Had the idea through a dream in America. Wrote it mostly when I was bored in Japan (BORED IN JAPAN?-you didn't meet my host family -.-')

I like it, its sweet to me.

The tiny tan hand reached out into the dark as far as it could go, only to clutch cold white sheets. Searching, it moved and grabbed blindly beside itself. Not finding what it was looking for, the young ginger turned his small head and opened one large auburn eye. Just has his little hand had said, he was all alone in his large king sized bed.

"Kao-chan?" Hikaru said sitting up in their bed, his hair a mess and his top pajama button unsnapped.

"Kao-chan?" He called louder as he used his petite arms to pull the covers back.

With his child's small pajamas still slouching off his shoulders he ventured into the hallway to find his missing teddy bear of a younger brother. 'Kao-chan' now came in waves of panicked whispers.

Trying to find each other in the dark had become a game that they frequently played, but tonight...Hikaru felt something was different. Something was...wrong.

There was no trail, no clues like always. He thought that maybe Kaoru was trying to make the game harder, but that was just a passing thought, he was to worried to think about his game.

Hikaru continued walking down the halls of his family's mansion calling out to Kaoru, hoping and wishing he would hear him. His pace on the cold marble floor quickened from fear that his baby brother was gone forever. Eaten by the Boogie-Monster or taken away by the Tooth Fairy because they hadn't brushed their teeth in a week. Hikaru would gladly drink an entire bottle of mouthwash for his twin back, no matter how bad it burned.

As he started to run through the main foyer he felt the cold night air hit him as he ran by. Hikaru stopped to realize that the glass door that lead to the veranda was ajar. He ran to it praying that Kaoru went this way.

"KAO-CHAN!" He yelled when he was finally outside. His words came out in a white fog from his small pouted lips.

He stopped walking, he stopped breathing, he just listened. He could hear a small noise, not more than a whimper coming from the garden. Hearing the gasps and moans he started off at a quick sprint.

There.- Right There!

He saw his reflection curled up on the floor of the stone gazebo. "Kao-chan! Kao-Kaoru" Hikaru called out as he reached the freezing body of his little brother. "Kaoru" He whispered softly when his twin only replied with a asthmatic wheeze from the cold air.

Picking his brother up and carrying him on his back as quickly and easily as he could, Hikaru wondered what in God's name he could do.

Trying to stay calm, he placed Kaoru on their shared bed and ran to the conjoining bathroom to run some warm water in the tub. He took the cup they kept on the bathroom counter and filled it until it started to overflow. Creeping back to the bed threw the warm water on his Kaoru's face before picking him back up and carrying him bridal style to their bathtub.

Pajamas, underwear, Kaoru, socks, and all were plunged into the warm water as Hikaru frantically and desperately tried to get Kaoru's attention.

"KAO-CHAN, KAO-CHAN" He called while dunking Kaoru into the water by his red locks. "Wake up!"

Kaoru stirred coughing and flailing his miniscule hands. "Hika-" He tried to get out between a cough

Hearing his name being mutely whispered made Hikaru stop. "Kaoru?" He said, his childish voice cracking with fear that he had heard wrong.

"Hika-ru" Kaoru whispered again, his ginger hair dripping water down his forehead. A small smile cracked his thawed out face.

Hikaru stared into the glassy duplicate of his eyes and nearly started to cry. Nearly-

"You-you-you big dummy. What made you go out there in the freezing cold in just Pajammies?"

He said, his chibi face turning red from a combination of happiness, frustration, and chocked back tears.

"I-I-I had a bad dream." Kaoru retorted, looking down, his face turning red from the embarrassment he felt. He relied how foolish that was once Hikaru spelled it out that way.

"A bad dream? Why didn't you wake me up? I was right there. I would have helped, you didn't have to go all the way outside!" Now Hikaru had found his way in the tub and was sitting in Kaoru's lap facing him. Literally, in his face, and getting closer with every emphasized syllable.

Looking down Kaoru's scarlet cheeks deepened. "I didn't want to wake you. Hika looked like an angel while he slept"

Placing both hands on either of Kaoru's cheeks, squeezing them to pucker his lips. Hikaru made eye contact with him. "Kao-chan. It doesn't matter, if Kao-chan needs Hika-sama, Kao-chan needs to wake Hika-sama up." He leaned his head forward to connect himself and Kaoru together by their foreheads.

Still looking down Kaoru's large eyes started to tear up. Cold tears started to roll down his rosy cheeks. "Gomen Hika-sama. Gomenaisai" He cooed, clutching Hikaru's soaked pajama top.

Hikaru pulled Kaoru closer and wrapped his tiny arms around him and held him as tight as he could. "Shh. Shh. Kao-chan."

Hikaru let go, just long enough to get out of the cooling water. He held out his hand and assisted Kaoru up and out. Leading him to the closet, he got them changed into dry sleep clothes while Kaoru kept crying is adorable eyes out.

Lying in bed, Hikaru pulled his younger, more sensitive brother close to his flat, disproportionate, chest and held him as he cried. Running his nubby fingers through his hair, feeling a wave of relief wash over his body because his precious baby brother was back beside him.

"Kao. It will be okay, I promise." Hikaru whispered, and with that, he rocked his small body as paced as he could, to eventually lead them back into their sweet dreams.

Personally, this is my favorite chapter. ^-^ [But all my first Chapters are]
