"Morning," Kakeru greeted the trio as he entered the common room for breakfast.

"Good morning, Tengenji!" Hoshitani returned cheerfully.

Kakeru glanced over them. "Where's Kaito?" he asked as he washed his hands.

"Right here," Kaito's voice appeared from the doorway before anyone could respond. He stepped up beside Kakeru, grabbing the tray of food that held his name on it. "Oh, Kakeru," he stopped, reaching into pocket. He pulled out a ring of keys which jingled as he did. "You left these out yesterday at Nii-san's house. I forgot to hand them back to you."

Kakeru's eyes widened as he took them, "Oh, thank you. That's a big save."

Kaito simply nodded, taking his tray to the table. He faltered in step when he noticed three pairs of eyes on him. "What?"

Kuga pressed his lips together. "This is new."

"Huh?" Kaito blinked.

"You guys are going by first name now," Nayuki commented with surprise mixed in his voice.

Hoshitani's eyes widened, "Wow!" he paused, a gasp escaping him, "We should do that too!"

"Huh?" Nayuki snapped his gaze to Hoshitani in shock.

Hoshitani grinned, "Let's call each other by our first names, too! Don't you agree, Toru?"

Nayuki jumped, startled, "H-Hoshitani-kun…"

"No! Just call me Yuta!" Hoshitani puffed his chest.

Kuga nodded, "Okay. It's fine with me, Yuta."

Hoshitani brightened.

Kaito sighed, his shock wearing off as he joined them at the table, "Honestly. You guys get too excited sometimes."

Kakeru huffed as he crossed his arm, "It should be fine. We call Tavian by her name, anyways."

Four pairs of eyes turned to the tall red head in shock and confusion.

Kuga was the one to comment finally, "...She doesn't count."

"What?" Kakeru snapped back, "Of course she does!"

Hoshitani grinned, "Then, wouldn't that mean she has a last name?"

"Would it be Tengenji?" Nayuki smiled, playing along.

Kakeru nodded seriously, "Of course it is."

Kaito snickered into his hand suddenly. "I can imagine that you made her a birth certificate."

Kakeru turned a suspicious shade of red as he spit out, "I-I did no such thing!"

"Aha!" Hoshitani pointed at him, "You totally did! Your face is all red!"

"No it's not!"

"It is too!"

"Shut up, you boor!"

"Nii-san! Say Nii-san, Kaito!" Haruto's younger face clearly spoke.

"You know they can't talk yet," a beautiful woman said, smiling down above them. A man sat behind the woman on a sofa, playing with a little red head baby in his hands.

Haruto grinned, "I'm trying to teach them to say it early! Come on, Kaito! Kakeru is being stubborn and won't say it either!" He poked baby Kaito on the cheek, "Don't be shy, okay? I'm your Nii-san!"

Kaito shot up in bed. He panted for air after the dream. No, not dream. Memory.

The same one he had many times before, was clear now.

He huffed a laugh. "Nii-san…" he muttered. He had to remember to ask about this memory of his.

Kaito rested his hands on his lap, curling them over the blanket that pooled up there. He sighed, kicking his legs over the side of the bed to climb out, pulling his pillow along with him. He quietly slipped out of the room, not to disturb the lightly snoring Kuga, and padded outside without putting his shoes on. He went past a few doors, before stopping at the face of one.

Deciding against knocking on the door and disturbing everyone in the hall, Kaito opened the door and entered the single person room.

Kakeru was laying off center- near the wall- with Tavian curled up beside the pillow.

Kaito stepped forward, putting his pillow down beside Kakeru's, being mindful of Tavian, and layed down on the mattress beside Kakeru. He stared up at the ceiling, the view different than the one from his own bed, since it didn't have a bunk above it, then sighed.

Kakeru shifted and suddenly his arm was draped over Kaito's body.

Kaito deadpanned and shoved it off himself, letting it flop back awkwardly against Kakeru.

Kakeru sputtered at the sudden action and Kaito held his breath. Kakeru took a deep breath in. "Huh?" he mumbled, blinking his eyes that were thick with sleep, "Kaito?"

Kaito slowly turned his head to look at him, "Yeah…"

Kakeru rubbed his face, "What? Why are you… in my bed?"

Kaito played with his hands, stalling for a moment. "Ah… I… had a dream."

"What?" Kakeru blinked again, this time in confusion, "You woke me up for a dream?"

Kaito stopped. He realized that Kakeru was right. It was a small thing that wasn't worth anyone's sleep. He rolled over, "Sorry… I'll leave."

A hand grabbed his arm as he was rolling off the mattress. "Lay down and tell me what it was about," Kakeru spoke clearly.

Kaito's eyes widened a fraction in the darkness. He slowly sank back into the bed.

"So?" Kakeru pressed, "What did you dream about?"

"It was more like a memory," Kaito clarified softly, turning his head up again and trailing off.

Kakeru rolled over onto his back, lifting his arm to rest over his head. He blinked his eyes, then stared at Kaito tiredly, "Well, tell me what it was about."

