Kokoro

The day had finally come. The day where the battles that will decide their future together will be begin soon and Kouji couldn't help but worried about it, worried that the plan that they had come up together for past days turn out fail and make them can't see each other anymore. He didn't want that, the feeling was unbearable. He had closed his heart before, telling him self that he didn't need friends since they will just become nothing but a memory when his father decide to move them again. But the door was opened when he goes to Digital World and fought along the strangers that later turned out to be his best friends and more importantly he could finally meet his brother that he always wish to have before. The very same brother that he might lose again if the plan fail;

Kouji took a glance to the figure beside him, his brother. Ever since they arrived here, none of them say anything and it make him worried. Low sigh escape from his lip as he staring at his own house. How would his brother handle this? How his father would react? Too many questions in mind and he keep wondering, funny he thought that the one who usually worried too much was Kouichi, not him. The thought was cut off when he felt a warm on his hand, blue eyes glanced toward his hand and looked at the owner of the hand that hold his, Kouichi's.

His hand cold despite its summer now and he could see his feet shaking slightly, blue eyes that were once stared at his house now turned down. But Kouji know that wasn't the case, he could feel the nervousness and fear that his brother have. After all, this will be Kouichi first time to encounter his father, father that had abandoned him for ten years and the very same father that had told a lie to Kouji.

He held his brother's hand back silently. Unlike Kouichi he didn't know how to comfort someone not even his brother but he knew Kouichi would understand, and he did. Kouichi's feet stop trembling and low sigh escape from the elder twin's mouth and before Kouji could even open his mouth, he already in his brother embrace. His brother's arm wrapped around his body and his ear just and inch from his own, Kouji could smell the nice fragrance of the shampoo that his brother use, but wait! This wasn't the time to think about his brother's shampoo! He shouted mentally.

"Kou—"

"…a moment."

"Huh?"

"Just let me be like this for a moment," He heard Kouichi's soft voice on his ear, his tone waver slightly. "…just a moment and I will be ready. A moment." He repeated.

"Sure," was the only thing that Kouji could utter as he hugging his brother in return. Usually he would refused if someone hug him in public but since Kouichi need it, he could deal with it besides no one around at this time usually…or hopefully.

The plan was simple, let Kouichi enter the dining room, where his- their father usually read his news paper and drink his coffee, with him stalling behind, readied him self for anything that might be happened later. He led his brother to the dining room while he hiding behind the door that separated the living and dining room.

"Oh, you home, Kouji. Where you've been-" Kousei said from behind the news paper that he held before he lowered it and expect his son to be there, stood in front of him with only table that separated both of them;

Kouji expected his father to be mistook his brother with him though, considering he hadn't see Kouichi for ten years. But what he saw was a surprise, surprises from Minamoto Kousei that always collected about his emotion. Kouji know his father was rarely shown his emotion, his face was as cold as ice most of the time, hide all the the emotion behind. And he could see what it was behind those glasses that his father wore, even from his hiding place. Recognition. He recognized Kouichi.

"Koui—no, it can't be…" he trailed and rose from his chair, the news paper tossed to the side as Kousei approached his son, the son that he thought he couldn't meet again. His eyes turned wide as he stared down at the boy's blue eyes, the same eyes with own son but yet different somehow.

"Good morning, Ot—Minamoto-san." Kouichi bowed politely and corrected him self when he nearly called the man in front of him as 'Otou-san' it wasn't wrong to called him like that, right? After all, he was his son but the word seemed to be corrected itself.

"So it's really you…" Kousei said, the plainness on his tone back and it made both twins worried, worried that their father might drive Kouichi out from Minamoto's residence but it happened otherwise. The tense in the air loosened at the time Kousei pulled his older son and embrace him, the moment that neither of the twins expected as Kouichi's eyes opened wide in surprise so did Kouji's. "Kouichi…my son…" he muttered and pulled Kouichi's body more.

"Otou…-san," The elder twin muttered softly before he return the hug, tears began to felling down to his pale cheek. The tense that he felt on his body was gone as with the tears flew out from his eyes when he shut it as he snuggled into the warmth of his father that he missed so much.

"I miss you, I really miss you, Kouichi." Their father said as he pulled out from the embrace and placed a kiss to his long-lost son's head as he ignored the tear that began to form at the edge of his eyes. "I thought I would never meet you again after that day." He paused when he saw his son sobbed to his body, Kouichi's hand still clutching to his shirt and didn't seemed going to let it go anytime soon. Soft smile formed on the older male as he turned his head toward the door. "Kouji, I know you're there. Come here."

Slowly the younger twin revealed himself from behind the doors and approached his brother and his father with relieved smile on his face.

"I take that both of you had been met and planned this for a long time." He stated and pulled his younger son to the hug party and rubs his sons back fondly. "You both are as sneaky as Tomoko, you know that?" he asked although he didn't need an answer for that matter, it was something obvious after all.

"We've meet for several months now but the plan just came up several days ago," Kouji answer for in his brother's place after he could pulled himself out from the hug party.

"I see, it seems like we need some talk. Let's move to the living room. Kouichi?" Kousei looked down at his older son who's now able to collect him self and pulled himself from his father's body and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

"I-I'm sorry…" he muttered and sniffed, his cheeks turned pink from the cries and embarrassment as well which none of it minded by his father.

"It's fine, I should be the one who's sorry. Come on." He said as he walked together with his sons toward the living room.

"…so that was what happened. I don't hope all of you to forgive me, especially you, Kouji. The lie that I made was too much, I know that. But at least I want both of you know that I never has a heart to abandoned Kouichi or Tomoko. And as far as I concerned, Tomoko as guilty as I am."

The room was fell into silent, both twins looked at each other thoughtfully while Satomi couldn't help but feel sorry for the boys and Tomoko as well, this was her first time to hear that her husband has other son beside Kouji. She should've felt betrayed, but yet she couldn't. She could understand his reason although it just like Kousei had said it; the lie was just too much.

"I forgive you," the soft voice of Kouichi broke the silent on the room, make all eyes turned to him. "'Kaa-san never blame you, never even once I heard she said something bad about you. She always said you're a great man. It just…" he trailed, "looking at her crying, and also how hard she needs to work to make us alive make me think other wise. I thought you abandoned us, especially when I saw you've re-married. I thought you had forgotten about us, about mom…"

"I didn't and I never did, but it just hard to think that I need to tell Kouji about people that he might not be able to see. I should've known the bond between both of you just too great." Kousei let out a sigh and took off his glasses, clean it before he put it back to his face, a habit that he had whenever he need some time to relax him self.

"Does that mean you won't separate us again?" Kouji asked.

"Of course I won't, I'm sure Tomoko would be agreed as well." The older male nodded in affirmative.

"How about the move?"

"Move? Ah, about that…" he trailed.

Both twins looked at him expectantly with their big blue eyes, the very same eyes that looked up to him when they were a lot younger.

"…I will reconsider it and talk with my boss later." He responded after a long pause.

Wide bright smile formed at the twin's face as they high five's each other after he heard the answer from their father, happy that the plan that they formed turned great. And looked at his both sons, Kousei couldn't help but smile as well.

"Time to talk with Tomoko."

Wondered about something? Like how the twins explained their met at their father? And how Kousei explained it all to the twins? Don't worry, it will be revealed in the next chapter~ And...both chapters are un-betaed you you will see lot of errors here and there. I'll try to fix that later when my friend is not busy. :3 Confused? Please ask, because I deleted a lot of scene here to put it into the next chapter so... Yeah. Next chapter is Parents chapter, none of the twin will be appeared, and...full of flashback also.

Thank you for reading and review are always appreciated. ^_^
