Chapter: 10

This Love

Tongue Tied And Confused

This is how they had found out...they were:

"The two of you are brothers" Mikihisa continued, "It was about time that I told you" What a surprise.

"WHAT"

"So, he's not a crazy Hao fan?" Horo asked, everyone that knew what he meant by that glared and made him shut his mouth.

"Freaky" Joco said, "I never knew you had a twin brother Yoh, That's cool. And you guys look really alike, well except for the hair length…" The boy grinned as Yoh's band member all stood around him. Jun could see everyone's confusion over the situation, and she as well was curious.

"How is it possible that they didn't know they were twins?" She asked.

Mikihisa rubbed his head "Man it's such a long story, Yoh knows it better. He can elaborate later, but as to how they didn't know they were twins, it was a simple reason, they were separated" Mikihisa recalled the day exactly "It was the moment they had been born, Hao was healthy and perfect, cleaned and taken, but Keiko went into labor again and this confused us. Turns out there was a second child in there, and when Yoh was born, he was born with problems"

"What kind of problems?" Jun asked, just to keep him going.

"Breathing mostly" He answered "he had to be transferred to a new hospital, and my parents decided to take him to it, but we never told Hao about his twin, since it could affect his own mental state at being apart from him" Mikihisa shrugged. "Now they are older and Yoh is more adjusted, and I thought it would be nice to see them together"

Yoh remembered, he had met his band down at Northern lights, but then he moved with his grandparents again to Izumo, that was for only a year. In Izumo, with low technology they had made their first CD hit, but then broke apart. His parents were seldom there, and told him to apply for school at Tokyo just to not think about them too much. There he made friends with Manta and continued his schooling.

"I see" Jun said after there was a while of silence.

A maid suddenly came over and walked over to Mikihisa "Sir, your meeting, Lady Keiko is calling you" Mikihisa nodded his head.

"Yes of course" he said as he dismissed her and she left as quickly as she had come to speak to him. He patted Yoh on the back and flashed a smile to everyone "Well, I'll see all of you around!" he called and then left. As soon as he left, everyone had their eyes back on the twins who were not looking at each other at all. Yoh was looking down and Hao was looking to the side, both their expressions were unreadable and cold. Manta was looking at Yoh, wondering if hearing that Hao was really his brother had shocked him too much…after all, they had kissed…

How did Yoh feel about incest? Manta wanted to walk forward and do something, get Yoh's attention, but he was not sure on what to say. All he knew was that he wanted Yoh to be happy no matter what, and this, he feared had hurt his friend. He and Yoh were going to have to talk this out in private, there was no way he was going to let Yoh think about it and kill himself over it. Everything was going to be all right…willing that Hao did not do something rash at the same time.

"So" Joco started out of nowhere "Having a twin must be awesome, right Yoh" Yoh turned to him, a smile quickly appearing on his face along with a good humored chuckle that shocked the hell out of everyone else in the room.

"Sure is Joco" he said and then turned around to face him. His eyes calm again and he looked to be back to his normal self. Fior some reason that angered Hao.

"Alright" Anna said as she stepped forward, right now all she wanted to do was end the ackwardness that sorrounded them. "We don't have time to stand around here and chit chat about twins and nonsense, we have to practice for tomorrow night's live performance. We are officially making it known that the bands are uniting and going on tour" Everyone from the spirit of fire nodded their heads, except for Opacho and Hao.

For now, Hao let it go. "Alright then, let's get on stage!" he hollered. His band all made their way towards the stage and just as he was about to pass Yoh, he said in a low tone "Let's talk, late okay" and without a confirmation he went on stage climbing up with ease. Yoh felt his heart tighten and a blush threatened to spread his face as he thought, maybe there was still hope and these news did not matter at all.

The Oversouls were busy looking at the band that was going on stage to pay attention to what had just happened. "Hello Jun" Anna said in a feisty tone "I did not think that you would be here, with such a started band"

"Oh believe me, out of both bands, mine is the best Anna, don't kid yourself" Jun said in an indifferent tone, as she brought out her fan and kept it under the lower part of her face. Her eyes flattered and Bailong soon came to wrap and arm around her waist.

"As if" Anna said, she was always competitive with any other female that stepped into her field "This is what a real band sounds like" She smirked and turned to her band "Alright, all of you get it started!" she snapped. Hao on stage flipped her off.

"I say when we start" He smirked as she fumed. Jun decided to ignore her.

"They are aggressive," Eliza said and Faust shrugged. Yoh turned around and looked at the band now on stage, taking in what Hao was wearing. He had on a white shirt that fit baggy on him with long sleeves. On the sleeves, he had a weird design of a metal half pentagon shaped loop with a black belt that rased down his arm in a lose manner and then had a weird loop shaped pin that clasped at the wrist of the shirt. It looked like a belt on going down on his arm. He had on grey jeans with zigzagging design that raced down the front of his leg, the back of his legs in a thicker black stitching, around his thigh, and over the bottom by his ankles. At his feet, he had black shoes on. His hair was neat and long past his lower back, and his bangs framed his face beautifully. And on his ears he had large earrings.

