Notes
4: Dots
A five year old Hikaru Hitachiin blinked at the sight of his younger twin brother who was kicking blankets off of his small body. Kaoru had just been diagnosed with, by their personal house doctor, with the chicken pox and both boys were none too excited about that statement. It meant that Hikaru wouldn't have someone to talk to for the next few days.
"Is Kao-chan gonna die?" Hikaru asked as he walked out of the room and towards his mother, Yuzuha Hitachiin's, studio. "He won't die, will he?" he repeated peeking through the studio doors. The thought of what he just said sent him into hysterics. "Kao-chan can't die!"
The mother laughed and shook her head. "He'll be just fine, Hikaru. Don't worry." She said as the model before her turned so that she could pin a piece of the dress she was currently working on. "He just needs rest."
"Why can't Hika-chan see Kao-chan?" he asked innocently as he walked into the studio and stared pointedly at a bouquet multicolor flowers. He quickly pulled a stool over to the vase and began to rearrange the flowers. "Hika-chan promises he won't get sick!" he smiled sweetly turning his huge innocent amber eyes towards his mother.
His mother sighed. "Hikaru, please don't talk in third person." She murmured. "You can't see him because he's contagious and I don't want both of my boys to be sick!"
Hikaru didn't understand. "But Hika-chan misses Kao-chan!" he yelled back nearly snapping the stem of a white lily in his hands. He quickly fled the room grabbing a red permanent marker on his way out. He flew down the hall to his and his brother's shared room and sat down on the small twin sized bed next to Kaoru.
"Hika-chan…" Kaoru greeted smiling. "Kao-chan missed Hika-chan." His amber eyes slipped shut before the popped back open. "Hika-chan will be in trouble when Momma finds him with Kao-chan." It came out as a scared whisper filled with concern for his brother.
Hikaru dropped the flower to the ground completely forgetting about its presence. "Momma won't know. Hika-chan will be sick too!" He smiled and held out the red marker. His kind smile turned into a victorious smirk. "Shhh… don't tell her that I took this, 'kay?"
Kaoru nodded, eyes wide before grabbing the marker and dotting his brother on his face arms and abdomen.
"Now Hika-chan has chicken dots too!" Hikaru grinned.
Both boys smiled proud, identical smiles.
"Kao-chan heard the doctor say that people can only get them once" Kaoru mumbled as Hikaru crawled under the covers with him. They mirrored the same poses lying on their stomachs propped up on their elbows.
A knock was heard at the door and their mother walked in. "What am I going to do with you?" she sighed and shook her head. "You aren't getting out of bed then you two."
The twins stayed in bed all week.
The next week, Hikaru caught his brother's sickness and Kaoru stayed in bed with him all week. Being immune had its big advantages.
