Again I apologize for taking long with this chapter. v_v

I added some song lyrics to the begining of this chapter because I felt they really went with it and the nature the twins' realtionship seems to be taking in this fic.

Children behave

That's what they say when we're together

And watch how you play

They don't understand

And so we're running just as fast as we can

Holding on to one another's hand

Trying to get away into the night

And then I put my arms around you

And you tumble to the ground

And then you say 'I think we're alone now'

For what probably seemed like far too long to Hikaru, the twins stood in silence and then Kaoru released his hold on the elder making his way toward the large bed they used to share and plopped himself on it. He took in a deep breath and sighed very quietly before gazing up at Hikaru who looked completely baffled and then proceeded to pat at the spot next to him on the bed. That dismal smile he'd worn earlier now replaced by a softer more pleased-looking one.

The older Hitachiin simply did as he was requested and sat down beside his brother, whose actions were beginning to run a bit on the bi-polar side in his opinion. But the brunette kept his mouth shut just listening to the silence that enveloped Kaoru and himself. He stared at the ginger-hair that sat in tufts around his brother's head, slightly afraid of making complete eye contact with said person. If this was going to be the only peaceful moment the two of them shared that night then he didn't want to ruin it.

Finally, the younger twin broke his silence, leaning himself a little closer to his brother. Determined amber pools reflected into identical much more confused ones. The redhead's hand resting just behind where his brother sat, the space between the two was miniscule.

Kaoru's breath was shaky as he closed the gap between his brother and himself. The flush of his cheeks seemed evidence enough that he was nervous and all the while Hikaru sat clueless beside him. The younger twin had called him over only to not say a word to him and continue acting just as strangely as ever. But this was the only way Kaoru thought to express himself properly.

"W-what are you doing…" For once the elder twin sounded unsure of himself; almost submissive toward his younger twin whose hand came to rest on his cheek and whose breath had just ghosted against said cheek.

Kaoru merely shook his head before mustering up all his courage to bring his lips to meet Hikaru's, meshing the identical pair's together. The redhead savored the gentle kiss he'd been allowed to give his brother and pulled away moments later, a shade of furious red. He made sure not to meet the gaze of what he knew was a very perplexed Hikaru.

"I love you Hikaru." His voice was barely above a whisper and he hoped that was all the information his older brother would need to put all the pieces together.

Of course that was enough and more, but the bewildered twin made no effort to move from his spot. Only his left hand raised from the position it had been in previously to touch the lips that had been so gracefully taken only moments before. Hikaru seemed almost statuesque in his wonder and Kaoru's brows knit together in worry. Perhaps he'd done the wrong thing and gotten himself into another mess.

For what seemed like an eternity the twins sat in silence on the bed they'd once shared until finally Hikaru let out a deep sigh. And ran a hand through brunette locks. "So you…" The elder didn't finish his sentence and then brought his head down as well, still horrendously confused. He wasn't quite sure what to make of his brother's actions and in all honesty didn't exactly hate the feeling of Kaoru's lips pressed to his own, but wouldn't it be wrong if he said he liked it?

"I know…it's weird huh?" The redhead finally brought up his gaze to meet a downturned one. Kaoru gazed at his brother's tufts of ashen brown hair and the side of his face.

Hikaru's eyes were focused on his own shoes; the ones he wore to school. He hadn't even changed out of his school uniform and his brother was already seemingly half-naked.

"I don't know why…but I-I-I've just always wanted to do that." Finally the younger male sighed out his confession; now looking away from his twin. Was it really so wrong to be in love with the one and only person you had really depended on your entire life? Sure Haruhi was lovely. She was a sweet enough girl and actually was able to tell the two of them apart, but Kaoru was sure there would be no one on this earth who would understand him the way Hikaru did. And vice versa. But he had to be sure Hikaru felt the same way.

The redhead took in a shaky breath and sent his amber orbs down at his own bare feet, hoping he had not said too much. But his older brother reached a hand toward Kaoru's chin and forced the younger twin to stare back into that identical pair of eyes.

The younger redhead swallowed a large lump that had grown in his throat and gazed cautiously back at his brother who was…smiling?

And then it happened again. This time more swiftly then the first because perhaps it was Hikaru, the more eager twin, who was initiating it. The identical pairs of lips met each other, Hikaru's more forceful than Kaoru's had been earlier. The elder twin had had similar feelings to Kaoru's. He just never wanted to admit them to himself or anyone else. Apparently Kaoru had been more aware of things than Hikaru, but that was no surprise. Most often Kaoru had been the more observant twin.

But Hikaru was a little displeased with his twin for keeping silent about all this for so long. They never were supposed to keep secrets from each other. He brought a hand into the tendrils that were his brother's ginger-colored hair and grasped at them attempting to deepen the kiss by sliding his tongue against Kaoru's lips.

The younger was shocked at first, but moments later gave in to the seemingly passionate kiss, winding his arms around his brother's waist. This was probably, out of everything the two of them had ever gotten into, the most taboo of all. But neither boy thought about that in their heated moment as tongues explored mouths that were supposed to be identical, but were so apparently different neither twin could possibly break himself away.

Kaoru's hand shifted and he started tugging at his brother's uniform shirt to tug it out of his slacks. As soon as he'd made a space between the elder's skin and the fabric of the shirt he snaked his hand up against his brother's back, fingers going directly for Hikaru's spine as he caressed it gently.

