Notes
10: Storm

A loud clap of thunder sounded outside sending the younger, very alone Hitachiin under the blankets piled on his bed with a panicked yelp. A bright streak of lightening followed that lighting the room up completely for a split second. The redhead whimpered quietly and wrapped the blanket around him tighter, covering his face with his arms and bringing his knees to his chest.

"Hi-Hika…" he whimpered closing his eyes.

Hikaru had decided that today he would hang out with Tamaki instead of his twin and he knew perfectly well that there was a storm today, Kaoru was sure f it. He didn't care about his younger brother anymore.

Kaoru was alone in the huge mansion, besides the cooks and maids that had been purposely locked out of his room. His parents were both on business trips and Hikaru was out of the house for the rest of the day. And, of course, today just had to be the day that it decided to storm.

"Go back to sleep, Kaoru; it'll all be over when you wake up." Hikaru's voice echoed in his mind in its usually calming voice. "I'll be right here…"

Kaoru shook his head as tears sprang to his eyes. He tried to regulate his breathing but the attempt was futile. Another clap of thunder brought the tears tumbling down his cheeks. "No you won't." he answered the sweet voice that kept repeating in his mind. "You've forgotten about me. Tamaki is more important because he is your boyfriend." His hands balled into fists around the tears stained sheets.

Suddenly the doors opened slamming against the wall behind them. Kaoru cried out as yet another clap of thunder sounded followed by a flash of lightening. Arms encircled the trembling redhead and he almost immediately relaxed into the strong hold.

"I'm sorry I left you alone, Kaoru. I didn't know how bad this storm was going to get. When I heard that it was raining I should've stayed home with you… I'm so sorry." Hikaru slid under the blankets and stroked his younger brother's soft red hair. He kissed his brother's temple and forehead. "Go to sleep, Kaoru. It'll all be over when you wake up. I'll be right here with you." The reassuring words calmed Kaoru's frayed nerves the rest of the way until the thoughts from earlier had been pushed away into the back of his mind.

"How can I tell that you aren't just saying that?" Kaoru asked looking up to meet his brother's soft hazel eyes. "How can I make sure that you really will still be here?"

Hikaru wrapped his pale arms around the twin's waist securely. His warm and minty breath ghosted across Kaoru's cheeks. "I promise." He whispered as the other of the two snaked his arms around the older Hitachiin's neck.

A/N: Awe such a cheesy/ cute ending. So recently I've discovered Cinema Bizarre (what is it with me and German bands?) and I think that this song represents I Don't Believe (Which is weird because I just found this song and this chapter was already been written down.)

Especially the chorus:

"I don't believe in anything
Anything if your not with me
I don'T believe in anything
Anything cause you're not with me
I don't believe in anything
Anything if your not with me
I don'T believe in anything
Anything cause you're not with me."

Pretty easy to tie along, ja?

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club or any of the characters used in the series. Obviously if I did This would have actually happened and I wouldn't waste my time on fanfiction.

"I don't see why people add disclaimers in their stories. I mean obviously they don't own it or they would be multimillionaires that actually did something with their life instead of writing things for fanfiction. If they actually owned all of this shit then it would've happened and they wouldn't even bother to think about this dumbass website." – One of my friends on disclaimers.
