Disclaimer: The Hitachiin brothers do not belong to me no matter how much I wish for it. ;-; The only thing I will receive from writing this fic is the ability to make the twins do whatever I want.


Tears gathered in my eyes as I watched him walk away with her. The bitter words that had left his mouth were still lodged within my ears.

"Don't be a fool, Kaoru. I would never actually love you like that. There's no room left in my heart for you anymore."

That's what he said as he turned to take the hand of a smaller brunette girl and fade into the distance. I felt completely worthless and pathetic. Was I a fool to think he actually loved me?

"Wait..." I whispered too softly for my brother to hear.

I lost it. Tears came rushing out of my eyes like waterfalls. I fell to the ground and continued to sob- his face lingering in my mind.

"Kaoru? Kaoru! Wake up!" said the poisonous voice from my dream. I opened my eyes to see my living reflection's worrying face. "Are you OK? You were crying in your sleep." Hikaru placed his hand on my head.

"..."

I couldn't help but think of those awful words he had (but hadn't) said to me.

"There's no room left in my heart for you anymore."

I couldn't hold back my emotions and began to sob. Hikaru was confused. He pulled me up for a tight and comforting hug as we sat on my bed.

"Did you have a bad dream?" he asked.

I pulled myself together and managed to nod without sobbing. My heart hurt.

"Well? What happened? I'm sure if you tell me you'll feel better." He smiled at me and I felt my face heat up and my heart jump. I sat up and began to tell him about my terrible dream. Not once did I make eye contact because I was afraid that my nightmare would come true and I'd be rejected again. I blushed as I finished and stole a glance in his direction. He was, to my surprise, smiling at me.

"Kaoru," he asked. Before I could even reply he pushed me on my back and brought his face just centimeters above mine.

"Do you know how stupid you are to even think that I would say anything like that to you?" He chuckled and then pressed his lips against mine. My eyes were as big as the moon but slowly began to close.

After a few minutes of our forbidden kiss he pulled away and crawled over me and under the covers. He pulled me closer and I put my arms around him.

"I love you, Kaoru. And you know that I can't act to save my life. How could anything at the club not be sincere?" Hikaru joked. I chuckled and nodded.

"Yeah. I guess I should have remembered that you suck at acting. I mean- you failed theatre class in middle school." I laughed at the stink-face my brother gave me. I sighed and then closed my eyes.

"I love you, Hikaru," I said as I snuggled up against him, "Promise you'll never leave me."

"You already know that I won't ever leave you."

"I know. I just wanted to hear you say it." I grinned.

Hikaru sighed and then chuckled. "Why you- Kaoru? ...Sound asleep. Of course." Hikaru smiled and shook his head.

"Night, Little brother."


A/N: I fixed this fic up a bit! :D I reread it and almost died. The format was just... ugh.
