"Oh Kaoru you know I would never hurt you"

Kaoru buried his head into Hikaru's chest only to have his chin tilted up.

"I know Hikaru, I…" Hikaru brought his lips closer to Kaoru's ghosting over them.

"Don't talk anymore Kaoru" the girls stared in awe as they watched the twins

"Hika-" Kaoru was cut off by a squeal from one of the girls, some fainting from a nosebleed while the other blushed like crazy, putting a tomato to shame.

"Okay ladies we will now be closing, time to go." The shadow king pointed at the clock as they left one by one until the members were left "Great job Hika and Kao-Chan!" the blond Lolita tossed Usa-Chan up catching the pink bunny twirling around then bounded to Mori's shoulders "As always!" the flamboyant blond chirped.

"I do say so myself Hikaru and Kaoru good job." Kyoya wrote something down in his black notebook and snapped it shut tucking his pen in his bag along with his belongings and grabbed his coat "Bye Kyo and Tama-Chan!" only to follow in suit grabbing Mori's hand the two headed for their limo "Hey Kaoru Ima walk Haruhi home. I need to talk to her about something" Kaoru gave a soft smile putting up his mask to hide his disappointment, "Yeah I understand. See you at home Hikaru"

Kaoru left, leaving the two alone. The younger ginger climbed into the limo, it was silent without his brother there. Kaoru was lonely; he always felt like this when Hikaru was with Haruhi sometimes he returned at mid-night or early in the morning, Kaoru could tell he wouldn't be back until mid-night or a quarter-till.

Heading straight to the bathroom Kaoru shed his uniform stepping into the shower, looking at the cuts on his forearm from the previous night, he had no other way to talk because it would just burden everyone. So he kept to himself about what does to deal with the pain, Kaoru slumped to the floor not being able to tell if it were his tears or the shower water 'I'm scared…I don't want to be alone, I can't…I don't like it.' -

Hikaru looked at his watch as he made it in around 9 o'clock, heading to his shared room and opened the door quietly not knowing if his baby brother was asleep, seeing he wasn't "Kaoru?"

Hearing the shower run Hikaru opened the door gasping

"Kaoru…!" The older ran into the bathroom cutting the water off, and pulled his brother out of the shower, grabbing a towel he began to dry Kaoru off.

"Mmm…Hikaru" Kaoru's eyes opened he have a weak smile "you scared me half to death Kaoru!" pulling the younger Hitachiin into a tight hug on the verge "Hikaru can I put some clothes on first before I catch a cold?"

Trying to lighten the mood some when he remembered his scars on his arm, Hikaru backed up a bit and that's when he noticed the scars, some fresh ones littered the pale skin, while others weren't.

"Kaoru…" Hikaru grabbed his arm and stood up dragging the younger Hitachiin to the bed tossing his onto it the springs squeaking in protest "Why?" Kaoru bit his lip looking away

"Why have you been cutting yourself Kaoru Hitachiin? What do you think will happen if you cut too deep? You could go to therapy or worse…you could die! I can't lose you Kaoru! So tell me why…why?"

Kaoru couldn't take it anymore, seeing his brother cry because of him…when he thought all along it was him who was doing this to himself, causing more pain to himself than necessary. The younger pulled Hikaru down and buried his face into the blue blazer, sobbing. Hikaru held his baby brother tightly, silent tears running down his cheeks, if only he had realized it sooner. If he had not been so caught up in Haruhi, maybe…just maybe he could have stopped his brother from this self inflicting pain he caused, his own flesh and blood, and twin nonetheless.

After what seemed like forever, Kaoru sat in his brother's lap resting his head against the older twin's chest.

"I'm sorry Hikaru…I just-…I was scared to say something, and burden everyone by worrying about me…especially you. I didn't want to take you away from spending time with Haruhi, but at the same time. I wanted to be with you…I can't be without you Hikaru, we've always been together. And I'm scared one day that we're going to grow apart." Hikaru just listened to his brother's confession, and that just made him hold the younger tighter and closer to him than ever.

"Kaoru…you'll always be my brother no matter what, and I'm sorry you felt this way for a while. Besides…I was talking with Haruhi. And she told me, I should just show you." Kaoru looked at his brother slightly hurt at the mention of Haruhi, but all the more curious as to what she told Hikaru to show him.

"Show me wha-"Hikaru pressed his lips against Kaoru's slipping his tongue in, the pink muscle pushing against the others hoping for some kind of response, Kaoru felt his back hit the mattress softly, eyes widening only to close, and wrap his arms around Hikaru's neck. The older Hitachiin snaked his arms around Kaoru's waist pulling him closer, Kaoru was the first to pull away, a thin trail of saliva connecting the two.

"I love you Kaoru…more than I should, I just wanted to let you know."

"You mean like a husband and wife?" A steady heat rising to his cheeks, his heart pounding against his ribcage, hoping that what Hikaru was saying is true.

"Like husband and wife." That was all Kaoru needed before he pulled Hikaru down into a lip bruising kiss, thin fingers lacing into the ginger locks similar to his, hazel irises darkening with lust.

In the midst of hair being pulled, toes curling, moans, screams, biting, and kissing. I love you's were passed, between one another.

Kaoru curled into the older twin, feeling an arm wrap around his waist protectively, reassuring the younger twin that he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, for a while.
