Chapter 4

Fight

(3rd POV - Hikaru)

Hikaru wanted nothing more but to go back to his brother's side. He didn't want to hear what the boy in front of him was about to say. Truth be told, Hikaru had no idea why he was so angry. There was just something about Adrian that irked up. Hikaru remembered the words that Adrian said the other day. Those were words he and his brother had always wanted to hear. No one had ever been able to tell them apart or had really told them something like this. He could tell that this guy had put a lot of effort in distinguishing them. Why did it make up so pissed off? Are maybe it was fear that he was feeling. Fear that someone else would step inside the world they had built for the two of them for so many years. Was he ready to let someone else in? He truly wasn't.

He crossed his arms over his chest and glared at the blue-haired boy, "What?"

Hikaru watched as Adrian's lips twisted into a frown, "Why are you so mad at me? What did I do? Did I say something to piss you off?"

He looked away, "Where do you go off?"

"Huh?"

He turned a heated glare into light blue pools, "Where do you go off saying some stupid shit about how Kaoru and I are different when you don't even know who you are?" The stunned expression on Adrian's face told him that he had struck a nerve. "You are different from what you pretend to be on the screen. You're just a big faker. Do you even know who you are?" He watched as Adrian's teeth tensed and his fists clenched at his side. He knew he was getting under his skin. "Maybe you've played so many characters you don't even know who you are anymore."

What am I doing? He couldn't help but think. It wasn't like he hated Adrian. But the words just kept stumbling out of his mouth as if he had no control over them.

"How are you any different?" Adrian asked him with a sharp glare.

Hikaru had to step back in surprise at the fierceness in Adrian's eyes, "What?"

"The act you and your brother play," Adrian started, "The whole twincest thing is all an act. Sure, you both are close to each other but it isn't really romantic. If it was it be sick!" There was a look of disgust that flashed in his eyes before he looked away.

"That isn't any of your business," Hikaru started as he stared daggers at the boy who now was looking at the floor, "At least we don't lie to the whole world about who we are." Hikaru's breath caught in his throat as Adrian snapped his head back up to stare at him.

Don't tell me he is about to cry, he thought as he stared at tearful blue eyes. It seemed like Adrian was trying to keep his tears inside. Why is my chest hurting looking at him like that?

"You think…" Adrian started, closing his eyes to take a deep breath to whisper, "...this is what I want?" Hikaru wasn't sure what to say or react. Blue eyes stared at him with the same intensity as before, "I don't want to hide who I am but I have to. If I don't then I will lose everything I love. And I can't..." his voice broke, "...I can't lose him again…" Adrian shook his head stepping forward, causing Hikaru to look at him with wide eyes, "I would lose myself over and over again if it meant I could stay in his life."

Hikaru was stunned into silence. He couldn't help but see himself in Adrian at that moment. He would do anything for his twin brother. He wasn't sure if he could live without him and the thought of never seeing him again was unfathomable. He remembered in Adrian's interview the other day that the boy had lost his best friend for a few years when he was adopted and had to move to Japan. Hikaru's stomach was tied into knots. Adrian was similar to him in some ways. His love for his brother and Adrian's love for his best friend were the same. They would do anything for them.

However, something didn't feel right about how Adrian spoke. Why would he had to lie about who he is to be with his best friend? Something was off about this whole thing. He couldn't help ask, "Even take your best friend's personality during interviews? You sounded just like him the other night," Hikaru was surprised at how Adrian visibly paled at his words. This only made him more suspicious and curious. He suddenly found himself wanting to know more about him. He smirked as he stepped forward. He was amused as Adrian would continue to step back to provide them with space until the boy's back hit the wall. "You're hiding something. What is it?" he placed a hand at the side of Adrian's head and leaned in, "You can tell me." Teasing Adrian was more amusing then he thought.

Is he really blushing? Could he actually be gay? He pondered then thought as he watched the boy look away from him.

"Have you ever heard of personal space, Hikaru?" Adrian muttered under his breath.

"I don't know," he started before straightening up, "You look really cute when you blush."

Adrian's head snapped up, "I am not blushing! And I'm not cute!"

Hikaru was stunned at Adrian's outburst. For a minute there he thought that Adrian sounded like a girl. I must have imagined it. Adrian's face was red with anger. Hikaru suddenly burst out laughing as he pointed at the angry boy, "Haha. You're hilarious!" He was laughing so hard that his sides began to ache and tears formed in his eyes.

