Chapter 11
Okay, so I made A LOT of changes. This is one of them. I kind of cut and edited the last two chapters. I only got one review on the last chapter that I put up by Christmas time, so I'm really hoping you guys review this chapter! P.S. There is romance in the future for sure, now that I figured out the outline and stuff~!
Ahegh
The younger Hitachiin gave a cough, shuddering his body. His older brother gave him a worried glance, but Kaoru passed it off as merely clearing his throat, and bent over to pick up his pencil from the ground.
Hikaru looked away, not entirely convince that his brother was okay, when all of a sudden his body was wracked with coughs. Oh, shit, he thought, realizing he now had a cold too.
Glancing around the room, he realized that they weren't alone. The maids were in there. He gave a little shudder, recalling the mess they had so graciously left in their bedroom. Hikaru made eye contact with Kaoru, and then jerked his head, signaling that he wanted to talk privately. He let his twin telepathy do the rest.
"What's up-" Kaoru asked, ending his sentence with a cough.
"Okay, we're not stupid, we both realize we're coming down with a cold, right?"
Kaoru raised his eyebrows in mock surprise, trying to suppress another cough.
"Come on, Kaoru, we both know it, stop being stupid. You have a cold, and so do I. Now let's just go to bed, I'm sick of acting."
With that, the boys crawled into their oversized bed, now freshly cleaned and laundered by another set of maids.
"Dammit, Kaoru, you've got a fever," said Hikaru, feeling his brother's forehead. His worried look pained his brother, who couldn't stand to see his twin not smiling.
"I'm fine, Hikaru, stop being a mother." Kaoru pushed Hikaru's hand away, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly. He rolled over away from Hikaru and fell soundly asleep.
