I just can't met my deadlines... I have to be early or late. *sigh* xD

Chapter 6 – The Last Goodbye

Kaoru let out a frustrated groan when all his bags fell from his shoulder, bounced open, and spread all over the airports floor. People made annoyed sounds and hurried to walk around him in their rush, and he hurried to utter a few apologies. The young twin hurried to his knees and picked up the shattered clothing and belongings. This really hadn't been his day, at all.

He pulled two huge bags back around his shoulder and one with wheels in the other hand – that one luckily didn't bounce op- never mind…

He sighed and started to gather the newly shattered clothes. He sat on his suitcase to close it, not even getting a helping glance from the people around him. Stressed people was so unhelpful.

He sighed and tried to gather his bags again, when he suddenly felt one of the bags disappearing from his shoulder.

"Hey!" he yelled and grabbed the strap, but made a "huh" in surprise when he saw who it was.

"And here I was trying to be friendly," Kyouya said, trying to joke, but it came out halfheartedly. Kaoru's mouth pulled into a line and he yanked a little in the bag.

"Let go," he murmured.

"Admit that you need the help," Kyouya sighed, not letting go.

"Let go! I got it," Kaoru uttered, a little sharper. Kyouya glanced at him emotionlessly for a while, before he sighed and released the strap. The unbalanced twin jumped a little around when the weight was added, but steadied himself in the end.

"So," Kyouya began, and the auburn boy pinned his eyes at the ground. "You are really leaving?"

"Yeah," Kaoru just answered, starting to walk. He had to force himself not sigh when Kyouya followed him. He couldn't deal with this right now, he knew he was being unspeakably rude, but he just needed to get away – no goodbyes! But on the other hand, he at least owed the tall teen an apology for his brother's behavior.

Yeah, that was it. An apology and then he could leave.

"Listen," Kaoru said, turning slowly. "Yesterday. Um, I just wanted to apo-"

"You forgot this," Kyouya murmured, throwing something toward him.

"A-ah!" He exclaimed. He was got so stunned that he, by reflex, dropped all his bags and grabbed around the squared object before it fell. Stumbling a little he looked at his (once again) bags on the ground and then angrily at Kyouya. "Look what you made me do!"

The shadow king didn't answer. Kaoru gave him a last scowl before he looked at his hands. It was the new game from the store. He had completely forgotten about it.

"Oh," he whispered.

"You don't have to accept it," the older teen told him. "But if you still want it, it's yours. No feelings or grudges involved."

Kaoru licked his lips and stared at the game. He really really wanted this game, but was he allowed to accept it? When he had just hurt Kyouya so badly and now would leave him forever?

…

ARGH! What the hell, right?

"Thank you," he said, holding the game into his chest and smiling shyly at Kyouya. "I really appreciate it."

Kyouya stared at his face, his expression twisting in pain. "Please don't go."

'Darn it! Why did I accept it!' Kaoru mentally whined. "I have to, it's my whole future on a plate." He told him, laughing uncomfortably and bent down to pick up his bags.

He was suddenly yanked back up, by the wrist. His bags dropping back on the ground.

"Kaoru! I'm begging you not to go," Kyouya said sharply.

"Well, I see I'm not late for the farewell party," a new voice suddenly cut in. Both boys turned their head in reflex and Kyouya released the youngest twins hand instantly. Kaoru frowned.

"What are you doing here?" Kaoru got out, hurrying to rush his things together. He should just have hurried away when he had the chance. Hikaru teasingly crouched in front of him, smiling a little. Kyouya took a step back, making a face, but Hikaru ignored him and just looked at his twin.

"My baby brother is leaving without a word, and you thought I wouldn't do anything?"

"We're twins! And how did you know when my plane would leave?"

"Intuition."

"Yeah right."

"It's true!"

"Haruhi send you."

"Okay, yeah, she did."

Kaoru sighed. She would. He had to remind himself to call her and complain later. But while he thought about all the things he would scold her about he noticed Hikaru starting to collect his things and putting them in the bag.

"What are you doing?" he asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Helping you," he answered simply. Kaoru grabbed a shirt from his fingers, unnecessarily harsh.

"I mean why?" he whispered.

"Because…" Hikaru began, looking down, suddenly loosing his cool attitude. "Because I haven't been doing anything for you lately, and this is my way of saying that… I respect your decisions and choices. It means, that…"

"You have accepted that I'm leaving," Kaoru ended his sentence.