Hao looked stunning, Yoh thought solely to himself. He could never pull something off like that. Admidamaru walked over to Yoh as the music started and said "Yoh, there is something I want to talk to you about" Yoh nodded his head and both started to walk out of there.

Hao noticed this as the music started. He did not want Yoh to leave, he wanted to keep him in his line of sight, but it was only for a moment, he thought to himself.

Never broke a promise, now we are at our end

I need to beg you to stay by my side

Almost feels like I'm about to die,

Ohh, this pain, I love it, I love it

I welcome it to me, the shattered heart that you left me with

Bare my chest to its void

Wound upon wounds, it tearing me whole,

Yoh and Admidamaru walked outside. Admidamaru led Yoh through the palace small area, since neither knew it to well and did not want to lose sight of the studio. They just walked to the nearby Sakura tree and sat down, in silent quiet. "Yoh. There is this one guy that I have fallen for, and well, I really don't know anyone that would be more accepting from this idea than you. So, I want to ask you, do you know how one asks another out? I mean, I've never even seen a relationship start" Admidamaru was talking fast and in a panicked way.

"Calm down Admidamaru" Yoh said with a small chuckle. "To tell you the truth though, I'm no good at relationships either. I always say the wrong thing and tend to ruin things in the end…at least I think so" Admidamaru shook his head and placed a hand over Yoh's.

"No, Yoh, you are great"

"Thanks, so" Yoh said as he leaned back and laid down "Who is this guy, do I know him?" Admidamaru blushed and looked away.

"Well, you do" he said.

Yoh chuckled "You are so predictable, is it…oh I don't know…Mosuke?"

"YOH!" Yoh laughed and shook his head.

"Just go for it, you guys will be perfect"

"Really?" Yoh nodded. Admidamaru smiled.

Later that night, Yoh was in his room and he was looking up at the sky. There had been no chance to talk with Hao, but he was thinking about what his father had said. "My brother" Yoh whispered. He shook his head and looked down at his hands.

Was it possible that he knew it was wrong, yet at the same time, he did not care? To him, Hao was not like his brother, but more like someone, he met…and he took a liking to. It was hard to say that he had kissed his brother, though it was true and he could say it, but he would do it again in a heartbeat if he were allowed the chance…But then…what if they had never kissed, and met that night, what if they had just met now…what would be his thoughts…

"I probably would have never gone there," he admitted. Maybe things, as he always believed in his leisure kind of way, always happened for a reason. "But would Hao had gone there?" he wondered. "And would have I accepted it?" The sudden knock on his door startled him and he stood up as soon as he was out of his shock. Talking to your self was never a good thing. He walked over to the door and opened it. For a moment, he was confused until he glanced down. "Hey Manta, come in"

"Hey Yoh, how are you" Manta asked as he walked in and looked around the spacious room. It was beautiful.

"I'm fine" Yoh said and then gestured for them to go to the balcony outside where a small table and three chairs were.

"How are you taking the news about you twin, I saw the hurt" Manta said "Must really suck to be thinking about Hao in that way, hoping to see him again and start something, to learn this"

"I guess" Yoh shrugged and then he huffed. His thoughts could not be sane nor justified. "Manta, what would you have done or thought, if you were in my position. Fall for someone, and then learn that you are related to them"

"Truth be told to bold honesty Yoh, I wouldn't be able to do it. I'd break it off, and break all romantic ties to that person"

"Even if you truly loved them"

"Even then Yoh, I would not be able to bare knowing they are related to me, but then again, I don't know what you are truly feeling" Yoh sighed and looked to the side.

"I guess," he said. "Man"

"Well, what do you want Yoh?" Manta asked.

"In all honesty?" Yoh sighed and Manta nodded his confirmation to that respond "I want to be with Hao, more than just brothers, like we were when we didn't know" Yoh admitted, blushing a light pink and attractive color. Manta smiled at him.

"I don't like incest, but if it makes you happy, then go for it Yoh" Yoh nodded his head with a slight smile. Yeah, he would be with Hao no matter what. After that, both friends talked for a long while, before they noticed that it was late already, ten o clock and Manta left to his own room. Yoh on the other hand, still could not sleep.

As soon as the clock struck twelve, he had enough and he walked out of his room.

¡HaoYohHaoYoh!

Hao was down stairs in the kitchen, it was late, but he had to look over some band stuff along with some registrations to his new school. He had decided to go to Izumo state university, that way, as he traveled, he would just study in the program from abroad and go from campus from campus depending on where they landed next. Best of all, his father was not coming on this tour. That made Hao very happy. Just as he stood up to grab himself some milk, he noticed that someone else entered the kitchen.

There was a short silence, but finally Hao decided to say something to break the ice.

