Chapter
II.
He walked down the sidewalk, wooden sandals clacking against the cement, in a rhythmic sort of way. The boy, Yoh, looked down as he walked, watching the grey pavement pass under his feet, examining the cracks that lined the pavement. He was in thought. His music was silenced, and so the life of what was around him was the music he listened to. The rustling of the leaves in the wind, the steady tap of his sandals, the gentle breeze in his hair. It was soothing. It helped him to be calm, even though he was rather calm to begin with. It was in his nature.
His dark eyes were clouded, as if he was worried about something. And he was. No, it wasn't about how Anna was going to tell him off about being late. That was the least of his worries. It was about Hao. It was about that dream he had a few nights ago. It seemed so... real. It felt so real. And maybe it had been. But, Yoh didn't know. He had been terrified, during that dream. Or, at least, he thought he had been terrified. No. Now, that he ran it over in his mind... he enjoyed it. And something, deep down inside, wished that he hadn't woken up. It wished that it had been real.
No, it was better not to think about it.
Yoh rounded the corner, taking the alleyway on a sudden impulse. But why? He had never actually traveled down the alleyway before. Garages and brick walls surrounded the boy, looming over his head, shadowing his figure. And it was silent. Except for his wooden sandals that sounded, and echoed down the alleyway. Cans and paper littered the uneven street that had pools of muddied water in cracks and holes. Yoh stepped around these. Stones stuck up from the ground where it was unpaved, waiting to be tripped upon. And glass. Lots of broken glass was scattered about the area from beer bottles maybe even a window.
Still, his mind lingered to his brother.
Did he have feelings for his elder sibling? No, He couldn't. he refused to admit that. After all, Hao was his twin brother. He could never. Besides, he already had a fiancé. He couldn't think about another. It would be just wrong of him.
And yet, he still thought of his brother.
Yoh continued his mental debate with himself, seeming determined to come up with an answer before he returned to his home. He scowled slightly, his pace slowing, and the rhythm of his steps becoming slower as well. He was too deep in his thoughts to notice that he was being followed. His mind kept returning to his dream, to where Hao came in, and kissed him.
"You know, otouto, I could make it happen."
The boy's stomach made a leap as he heard the voice. It was Hao. He stopped in his tracks, his mouth open slightly, but he could not say a word. His elder brother emerged from the shadows, and behind Yoh, smirking at his skull. He wrapped his arms around his brother from behind, in a sort of an embrace; his lips parted and closed to his brother's ear.
"I could, you know."
Yoh shuddered. He still could not move. He cringed slightly as he felt Hao's lips upon his ear, then shuddered.
"Just leave me be, Hao." Yoh mumbled.
Hao's eyes lit up, enjoying his brother's protest. "Oh, but why, otouto?" He slid his hands down Yoh's arms, down to his elbows, and held them firmly. He then laid his lips upon Yoh's neck, kissing him a few more times, before looking up again. "You are enjoying this, aren't you?"
Yoh couldn't answer. This was just another dream. He thought, his eyes now shut tight. He would wake up any time now.
But he didn't.
Struggling against his brother's firm grip, he broke free from Hao. Hao whirled out in front of him, his cloak billowing out behind him in the sudden gust of wind. He pushed the younger one up against a brick wall, restraining him once more. His dark eyes met Yoh's, as he smirked again, waiting for his brother to say something. But, he stayed silent. His eyes were filled with panic, still not believing that it was real.
"Hao, please. Let me go!"
He answered with another kiss, upon his lips, dulling any other words Yoh might have said. And the kisses went lower, to his neck
This is all just a dream.

...just... a dream.