Kaito glanced at him from the corner of his eye. He frowned and said, "Your breath stinks."

A moment passed over them.

Kakeru reared backwards on the mattress, then shouted angrily, "What? You boor, how would you expect me to have good breath in the middle of the night?"

Kaito burst into laughter; Kakeru soon followed.

Kakeru sighed, regaining his breath, "Now, what was it that made you wake me up?"

"I didn't mean to," Kaito said softly. "It's just this… memory… I've had it a few times. And just now, it was really clear."

"What was it about?" Kakeru asked.

"I see Nii-san talking to me," Kaito described. "He's telling me to say Nii-san and that you're being too stubborn to," he added with a grin to Kakeru.

Kakeru huffed.

"And then I see… Okaa-san, who replies to Nii-san," Kaito continues. "And behind her is Otou-san who is playing with you."

They were both quiet.

"You'll… have to ask Nii-san about it," Kakeru spoke softly.

Kaito simply nodded. He carefully looked at Kakeru, "Do you ever get dreams like that?"

Kakeru blinked at the sudden question, then closed his eyes, humming, "No. I don't recall any. Most of my childhood memories are with my father."

"Oh," Kaito said, a silence blanketing them.

The blanket suddenly flopped over his face, blacking out Kaito's sight.

"So if you're done, shut up and let me sleep," Kakeru spoke into his darkness.

Kaito pulled the blanket off his eyes, then rolled to his eyes, bringing the cloth over with him. "Fine," he muttered.

Kakeru shifted himself, and soon the two of them settled into a silence.

"Goodnight," Kakeru whispered suddenly.

Kaito buried his face into the blanket at his chin, "Yeah, good night."

~0~

Kaito slowly blinked his eyes open. He was awake and it was still dark.

He rolled over so that he was facing against the wall and could read the clock. Another 3 am. He sighed and pulled out of his bed, dragging his pillow along. Quietly, he exited the room and head down to another down the hall, where he entered silently.

Tavian lay near Kakeru's feet, so Kaito put his pillow down beside Kakeru's and layed down on his side, facing the window. His eyes fluttered shut.

Suddenly, he felt a weight come over his shoulder and something touch his face. Kaito blinked his eyes, pulling his head back, but only falling into easier reach. The hand patted his cheek.

"Hey," Kaito grunted.

The hand grabbed his nose.

Kaito pressed his face into his pillow. "Stop it," he mumbled.

The hand let up, but then he felt a yank in his hair.

Kaito smacked the hand away, "Cut it out."

"Huh?" Kakeru's voice came from behind. "Who?"

Kaito rolled his eyes, not bothering to turn, detecting the smile on Kakeru's face. "You already know who."

Kakeru let out the laugh he was holding, "I need to know who keeps invading my bed at night."

"Whatever," Kaito muttered, pulling Kakeru's blanket over himself.

"Hey," Kakeru yelped, tugging the blanket back, "you're taking too much."

"I barely have any here," Kaito stated, pulling on the corner near him.

Kakeru growled, taking his end close, "Bring your own blanket."

"Why don't you have an extra?" Kaito retorted, still in the tug of war.

"I do," Kakeru grunted, trying to roll the blanket over with him, "they're in the closet."

"Then," Kaito grasped at the blanket, tugging it over his shoulder, "get them out."

Before Kakeru could retort again, a meow interrupted them. Tavian leaped up from her spot and jumped in between the two. She curled up over the blanket, quelling the tug of war. The decision gave Kaito enough to cover himself, but barely enough for Kakeru's shoulder coverage.

"Tavian," Kakeru moaned.

Tavian meowed again, lifting her tail and resting it against Kakeru.

Kakeru sniffed, "You do care."

Kaito rolled his eyes, but sent a smirk to Kakeru, "Guess that settles it."

Kakeru huffed, "You're lucky that it was my precious Tavian, or else I wouldn't have lost."

"Sure," Kaito retorted.

"Is that a challenge?" Kakeru cried back.

"Shh," Kaito rolled away, closing his eyes. "I'm trying to sleep."

"Why you-" Kakeru puffed. He shifted in the bed, but was quiet.

Kaito smiled softly, "Goodnight."

"Night, you boor."

Kaito snickered, "Yeah, yeah."

~0~

Another early morning for Kaito. He sighed as he slipped into the end of the hallway. He quietly pushed the door open, swiftly entering.

He flinched when he kicked a shoe near the door that hit the wall with a loud thud. Kaito looked inside the room to make sure he didn't disturb the resident and stopped at the sight the greeted him.

Tavian was laying in the center of Kakeru's still neatly made bed. And Kakeru… he was laying by himself on the ground.

Kakeru looked up at the noise that the shoe had made and froze at the sight of Kaito. His mouth opened, flapping in order to say something.

Kaito deadpanned. "It's okay," he said into the silence, "you don't have to explain yourself."

Kakeru's jaw dropped as Kaito slowly backed up with the intention to leave the room.

