Hikaru set the bowl down on the bedside table and sat down next to Kaoru. He brushed his brother's hair back from his face.

"How're you feeling?" He asked as the younger twin looked up at him.

"I feel okay." Kaoru replied weakly.

"Don't lie to me."

"I'm not, I'm just -"

"I can see it in your eyes, you're lying."Hikaru frowned.

"I don't want you to worry " Kaoru tried to push himself up but couldn't.

Hikaru felt his heart drop, he carefully helped his brother up.

"I need you to eat something, then you can have your medicine and I'll let you rest." He said picking up the bowl.

"Hikaru,I'm-"

"Please Kaoru, if it's too hard right now I can help you." Kaoru turned his head to cough. He winced at the pain it caused.

"Kaoru, I'm sorry you're sick like this." The younger boy smiled.

"It's okay, don't worry."

"You really expect me not too?"

"No. I can't expect that from you, I just wish you wouldn't."

"Are you okay to do this by yourself?"

"Yeah,just give me a few minutes." Before he could reply, Hikaru's phone rang

"It's the boss."

"Answer it. I'll be fine."

"If i do, I'm staying in here with you."

"You don't have to."

"Yeah I do." Hikaru held the phone up to his ear.

"Hey boss."

"Hikaru,how's Kaoru feeling?" Tamaki asked.

"Not good, we'll be out a little longer than we planned, Kaoru wasn't responding to the medicine so they gave him a different one. He's real sick."

"Do you want us to do anything for you?"

"No, Kaoru just needs some rest. I'm hoping He gets better fast."

"So are we, the guests are asking about him. "

"You can tell them we'll be back as soon as we can. Kaoru isn't well enough to even think about hosting. I'm not going to let him push himself like that. I know that the club is important to you but-"

"Kaoru's lucky to have someone like you Hikaru. It can't be easy for you to see him sick."

"It's not."

"I should let you be with him. Hikaru?"

"Yeah?"

"If you do need anything, someone to talk to or to help you, just pick up the phone. It doesn't matter what time it is."

"Thanks." Hikaru said before they hung looked back to his brother.

Kaoru had pulled the blanket tightly around himself and was shivering.

"Eat, the soup is warm maybe it will help you." Kaoru agreed and carefully began to stopped a few times to cough but managed to take in almost half of what he was given.

"I'm really proud of you Kaoru." Hikaru put the bowl back on the bedside table and helped Kaoru lie down.

"Try to rest now okay?" Kaoru nodded.

Hikaru moved to the chair and again turned on the tv. Kaoru drifted off to sleep. Hikaru sighed, the voices from the show he had on were no longer enough to drown out his thoughts. He picked up his phone and dialed a number then held it to his ear.

"Hello?" The gently voice answered.

"Hey Boss, can-can we talk?"