The brunette made a breathy sound from the sensation of Kaoru's digits sliding up and down his spine. It was apparent that the younger twin had been yearning for these touches and the proximity between the two of them because he quickly began pulling Hikaru to the head of the bed where he brought his head down on the pillows.

The break in their kiss was momentary as the two made their way wherever Kaoru was leading and positioned themselves more comfortably. At this point the older twin had already kicked off his dress shoes meant usually only for school and special occasions. Now he was straddling his twin's hips as the fire was rekindled with another simple meeting of identical lips.

However, Hikaru parted his lips from Kaoru's to allow the redhead some room to undo the buttons on his own shirt. Considering the younger was already partially undressed there was no need to undo any buttons on him.

Once the buttons were at long last undone Hikaru brought his lips again to his brother's. This was a sort of unconscious action between the two boys. They were riding off of some sort of high perhaps induced by the very much needed closeness the two of them needed fairly desperately from each other.

Identical pairs of hands explored the exposed portions of the opposite's body. The brunette's shirt fluttered a little around Kaoru's hands. It had been undone, but left to cling to the young male's body as his twin examined the contours of the anatomy that was supposed to be exactly like his own. However, it could not have been any more foreign and the younger twin let his fingers wander about his brother's physique, lingering at the small of his back where he traced circles around the dip there before unexpectedly sending a hand beneath Hikaru's pant line.

Kaoru received a sharp gasp from the brunette whose back arched the slightest bit more upward at the chill brush of his brother's cool fingers against the unsuspecting flesh that sat just above the curve of the muscle that could also be referred to as his hindquarters.

With this sensation coursing through him Hikaru unintentionally bucked his hips down, crashing them into Kaoru's and reproducing a strident groan from the other. The younger twin didn't even bother to bite back the sound as he replayed the elder's actions, but instead thrusting himself upward.

"Uh…K-Kaoru…w-what…" The brunette breathed his brother's name out and was about to question his action's but of course reason lost to the body which was more vocal with its needs. Hikaru began to grind himself against his brother rhythmically, both boys grunting as the action progressed into something more than innocent kissing and curiosity.

Kaoru grassed the back of Hikaru's shirt in his left hand, his head planted firmly in the crook of the brunette's neck just before he made yet another pleasured sound. It wasn't necessarily muffled despite the fact that both their parents were home, but at the moment the twins felt uninhibited. They were both having one of the most delicious moments of unadulterated honesty one cold share with the person one loved.

Both Hikaru and Kaoru had managed, if only for a moment to break out of any preconceived notions they'd built up and were allowing the other to see for himself just exactly what it was each male wanted to share in their ever-growing and now horribly taboo relationship.

Very nearly identical sounding voices came faster paced now as the twins' breathing hitched in synch. It would seem they were both about to come at the very same moment when the door of their once shared room swung open and their mother burst in. Or at least her voice did first and both pairs of amber hues widened in a perturbed fashion. The two male's stared at each other and immediately felt slightly dirty after their eyes met.

A feminine voice could be heard in a shrill sound as Yuzuha Hitachiin caught her sons in perhaps a most compromising position. She coughed out of anxiety to what she'd just possibly discovered, but instantaneously began reasoning with herself.

"Boys, start packing. We're going on vacation." Her voice cracked in the middle of the sentence, but she kept reassuring herself that her sons were not engaging in some forbidden act and this was all merely a misunderstanding. She decided not to even bother asking them about it. As long as she pretended it wasn't true then it wasn't.

With that the beautiful designer curtly exited the room. To anyone who was observing her, Yuzuha probably seemed as if she was about to vomit, but she managed to hold down the urge and dashed down the stairs to search for her husband who could hopefully take her mind off of what she'd just witnessed.

In her wake, the Hitachiin twins' mother left two seemingly shameful twins. After seeing his mother's face Kaoru had curled up into himself, back facing his twin.

A sigh escaped Hikaru's mouth as he lay on his back on the vast bed beside his twin. He wanted to speak, but no words would form so they both lay there in silence for what probably seemed like an endless amount of time.

Eventually, the elder twin worked up some courage to speak up and turned over to Kaoru, touching a cheek that flinched at his fingers. The expression on Kaoru's face was dejected and he now wrapped his arms around the legs that had become a bit sticky from the cum that had seeped out during the shock of finding your mother had witnessed you getting your kicks with your very own twin brother.

"Look…whatever that was I don't think it was wrong. But maybe we shouldn't tell other people. We could keep it a secret couldn't we? Something only meant for us." The brunette whispered to his brother as he inclined his body around the curve of Kaoru's own balled up form. He wrapped an arm over his brother and bit his own lip.

The elder twin was angry. Furious even. And he couldn't believe he was so upset with his very own mother for ruining what he thought was one of the most perfect moments he was finally able to share with his brother. And now he wondered if the ever-introverted younger Hitachiin would exhibit this behavior with him ever again.

He knew most people would find what they'd just done vulgar and disgusting, but to him it had been almost beautiful. After so many years of dependence upon one another the two had slowly began to grow apart at Kaoru's insistence and now Hikaru finally understood why. But would Kaoru ever say those words to him now that he felt even more repulsive about the way he felt.

"If it's any consolation…I know I didn't say it, but I thought perhaps it was understood. Either way…I love you too Kaoru. "The older twin blinked at the redhead in the darkness that was now creeping up through their window.