Tavian suddenly sat up and stretched out her body. She jumped off the bed and padded over to Kaito. Kaito lifted her up against him, cuddling her with his pillow. She purred.

Kaito laughed as he looked at Kakeru. "I guess she was waiting for me."

Kakeru looked on with tears in his eyes, "Tavian…"

Kaito went to the bed and put her down, "What did you do to her? Give her the wrong food?"

"I would never!" Kakeru retorted sharply.

Kaito shrugged, sitting down on the bed with Tavian on his lap.

Kakeru sighed and flopped backwards onto the floor, staring at the ceiling. "Go ahead and lay down," he said.

Kaito raised an eyebrow, "And you?"

Kakeru's eyes fluttered shut, "I'm halfway asleep."

"So dramatic," Kaito rolled his eyes. He reached for the pillow on the bed and threw it on Kakeru's face, who gagged at the sudden force. Kaito snickered but continued to put his own pillow down. He laid down, putting Tavian down beside him. "Thanks for the bed," he smiled as Tavian purred under his hand.

Kakeru groaned. "Whatever, you boor. Goodnight."

Kaito sighed, rolling over to face the window. His eyes blinked shut, but they opened again. Sleep wasn't coming. He let his gaze stare out into the room.

It was weird. Not too long ago, he was alone. Now, he had a twin and an older brother. A twin that was someone who he was already close to, and a brother who… he was a fan of.

Kaito's eyes widened.

Tsukigami Haruto was his brother.

The person he looked up to was the closest relative one could have.

Kaito covered his face as emotions filled him. Joy, shock, embarrassment. It was too much. His most admired person was now so close to him.

"Hey," Kakeru's voice suddenly snapped him out of his thoughts, "what's wrong with you now? Stop making that dumb face and go to sleep already."

Kaito pursed his lips. He released a breath, "I'm… I can't sleep."

Kakeru groaned, "Really?" He turned, his eyes meeting Kaito's in the darkness. "What are you thinking about?"

"It's noth-"

"Don't nothing me, you boor." Kakeru interrupted. "I can see something's up clearly."

Kaito sighed. He took a moment to mull over his words. "Remember during our training for the roles of Shadow and Lights?"

"It wasn't that long ago," Kakeru deadpanned.

Kaito hummed his agreement. "And Yuta and I switched roles?"

"Yeah," Kakeru scoffed, "because you were too hung up over-" He stopped abruptly.

"Yeah," Kaito said, knowing that he had figured out what he meant, "and now… Tsukigami Haruto is… our… our Nii… san."

Kakeru was quiet for a moment. "It's the same for me, you know." Kaito looked up at him as he continued, "That it's Tsukigami Haruto we're related to, of all people. I think anyone would have the same reaction."

Kaito swallowed hard. "Yeah…"

Kakeru eyed Kaito's silent form. "Don't fret about it." He released a breath, "It feels weird but… Nii-san, he… really does care for us. And you know him, if you tell him that you admire him, I'm sure he'll go over the moon in joy."

A silence spread over them for a moment, before Kaito started snickering quietly.

Kakeru blinked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Moon," Kaito choked out.

Kakeru rolled his eyes, "Oh, shut up. That's not even funny." Despite his words, he couldn't help but share the laugh.

Kaito closed his eyes. With everything that happened, he had not thought of how lucky he was. He sighed contently, pulling the blanket up his shoulder. He uttered with a smile, "Goodnight Kakeru."

A tall young man stood by the gates of the dorm building as two figures approached. Haruto turned, grinning widely, "Kakeru, Kaito!"

Kaito took one look at him and deadpanned, "Nii-san, you're too open out here. Are you trying to get surrounded by fans?"

Haruto froze and started laughing at his words, "I suppose you're right."

Kakeru reached into his pocket and pulled out a glasses frame, "Here, take my disguise."

Kaito turned his dead stare to Kakeru, "You still have those on you?"

"Huh?" Kakeru retorted, "They work great!"

Haruto flipped the arms of the glasses open and slipped it on. "They fit perfectly. Thanks, you two, you're so reliable," he let out a charming smile.

Kaito and Kakeru shared skeptical looks.

Haruto waved his hands in front of them, "Now then, are you two ready to go? We're going to have a great time!"

"Yeah, yeah," Kakeru said. "Where are we going?" he asked as the two began following Haruto.

Haruto smiled, "I was thinking to go to the beach. We can have fun there then hang around the town, and be back by evening."

"Sounds fine." Kaito replied.

"Just fine, huh?" Haruto retorted with a glance back.

Kaito blushed, causing Kakeru to laugh, "You're so transparent!"

"Shut up!" Kaito cried in embarrassment.

Haruto laughed as their short walk ended. "Here's my car, get in."

The bright blue Nissan Skyline GTR R35 shined at the boys.

"This…" Kaito gaped, "is your car?"

Kakeru whistled, "I call shotgun."

Kaito jolted, "What? No way!"

Haruto smirked, unlocking the door as Kakeru was already going around to the front, "Sorry Kaito, it was shotgun."

