Kaoru Hitachiin sat in front of the fireplace, not minding the feeling of hard wood flooring underneath him. A flame had been coaxed out of the wood already. It rose and fell, flickering within the brick structure. The lights were off; the electricity had shut down due to the rain storm ragging outside. Darkness filled a lot of the room, the fire only big enough to light a portion of the space.

Hikaru walked in from the kitchen, carrying two mugs of hot chocolate. He gave his brother one of the cups and sat next to his younger reflection.

"Thanks" Kaoru gratefully sipped at his drink, enjoying the warmth it gave off.

"You're welcome" they sat quietly for a while, listening to the crackling of the fire and the sound of rain pounding against the windows. After polishing off his drink, the younger of the two set his mug down on the coffee table next to his brother's half empty cup.

The brothers didn't have to worry about their parents interrupting them, because their mother was at a fashion convention showcasing some of the new pieces in her fashion line. Their father never really spoke to them much and spent a lot of time in his office trying to improve the computer software company he ran. As for the maids, they weren't really worried. Even if they were caught doing anything, what would really happen? Certainly, their parents wouldn't be told anything. So really, what was there to worry about?

Kaoru jumped in surprise as an arm was snaked around his waist and pulled him closer. Soon, he was sitting in Hikaru's lap, his arms around the other's neck.

"Hika..."

"Yes?" the feeling of his brother's breath at his neck made the younger twin shiver.

"I love you"

"I love you, too" a kiss was placed on his skin, turning into a series of butterfly kisses that went up along his jaw line. Finally, their lips met, fingers tangling into red hair and the storm outside forgotten. Moaning lightly into the kiss, Kaoru turned a shade of red. He knew it was ridiculous; they had done more things than that. Still, even just kissing Hikaru could make his face turn scarlet.

Pulling away from his twin, Kaoru rested his head on his reflection's shoulder. As time ticked by, their breathing went from panting to being even and calmed. Hikaru understood what his brother wanted, some quality time together without any extra motive. He was fine with that; after all, they would have plenty more alone time in the future.

Wrapping a blanket around them, he kissed his younger brother's cheek one last time. Smiling in response, Kaoru leaned into the other some more. They watched the fire for a while, until eventually it died down. When it did, Hikaru managed to bring it back to life. For the most part, they stayed quiet, listening as the storm got worse, the tapping at the glass only becoming louder.

Looking down, Hikaru saw his brother's sleeping form. The sound of his even breathing was calming, as was the peaceful look on his face. Mouth open slightly and gold eyes darting around under closed eye lids, he must have been dreaming. Hikaru wondered what was going on inside his head.

Kissing Kaoru's forehead, he settled down, laying on his back. With his reflection's head resting on his chest and his arm around his twin, Hikaru felt secure. He pulled the blanket up over them and closed his eyes. The sound of the rain outside and his brother's steady breathing helped him fall asleep. His last thought before dreams engulfed him was, 'This is what home is supposed to be like'.

Thanks for reading! This story will be updated at a very irregular rate, but I'll try to post at least one chapter a week. No promises though. Leave a review and tell me what you think. Grazie!
