Chapter 2
"This place gives me the creeps," Kaoru muttered, following Kyouya behind an old commoners supermarket. Last time he had been here it had been day, and people had been rushing in and out the store. Now, it was dark. The place almost looked hunted at night.
"At least it's quiet and not a lot of people come here at after closing hours," Kyouya explained, waving a hand to make Kaoru hurry up.
"I see why," Kaoru murmured to himself and followed the taller teen.
There was two large green dumpsters behind the place, the ground had cracks in the asphalt and filled with used cigarettes, broken glass and wrappers of something. Kaoru jumped over some shattered glass, almost bumping into the shadow king, when he suddenly stopped and turned around.
"I'll give you some now, but you'll have to pay me if you want more," Kyouya said, with his usual all-business voice. Kaoru doubted that he would need more; he just wanted to forget Hikaru – just for a little bit.
"Okay," he answered, shrugging. He had no idea what it was Kyouya had planned, but he was willing to look at it.
Kyouya nodded and walked to one side of the alley to pull out a small wooden table and two chairs.
"Do you come here often?" Kaoru asked surprised. Somehow he just didn't picture the cool teen hang out this kind of places.
"On occasion," the teen answered and sat down. Kaoru looked at the empty chair and slowly took a seat. He folded his hands on the table, awaiting the next step of his forget-Hikaru-plan.
Kyouya looked at Kaoru once more before he reached down his pocket. Kaoru's eyes widen when he saw what he pulled up.
"O-oh! Kyouya- I- I can't…" he stuttered, leaning back, and stared mesmerized at the small plastic bag, with clean white powder inside. "D-drugs? N-no… Hikaru would kill me."
"You're choice. I just thought I would show you, you seemed to need a break," Kyouya said with a shrug and pulled the bag back in his pocket. Kaoru swallowed and stared at the pocket.
He really wanted to forget everything. He had never wanted to go as far, I mean, drugs. That was a no-turning-back-thing, a total point-of-no-return. He had heard about people who took them once and really could stop… but, the stories of people saying they would stop and just couldn't, was much more common. But still…
"Um… wha- what is it?" Kaoru said with a small voice. Kyouya's eyes scanned him with a serious expression.
"It's cocaine," he said plainly and Kaoru nodded to himself.
"Is- is it dangerous?" Kaoru was annoyed that he sounded like a scared kid's at the moment, but he couldn't help it. This was big.
Kyouya let out a laugh.
"Kaoru, it's drugs. I'm not going to lie, of course it's dangerous if you can't control it," he said and smirked. "I'm not going to force you, I'm not going to convince you either. It's all up to you."
The youngest twin bit his lip and ran a hand through his hair.
"Okay," he whispered.
"Excuse me?"
"I said… alright, sure, I'll try some," Kaoru said a little louder and looked at the black-haired man with big eyes. He just couldn't take all this loneliness anymore and if this drug could cure the hole in his chest, he would take the chance.
"You sure?" Kyouya made sure and pulled it back up. Kaoru nodded. "Okay then."
Kaoru watched in amazement as the teen pulled out a piece of glass and a golden credit card. He sprinkled a very small amount of white powder out on the glass and with precise movements made a small stripe of drugs along the glass.
"What do I do?" Kaoru asked, trying to sound prepared, when really, every cell in his body wanted to run away and hide in his bed with Hikaru. Cuddling into his chest and cry out his pain. But. He didn't have time to think like that.
"You snort it up through your nose," Kyouya explained, demonstrating by putting a finger over one nostril and suck in some air.
"Um… Okay…" Kaoru whispered and bent down toward the powder.
Hikaru sat up in his bed with a gasp. His forehead and bare chest was covered in sweat. He made small pants and his eyes were widened in shock.
"Hikaru?" Haruhi's drowsy voice called. The elder teen suddenly remembered where he was and with a calming breath he hid his face in the palm. Another nightmare.
They had started when he had moved out of his house with Kaoru.
He felt Haruhi put a calming hand on his shoulders and put his own over hers.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" he whispered. He heard the sheets rustle as she sat up, but he kept his face hid. He was afraid that she would see how scared he had been, afraid that she would see any weaknesses. She was not supposed to see his weak sides… right? Only Kaoru saw those.
"Was it a nightmare?" she asked. He let out a chuckle, but it came out fake and choking.
"It's nothing, just a… headache," he lied, but Haruhi just rolled her eyes.