This marked the moment that Hikaru was intrigued to know more about Adrian and whatever secrets he might be hiding. He was going to be keeping a close eye on him from now on. And it wouldn't hurt to tease him every now and again to see him so flustered again. The anger Hikaru had felt the last few days had been forgotten and replaced by amusement and curiosity.

"Are we good now?" Adrian asked him once everything had settled down between them.

Hikaru nodded his head, trying to keep his laughter inside, "Better than good." This is going to be fun. He was already excited about the kinds of things he could do especially with the help of his brother. Adrian wouldn't know what hit him.

(Aiden's POV)

I was the first one to step out of what I figured was a changing room of some sort. My heart was still beating loudly in my chest at the conversation I had with Hikaru. He had taken me off guard more than just once. I had almost cried because his words had struck me as if a knife had been stabbed into my chest. He wasn't wrong. I was deceiving everyone. It wasn't what I wanted but I had no choice if I wanted to be part of Adrian's life. I would do anything and everything for him. I had meant the words I spoke to Hikaru.

The other time he had taken me off guard was when he stepped forward, cornering me. I felt his stare pierce into me and I feared he found out what I had been hiding. It was also the first time we were alone together. His close proximity to me was embarrassing. I wasn't sure where to look. The scent of his light cologne had invaded my noise, putting my senses on overdrive. He had been too close. I had even felt his breath on my face. I was positive he could hear my heart beating against my chest.

I sighed as I made my way to the others. I was lucky he didn't find out. I was lucky to have made it out alive and with my secret intact. I had somehow managed to get him to stop being angry at me too.

Haruhi smiled at me, "Everything okay, Adrian?"

I nodded at her before turning to look at the twins, "Yeah. I think so." I turned back to her, "What's wrong?"

She frowned at me, "What?"

"You seem nervous," I informed her as I leaned my weight on one foot, "What did we miss when we were talking?"

She scratched the back of her head, "Well…"

"We are having a party, Yuki-chan!" Haninozuka said with excitement as he suddenly stood beside me with his wide.

"A party?" I asked as I looked back to Haruhi who seemed even more stressed out. "I'm guessing you don't want to go to it."

She looked away, muttering under her breath with sarcasm, "What gave you that idea?"

"It is mandatory for all members to attend. Including you, Adrian," Ootari informed me. I looked at him as he turned to look at me, "I trust that your schedule has opened for the foreseeable future?"

I shrugged, "From what I know, I just have a gig after summer vacation. But that could change."

He quirked a brow, "A 'gig'?"

I nearly slapped myself on the forehead. That was not what my brother would have said. "Y-yeah. You know… The new movie I will be in…" I felt sick to my stomach.

"I see," he says as he stared at me for a few more seconds before looking away. I almost sighed in relief. I had screwed up. Hopefully, no one noticed.

"You know how to ballroom dance, right?" Hikaru asked me as he stepped to my side.

"I'm sure he does, Hikaru. Every magazine says how much he is good at everything," Kaoru said from the other side of me. I had a feeling they were trying to tease me. The problem was that I really had no clue how to ballroom dance.

Shit, I thought as I began to panic. Being in this club was going to be the death of me. I wondered if Adrian could show me before I made a complete full of myself at the party. "Huh?" I said as my pocket vibrated in my pant pocket. I fished it out, I swear that he is psychic sometimes. It's scary. I raised the phone to my ear, "Yeah?"

"Hey," I heard Adrian's voice on the other end. "How is the club thing going?"

"Did you really call just to ask me that?"

"No," he started but stopped himself from saying more.

"Is something wrong?" I asked, starting to get worried. The others looked at me with their own worried looks. "A...Aiden?" I almost slipped up. "What's going on?"

"I just miss you," he said finally.

I blinked a few times before my eye began to twitch and my hand tensed around the phone, "You idiot! You had me worried sick for nothing!"

"But I miss you~. I hardly ever get to see you," he whined on the other end. He had a point. Even though we lived together, Adrian's schedule was chaotic. And when he wasn't busy, I was. We hardly saw each other.

I sighed as I relaxed, "I hate you."

He laughed on the other end, "No, you don't. But seriously. I do miss you. I know I should let you go back to your friends. I just wanted to hear how you were doing."

His words caused me to smile, "I know. I'll see you at home later." We said our goodbyes. I stuffed my phone back in my pocket and turned to seven faces looking at me. "What?"

I turned to Haruhi who had a big smile on her face, "I just think it's really cute how close you and Aiden are."

I blinked at her before letting out a groan, "He is a pain." I looked out the window, smiling, "But he means everything to me." I couldn't let anyone break us apart again even if it meant deceiving to my new friends. But I had no idea that it would become harder each day as I got closer to them.
