Fifth Day Night Time

Hikaru pulled Kaoru's body close to him under the covers.

"Hikaru? What's wrong?" Kaoru asked, nervously, as he realized the difference in Hikaru's pattern of sleep. It was supposed to be bed time a few hours ago, but neither could get to sleep. Kaoru thought Hikaru finally got to sleep.

"I had a nightmare," Hikaru answered.

"You? A nightmare? What was it about?"

"You," Hikaru answered and kissed Kaoru's neck lightly. Kaoru blushed and twitched.

"Oh? So I'm what nightmares are made of."

"No," Hikaru groaned, moving closer to Kaoru. "I mean, you were gone."

"Oh," Kaoru sighed in relief. These dreams were regular nightly dreams for Kaoru, but that was different. "How was I gone?"

"You left me, first you went off with another person, and it was a guy! Then the next thing I know I'm at your funeral..."

Hikaru stopped and removed his lips from Kaoru's throat at the sudden sound of Kaoru laughing.

"Was something funny?" Hikaru spat.

Kaoru rolled over and caressed Hikaru's face with one hand.

"I'll never leave you," Kaoru reassured.

"You better keep that promise," Hikaru scowled, bringing Kaoru's hand up to his lips and kissed his hand. "Or I'll punish you."

Kaoru smiled and snuggled closer to his brother.

"Are you tempting me?" Kaoru whispered, maliciously. "Are you tempting me to go off with someone?"

Hikaru blinked at the realization of what his brother was saying. Hikaru opened his mouth to say something, only to close it. He instead smiled and cuddled closer to Kaoru.

"Are you hitting on me?" Hikaru teased lightly.

"Do you not like it?" Kaoru asked as he shifted himself to be able to look into Hikaru's eyes. He smiled and kissed Hikaru's neck. "Do you not like being inferior, Nii-san?"

Hikaru gasped and hugged his brother and blushed out of Kaoru's view.

"I'm your older brother," Was Hikaru's only excuse.

Sixth Day

"Mm, Kaoru?" Hikaru moaned as he groped the bed for his missing brother. "Where are you?"

"Oh, over here, Hikaru. I didn't know you'd wake up yet," Kaoru's voice came to Hikaru.

Hikaru still hadn't opened his eyes.

"I woke up the moment you left," Hikaru spat. "Don't do that to me! I was dreaming about y-"

"What was that?" Kaoru asked, mischief evident in his tone.

"I was having another nightmare of you."

"That's why you were blushing and cuddling me for the past half hour right?" Kaoru laughed. "That's the only thing that prevented me from getting up."

Hikaru held his breath. It wasn't a dream after all.

He finally opened his eyes and gazed at his brother.

"Aii, Nii-san," Kaoru blushed as he was only in his boxers now. "I thought you weren't gonna open your eyes?"

"I wasn't," Hikaru replied as he began to sit up. "Now I'm kinda glad I did."

"Shut-up," Kaoru scowled.

"Where are you going anyway?" Hikaru inquired as he silently got up off the bed and embraced his brother from behind. He smiled at how Kaoru's muscles tensed in embarassment. Hikaru missed that feeling.

Kaoru breathed in quickly and struggled lightly in Hikaru's embrace. Both brothers knew that Kaoru didn't really want to escape the elder brother's grasp. Hikaru loved having that power over Kaoru, he relished it. Hikaru brought his lips to Kaoru's neck and repeated his question. Kaoru finally answered, "I'm going to go see how to make that little devil feel bad. She's gonna pay for what she did yesterday."

"Without me?"

Kaoru laughed lightly at Hikaru's fake sadness.

"You make too much noise," Kaoru replied and struggled lightly. "Now, Hikaru, I need to get my clothes on."

"Tell me, who's the man you love?"

Kaoru choked quickly and he struggled a bit more.

"I don't know, what you're talking about," Kaoru lied, embarassed.

"Who is he?" Hikaru asked again, more forceful. He wrapped his arm tighter around Kaoru's stomach, and kept his arm around Kaoru's neck in place.

"Hikaru? Stop!" Kaoru whined and struggled a little more.

Hikaru didn't budge and squeezed Kaoru's stomach tighter and he put his lips by Kaoru's ear.

"Who... is... he?" Hikaru asked through clenched teeth.

Is he... jealous? Kaoru wondered.

"Why should it matter to you?" Kaoru scoffed.

"You're my brother!" Hikaru shouted. "I won't let some other person touch you! At least not a guy! That's just wrong."

"But, Hikaru," Kaoru whispered. "We're already going to hell, remember?"

Hikaru scowled and blew onto Kaoru's ear, making him shiver.

"We're going to hell, you're not bringing anyone with, understand?"

Kaoru smiled and nodded.

"So who is it?" Hikaru continued to bug.

"Hikaru?"

"What Kaoru?"

"I don't think I'll go spying on Lex today."

"What are you going to do?"

"Something... much more important."

Kaoru closed his eyes and placed his hands onto Hikaru's arm that was around his neck.

"Much more important."

Kaoru's POV

I know that Lex has made my life an absolute hell, but I actually have to admit, I like her, a lot. She's really cute and small, and she doesn't mean any harm in her words. I've come to ignore her as of recently. Of course, telling me that he didn't love me was too much to take and I freaked out. He will always love me.

I mean, he has to, doesn't he? Without him I wouldn't be me, and I like to imagine that without me, he wouldn't be him.

Unfortunately, Fate is a cruel Mistress.
