Hikaru woke up in the middle of the night, feeling hot and sweaty and, most of all, thirsty. Kaoru was fast asleep beside him, and wrapped up in the blanket, he felt warm and cozy. However, he was still thirsty, so Hikaru got up to get a drink.

He opened the door to their room slowly, wincing when it creaked. He padded down the stairs in his sock feet, blinking blearily.

The Hitachiin manor was silent and still. Darkness surrounded him, and the only sounds he could hear was the whirring electronics and the occasional car outside. It was very calming and Hikaru suddenly felt energized.

He went downstairs and got his water, filling it up from one of the jugs in the fridge. He drank it, then filled it back up again. He started to walk back upstairs with the glass.

Upon entering his and Kaoru's room, two things happened. One, the motion-sensing night light in the hallway clicked off, making it darker. And two, he took a shaky sip of his water, making him feel a little disoriented. That's when tragedy struck.

Hikaru, meaning to get back into bed, overshot his step and smashed his toes into the leg of the bed.

"HOLY MOTHERFUCKING JESUS CHRIST SON OF A BITCH HAIRY DICK BALLS OF FUCKING GOD!" Hikaru screamed, falling over and dropping his water.

This outburst woke up Kaoru, who peered over the edge of the bed confusedly. "Hikaru? Did you have another nightmare?"

"NO! I STUBBED MY FUCKING TOE!"

Kaoru burst out laughing. "You've got to be more careful!"

"It's not funny!" Scowling, Hikaru stood up and tried to collect the pieces of broken glass. "Okay, maybe a little."

"Come back to bed, Hika." Karol giggled. "Let the servants deal with it." Hikaru complied and climbed back into bed beside his brother.

Unfortunately, he couldn't sleep for the rest of the night.
