Why did he choose such a secluded place? Could it be that he wants us to be alone...? Wait--what am I thinking?? Kaoru could never...Hikaru shook his head, trying to clear all strange thoughts from his mind. It only slightly worked.
"Ah, Hikaru. I was beginning to wonder if you'd gotten lost." Kaoru stood at the foot of a queen-sized bed, unpacking both of their clothes, and chuckled teasingly at Hikaru, who'd just walked in.
"Heh." Hikaru replied, scratching the back of his head, "Getting lost in our own summer house. You're funny." He sat down on the bed, making some of the folded clothes on the end bounce up.
"Okay. So where were you? I had to start unpacking first, since you didn't show up." Kaoru said, now digging through another suit case.
"I was...becoming acquaintances with our new maid." Hikaru lied.
"Oh. Takako. Yeah, she seems nice, huh? Better than the old lady we had before." Kaoru chuckled at himself.
Our old maid was fifty times better than this new one...even if she was so old that her bones creaked...
"Kaoru," Hikaru looked over at his twin, "why did you choose a room so far back?"
"Well, uh" Kaoru hesitated for a moment, "The giant bathroom..."
Hikaru cocked at eyebrow, noticing the pause Kaoru held before answering the question.
"It seems kinda stuffy back here, doesn't it? Well...At least there's a window in the ceiling." Hikaru said, looking up into the light that wafted down through a circular glass window in the on the roof.
"Yeah. And plus...We don't have to be bothered by sounds from outside." Kaoru walked over to the dresser, dropping in the clothes he'd unpacked.
And the people outside won't be bothered by the noises made inside...Wait--What noises made inside? Noises...made by me...and...and...Kaoru? Noises...Good noises...Noises like... Hikaru's thoughts were, gladly, interrupted by Kaoru's worried voice.
"Nii-sama, are you okay? Are you sick? You're face is all red!" Kaoru swiftly walked over and placed his forehead against that of his brother's.
"K-Kaoru--What are you doing?" Hikaru, startled, jerked his head back.
"Your forehead is all hot! Are you sick?" Kaoru asked, getting more worried.
"N-No...I'm just--It's just--really hot in here..." Hikaru, as hard as he tried not to, let a deep red blush creep onto his face.
"I should've knew you were getting sick by how wiped out you got carrying the luggage to the porch! You'd usually have no trouble with that. Just get into bed and get some rest." Kaoru pushed back the covers, making Hikaru lay down, and pulled the sheets over him.
By now, all the perverse thoughts really had worn him out, so all he did was what his outoto said.Drifting off into a deep sleep, he dreamed of a deserted white beach, with nobody to interrupt him laying closely with his beloved other...
Hazy, golden eyes slowly opened into slits.
Where am I?...A...A beach...with Kaoru...Only me and Kaoru...It's so quiet and peaceful...He's still holding me...I must still be dreaming...
The hold on his chest tightened, and Hikaru turned his head to the left. Kaoru lay beside him, his arms wrapped around the older sibling's chest, almost protectively.
"Kaoru..."Hikaru turned on his side, putting his arms around that of the younger one, accidentally stirring him awake.
"Mnh...Hikaru? Are you awake?.." Kaoru lifted his head, rubbing his eyes like a small child.
"I'm sorry for waking you." Hikaru said, putting his head down onto Kaoru's shoulder.
"No...I was outside with nothing to do after I helped Takako a bit...So I decided to come in and lay down with you, but I accidentally fell asleep." Hikaru caressingly held his younger brother, taking in the scent of the shampoo in his hair.
"Kaoru..."
"Hm..?"
"You smell good..."
"Hikaru...you're weird."
"Then you're weird too."
"How?"
"Because we're the same."
"That's not totally true. Because even if we're twins, we're not the same person. So, we're not totally the same."
"..."
"Hmph."
"Shut up and sleep."
The two boys lay in their bed, arms entwined, legs entwined, and drifted into a sweet slumber.

Okay, so I'm sorry this chapter is so short. And yes, I've noticed that it's mostly dialog. But what's so wrong with a dialog-filled chapter? D: I've been behind on a lot of my homework and my internet cord was mysteriously cut, so I couldn't get online for about three weeks. That's why it took me so long to post. . I'm sorry! Don't send me to my fate just yet. D: But what you can do is REVIEW!! XD
