A/N Sorry for the long ass wait, but I didn't feel like typing on phone anymore so I had to wait till I got a computer again, also I decided this story will be a hikaruXkaoru story and if you don't ship that I'm sorry :o Just don't read it if you don't like the ship :)
Kaoru POV
I let out a long sigh as I laid in bed, staring at the ceiling. "Ugh!" I threw one of my pillows across the room. I looked over at our alarm clock, 2:15 AM... Great, I couldn't fall asleep, not after what I read earlier "You can't be this sick Hikaru.. " I looked over at my sleeping twin and couldn't help but smile, he looked so peaceful. I can't believe he was able to fall asleep after the four hour nap he took earlier but he is sick so it makes sense… Though nothing is certain, for all we know he could just have the flu or something, we wont find out till his doctors appointment tomorrow, I was able to get ahold of our parents earlier so they could make an appointment for him, they won't be able to make it back right away but I am suppose to call them after Hika's appointment…
After several more minutes of just laying here awake, my eyes finally start to get heavy and I soon find myself dozing off...
.-.-.-.-
"Kaoru...Kaoru...Kaoru."
"Ugh what?" I groaned out as I slowly open my eyes.
"We have school today, get up." Hikaru said as I turned over and looked at him.
"What time is it?" I raised an eyebrow as I notice he was already half dressed, this was a change, usually it's me who is waking him up to get ready.
"6:45" he replied as he looked in the mirror, fixing his tie.
"Okay, next question... Why are you up? Usually I would have to drag your half asleep body out of bed." Hikaru just rolled his eyes at me as he turned his attention to me instead of the uniform.
"I had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom so I finally gave in to my bladder and just decided to stay up." Frowning at that I had to ask,
"How long has this been going on?" He then gave me an annoyed look.
"Does it matter?"
'Yes!' "No, I guess not." I decided not to argue with him again, besides I'll get all my answers tomorrow, but now for the hard part.. "So ummm, I talked with mom and dad last night." I slowly got up and out of bed, making my way to the dresser.
"Umhm?" Hikaru shot me a warning glare but I ignored it as I continued,
"They made an appointment for you to go see a doctor." I sighed getting out my uniform and preparing myself for my brothers response but after being greeted with silence, I turned around to look at him and found it surprising that his face held a blank expression.
"Oh.." Was his reply after what felt like hours.
"Oh? That's it?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Mmm, I'm not going to get mad at you for caring about my health Kaoru, I do wish you would of told me you were going to do this but I'm not mad." He shrugged before grabbing his school bag and walking to leave the room "I'll be in the car, try not taking forever." He teased with a slight smile before disappearing…
I honestly was a bit speechless as I finished getting dressed, I mean I didn't expect him to yell at me or anything but I did expect a slight attitude from him.. He has been acting weird around me lately, I just thought it was because he's been sick.. Well I guess I should just be thankful he's not mad but I will be paying extra attention to him today to see if I can figure him out.
"Took you long enough." Hikaru chuckled as I got inside the awaiting limo.
"I'm sorry, I didn't get a head start like you did." I playfully pushed him "So, you promise you're not mad at me right?"
"Yes, I promise." He shock his head, smiling "Besides if our roles where reversed, I would of done the same thing so stop worrying will ya?"
I couldn't help but smile back as I pushed back my worry about what I read on the computer last night to the back of my mind, no sense in worrying myself all day about something that might not even be a big deal "Okay, no more worrying and thanks for being okay with all of this, I was almost certain I would've had to literally drag you to the doctors." In my defense, Hikaru is very stubborn.
"Yeah but if I don't go then you'll be stressing yourself out for nothing and we can't have that now can we?"
I chuckled as I rested my head on his shoulder and I couldn't help but notice him tense up as he quickly turned his head to look out the window.
What is up with him? It's like he nervous around me all of sudden.. I just hope everything is okay with him and that he'll tell me if anything is bothering him.
"Kaoru?" I hear him say softly.
"Hmm?" I lift up my head to look at him better.
"I'm sorry…" He said taking his gaze off the window and staring down at the floor
I just stared at him for a few seconds, what did he have to be sorry for? I decided to ask "Sorry for what?"
"For making you worry about me so much, You shouldn't have to.." He sighed still not lifting his head to look at me
"Hikaru," I placed my hand on his shoulder "Hikaru, look at me." He did so "You don't have to apologize for that, I'll always worry about you whether it's something big or small, just like you'll always worry about me."
He didn't look quite convinced but he nodded anyways and said "Yeah, okay." A small smile then tugged on his lips as he lightly hugged me "Thank you Kao, you're amazing."
I smiled as I returned the hug "So are you Hikaru."
