Of Doors and Moonlight
A Story with Hitachiin Hikaru and Hitachiin Kaoru

I never liked our doors to be open.
Even if it's just the tiny crack of light peeking through and catching me out in all my culpability.
I'm ashamed to admit this fact, even to you Hikaru. But it's true nonetheless. I'm scared of our doors staying open.

"Go back to sleep."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"… I'm scared."
As I lay here next to your gentle snores and rhythmic breathing, the door disturbs me.
It's not harming me or anything, but the way it's just staying there, unobtrusive and innocuous …
It makes me scared, more so than I know I should be. More than I want to be.
I suppose I should just shut it, but that action might wake you and I don't want that.
So instead, I run my hands through silky locks and dark contrasting tresses, and somehow it calms me.
I can't get enough of you.

"Hikaru…"
".. Mmm?"
"I-I …"
"S'matter?"
"… Never mind."
And maybe you're wondering why I'm sitting up like this instead of sleeping or snuggling up to you like always.
But the moonlight granted by opened door is keeping me awake.
You see, Hikaru, I don't like our locks doors to remain open.

-
"What is it?"
"Never mind."
"No, seriously. Kaoru, please?"
"Go back to sleep."
And when you reach up and wrap me in your warmth, I wonder if there's truth in your eyes.
Or if it's the same light from the hallway that I see.
Maybe it's both, but Hikaru, your eyes are filled with moonlight and it scares me.

-
"Kaoru."
"I-I can't … tell you."
"Why not?"
"Because … I just can't."
Even the silent comforts you whisper in my ear strain my patience, all because of that damn light.
I know you're only trying to lull me back to sleep but I'm sorry, it's not just working.
Please Hikaru, just please close the door.
I can't take it anymore.

"Hikaru, let go of me…"
"No. Not until you tell me what's wrong."
"You don't want to hear it."
"Kaoru."
"I'm not telling you."
I'm not sure if you hear me right away, but muddled confusion clouds the moonlight.
It doesn't clear gradually, or at all, but I'm glad.
Your reaction to my desperately vague plea distracts me from that light.
And you pull me in your arms again, effectively blocking away that open door and the moonlight streaming from your eyes.

-
"Why are you being so hard?"
"…"
"Kaoru?"
"..."
"Kaoru… please, tell me what's wrong."
"…Everything."
I don't know if you did it by instinct or what, but I'm glad, Hikaru.
Because you know, I never wanted our doors to open.
I always thought you didn't as well.

A/N :: You must think this is awfully random. And short. And formatting itself is atrocious enough and the storyline is ... well, weird. I apologise for that. PM me or drop a review if you're not too sure what they're referring to. I haven't written anything on here in a while since I moved on to roleplaying and stuff. But the Hitachiin Twins are just too lovely to be left alone. So this drabble became what it was.
DISCLAIMER: I don't claim to own the Ouran or the Hitachiin Twins and, rather, they own me.
