Welcome to my first ever fanfic. Preface :P
Kaoru stirred quietly in the bed, not remembering how he had gotten there after his previous encounter with that man. His eyes cascaded down the sheets that hugged his skin and the skin of his replica. He quietly repositioned himself so he could stray a peek at the sleeping figure beside him. His lips parted gently and involuntarily as if taking in the sight before him couldn't be done with his eyes alone. He had to breathe it in as well. His fingers fidgeted for a brief moment. Why must it always be a task to look at you? His heart fluttered in his chest.
He pushed his palms against the mattress and lifted himself slightly. A sharp gasp escaped his lips. He grasped his shirt, waiting for the pain to subside. He didn't know what had come to live in his weak frame but the pain it shot through his body was growing worse. Ugh...breathe...mm! He squeezed his eyes shut and bit on his tongue to quiet the wail forming within him. Blood trickled around the crevices of his tongue and slipped down his chin, falling hopelessly against his hand. He was still digging into his shirt and eventually his fingernails would find themselves in his chest, for the aching wouldn't stop. Tears clustered around his eyelashes and dribbled from their tips to the crown of his neck creating velvet, glittering ellipses on his pale skin.
Is this what I get for loving my brother more than I should?
He silently moved to the edge of the bed. His breathing coming in huffs as he stumbled to the bathroom. His left hand, once dangling loosely at his side, now craved for a wall to lean against. He finally made it to the bathroom. It wouldn't normally take so long to reach it because it faced his side of the bed. There were no obstacles that he had to go around or slide over to get there. It was a straight shot.
He held his breath as the very task of breathing rocked his body with agony.
He turned softly on the tile as to allow himself one more whimpered glance at the hypnotic darkness.
The room swallowed everything, for every object no matter how minuscule or monstrous could not be pointed out in this curtain of black.
Except for a thin line, rising and falling softly with the breathing of Hikaru.
Kaoru's eyes widened. Beneath him his legs buckled. In the manacled silence the collision of bone and cement could be heard. He froze, blood cascading down the cement where each tile met, his hands clasping the doorknob for support. Hikaru?
He couldn't breathe.
He couldn't move.
"Help me." And the words were just whispers masked by the sound of painful screams and then emptied in the darkness of his own mind.
The last thing he sees, his brother's shadow, a form of catatonic hatred.
Cliffhanger. My first fanfic. Feel free to comment or bash as you please. ;)