"Young masters, we're here." Our driver announced as we broke the hug
"Ready fro school? How is your stomach feeling by the way? We probably should of taken today off.. " I said to him as we got out of our limo and began walking towards the academy doors
"Bleh! I guess, school is school but at least we have the host club to look forward to, and I'm fine, my stomach doesn't hurt all that bad and if it did then I would have had no problem taking the day off.."
I nodded but didn't say anything as we entered the academy and made our way to our homeroom class.
"Good morning Haruhi." both me and Hikaru said in unison as we entered the class and took our normal seats.
"Morning guys." The female host greeted before turning to face Hikaru "Are you feeling better?" She asked Hika, a hint of concern in her voice, but Hikaru just gave her the thumbs up as a wide smile spread across his face,
"Tons better actually!" He said trying to reassure her but I knew it was just act so we wouldn't worry about him "And I'm sorry about yesterday.." His smile then quickly faded as he looked the other way in embarrassment.
"Hey, don't worry about it, I'm just glad you're feeling better." Haruhi reassured him with a smile.
"Thanks." Hikaru returned the smile before turning his attention the front of the classroom
-.-.-.
The rest of the day kind of went by in a blur but like I said I was going to do, I kept a close eye on Hikaru and as the day went on I noticed how exhausted he was getting and towards our end classes he started to doze of a bit. I wasn't even sure if he would have the energy to do any hosting today but of course when I asked him if he would like to go home and rest he replied with,
"I'm fine Kao, honestly…. It's bad enough we're going to miss it tomorrow, I don't want to miss it today as well
I sighed but shrugged as we continued our way to music room 3 "If you feel sick will at least tell me?"
"Yeah sure but again, I feel fine.." I could tell he was getting a bit annoyed with me but he can give me attitude all he wants but I'm not going to stop worrying about him or asking if he feels well because I know for a fact he's lying to me
"Earth to Kaoruuuuu." I hear Hikaru say.
I shake my head and look over at him, I guess I sort of spaced out for a sec there "Huh?"
"I was talking to you and you were just staring off into space." He looked over at me as I chuckled slightly.
"I guess I just got lost in my thoughts is all." I said as we came to a stop at the music room doors.
"You do that a lot." He said as we opened the door only to be greeted by Kyoya.
"Kyoya-senpai? What are you doing ? Let us in." Hikaru said giving the vice president of the host club as much attitude as he could, but of course Kyoya was unaffected by this and spoke in his usual calm voice.
"Host club has been canceled in till further notice."
I raised an eyebrow at him as Hikaru looked extremely annoyed, this was a little weird, why out of all people would Kyoya cancel host club, that would mean we would loose money.. But as if he was reading my mind he said,
"These orders come from Tamaki so if you want to ask questions then find him."
"Whatever, Kaoru lets just go home." Hikaru huffed as he walked away from the music room Hikaru huffed as he walked away from the music room with me following close behind.
"Well we have the rest of the afternoon to ourselves, what do you wanna do?" I asked as I caught up to him and looked over at him to see him shrug "That's all I get? A shrug, jeez Mr, talkative ."
"I'm sorry.. I just don't have anything to say." And once those words came out of his mouth, I took the two extra steps I needed to take to be in front of him
"Wait," I put my hand out to stop him in his tracks, causing him to give me a quizzical look "You've been acting weird around me lately and I'm not letting either of us leave this school till you give me a reason why." I said looking him straight in the eyes "Did I do something to upset you? Are you mad at me? And what can I do to fix it?"
He just stared at me for a few seconds before frowning deeply and taking a step back "Kao.." His voice seemed to crack more and more as he continued "It's not you! You did nothing wrong! It's me, I'm a horrible person and I wish I could tell you but I-I can't! You'll hate me and please lets just drop it! I'm not ever going to tell you! So get over it!" He then pushed past me and walked quickly towards the exit of the school, leaving me stunned in my place.
"Hikaru.." I sighed turning around "What is going on in that head of yours." I said to myself as I slowly started walking the same way Hikaru ran off in.
A/N Weeeeellll This was short and crappy I know xD But I haven't updated in forever and I felt like I needed to get something out there but the next chap should be longer and waaaaay more exciting and it will be in Hika's POV so you'll be able to see what's going on in that crazy head of his ^^ Also I have to point out, in this story Kaoru is not going to be the weak pathetic person some people make him out to be -_- Because he's far from it! And honestly he's more independent than Hikaru is, he's just a bit shy is all but it annoys me when people think he's this weak character that needs someone to protect him all the time, soooo if you like Kaoru that way then that's fine but he's not going to be that character in this story.
(Working title) Hikaru has been feeling off as of late and and him and Kaoru just brush it off as just a stomach bug at first but soon find out it'd much more serious than that. Hikaru also discovers he loves his brother more than a brother but can never admit it to him in fear of Kaoru hating him forever.
