Hikaru had made Kaoru cry, and he didn't know how.
"What's wrong?" Hikaru wondered as he tried to figure out what happened to his smiling and bright twin. "What did I do this time?"
Kaoru sobbed and shook his head and wiped his tears.
"I wa-I wasn't crying," Kaoru stuttered, choking a bit on his words. "I wasn't crying at all, what're you talking about?"
"I didn't-"
"I'm okay," Kaoru tried to convince and looked up at Hikaru with a smile, the tears no longer evident on his eyes. Hikaru could tell by the glossy glaze, and the sadness eminating from his twin. Hikaru'd done something to make Kaoru cry, and Kaoru wasn't going to admit it. "Really Hikaru, I'm all right."
Hikaru nodded and walked out of the room, pausing infront of the closed door as the sobs resumed.
Kaoru'd done that a lot more lately. Hikaru was worrying about Kaoru a lot more lately.
And Kaoru sat in the ruins of his relationship with Hikaru, a relationship he was trying to kill as quickly as possible, since it was already dying in the first place. What Kaoru didn't see was that what he really sat in was the ruins of his world, a world he refused to leave, no matter how many times Hikaru and Haruhi and the rest of the people tried to beckon him out. He didn't trust any of them. He didn't want Hikaru to see him cry.
"Nothing's wrong," Kaoru tried to convince himself.
Hikaru walked away, liked he done before, but never would have a year ago.
"Nothing's wrong," Kaoru sobbed as he curled up into a ball on his bed, longing for the warmth of Hikaru's touch.
Kaoru wasn't going to come out of his ruins for anyone.
Until he goes back in.
