The thunder is loud, the lightning is bright. I'm so scared and I want nothing more than for you to hold me tight, but I can't move. I'm under my sheets and I can't move. I'm too scared. Where are you? I can't see you. I feel so alone.
There's that damn thunder again! What's that? I think I hear footsteps. Could it be you? Is someone coming to tell me there's a tornado? Are we all going to die? Am I going to die without you?
"Kaoru..." Oh, it is you. I poke my head out to glance at you. You notice the tears that stain my eyes and embrace me lightly. "Oh, Kaoru! There's nothing to be worried about! I'm here now! You're safe…"
I look up at you, and you at me. Your expression is so soft, so reassuring. It soothes me and I love it. I love you. I love you more than life itself and I know you feel the same.
Everyone assumes it's just an act. Sometimes even I question our motives, but I know our love is true during times like these, I know that there is nothing that can ever come between us. We are a pair, a couple, we come together.
Hikaru… I love you so much it hurts me. I look at you and my eyes ask the question I've been wanting to ask you for years. Do you love me? Do you love me as something more than a brother? Do you love me as something more than your twin? Do you love me the way I love you?
"Kaoru, I love you… You are everything to me. I would never trade you for anything in my world. You are my brother, my friend, and my lover. Don't let this storm scare you. Don't let any storms in the future scare you. I'm here Kaoru, and I always will be.
It's so nice to hear you say these things. "I love you too" I whisper as I snuggle closer to you until I can feel your heart beat. I listen intently. Each beat is so familiar. Your heart beats perfectly in time with mine, and tonight is the night I realized… Maybe it's supposed to be that way.