Kaito choked as Kakeru laughed loudly while sliding into the front seat. He grumbled, but entered in the back. Putting his seatbelt on, Kaito crossed his arms and grumbled, "I get it on the way back."

"Sounds good to me," Haruto grinned as he backed out of his parking space to begin their outing.

They spent half an hour driving before they reached the beach. There, they enjoyed a stroll down the boardwalk, looking at the side stalls and various acts. They ate lunch late, at an open seafood restaurant.

A while after lunch, as the heat of the day was getting to them again, Haruto got popsicles for them to enjoy. The three settled under a picnic table and watched the water.

Haruto finished up first, having chosen a smaller popsicle, and licked his lips. "That was a nice treat." He stood to throw the trash, then sat back down. "I have to tell you two something," he said, looking over their relaxed forms.

"What's up?" Kakeru asked cautiously, his eyes narrowing slightly as he licked his dripping cherry popsicle.

"It's about work," Haruto answered carefully spelling out each word. He interlocked his fingers then released them, tapping the pads of each finger against the opposite hand. The two boys watched as the eldest hesitated before speaking. "They're calling me back to America."

"Oh." Kaito's widened gaze reflected Kakeru's.

Haruto glanced away from the double downcast expressions. "Yeah…" he gulped, "I hadn't planned for it to happen so soon…"

Kakeru let his popsicle down, the juice starting to drip onto the table. "How soon?"

"Well," Haruto bit his lip, "I thought I had two weeks left, but they want me back in a week."

"A week?" Kaito coughed, hiding the gasp that escaped him.

Haruto let out a hum of confirmation. "It's sudden, I know. But I have about a half year of work left before I can come back fully…"

The twins fell silent.

Haruto peeked at them from the corner of his eye, before lifting his head to the crestfallen teens. "Kakeru? Kaito?"

Kakeru jolted, looking up from his melting popsicle. "Ah! Yeah, well, it's for work. You made this commitment before you even knew about us, so it's not like we can say anything that can change that." He laughed in a forced way.

"No," Haruto cut off with a shocked gasp, "I, it's not-"

"It's fine," Kaito cut him off without looking up. "You were here on a break, anyways. The timing is just wrong for us."

"What? No, of course that's not it!" Haruto cried out firmly.

Kakeru shook his head, stopping Haruto, "It's for work, isn't it? Go finish it without slacking off." He sighed, "Even if… I am a little upset about the news, it doesn't change the fact that you gave your word. Besides," he stared into Haruto's eyes with determination, "we'll be there one day, too, you know."

"It wouldn't do us well if we held you back," Kaito added, his own eyes shining as he met Haruto's gaze.

Haruto let out a shaky breath and smiled wide, "You two… thank you. You really are amazing." He shook his head at himself, "I expect to see you two up here soon."

"You can count on it," Kaito declared with a confident smirk that reflected the one on Kakeru's face.

The rest of their time at the boardwalk flew by and before long it was getting dark.

Haruto looked up at the dimming sky. "Time to get back, you two."

"Oh," Kakeru nodded, "okay."

The trio made it back to where Haruto had his car parked and shifted inside, Kaito taking the front seat as promised on the ride over.

They were quiet as they drove, the sky darkening as the car rhythmically rode on. Haruto glanced at Kaito for a moment, noticing how the teen's eyes were drooping. Kakeru's own clouded gaze was staring out the window, lights flashing over his face.

Haruto hummed lightly, "This reminds me of a time when you two were small."

Kaito glanced at him while Kakeru leaned his head around the seat briefly, "Yeah?"

Haruto nodded, "One night, I was helping Kaa-san put you two to bed. Kakeru was already laying in his crib, so she was putting Kaito down in his crib, but he wouldn't stop crying. No matter what, Kaa-san couldn't figure out why you were crying. You weren't hungry or dirty, but you were tired. Still, you didn't sleep." He paused, glancing at the two. "Do you know what finally got him to sleep?" They both shook their heads in response. Haruto laughed. "This was the first night that you two were in separate cribs. Kaito kept crying unless he was next to Kakeru. And after that, he didn't make a sound."

Kakeru laughed out loud while Kaito turned away in a sense of embarrassment.

"He still does it!" Kakeru proclaimed.

Haruto blinked. "What?"

Kakeru nodded with a smirk. "He's been sneaking into my room at night to sleep with me."

Haruto turned his wide gaze to Kaito, "Is this true?"

Kaito turned red and ducked away.

"It is," Kakeru piped up with a grin.

Haruto laughed, "That makes me happy to hear!"

Kaito grunted.

Kakeru grinned mischievously at Kaito's discomfort.

They eased into a nice silence once again.

"Oh," Kaito said, glancing at Haruto. "I've had a dream… or memory that I wanted to ask you about."

"A dream?" Haruto commented, "What happens?"

Kaito quietly explained the memory to him.

Haruto chuckled. "That's a memory alright."

"It is?" Kakeru piped up.

