Kaoru was sick. Hikaru was alone. The younger had to stay in his own room to avoid getting his brother sick as well. Hikaru didn't mind really if he caught whatever Kaoru had, then they could sleep in the same bed again. And with this in mind, he threw the covers off and slipped out across the hall.

Gently closing the door, he noticed how the humidifier was off and the window open. His twin was tossing and turning, making a complete mess of his bed. When he finally lay still, Hikaru smoothed the sheets back in place. He brushed Kaoru's fringe out of his eyes and began to sing a random tune almost inaudibly. Kaoru had always told him that his singing made him sleep easier.

But the boy instead awoke, "Hikaru?" His voice was soft and worn from incessant coughing. Hikaru lay beside him and sang a little louder, his fingers entwining with those that looked exactly like his, but weren't. Kaoru's were lightly calloused from holding a paintbrush for long periods of time. After all, they weren't the same, not exactly at least. And they fell asleep, close as they always had been.

Kaoru was sick, but neither was alone.