"Hi"

"Hey"

Both twins stood there in a moment of more silence. Yoh made the first move this time, as he walked into the kitchen and took a seat opposite the one Hao seemed to be working in. "Do you want some milk Yoh?" Hao decided to ask when he saw that his twin was not going to run. For that matter even mention anything about them being twins.

"Sure" Yoh said. He waited until Hao handed him his milk and then Hao sat down beside him. After a short while, Yoh decided to speak again. "So, what do you think, about us being twins, that is" Yoh asked, a sad look on his face as he took a sip of his milk.

Hao had not been expecting Yoh to talk about it so soon, but smiled and drank some of his milk "I think it was kind of a given, with us looking alike an all. Other than that, I really don't care" Yoh looked over to Hao, and Hao smiled even more to him.

"So, chances of us being together have not be jeopardized?" Yoh asked, and nearly bit his tongue in the process. He was never able to keep his mouth shut, Hao was probably not even thinking about that anymore.

"Well, you rejected the Idea of us being together back then, I'm still waiting to see if we are" Hao asked "So, you're ready to be my boyfriend" Yoh nodded his head quickly and Hao raised a brow, as if asking what he meant by that.

"Yes, I am" Yoh looked to the side "But what would your band members think, and everyone else. They all know for sure that we are related, what we will be committing is incest…not that I really care actually" And the fact that he did not care, bothered Yoh a little. He should be disgusted right? However, right now he was content with the fact that Hao was also open to having a romantic relationship with him. Hao on the other hand, was happy right now, to him nothing else mattered but Yoh.

"Who cares, they are friends for a reason" Yoh nodded his head. He drank the last of his milk quickly startling Hao who watched Yoh slam the cup back down on the table as soon as he was finished. Yoh whipped his mouth with the back of his hand and started to stand up.

"Alright then" Yoh said, "I'm going to bed, I'll see you in the morning" Before Yoh could leave, he was pulled back by the end of his shirt and he blushed when he felt Hao behind him, an arm around his waist and Hao's head on his shoulder. It seemed like that was something he did not even know how to start yet, but Hao seemed to know what he was doing. Hao…he always seemed to have some control over him…right now, Yoh would not dare move away.

He did not want to.

"You really just want to leave without giving me my goodnight kiss?" Hao whispered into his ear, a tender gesture that sent pleasure shivers down Yoh's spine. One hand that was on Yoh's waist, reached under Yoh's shirt and started to play with the soft flesh on Yoh's stomach and then Hao let his tongue lash a gentle lick to the back of Yoh's ear. Yoh's body shivered at the feel of someone touching his body that had never been touched this way before.

Yoh could not describe the feeling, but he liked it. It was sick, in a way, it was addicting on another level, and it was so good all over. "Ahhmm" He moaned and blushed, when he felt Hao's hand fondle his nipple. "Hao…stop, not here, not right now…" Hao smirked, hiding it behind Yoh's nape and taking in the sweet scent of Yoh's hair as it hit his face. The boy in his arms was just so soft and so willing, he was so desirable, and Hao was so attracted. He loved touching this soft flesh, he loved hearing that voice…he wanted to hear Yoh sing again.

"Everyone asleep Yoh, relax" Hao said in a low whisper. Yoh reached his hand towards Hao's and pull Hao's hand away just so he could turn around to face his twin. As he did this, he found his lips captured in a gentle yet firm kiss. This caused him to immediately melt into Hao's arms as he brought up his own arms and wrapped them over Hao's shoulders and neck, to pull him closer and deepen the kiss even more. The need to taste and feel was great, as if they had not kissed in over a decade, when it had only been a few months.

Hao's tongue just then came out searching, pocking in between Yoh's lips, as Yoh opened his lips automatically to let his twin into his hot mouth. Both moaned as their tongues came into contact once more.

The kiss was wet and a little sloppy, from the desperate need to get more into the other's mouth. But both were enjoying themselves too much to care about many things, especially since Yoh kept fighting to bite down on Hao's lips, who, on the other hand was having fun nipping at Yoh's own lips, that only seemed the more eager and pliant to get nipped at. Both soon pulled away for lack of oxygen. "Wait here" Hao said as pecked Yoh's lips one more time and then he went over to the mess of papers that he had and his laptop. Yoh tilted his head still in a daze as he watched Hao.

He yawned as soon as Hao was done packing his things. Hao was amused as he smirked "Alright sleepy head, let's go to bed"

"Where?" Yoh asked, as he let Hao lead him away. He kept glancing back to look at Hao, his lips still tingling from the kiss, and he still wanted to keep kissing Hao even more.

"My room" Hao said and smiled when Yoh would look over to him and blush slightly and look forward again. Yoh nodded his head as he yawned once again. Soon they reached Hao's room and both went to sleep, snuggled up to each other.

"Good night" Hao said and Yoh nodded his head with his eyes already close, his arms around Hao as he slept with his head over Hao's shoulder. Hao smiled and pulled Yoh closer as he turned to his side, and they both stayed close to each other in a tight embrace.

For the first time in their lives, both were truly happy.