Haruto nodded, "It sure it. It was when you two were just at the age of talking. I guess I was excited for you two to talk." He laughed, "But when you two learned, Kakeru wouldn't stop. Kaito was the quieter one, for sure."

Haruto continued to tell the small tales that he could recall, softly trailing off as both teens began to doze off against the lull of the ride.

The eldest smiled as he drove on. He whispered into the silence, "I'm glad we're together again."

"Geez… Why am I, a traditional Japanese artist, doing something so foreign as making a jack-o-lantern?" Kakeru complained as he lifted his carved pumpkin to inspect it.

Kaito glanced over at Kakeru, "This isn't the first time you went along with Hoshitani's impulses, is it?"

Kakeru scowled, "Still!" He looked at Kaito's pumpkin, "Huh?" He burst out into laughter, "The heck's that? What part of that is a face?"

Kaito gawked in confusion, "Huh? It has eyes, doesn't it? A nose and a mouth, too. I'm making Nii-san."

"Nii-san?" Kakeru rejoiced his laughter. Tears gathered in his eyes, "You have no right to judge Kuga's drawings now!"

Tatsumi smiled from across them, "Yamamoto's not so good at handcrafts, is he? Remember how we tried to draw each other's faces during middle-"

Kaito cut him off, "Let's not talk about that." He looked over at Kakeru, who was oddly quiet after his mutterings of "that face, that face-."

Kakeru had his phone out and took a picture of his pumpkin.

"Hey!" Kaito cried, "What are you doing?"

Kakeru snickered, "I'm sending a picture of your wonderful portrait to Nii-san."

"No! It's not done!" Kaito cried out quickly, reaching for Kakeru's phone.

Kakeru pulled back, "No way! It's already sending!"

"Stop!" Kaito yelped, tackling Kakeru over the bench in an attempt to snatch the device back.

Tatsumi and Sawatari watched as the two wrestled.

Tatsumi hummed, "Do you hear them talking about a Nii-san, as well, Eigo?"

Sawatari nodded, "I do."

"Something has changed about their dynamic, hasn't it?" Tatsumi observed.

"It seems so," Sawatari agreed.

Kakeru was laughing like crazy as Kaito still struggled to get a hold of his phone. It suddenly chimed, pausing them midst wrestling.

Kakeru turned to look at the screen. "He replied," he stated.

Kaito pulled away from Kakeru and frowned, "Already? Isn't it almost three a.m. there? Isn't he supposed to be asleep now?"

Kakeru shrugged, pulling open the message. "He said, and I quote, it's amazing. I love it and it looks just like me. Insert a bunch of heart emojis. Keep it safe because I want to save it forever. End quote."

Both boys deadpanned.

"...He does know that this is a perishable, right?" Kaito asked expressionlessly.

Kakeru shrugged but snickered, "At least someone likes your pumpkin."

Kaito shot him a dirty look.

Kakeru's phone chimed again and he checked it.

"Now what?" Kaito asked.

"He wants to see mine," Kakeru replied and added, "the better one."

Kaito deadpanned as Kakeru continued to take a picture of his own progress.

Sawatari spoke up, "Everyone has something they're bad at. At the very least, I can say that your pumpkin is better than Tatsumi's cooking, Yamamoto-kun."

"Hey," Kaito scowled.

Tatsumi smiled in between all of them, "Well, let's finish these up."

(Starmyu in Halloween cont)

Futaba fainted, falling backwards after witnessing Inumine eating the expensive truffles that were bought under his name.

Hoshitani gasped, "Futaba-san?"

"Please hang in there!" Nayuki cried.

Kaito turned around for help, "Saotome-san!"

"Futaba-san is-!" Hoshitani started, but they stopped as Saotome fell backwards as well.

Kuga caught him, lowering to the ground as Kakeru grabbed the box that he dropped.

"Wh-What's wrong?" Nayuki stuttered.

Saotome lifted a finger to the box, his eyes dead, "Th-That's…" the boys followed and stared at the atrocious figure. "A sculpture that Haruto made during our middle school days… It's my face... I thought that he destroyed it long ago but... Why is my trauma in a place like this...? Even if it was made by my beloved Haruto, I can't bear to look at it. There's a limit to how bad he can be with his hands…"

Kakeru and Tatsumi digested the story, before looking at Kaito and laughing.

"Looks like you and Nii-san share something else in common," Kakeru laughed out loud.

Kaito ducked his head, a wide blush spreading across his face.

Saotome's eyes suddenly snapped open and he looked up at Kakeru, "Nii-san?"

Kakeru and Kaito stopped.

Saotome stared at the box with the horrific statue, then at Kakeru, and then at Kaito. "Nii-san?" he repeated again, sitting up from Kuga's hold, "What are you talking about?"

The whole room silenced, zeroing in on the three.

Tatsumi stood up, "I would like to know what is going on, as well."

Sawatari nodded, "Earlier, you two were acting… strangely."

Kakeru sighed, ducking his head, "I guess it's out, huh, Kaito?"