The twins looked at each other. Kaoru didn't know what to say; he had never felt this thankful to Hikaru before. "Thank you." He whispered and a smile crept over his face.

"No!" Kyouya suddenly yelled behind them, and the twins was yanked out of their bubble. "He might accept it, but I wont." Hikaru rushed to his feet, and Kaoru hurried after him.

"Don't make a scene," he begged them both. Hikaru ignored him and walked up to Kyouya with determined eyes.

"Kyouya," he began, and the other teen looked at him blankly. "I apologize for hurting you, but not for hitting you."

Both Kyouya and Kaoru looked confused. "Huh?" they both uttered, but Hikaru looked as serious as ever.

"You knew that it would be hurting me if you got into a relationship with my brother, because of our… complications lately, that's why you deserved the hit, so for that, I wont apologize. But… you didn't deserve the pain it brought, because you love him too and I get that."

Kaoru blushed and grabbed his shoulder. "Hikaru enough of the speech."

Hikaru ignored him again. "I get that, but I wont let you have him. I love him, more than anything and you shouldn't hold him back because of your own selfish needs to be around him." Kyouya's eyes turned cold.

"That's enough," Kyouya grounded out. And then… he hit Hikaru. Badly.

"Hikaru!" Kaoru exclaimed and caught him midair. Hikaru took a rasping breath for air, his eyes rolled to the back of his head. "You-" Kaoru hissed toward Kyouya, but was cut off by Hikaru's hand on his own.

"It's alright," he whispered breathless, and forced a smile on his face. "we just made up."

"What?" Kaoru spat, but then he realized Kyouya was walking away. "Kyou-"

"Let him go," Hikaru murmured and gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder before he straightened up with a pained moan. "Gosh, that guy hits hard." He leaned toward Kaoru for support.

"It's your fault," Kaoru sighed, stepping away, and not even blinking when his twin fell backwards into the floor with another moan.

He started to collect his bags and walked away with long strides.

"Hey! Wait a second," Hikaru complained, stumbling after him. "Are you not even going to say goodbye to me?"

"Goodbye."

"Wow, that's cold," he said, grinning. Kaoru had no idea where the good mood was coming from, but it was really creeping him out. Had Kyouya hit him that hard?

Kyouya leaned against the wall, clenching a hand over his chest. He was definitely not going to cry here, not here. Yes, if a tear ran down his cheek it was because his eye was itching, and if his stomach was clenching painfully it was surely because he was out late the previous night and had caught a cold.

"Kyouya?" a stunned voice sounded. He turned and saw two people approach him. He let out a breath. It was Haruhi and Tamaki.

"What are you doing here?" Tamaki asked, halting to a stop next to him.

"Are you here to say goodbye to Kaoru too- wait, are you crying?" Haruhi spat, suddenly shooting her hand forward and yanking his glasses off.

Kyouya took a step back in surprise by the gesture. "What do you think you're do-" he began, but suddenly he was engulfed in a hug by his short friend. He let out a gasp in surprise, tensing by the contact.

"Kyouya," Tamaki's voice suddenly sounded, and when Kyouya looked at him, the blonde looked absolutely miserable. "I'm sorry

"Yes?" the lady behind the counter asked the youngest twin, and he hurried to give her his passport. She read it throughout quickly, looking him over once, and then gave him his boarding-pass and checked his bags in. All the while an identical shadow stood behind him with a blank expression.

When Kaoru turned around he almost fell over in surprise. Hikaru looked absolutely miserable, his expression was so twisted in pain that he looked like another person, but as their gazes met it quickly changed back to his cheerful smile. Kaoru almost doubted the frown had been there.

"Time to go little brother," he sing-song'ed cheerfully. Kaoru forced a smile on. Why hadn't he noticed before? Hikaru was acting for him. Being the supportive older brother and accepting his decisions. It was almost painful to watch.

"Hey, what kind of smile is that," Hikaru complained and grabbed his arm to drag him along. "I thought this was what you wanted."

"It is." Kaoru murmured, trying not to notice how nice it was to be back in Hikaru's grasp.

"Then where's the smile?" he laughed and pulled his twin toward the airports coffee shop.

"I guess I just don't feel like smiling."

Hikaru furrowed his eyebrows and let go of his brother. "Wait here!" he demanded and ran off. Kaoru did as he was told, but slowly looked up at the clock. He only had about 15 minuets until his flight started letting people on the plane.

