Kaoru felt Hikaru's had trembling over his before tightening.
"I'm okay, I promise." Kaoru let his hand slide in between Hikaru's, lacing their fingers.
"You should be happy we won without resorting to the quarreling brothers strategy, right?"
"Mhm." Kaoru closed his eyes and leaned closer into Hikaru, he felt tears welling in his amber irises at the response he was getting.
"Hikaru, I'm okay see!" Kaoru smiled, his cheek stretching the cut, it stung and the younger brushed it off as nothing. Hikaru still wouldn't look in his direction and this made him more upset.
"Kaoru, what if I hadn't been there? What if you really got hurt, and I wasn't there to protect you." Kaoru closed his eyes, tightening his grip on Hikaru's hand, and running his thumb over the back of his hand. Resting his head on Hikaru's shoulder, Kaoru nuzzled his face in the crook of the older twins neck.
"But I'm alright now, I'm not hurt. I'm here, so don't think like that. I'm going to be by your side no matter what happens." Kaoru lifted his head, and cupped Hikaru's cheek.
"But, what if there is a ti- mmph!" Kaoru slammed his lips into Hikaru's, pretty sure they were going to bruise, he couldn't care at the moment and pulled away.
"Hikaru you're my brother, and I love you. I'm always going to be by your side and vice versa, so stop it. All that matters is that I'm right here in front of you,I'm right here." Kaoru rest his forehead against Hikaru's, amber boring into amber.
"You're right, I guess I'm being stupid." Hikaru pulled Kaoru into him and pressed a kiss to the tip of Kaoru's nose, this earned a smile from the younger twin.
"You're not being stupid, just being an older brother." Hikaru smirked and pulled Kaoru onto the bed with him, his hands wrapping around Kaoru's waist firmly as the younger Ginger nestled his face into crook of th older twins once more and closed his eyes. With their fingers intertwined, Hikaru brought his hand up and kissed Kaoru's knuckles.
"Hikaru!" Kaoru whined, his face beet red. Before breaking out his brother's hold.
"Race ya'!" The younger leaped off of the bed and began to make his way to the bathroom.
"Not fair, you caught me off guard!" Hikaru ran after his brother laughing softly. Realizing that Kaoru was safe, and no matter what happens, they'll always stay with each other.