Kaito shook his head, "We weren't really hiding it."

"Huh?" Futaba suddenly sat up, "What?"

"The truth is," Kaito spoke, "that Kakeru and I are twins and Tsukigami Haruto is our older brother."

The room was silent for a moment, until both Saotome and Futaba started shouted.

"What? How?"

"My beloved Haruto has siblings? Since when?"

Kakeru and Kaito backed up from the older two.

"We only recently found out…" Kakeru choked out.

As Kaito and Kakeru explained the story to the older duo, Tatsumi looked at Hoshitani. "You three don't look surprised."

Hoshitani laughed, "Ah, yeah. They told us earlier. But we were just as surprised!"

Nayuki smiled, "Yeah, but they've always got along in their own sense."

Kuga nodded quietly.

"Well I'll be," Toraishi commented, after hearing their story.

Ugawa scoffed, "What are the chances of that?"

"Ugawa-kun…" Nayuki said nervously.

"This… is amazing," Saotome choked. He suddenly stared at Futaba, "Uozumi…"

Futaba raised an eyebrow, then his eyes widened, "H-He-?"

The two rushed out of the room without another word.

The remaining boys awkwardly stared, then turned to the newly revealed twins.

Kakeru stood up, standing in front of Kaito and putting his hands on his hips, "What? Anybody got a problem with this?"

Kitahara scoffed, "As if. If you think we didn't see something between you two before, you're guilty."

Nanjo smiled, "This was a funny revelation."

Kaito frowned at his expression.

"I don't care," Ageha said.

"Ageha," Hachiya gasped. He looked at the two, flailing his arms, "Sorry! It's great that-" Who knows how he suddenly tripped; they left him to pick himself up.

"A-Anyways," Hoshitani interrupted, "let's get started on our Halloween party now!"

"Yeah!"

(Starmyu in Halloween cont)

A chime broke through the silence of the van. The male looked at the screen of his phone. "Oh, they're calling," he said to himself. He grinned before answering, "Hello?"

"Don't hello us, Uozumi!" Futaba cried from the opposite side.

"Hello?" Another voice spoke.

Uozumi blinked, "Haru?"

"Yes," Saotome said in a smooth but clearly panicked tone, "we're doing a joint call."

Haruto laughed, "Did you two enjoy our package?"

Futaba yelped, "You jerks! I can't believe you did that!? How am I supposed to pay that off?"

Uozumi rolled his eyes as Futaba complained. He zoned out as Haruto asked Saotome about his gift, who replied in panic.

"Enough about that," Futaba cut off suddenly, gaining Uozumi's attention, "why did neither of you inform us about little Kakeru-kun and Kaito-kun?"

Uozumi froze.

Haruto laughed nervously after a moments pause, "Ah, so you know."

"Haruto!" Saotome cried, "Why didn't you tell us?"

"Sorry," Haruto said, not sounding it at all, "I must have forgotten."

Uozumi rolled his own eyes at his tone.

"Haruto! Our precious kouhai are your brothers!" Futaba restated.

"So they told you?" Haruto clarified.

"They explained what you didn't," Futaba retorted sharply.

Haruto laughed, "Ah, Kakeru and Kaito are so reliable. I knew I could count on them."

Uozumi deadpanned, "For real?" Did he leave the two boys to answer for themselves on purpose?

"Yes," Haruto replied immediately.

Typical.

"Haruto!" Saotome and Futaba whined.

Haruto sighed, "I don't know what you two want me to say." There was a pause. "Uozumi gave me the idea to find them. After my parents' anniversary… I found them again. It's okay, isn't it?"

"Haruto, we aren't upset," Futaba explained. "This is great news. We just would've liked to have been clued in, too."

"I know, I'm sorry," Haruto said sincerely. "I wasn't ready to face it myself and I couldn't bring it up to you two. Forgive me, friends."

Futaba sighed, "Of course."

"Yeah, Haruto," Saotome said with a wobbly voice.

Uozumi scoffed and rolled his eyes, "Okay, you two."

"We should all hang out when I get back again! Us and my brothers! I'm sure it'll be fun!" Haruto declared.

"Yeah, sure…" Uozumi replied sarcastically. "Anyways, I'm just going to go-"

"Wait, Uozumi!" Futaba cried suddenly, "The boys are starting their Halloween party, you should come on by!" he sang the latter terms.

Uozumi scowled to himself. "No-"

"Oh!" Haruto gasped, "That's right! Uozumi, didn't you say you were right outside the dorms?"

Uozumi choked at the sudden leak of information, "Haru-"

"What?" Futaba and Saotome cried. There was shuffling at their end.

"There's his atrocious SUV!" Saotome called out.

Uozumi growled, "It's not atrocious, it's convenient!"

"Uozumi, you rat," Futaba said, "get in here!"

"Or we'll deploy the boys on you," Saotome added smugly.

"Sounds fun!" Haruto laughed. "Have fun for me! Oh and if you can, take a picture of Kakeru and Kaito with their pumpkins for me!"