"What was it? What did you dream?" she whispered and stroke his arm lovingly. He smiled, this was why he liked her, she knew what he was feeling all the time, could tell when he needed comfort and she was… almost… the female version of…
"So?" she interrupted his thought. He coughed a little, finally letting his hand sink from his face and looked at her.
"I was with my brother," Hikaru said and laughed sadly. "And I lost him. Um, he was… taken anyway."
"It's was just a dream, Kaoru is probably fine," Haruhi said and yawned sleepily. Looking like she just wanted to sleep.
"Thank you, but…" Hikaru slowly pushed her back down in the bed. "I'm just going to give him a quick call. You can just sleep."
"You're going to wake him, it's 3 o'clock, at night," Haruhi said wisely, but Hikaru just smiled.
"Kaoru told me- no, demanded – that I always call if there's something wrong." Hikaru explained.
Haruhi nodded, too sleepy to argue and cuddled into her sheets. Hikaru kissed her on the hair before he hurried to where he had thrown his pants to get his phone from the pants pocket. The room felt cold in just boxers, but he ignored it and dialed Kaoru's number. He knew it by heart.
Kaoru blinked twice in amazement. He felt… weird. No, that's not it. He felt… invincible.
He felt like he could run a marathon without a problem, he could jump out a bridge and fly away, he could lift a car over his head. He could do anything.
"Fell better?" Kyouya asked with a smirk.
"Yes. Yes, I feel awesome," Kaoru grinned and had to jump a little to use some of his energy. He heard Kyouya chuckle and turned to him with a wide smile.
"How long does it last?" he asked, smiling.
"Depends on the person, actually you are the most hyper person I have ever seen. When Tamaki tried he just got all confused," The shadow king explained, grinning by the memory.
"Really? That's nice. Let's go somewhere," Kaoru decided with huge hand movements. Kyouya thought about it for a moment and then shrugged.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked. Kaoru jumped higher in excitement and cheered happily.
Then a sharp melody suddenly cut through the air and he stopped moving instantly. With a clumsy movement he pulled his phone up and – without looking at the caller – answered.
"Yes?" he almost squealed.
"K-Kao? Its Hikaru," his brother's voice sounded, surprised by his happy tone. Normally that voice would make his heart break, make his mouth frown and his eyes go blank. But right now, he just laughed.
"How are you doing today, brother? Well, technically, tonight." Kaoru said with a grin.
"Oh, Jesus fucking Christ," Kyouya whispered and hid his face in a hand.
"I- I am doing okay, I mean, I wanted to talk to you about something. Hey, where are you? At a party? You sound very… cheerful," Hikaru said with a small voice.
"No, it's just me and Kyouya by some dumpsters," he laughed, and didn't notice Kyouya facepalm behind him.
"W-what?" Hikaru said surprised. "Are you drinking alone with Kyouya?"
"Drinking? Ha, who's drinking?" Kaoru said and had to walk around while he talked. Hikaru had turned momentarily quiet.
"Kaoru, give me the phone," Kyouya suddenly said and reached his hand forward, but Kaoru just pouted toward him and made small jumps away. Kyouya sighed and massaged the brick of his nose.
"Kaoru?" Hikaru called and Kaoru put the phone back to his ear. "Please tell me where you are, right now-"
"Kyouya wants to talk to you," Kaoru interrupted and threw the phone toward Kyouya, who made a startled gasp by the sudden change of mind.
"Wait! Kao? Kaoru?" Hikaru called when Kyouya put the phone to his ear.
"Hallo Hikaru," he began, but didn't have a chance to continue before Hikaru started babbling out questions and threats in anger.
"Why do you have my brother behind a dumpster, alone? If he's not drinking then why is he so dopey? What did you give him? I swear I'll hunt you down and-"
"Hikaru, relax, he's fine," Kyouya sighed.
"Where are you? Tell me right now! Right NOW!" Hikaru yelled and Kyouya imagined him stamping his foot in the ground. He looked toward Kaoru. The drugged teen had started to twirl around, and rather ungracefully at that. It would probably be unwise to show Hikaru his current state. He had promised Kaoru a good time after all.
"He'll be back before dawn," Kyouya just murmured. "I'll take care of him."
"Like hell you are-" was all he got to say before Kyouya hung up. Turning off the phone before Hikaru could call again. Just in case.
He put the phone in his own pocket and turned toward Kaoru with a smile.
"Hey Kaoru!"
"What? What?" Kaoru asked and tried to regain balance when he stopped twirling.
