Chapter Two: Thoughts of the heart
Kaoru woke up the next morning wrapped in his brother's arms, like he had for the past week. Kaoru heard "mmh" signaling to him that his brother was now waking up and he looked at the clock in a panic.
'Shit I'm late' Kaoru mentally screamed at himself getting out of the bed trying hard not to make any noise. As Kaoru started to dress his brother got up and yawned.
'SHIT!'
"Kaoru?" Hikaru asked slightly disoriented from just waking up "Are you alright? You look pale." He rubbed his eyes and looked at his twin with bleary golden eyes as he grabbed his clothes for school.
Kaoru turned to his brother and plastered a smile to his face "Yes I'm fine." Kaoru stated before turning to finish getting ready for school, his eyes widened as he caught a glimpse for a smirk on his twins face but he ignored it, hoping it was not related to him.
Kaoru watched as Hikaru left to get into the shower before letting out the breath he was holding. 'Whew that was close. I should be more careful.' Kaoru thought while finishing up in the bedroom and going down to breakfast. Ten minutes later the eldest twin came down to eat quickly then go off to school they went.

'One week, One day, Four hours, and 12 minutes since I told him and we've changed so much already.' Hikaru thought watching his twin on the other side of the room. 'Does he hate me that much now? Does he hate me because I love him? If that's true why does he sneak into bed with me at night? Why Karou?' He thought to himself as he continued to watch his twin with saddened curiosity.
Kaoru was talking to Renge about the "brotherly love" act and what was going on when he felt a stare on his back. Slightly turning his head he noted that it was Hikaru that was causing the tingles to go up and down his spine. 'What the hell?' Kaoru thought to himself 'Why is he staring at me like that? It's almost as if he's...sad. Hikaru looks like he's going to cry!'
Without thinking it through Kaoru rushed to his twins' side "Hikaru! Hikaru are you alright? What's wrong?" Kaoru asked pulling his brother into deep hug. Hikaru blinked in surprise and tried to get out of the embrace "Nothing is wrong Kaoru. Everything is just fine" Hikaru stated finally getting free of Kaoru's grasp.
"Why would there be ANYTHING wrong with me? We fight ALL the time right? There is NOTHING to get worked up about right? Ignoring your sibling is OK though right? Leaving your twin ALONE is perfectly FINE! H-hurting me is j-just fine r-right?" Hikaru screamed and broke into tears "W-why? Why don't y-you love m-me? What d-did I do w-wrong?"
Kaoru jumped back as if he was smacked "W-what? Hikaru what are you t-" Kaoru froze as realization kicked in. 'It's because of ME. I made my brother cry!' "I-I'm sorry Hikaru I-I didn't mean to hurt you like that I just. I'm not ready for a- well... It's not you it's me and I'm so so sorry." Kaoru finished backing up until he reached the double doors and then did the last thing any thought he would do. He turned and ran away from his brother leaving him in tears and all alone.
Hikaru hadn't talked to him last night, not even when Kaoru had asked him for the homework assignment. That night was the only night in more than 17 years that Kaoru had not slept in bed with his twin. The next day Kaoru didn't even bother going to school, pretending to be sick. When he told his mother he was sick and was staying home Hikaru turned and left without a word.
The whole day Kaoru spent lying in his twin's bed. 'Why? Why can't I just tell him? I care I really do so why can't I just say so?' Kaoru hugged Hikaru's pillow close to him and sighed "I hate myself." Kaoru whispered before falling into a peaceful sleep with the scent of his brother surrounding him.
"KAORU! WHAT THE HELL?!"