"Of course we will," Saotome proclaimed.

Futaba added, "We'll talk to you guys about the gifts later. And, Uozumi you better be coming in!"

Uozumi scoffed, "Yeah right."

He hung up as he heard their voices rise. He stared at the screen in the darkness of his car. Uozumi patted his lap, then leaned his head back against the seat.

Finally, he unclipped his seatbelt and opened the door. Maybe he would go see Haruto's brothers for the first time.

Kakeru was checking his phone idly when his door opened suddenly. He recognized Kaito's blue hair immediately and sat up to greet him.

However, Kaito loitered at the doorway, saying a few words to someone presumably in the hallway, before entering fully. "Hey," Kaito greeted, closing the door behind himself.

Kakeru raised an eyebrow, "Who was that?"

"Tatsumi and Sawatari," Kaito answered, taking out his own phone as he plopped himself on the ground beside the bed, "they asked if I wanted to go with them to this cafe we go to once in a while. They're going tomorrow."

"Oh…" Kakeru stared.

"Ah," Kaito blinked up at him suddenly, "want to come with? Their strawberry milk is pretty on point."

Kakeru paused. He turned his head to the side sharply, "No thanks. You go have fun with your friends."

Kaito scowled at the brash tone. "My friends?" he choked, "They-"

He was interrupted by a ringing. Kakeru looked at his device and the caller. He stood up swiftly, ignoring Kaito's shock stricken expression, "Excuse me."

Kaito didn't get the chance to respond before Kakeru shut the door between them.

Tavian mewled up to Kaito. He glanced at her, petting her back. "What's up with him…" he muttered, his brows dipped in confusion as he stared after the flat faced door.

~0~

Kaito couldn't figure it out. Ever since that incident in his room, Kakeru seemed to have a cold attitude towards him. It was even after then that Kakeru still was distant and less approachable than before. It felt like Kaito lost any relationship progress they had.

Kaito sighed, letting his phone wobbled between his fingers. He just replied to a text from Haruto about his general well being. He didn't tell him about Kakeru, though. It wouldn't make sense to bring in someone who wasn't present into their problem. And Kaito was sure that it was just him that Kakeru was being sour towards, so it must have something to do with their family or himself specifically.

A call got his attention. "Kaito, what's wrong?"

Kaito glanced up at Hoshitani, then hummed, "Ah, Yuta." After the initial awkwardness, the team had settled into a comfort with addressing each other by first name. "It's just... Kakeru." He sighed.

"What happened with him?" Hoshitani asked, taking a seat beside him on the bench.

Kaito shrugged, "I don't know. He just started acting strangely with me. I thought we were getting along, but… maybe not."

Hoshitani shook his head, "Don't say that! You two are closer than ever! Our whole team is!"

Kaito looked at Hoshitani through the side of his eye, "Then why is he acting like this?"

Hoshitani deflated, "Well… when did it start?"

"The other day," Kaito replied, "Tatsumi and Sawatari invited me to this cafe we go to occasionally and when I asked him if he wanted to join, he got mad." He sighed, "I don't know why."

Hoshitani hummed in thought. "You, Toru, Tatsumi, and Sawatari went to the same junior high, didn't you?" He continued after Kaito nodded, "Then, maybe he's jealous."

"Jealous?" Kaito repeated incredulously. "This is Tengenji Kakeru we're talking about, you know that right?"

Hoshitani waved his hands, "Yeah I do! Just hear me out. Those three could say that they know you pretty well because they've been around you since way back then. Maybe Kakeru wishes he knew you like that. I think siblings should be close, twins even more so. Don't you think?"

Kaito mulled over his words. "I suppose you have a point."

"Give him a little time," Hoshitani advised, "and if he doesn't come around I'll go talk to him!"

Kaito rolled his eyes, "Right."

Hoshitani patted Kaito on the shoulder, "Cheer up. You'll get through it and come back stronger!"

Kaito let out a small smile, "Yeah. Thanks, Yuta."

~0~

A voice stopped him in his tracks. "Tengenji-san? What are you doing here?"

Kakeru lifted his head in confusion, realizing that he was face to face with two identical looking girls with pink hair. "Nayuki sisters?" he blinked. "Why are you here?"

Tsumugi gazed at him blankly, "We are in front of our school."

Kakeru stopped. He turned to look out at the middle school campus that he was in front of then gasped. "What the-"

Yuki scoffed, "You seriously didn't notice? Geez, where's your head?"

"We can listen," Tsumugi commented.

Yuki linked her arm with her sister, "We're the best listeners!"

Kakeru stepped backwards at their sudden onslaught, "I-It's fine… I can-"

"No can do!" Yuki piped up.

"Let's go," Tsumugi said, leading them forward.

Kakeru sighed, following after the twins. They led him to a small patch of grass nearby the campus.

"So," Yuki began, "wanna tell us what's up?"

"Not really," Kakeru retorted.

Tsumugi whipped out her cell phone, "Talk or we'll call our Onii-chan."

