Warning: Asakuracest, Yaoi, Some YohxAnna.

Puppet from the dead: I was listening to 'You're Beautiful' by James Blunt when I came up with this. Well…enjoy!

"Anna?" A nervous Yoh walked up to the prettiest girl in school and called her name.

"What?" She snapped from her seat in art, turning around to lightly glare at the scared boy. Yoh gulped.

"Do y-you wanna m-maybe hang out a-after s-school?" He asked, forcing himself to look at her in the eye.

"No." She stated simply, turning back around to work on her project.

Yoh's shoulders slumped. He started walking back to his seat when he wondered why she said no. He walked back to her.

"Anna?" He tried again.

"What do you want Yoh?" She turned back around, glaring a lot harder, clearly showing she was more than a little annoyed this time.

"Why not?" He asked, proud of himself that he didn't stutter this time.

"1.Because I said so. 2.Because you're annoying. 3.Because you're ugly and unattractive." She turned back around after that said.

Yoh could feel tears welling up in his eyes. He walked back to his seat calmly, careful to not let the tears fall. He sat down next to his friends, Horo and Ren.

"What did she say?" Horohoro asked.

"She obviously said 'no', Ainu baka." Ren said, noticing his friends wet eyes.

"It's ok guys. I'll be fine." Yoh smiled at them, though you could see the pain in his eyes. They all went back to their work, ignoring the situation.

LATER

Yoh ran into his house tears falling freely. He went up to his room, ignoring his mom and dad's questions of worry. He locked the door and turned around to lay down when he saw his twin laying in his bed. He blinked a couple times.

"Don't you have your own room?" Yoh asked, annoyed.

"Mom and dad keep it pretty cold in the house and your room is the warmest." Hao said, sitting up to see his brothers tears.

He immediately switched to caring mode and went up to Yoh to hug him tightly. Yoh clutched his brothers shirt and started sobbing uncontrollably.

"What's wrong Yoh?" Hao asked.

"I-i just a-asked A-anna, the p-prettiest girl e-ever, to h-hang out w-with me a-after s-school and s-she said n-no!"

"Why would she say no to someone as special as you?" Hao asked, stroking his brothers hair.

"S-she said I was u-ugly and u-unattractive!" Yoh kept on sobbing.

Hao stopped stroking his brother hair and his face darkened. Yoh stopped sobbing for a moment to look up a his twin, though he was still sniffling.

"What's wrong onii-chan?" Yoh asked, a little nervous.

"So Anna said you were ugly?" Hao asked almost in a low growl. Yoh nodded.

Hao scooped his brother up in his arms and laid him on his own bed. Hao crawled over him and straddled his waste. Yoh blushed as Hao leant down and whispered in his ear.

"Well I think you're beautiful." Hao whispered before kissing his brother on the lips.

Yoh's eyes widened and he struggled, but Hao pinned his arms above his head. When his brother moved his hand to unbutton his shirt he thrashed wildly. Hao pulled away to see fear and horror in his brothers eyes. He swallowed a lump that formed in his throat and got off of his brother to run out of the room.

Yoh lay there stunned. He was so close to giving in. It's a good thing he left. Yoh knew he's liked his brother for quite awhile. He asked Anna out because he was trying to get over his sexy twin, and because he used to like her in 3rd grade. Him and his brother were in 5th grade now. An age that was so confusing. That's it. He must be confused about his feelings, it has to be hormones. His needs. His wants. But why his brother? He remembered when he used to have a crush on Ren. Of course he doesn't anymore. Ren has Horo. They fill each other gaps, holes, and needs. Does Hao fill his gaps, holes, and needs?

He walked over to his bedroom door and looked around and down the hall, noticing his brothers door was closed. He slowly made his way down the hall and down stairs. He looked around to find no one down there. He looked to the fridge and saw a note. He pulled it of and read it.

Hao and Yoh, me and your father went to a week long business trip. We didn't say a proper goodbye cause we were already running late. Yoh, I don't know what is the matter but I hope you feel better about it. We left you guy's money to shop, get food, and such. Spend it wisely though. Hao take care of your brother properly. No party's, inviting girls or anyone except Horo and Ren. Remember we love you lots!

Love,

Mom and Dad

Yoh clipped the note back on the fridge. Yes, his family was rich and all. Though Yoh really didn't care much.

He went into the living room and plopped on the couch. He grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels.

Hao was in his room sitting on his bed and writing in his journal. Guy's do NOT keep diary's, so he got a journal. Most of the pages had his brother's name in it with little hearts and 'I love Yoh'. He turned to a clean page and started writing a poem.

I love you so deeply,

I love you so much,

I love the sound of your voice

And the way that we touch.

I love your warm smile

And your kind, thoughtful way,

The joy that you bring

To my life every day.

I love you today

As I have from the start,

And I'll love you forever

With all of my heart.

He smiled at his work and flipped to some other pages where poetry was written from some time ago. He read over his favorite one yet.

