"Hikaru..."

A sweet and soft voice filled the night air, calling out to his hardly secret lovers ear. Kaoru briskly walked over to where Hikaru was strewn on the bed, still wincing slightly at the pain in his arm from being tossed off horse and carriage earlier that day.

"Kaoru.."

A seemingly just as sweet and soft voice answered. Warm tones and hints of love filled the air. Bronze eyes met another pair of Bronze eyes as Kaoru sat on his and his brother's all too familiar king size bed.

"How's the pain?" Kaoru asked, taking his twin's hand and delicately rubbing it against his pouty pink lips.

"It-it still hurts. But i'm just glad it was me that got thrown off the carriage, and not you Kaoru."

Hikaru's eye's sparkled in the moonlight seeping through the window. He smiled a drawn out, appreciative smile, and looked his brother up and down appreciating what he always protected.

"Oh! Hikaru!" Kaoru squealed.

Kaoru quickly embraced his injured brother in his tight grasp, and let out tears of sadness. He dug into his back lovingly with his fingernails, as if he never wanted to let him go again. He took in the way he smelled; like dirt from the pumpkin patch he fell into. Hikaru was surprised, but quickly began patting his brother on the back lightly and delicately with his good arm. He slowly yet surely inched his hand down his slender frame, and crept his fingers underneath the others shirt. He began teasingly stroking his brother's skin in light airy circles.

"Kaoru... you really shouldn't worry about me so much. I'm strong, I can take care of myself. You on the other hand..." Hikaru tilted his head and gazed into his brothers eyes. "..I would die before I let you meet harm."

Kaoru's face lit up something fierce, and he furrowed his eyebrows in sadness. Would his only brother really die for him? Why did his words hurt him so much? Why did they cut him like a knife? Did Kaoru fail to protect his brother like his brother would always protect him?

"I...I-I. I would've done something...Hikaru. If Haruhi wasn't there, and I wasn't protecting her.. I would've done something." Kaoru whimpered, looking toward the ground in defeat.

"Non-sense. You needed to protect Haruhi. Kaoru, I completely understand. Brother, you are not in the wrong here."

The silkeyness of Hikaru's voice all but mesmerized Kaoru. It always seemed to put him in a trance. Granted they sound exactly alike, but no one seemed to know quite how to use their voice better than Hikaru.

"Besides, it's just a hairline fracture to my wrist and a few pulled and bruised muscles on my back. I'm not dying love. Not as long as you're around."

Kaoru's face grew a little more content and he quickly gave one of his sexy and adorable smiles to Hikaru. Hikaru didn't think this was fair, considering he was kind of in pain at the moment.

"Oh, don't smile at me like that. Please. You'll melt off my arm brace and there would'nt be anything supporting my arm. You wouldn't want that would you?" Hikaru joked.

"Of course not. How silly of me." Kaoru giggled, backing away from Hikaru's orb like eyes.

Kaoru got up from where he was sitting on the bed, and gently laid his brother back down. Hikaru sighed a little due to the pain. Kaoru continued to cover his handsome twin with blankets until he was comfortable enough. He then reached into his backpack that was lying on the ground near the bed, and pulled out his cell phone. He quickly dialed a number and put the phone to his ear.

"Yes..maids? It's Kaoru. Listen, i'm going to need you to be on call tonight. Lookout for Hikaru's cell phone number. He is badly hurt, and will be bed-ridden for a while until he gets to feeling better. So, until that happens, i'm going to need you to be on call 24/7 until he no longer requires your nightly services."

Two seemingly hyped up female voices came from the other end, saying lots of yes sirs and we understand sirs.

"Good. You have a nice night."

Kaoru hung up and began dialing another number.

"Kaoru...you don't have to do this you know. It's not a big de-"

"It's a very big deal."

Kaoru was staring boldly and intently into his brother's eyes.

"Oh Kaoru..."

"You're my only brother. My best friend. I'm going to do everything I can and need to do to make up for not being able to prevent this from happening."

Right after Kaoru completed his sentence, the phone picked up.

"Hello"? The voice on the other line said.

"Yes, Kyoya? Hikaru and I will be taking a weeks vacation off from school and the host club. I would like to stay with him while he recovers. I promise we'll be back promptly after."

"I see... That is quite alright. Tamaki and I send our regards of course to Hikaru. I'll make sure he gets a get well basket from each family accordingly. We will miss your presence Hitachiin twins."

"Thank you Kyoya. See you soon."

"I admire you caring so much about me, but this isn't neccessary. Really. Besides, aren't I supposed to be the one spoiling you? You really leave me feeling like a doppelganger over here, all limp and lifeless. Not being able to excite and spoil my breathtakingly beautiful brother." Hikaru said, looking at him from underneath blankets.

Kaoru strolled to where Hikaru was once more, and knelt down beside him. Hikaru glanced up at him with his twinkling bronze eyes, and extended his good arm to Kaoru's cheek. Kaoru filled the all too tempting gap of space between him and his brother's face and kissed his pink soft lips. Hikaru was taken aback by his brother's willingness to make the first move, but then he surrendered to the deliciousness that was Kaoru's sweet mouth. He moaned lightly into the kiss, and used his good arm to intertwine his fingers in his twins hair. Hikaru pressed harder against Kaoru's head, deepening the kiss. Eventually Kaoru's lips gave way, and they parted fully allowing his counter-part complete dominance of what was already his. Kaoru started lightly moaning as well, and pretty soon it escalated into passionate steamy kissing. The sort of kissing that would make yaoi fan-girls scream their hearts out and cross their legs. Hikaru continued rubbing tongues with his brother, and let his good arm trail down to Kaoru's crotch area. Kaoru all of the sudden broke off the kiss.

"Hikaru... we can't. You're not feeling well." An out of breath Kaoru stated.

"Oh, one little twincest adventure won't hurt.."

"Yes it will. Alot. Like this."

Kaoru applied normal pressure to Hikaru's back, which felt like a hammer beating into his muscles.

"Yee-oww! Ok, ok. You win." Hikaru breathed, wincing in pain and grabbing his back.

"But hey.." Hikaru began, outstretching an arm to his twin and relaxing himself. "..I love you...Kaoru."

Kaoru froze. His face was with shock and awe, and he fell on his ass upon hearing the statement.

"Hikaru...I thought.."

"I know. But I said it anyways. It's a stupid rule, not saying it. We do things that couples do, and love with a passion that normal couples can't understand. Why not say it? Because we're brothers? Because we have the same Mom and came from the same womb?"

Hikaru had put his hand on Kaoru's red cheek.

"I say, that that just means we've been soulmates from the very beginning. We were born for each other. So much so, that we shared a uterus. We came out together, we live together.."

Kaoru's eyes began tearing up. Out of happiness this time.

"We love together, we make love together. I do hope we'll die together you know."

Hikaru's voice was doing it again. That special thing it does where it grasps at your heartstrings and makes you believe anything can happen. That you can fly or move mountains.

"I love you." Hikaru finished.

Kaoru was far beyond words, but he did know what his heart wanted to jump out and yell.

"I-I love you too, brother."

"Good. Now come here."

Hikaru planted one more spicy tempting kiss filled with passion and dripping with lust, making Kaoru extremely weak kneed. After the kiss, Kaoru tucked in his sleepy brother and watched him fall asleep. He then proceeded to take an extremely cold shower.

"He-he loves me."

Kaoru smiled to himself in the shower, resting his head against the wall and letting the water drip down his naked body. He knew waking Hikaru up tomorrow was going to be the best day of his life.