Kakeru shrugged, "He doesn't know anything."

"We'll call Hoshitani-san!" Yuki tried.

Again, Kakeru shrugged.

"Kuga-san!"

"Yamamoto-san!"

Kakeru stiffened after the twins called out both names.

"Hm?" Yuki noticed his stiffness and glanced at her twin, "Which one was it, Tsumugi?"

"Yamamoto-san," Tsumugi answered.

Yuki grinned as Kakeru scowled, "Gotcha."

"You two have seriously bad personalities," Kakeru said as he deflated.

Yuki giggled. "So? What has it between you two?"

"Yamamoto-san and Tengenji-san usually get along," Tsumugi stated.

"In some weird sense," Yuki commented.

Kakeru sighed, folding his hands on his lap. "I guess Toru hasn't told you? Nah, he wouldn't have."

The twins blinked owlishly.

"First name?" Yuki gasped.

"This is new," Tsumugi nodded.

Kakeru's cheeks tinged pink. "Ah… it was kind of Kaito's and my fault…" He sighed, "Listen, long story short, Kaito and I are twins and Tsukigami Haruto is our brother."

Both girls gasped.

"That sounds like good news," Tsumugi stated.

"It is…" Kakeru agreed. He deflated again, "But… we…" his words barely escaped his lips, "barely know each other."

"Listen Tengenji-san," Yuki spoke, waving a finger at him, "we might not understand the situation, but Tsumugi and I are also twins. No matter what you're feeling, you're both feeling it! You need to talk to each other. Spend time together, enjoy being with each other. That's how you get close."

Tsumugi stepped up beside Yuki and took her hand, Yuki smiling in return.

"Stop sulking," Tsumugi said to Kakeru.

Kakeru's eyes went wide. He swallowed hard, then nodded up at the girls. He stood up, "I have to get going."

Yuki and Tsumugi smiled.

"Yeah," Yuki nodded, "You can do it, Tengenji-san!"

Kakeru ran off. He found his path back to the dorms and nearly ran into Kuga in the hallway as he ran up the stairs. "Where's Kaito?" he asked quickly.

The purple haired teen raised his eyebrows yet answered, "In our room."

"Thanks," Kakeru quipped as he rushed away. He made it to the door and slammed it open, "Kaito!"

Kaito jolted up, looking back from his desk. He frowned, "Kakeru? What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry," Kakeru said quickly, stepping towards the other teen inside the room, "for how I've been acting to you lately."

Kaito raised an eyebrow at his suddenness.

"We're twins and it just felt like, we don't know anything about each other," Kakeru confessed. "I'm sorry I got mad at you for hanging out with Sawatari and Tatsumi. It felt like they knew more about you than I did and… it upset me that I don't have the same knowledge as they do." He looked up at Kaito sadly, "Forgive me."

Kaito's eyes widened. He stared at Kakeru. A laugh escaped him suddenly. It continued, bubbling out in a stream of laughter.

"H-Hey…" Kakeru jolted with surprise. "What are you laughing about?"

Kaito bent over in his laughter, carefully trying to hold himself up, "Y-You…" he stood, wiping his eyes, "you're always so dramatic, Kakeru."

"Huh?"

"I can't believe you proved Yuta right," Kaito snickered.

"I did what?"

Kaito laughed more at his flabbergasted expression before he could finally calm down. "Yuta said that you might be jealous. I really didn't think you would be. And of Tatsumi and Sawatari?" he scoffed, but started to giggle again.

Kakeru burned red, "I'm not jealous! Especially of those two!" He crossed his arms, turning away to hide his face, "I just wish… we were closer."

Kaito stopped his snickering abruptly to stare at his twin. "Kakeru… You're right to say that we aren't that close." He eyed Kakeru as he flinched at his words. "But, we're getting better, aren't we? It's not like we're ignoring each other. So, your concerns are silly."

Kakeru coiled inward tightly, then sprung towards Kaito suddenly. "Don't call my feelings silly, you boor!"

"Huh?" Kaito blinked in utter confusion. They stared at each other for a heartbeat, before they both broke into laughter.

"There's Kakeru," Kaito said, patting the redhead on the shoulder. He let go, stepping towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Kakeru questioned.

Kaito sighed, "I suddenly remembered that Yuta probably hasn't done his homework in favor of goofing off, as usual." His frown dipped more at another thought, "Shu too, now that I think about it."

Kakeru rolled his eyes, "Those two never get their work done."

On their way to the door, Kaito stopped short. He turned back to Kakeru. "Kakeru. Next time, just tell me straight, okay? We don't need to be awkward. I think that we… get along pretty well."

Kakeru paused this time. He sighed loudly, holding his hands out in an exaggerated shrug. "And you say I'm dramatic."

"What?" Kaito scowled.

Kakeru snickered. He draped his arm around Kaito's neck. "Don't worry, bro. We'll be close from here on out, I'm sure of it."

Kaito released a calm sigh as he melted into Kakeru's grasp. "Yeah… I agree."