I thought love was just a mirage of the mind,

it's an illusion, it's fake, impossible to find.

But the day I met you, I began to see,

that love is real, and exists in me.

He sighed sadly. Would Yoh ever feel the same way? Does Yoh feel the same way? No, he doesn't. The fear in his eyes when Hao kissed him. But when he looked into his eyes, did he see love too? Nah. Impossible. He knew Yoh liked Anna. That bitch was nothing compared to his brother though. Yoh was perfect in every way. Mind, soul, and body. He was truly beautiful. To him, Yoh was something hard to get. Like an expensive outfit or…a star. Stars are very hard to get. They look so close, yet they are so far away. They're like his brother. They shine brightly, pretty, and though sometimes you can't see them, they are always their. He started humming softly as he closed his journal and put it inside his pillow case.

He got up and went down into the kitchen. He saw the note on the fridge and read it quickly. He put it back and got into the cabinet to get a small bag of mini Oreos. He opened it and was about to stick one in his mouth as he walked into the living room, then he saw his brother flipping through the channels. He froze when Yoh looked at him. But then got a suspicious look on his face when Yoh patted the spot next to him.

"Are you gonna sit or just stand there all day with an Oreo half way in your mouth?" Yoh asked, pushing the situation they were in earlier out of his mind. Hao pouted and stuck the Oreo in his mouth as he walked to the couch and sat down at he other end.

"I though you said it was cold in the house?" Yoh asked, remembering what his brother said earlier.

Hao stopped eating his Oreos to look at his brother. He was right. It was freezing. But he wasn't going to get close to his brother after what happened.

"Do you have short-term memory loss?" Hao asked, cutely tilting his head to the side. Yoh sighed annoyingly.

"Can't you just forget about that?! It wasn't THAT big of a deal! Jeez!" Yoh yelled at his brother, then got up to race back into his room.

Hao was gaping at the spot his brother was just sitting at. Yoh never yelled. At least, Hao's never heard him. Yoh was always calm and cheerful no matter what. Did Hao just break through his brothers calm exterior? Well…maybe…but Yoh was emotional sometimes. He was especially emotional today. He cried cause Anna said he was ugly, then he acted like what happened earlier, never happened, THEN he yelled at his twin who was just sitting innocently on the couch eating his Oreos.

Hao threw the half eaten bag on the couch and raced up the stairs, knocking on his brothers door frantically.

"Yoh! I'm sorry! I scooted away from you cause I though you wouldn't want to be near me." He stopped knocking on the door as he heard is brother hit it an slide down.

"But I want you near me. Just because you kissed me doesn't mean it should wreck our relationship as brothers…" Yoh trailed off.

"You didn't have to state it so blunt." Hao murmured, though Yoh could still hear it.

"See? You just can't forget it can you?"

"I hold every moment we have together close, like I hold my own life. I can't forget anything we share. I'm sorry, but I just can't forget." Hao said. After a few moments of silence between the two, Yoh opened his door.

Hao looked at his brother's teary face but didn't make a move to comfort him.

"Aren't you gonna hug me?" Yoh smiled lightly, arms open.

Hao smiled back and hugged him tightly.

"Maybe we should talk about this." Hao said, Yoh nodded.

They walked to Yoh's bed and sat down.

"So you like me more than a brother?" Yoh asked, looking down.

"Yes. You don't feel the same way though, so I'll treat you like a brother, not a lover." Hao said.

"Ok. Good, cause…well…you're right. I don't have feelings like that for you. And I am also going to treat you like a brother." Yoh lied right through his teeth. Hao nodded.

"Well…we have the house for a week…wait, you read that note…right?" Hao asked stupidly.

"Well yeah." Yoh said. I mean come on, he WAS the first in the kitchen. And besides, wasn't he wondering why their parents all of the sudden left?

"We can't do anything drastic…how 'bout we just watch a movie." It was more of a statement than a question.

"Ok." Yoh answered.

"How about a scary movie?" Hao asked, hiding laughter.

"Ok-wait a minute…I thought you said you wouldn't try anything?" Yoh asked. Hao knew Yoh got scared easily so he would cuddle with the closest thing, which was Hao.

"Why Yoh, I haven't done anything wrong." Hao said, acting surprised. Yoh rolled his eyes, and decided to play along.

"Ok…let's watch 'Hide And Seek'." Yoh said.

Hao grabbed his brothers hand and dragged him down the stairs. When he got into the living room he searched their movie shelf, when he came to the movie they were going to watch he grabbed it and turned all of the lights off. He didn't need to shut the curtans cause it was already dark outside. Yoh was already sitting on the couch when Hao put the movie in. Yoh sat in the living room and watched the previews.

Hao had ran into the kitchen to make some popcorn. The time it was done the previews were over. They sat together as the movie started…

Puppet from the dead: Alright, this was supposed to be a one-shot…but I accidentally turned it into a story.

Yoh: 'Accidentally'?

Puppet from the dead: Well…yeah. Accidentally.

Yoh: -rolls eyes-
