikaru smiled at Kaoru's answer, though deep down he felt as if something was amiss. How will his new relationship effect the special one he held with his brother? Of course some things would change, though Hikaru was not sure if it was for the best at the moment. Everything, the 'dating' thing specially, was all new to him, and everything seemed out of place.

But he pushed the thoughts behind and hugged his twin closer, looking in his eyes. His twin was so important to him he would never let anything get in between them. Blood was more inportant than anything and their connection would never end as long as they lived. Though Hikaru rarely fights with his brother, after a fight they can never stay mad at eachother for very long. It is hard to hate someone who is just like you; like hateing your reflection.

Hikaru spoke after a short silence. "I love Kaoru." He stated closing his eyes. "And I will never let anything come between us. Okay?"