Hikaru was back quickly though, holding a large cup of coffee in one hand and a piece of white bread in the other. "You won't believe the way they looked at me in the shop. Have they never heard of someone ordering a piece of plain bread for their coffee?"

Hikaru was one of those weird people who like to experiment with food - fries in milkshake, marshmallow in milk and bread in coffee, was only a few of his many many experiments.

Kaoru smiled a little. "That's because it's only strange people like you who order that."

"Hmm, that smile was small, but I guess it was there," Hikaru mumbled, not seeming totally pleased yet. He opened the coffee and dipped the bread into the brown liquid. Then he lifted it toward Kaoru.

"Hurry, before it falls off!" Hikaru panicked, shoving the soaked piece of bread toward him.

"What? Here? Now?" Kaoru exclaimed, but hurried to put the bread in his mouth before it dripped on the whole floor. Hikaru bent over in laughter when the coffee spilled down Kaoru's chin from an overload of food.

Kaoru bent over, trying to catch the last drops, but it just ended up in a larger mess all over his face. He whined annoyed and turned around to gather himself, while Hikaru hurt his stomach in a fit of laughter.

"Not funny!" Kaoru complained when he had swallowed the food and discreetly wiping the coffee off his mouth with his (luckily) black sleeve.

"It was a little funny," Hikaru grinned, smiling widely. Kaoru looked at him for a second, something inside him tickled when he looked at Hikaru's smiling face and his lips slowly twisted in a smile.

"Okay, maybe a little funny," he admitted and his twin looked triumphant.

"Look, you haven't lost your smile," Hikaru said, making his brother tense when his finger lightly traced his lips. "Look, it's right under your nose, you just forgot it was there."

It is so weird, Hikaru could make him feel so many things in such a short amount of time, and it was only when he acted silly or ridiculous that Kaoru realized how much he liked him.

Kaoru looked at his brother for a second, trying to figure everything out. But he couldn't.

"Well," he finally said, catching his twin's attention. "I better get going."

"You do?" Hikaru whispered, looking at the clock.

"Yeah, my plane is leaving in about… 5 minuets," he checked on the clock and slowly turned around to head in the proper direction. Of course, Hikaru followed closely behind him.

The whole way to the gate they walked in silence, it was neither awkward nor comfortable, it was just silence. So when they finally came to the gate, Kaoru turned to his twin with a blank expression.

"I guess this is the place I tell you "goodbye"," he murmured, tucking a little in his shirt. Hikaru smiled weakly and rubbed the back of his neck. "You wont forget me, right?"

"Kaoru, how is that even possible," Hikaru laughed and then he grabbed his twin's wrist, pulling him into his chest. Kaoru exclaimed a gasp and stood stiff as a stick in the hug. "You're the one I love the most in the whole world, Kao." his twin told him quietly, squeezing him a little harder.

Kaoru slowly softened up, but still kept his hands loosely down his sides.

"Good," he just whispered and pulled away. He kept his eyes on the ground while he turned and emerged to the plane. He felt Hikaru's fingers trace his shoulder to stop him, but he didn't turn. The lady barely got time to check his ticket before he had rushed in.

He didn't look back once, because what would Hikaru say if he saw his teary eyes. That shouldn't be the last image in his head about him.

Kaoru luckily had a seat on one of the first rows, so he could sit down quickly. Once seated he buried his face in his palms, trying to force himself not to cry. Who was he kidding? He really liked Hikaru. He liked everything about him.

Why did this have to be so complicated? Why couldn't they just have hated each other to the end? He really wanted to stay now- no! He couldn't think like that, even if he liked Hikaru this was his future. In ten years he would detest himself for not taking this opportunity. Yeah, that was it…

Then why did the tears start flowing? Damn it!

ooo

Hikaru stood by the huge window at the airport. Looking at the plane that slowly drove out of it's parking spot, ready to leave, with Kaoru buckled safely in one of the comfy seats.

Hikaru hoped that there wasn't a baby or a talking old lady next to him. He hoped he would get some rest, and he hoped he wouldn't feel too sad.

He had been sad, all day actually. Because he would be losing something today, that always had been a part of him. Oh well, his friends would have to endure.

He grinned, looking down at the plane-ticket in his hand. His plane would be taking off and hour after Kaoru's, It was too bad that he hadn't been able to get a seat on the same plane as his brother, but this would have to do.

He looked out of the window, watching the plane take off. "Kaoru, I promise I'll find you. Wait for me."
