When Hikaru told Kaoru his dream, Kaoru wasn't terrified at all.
"Kaoru, isn't anything wrong with that?" Hikaru shouted, obviously panicked that Kaoru wasn't the least bit upset over Hikaru's dream where Kaoru killed himself.
"Not really, Hikaru," Kaoru sighed. "It was just a dream."
Then Kaoru went to bed, but Hikaru didn't understand it. Would Kaoru really be that calm if he died? Or would he really kill himself?
A shock ran through Hikaru, seeing his brother asleep like that, so pale, so expressionless.
"Kaoru!" Hikaru cried as he shook Kaoru, and Kaoru's eyes instantly fell open.
"What?" Kaoru hissed. "What do you want from me?"
Hikaru was crying and he snuggled up to Kaoru, apparently they were sleeping together tonight.
Kaoru's voice went softer and he cooed, "Hikaru, it's alright. It's going to be okay... I'm here, and I'm going to stay here."
"Promise?" Hikaru sobbed.
A choke hit Kaoru's throat.
"Promise?"
"I'll stay with you Hikaru..." Kaoru whispered. "For as long as I can."
Kaoru wrapped his arms around his brother and they both started to fall asleep in the bed. Kaoru felt his answer was unfinished.
"However long that may be."
