Outside description: Hikaru disappeared that day. Everyone thinks he is dead, but I refuse to believe that this is true. My brother is still out there, and he is alive. HikaruxKaoru
Speaking to Silence: Chapter Three - Twincest begins here
Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran high school host club. I own my OC's though.
Kaoru's POV:
"Hikaru!" I objected. "It's too soon!" I tried to stop my twin from getting out of bed. I was afraid of him hurting any more than what he was already enduring.
Hikaru shook his head. "If I'm getting out of this place, I'm going to walk." I understood. I knew he didn't like being in a hospital. It was really boring, but recovery was essential.
I smiled. "Then I'll help you..." I had been here every waking moment. I ate the disgusting hospital food, and ignored having to go to Ouran. I was vouched for by Mom anyway. It was like a shock recovery vacation of sorts
He slung his arm around my shoudler, cringing at the pain in his side. I steadied him, and he began making slow steps. "Well that's good." He stated, relieved.
I started getting into his mind again. At first, it was like he was a completely different person. He didn't talk much and was always so distant. His eyes remained clouded over like he wasn't even sure I was here, and it was hard for me to bear. I had him right there with me, yet he wasn't at the same time.
It was around five o' clock now, and there was a knock at the door. Haruhi poked her head in. "Hey guys." She greeted. "I don't know if it helps, but I brought you boxed lunches." She put her hand to her mouth in thought. "Then again, you guys are rich so you probably eat better usually, but it's beats hospital food." She waited for me to lead Hikaru back to the bed.
As he slowly sat down, she handed me the lunches. "Thanks Haruhi." I nodded my head.
She sat down. "So is Hikaru doing okay?" She asked, tilting her head curiously.
"I'm fine." Hikaru stated. He glanced at me, and I gave him a friendly glance back. He didn't do anything, but just gazed at the floor. Apparently all the extra attention was too much for him, and he wasn't sure how to take it.
"So has your mom been in at all?" Haruhi asked.
"Of course not." I shook my head. "She has work to do for the fashion industry so she couldn't make it in. She has called though."
Haruhi nodded, seeming to understand. "I'll talk to the both of you later. I have homework to do." She smiled, and turned to walk out the door.
I nodded, waving at her. "It doesn't feel right." Hikaru muttered softly.
"Huh?" I questioned.
"All that time in solitude, and now everyone is back in my life again like it never happened. It doesn't feel right." Hikaru stared spacily out the window.
"Hikaru..." I whispered. I went over and sat on my brother's bedside. "I'm sure you'll be able to accept it. It's just shock."
"I know." He started. "I know that..."
I wanted to comfort him, and he was still so distant. I edged myself up the bed and close to his body. Careful of his injuries, I laid my head gently on his shoulder.
"Kaoru..." He started, but didn't finished. He placed a hand on my head, and we just stayed like that for several seconds.
I lifted my head up, meeting his eyes. They weren't hard to express emotion like I remembered them to be. His eyes had changed. They had become much softer in this moment. I blushed. "I'm sorry, Hikaru..." I backed up, sitting in the chair across the room. closing my eyes, I warily fell asleep.
Hikaru's P.O.V.
The morning sun danced around my face. I slowly lifted my face up off the ground, taking in my surroundings. How I would have given anything to have made yesterday's events just a nightmare. So this was my cage? I even had bars on all escape routes. I guess he wasn't kidding whe he said I was going to be his dog. A fear climbed into my chest. "Kaoru..." I whispered, clenching my fists.
A bang jolted my senses as a pot hit the bars on the door. "Good morning rich kid!" A sing songy voice filled into the air. "I'm the boss's henchmen, Haitako." I looked up to see a sickeningly skinny man with greasy long black hair, folding his arms and leaning on the other side of the door frame. "I'll be your waiter, if you please." He took a foot, shoving a plate of something at me. "Eat up!" He snickered, prancing up from the cellar where I lay. the food was just enough to keep me alive. I noted, but I would have to bear it until I found a way out of here.
The food was disgusting. It stooped far below commoner's level. It was the work of scum. I almost barfed looking at it, but I had to stay alive...Taking up a piece of the globs on bread, I put it in my mouth. It was disgusting, but it would have to do. I forced a swallow.
My room consisted of an old ripped up blanket, some dusty books in a corner, a rusty sink and toilet, and some shards of broken glass. I incased a shard of glass in my hands. It was really big and sharp so I had to be careful. Falling back on my knees I gazed at my reflection, setting the glass up in the corner. I imagined it was Kaoru, and that he was here with me now. Pressing my hand to the glass, I closed my eyes. My chest was heaving with pain. It was so empty. I wanted to see my brother...
..........
"Kaoru!" I yelled, sitting up in bed.
"Hikaru!" Kaoru scrambled over to me.
"It was just a nightmare..." I murmured, reassuring him. In truth, I was drenched in sweat.
Kaoru stared at me sympathetically and longingly. "Hikaru..." He whispered. He took me into a hug.
I held on tight, afraid to let go. What if I did, and he was nothing more than a reflection? What if my escaping was a dream. It terrified me. I closed my golden eyes tight, opening them and making sure I was still here. I was. Good. I managed to let go of Kaoru, and leaned back. "You know, when we get back, I want to meet the new host club members." I stated, attempting a grin. "Not as good as the orignals, but I'm sure they're not boring."
Kaoru shrugged, relieved to see me acting in character. I was trying."Well there's Kiato, Ootsuru, Iami, and Mikatske. Mikatske is the new best. He portrays Tamaki's part pretty well, but he's not as idiotic."
I laughed. No one beat Tamaki..."Kaoru, thank you." I stated.
"Hello you two." Greeted a familair voice. We both looked up.
"Oh, Nurse Kurumi." Kaoru greeted.
"I'm just in to take vitals." she admitted "The doctor told me to, and it is my job." She smiled, pulling out a stethoscope. "So, this will just take one moment."
