Chapter3: Hopeless (Hikaru)
It was two days ago that my brother fell asleep on the 3rd floor music room. And since then I've noticed him getting worse and worse. I've had to keep him from falling asleep in class and at lunch so he doesn't face plant into his food. But it hasn't been only me to notice. Everyone in the club and Nekozawa has picked up that something is wrong with him. But none of us have been able to figure it out.
Usually I would hold off talking with him until after we got home, but My Lord, after a chat with Nekozawa, asked me to try and solve it now. So now we're standing here in a deserted bathroom staring at each other.
"Kaoru, why won't you tell me what is wrong?" I'm going straight to the point so we can get back to the club faster. "I know you poke your head into my room in the middle of the night but I don't know why. I want to help you, we all do, but we can't unless you tell us what is bothering you."
"Its nothing you need to worry about," Kaoru snapped.
The bitterness in his voice hurts me, but I let it pass for now. "Kaoru since when have you stopped telling me everything. It's clear to all of us that something is wrong, and you are my brother, my twin, I want to help no matter what the problem."
I watch Kaoru turn his gaze to the floor. The eye contact must be getting to him "Please Hikaru, just don't worry about it. I'll be fine."
I can tell he's lying. It's like he wants to tell me, but is truly terrified to say anything. I hate to do this but I have to get forceful with him. So I glare and start to hiss. "I know you are lying. Now tell me what is going on."
I see a single tear roll down his beautiful pale face as he looks up at me. The fear he has seemed to double in that instant.
"Kaoru, why are you crying?" I ask and wipe the tear away.
"I…it's…I…um…" Kaoru's eyes rolled back slightly as he passed out. I feel helpless as he falls into my arms. I guess his body has finally given up and gave into the sleep it so desperately needs.
"Don't worry Kaoru; I'll take care of you. You just sleep for now." I carefully sling my twin over my shoulder and make two calls as we walk the hallways. One was to Tamaki to say that we wouldn't be there today and the other was to our driver so he could pick us up outside the school doors.
When we got home, Kaoru was still out cold, so I carried him up to his room and sat by his bed waiting for him to wake up.
"I'm sorry my brother. I can't help but think that this is my fault. And I hope you tell me once you wake up." I place a soft kiss on his forehead before digging into my school bag and grab some homework. I do have a long wait and it only makes sense to get something done.
