Yellow Hyacinth
It had always been just the two of them.
And yes, Kaoru loved her, too. Perhaps even as much as Hikaru. She was pretty and intelligent and understanding and compassionate and practical, and she could cook and clean and there was nothing really wrong with her.
But this was their world, him and Hikaru, and she had no business getting past the gates. He thought they'd locked it so tight, and with just a few days of knowing them, she tore off the chains as easily as if they were made of paper.
It was always Which one is Hikaru? Because Hikaru was the one who wanted to be found. Kaoru didn't care if anyone else saw them as individuals or if everyone thought they were just one boy split into two. It didn't matter what they thought. Because he knew, and Hikaru knew, that they were two people, separate but closer than anyone had ever been, and that was enough for him.
But he supposed he would have to learn to share—share, or lose Hikaru bit by bit to the girl they both loved.
The yellow hyacinth means jealousy.