"You wanted to go somewhere, right?"
"Yeah! Bring me somewhere!" Kaoru laughed and ran toward Kyouya with a huge smile on his lips. "I want to do everything fun, right now! I want to do something I would never do, something totally and insanely un-Kaoru-ish."
"Hikaru?" Haruhi said, waking up once again, when she heard Hikaru fumble his clothes on. "Where are you going?"
"Kaoru is in trouble," he offered as an explanation.
"What's wrong with him?" Haruhi asked yawning and stretched her arms high in the air.
"Kyouya got him drunk… or high… or both. I don't know, but he needs my help. Kaoru is always getting over-hyper when he's on anything, he could do something- something stupid," Hikaru babbled, almost falling on his face when he pulled his pants on.
"Hikaru, Hikaru relax," Haruhi said, getting out of bed to catch the panicking teenager. He babbled a little more about Kaoru, but she stopped him mid-sentence with a soft kiss.
"Calm down," she whispered as she pulled away. "Kaoru is a big boy, he can take care of himself."
"But-"
"No but," Haruhi sighed and pulled him back toward the bed. "Come lie with me."
"But I just need to-"
"No, Hikaru. Do you even know where he is?" she said, and judging from his expression she could guess that the answer was "no", she smiled. "Would you rather search the town without a trace, or stay here with me?"
Hikaru hesitated, stared at her big brown eyes for another moment. Then decided.
"This is a brilliant idea. Kyou-chan," Kaoru yelled and folded his arms out in excitement. Kyouya mentally cursed by the nickname, he had just made Honey stop using it – but then again; he didn't mind it as much from the drugged twin.
The two rebellious teens stood in front of the store Tattoo world and Kaoru were jumping up and down in excitement. They gave you tattoos and piercings.
"I thought we could start with something simple, like an earring," Kyouya said wisely, but Kaoru shook his head and turned to him. His eyes were pleading.
"No, I want something completely crazy, like… like… like that!" he said and pointed at a picture in the window. Kyouya raised an eyebrow.
"You want snake bites?" he asked stunned. The picture in the window showed a man with two long silver piercing in each side of his bottom lip – which seemed to be the one Kaoru wanted.
"Yes, I want Snaky Bits," Kaoru said excited. Kyouya sighed.
"It's snake bites," he corrected and put a hand on Kaoru's shoulder to make him stand still. "And that's a big step to take, don't you want something more simple?"
"Kyouya," Kaoru said. Kyouya was taken aback in the seriousness in his voice, which were totally different from his childish tone. His back was now turned to Kyouya, his hand resting on the picture of the piercing. "I want something that makes me look different."
The drug seems to be wearing off already, oh well, it's what to expect from the small doses I gave him, Kyouya thought.
"Different from what?" The shadow king asked with a crinkled eyebrow. Kaoru was quiet for a long moment, before he let out a sob.
"From my brother," Kaoru responded, and out of nowhere he grabbed the older teens shirt. Tears streaming down his cheeks as he yelled. "I don't want to see him in the mirror everyday! I want to see me. I want to look different. To forget! Please help me!" Kaoru almost screamed at this point. His fingers shook. "I love him! God, how I love him! But…" his voice turned into a whisper. "I can't do this anymore. I can't be the brother he crawls back to all the time, just to fell better, and then run back to his stupid girlf- girlfriend!" he finally said the words. They hurt even more than he had thought. His fingers slipped around the fabric under his hands, but Kyouya catch his shoulders and held him standing.
"Kaoru," the other boy whispered. Kaoru sobbed a little more, not even paying attention to the bag that he rustled with. "Kaoru!" Kyouya said again and he looked up.
The dark-haired boy had a little bit of powder in his hand and held it toward Kaoru.
"Take it," he said softly and the other teen obeyed immediately.
When he was done he rubbed his nose a little and blinked the tears away.
"Better?" the other teen said and leveled their eyes.
"Ye-yeah," Kaoru muttered and dried his eyes. Kyouya followed the movement with hungry eyes, but controlled himself from raping the overly cute boy, right there, right now. He had never seen someone look so absolutely adorable when they were sad.
"So," he said and the smaller boy looked up, his eyes already looking drugged. "Let's get you some "Shaky Bits", shall we?"
A/N: Argh, don't worry, there'll be more HikaKao soon. ^^ Snake bites - Shaky bits. Get it? ANyway thank you to HeartlessRain for giving me the idea for the snake bites. ^_^/
