Um...so about being finished by now...well, apparently the muses didn't want to let this go. Also, I wanted to say that I love how cute the twins are together. Even though in this story they aren't lovers, they're still really close. And snuggly and cuddly. Also, I don't know if Kyouya is completely in character. Sorry 'bout that.
All of that alcohol, Kaoru decided several hours and even more bottles later, had been a bad idea. Hikaru had, as always, kept up with him, but that actually made things worse. One drunk Hitachiin led to somewhat stupid decisions. Two of them meant worldwide disaster.
"Don' know why he had to get so," Kaoru was briefly distracted by the way his hand, which he'd been waving around for emphasis, seemed blurrier than usual.
"Huh?" Hikaru was giggling, rolling back and forth over the king-sized bed.
"So..." Kaoru was confused now. What had he been talking about? Oh, right, Kyouya. "Well, so sexy for one. Did you see his ass? I saw his ass. Up close and personal-like. Yesterday. It was sexy. Sexy sexy sexy."
"I don't get it," Hikaru said carefully, trying very hard not to slur, "I mean, what's wrong with wanting to hang out with him? I think he's cool. Evil, you know? Like me. 'S that why you like 'im?"
Kaoru thought about this very seriously. Then he pictured Kyouya with ginger hair and his brother with glasses and started laughing.
"You'd make a funny Kyouya!" His alcohol-weakened knees buckled with the force of his laughter, sending him crashing to the floor. If it hurt, Kaoru didn't notice.
"So why d'you like him then?" Hikaru crawled over to Kaoru, staring at his face from inches away.
"'Cause he's Kyouya," Kaoru said, tone suggesting that the question was stupid. "He's funny and smart and evil and...stuff. You know? Just. Yeah. Oh, and sexy. Sexy sexy sexy."
"Hey!" Hikaru tried to jump to his feet but didn't get any farther than sitting up with his hands in the air. "You should tell Kyouya that! Everyone likes to be told they're sexy. Maybe it'll cheer him up!"
Kaoru blinked slowly several times before he understood. "Yeah! C'mon! Let's get someone to drive us over there. Then we can tell him that he's smart and sexy. But will it make him feel better if he already knows? He can't not know. He's so smart. And sexy. Sexy sexy sexy."
Hikaru giggled and they went to get the driver. He was a little apprehensive about taking the drunk boys anywhere, but they were the bosses, so the driver didn't have a choice. A braver man might have refused, especially upon finding out that they wanted to go to the Ootori mansion. This driver, however, had seen what the twins did to employees who disobeyed them, and it wasn't pretty.
"You're such a good employee," Hikaru cooed, leaning up and wrapping his arms around the driver's neck.
"Let's give him a raise!" Kaoru purred, nuzzling the driver's right shoulder.
"Um, thank you very much, Mr. Hikaru and Mr. Kaoru, I really appreciate the gesture. But, er, could you please let me go? I can't concentrate on driving with you grabbing me like that."
They let go of him and cuddled together in the back seat. The man gulped loudly, aware of the gossip that said they were lovers, and told himself firmly to keep his eyes on the road and not on the twins tangled together in the rear-view mirror.
By the time they arrived at the Ootori household, the driver was a nervous wreck and the twins were sleepy. They stumbled out of the car while the driver held the door, slurred a thank you, and used each other for support as they made their way to the door.
The maid who answered the door intelligently didn't remark on the visitors' disheveled appearances, choosing, instead, to show them to Kyouya's room. She wondered if her boss' bad mood today was somehow related to the boys' visit. Kyouya had said that he didn't want to be disturbed, but she was hoping that the twins would cheer him up.
When they walked into Kyouya's room, the older boy glared at them, then at the maid who was already leaving. Although he hadn't taken to alcohol like the boys in front of him, he was still in no mood to be accepting guests.
"Kyouya!" Kaoru giggled happily. Kyouya was making his angry face, which, as it always seemed to lately, looked shiver-inducingly sexy. "Sexy sexy sexy," he sighed, making Kyouya stop his angry approach.
"Excuse me?" he asked.
"Oops! Did I say that out loud?" Kaoru looked to Hikaru, who was leaning against the doorframe in an attempt to stay upright while laughing. Hikaru nodded violently, before resting his head against the wall, still giggling.
"Why are you here?" He ended up sounding more tired than angry. This whole day had been difficult and he really didn't want to deal with the reason behind that.
"We wanted to come cheer you up," Hikaru said from his new position, sitting against the wall with his legs splayed in front of him.
"You seemed angry and sad. So we wanted to come tell you that you should cheer up because," then Kaoru was distracted by his waving hand again.
"Why did you think you should come cheer me up," Kyouya really tried to be patient.
"Oh! Right! Because I don't like it when you're sad. And because I made you sad. I didn't want to make you sad. I wanted to make you not sad. But you got angry. Your angry face is sexy, but I don't want you to be angry with me."
"Ah," Kyouya tried regain some of his eloquence after hearing Kaoru say, for the second time in as many minutes, that he was sexy., "so how did you think to cheer me up?"
"Huh?" Kaoru looked over to Hikaru for help, only to find his big brother snoring softly on the ground next to the bookshelf. "I was going to tell you that you're sexy. Being told you're sexy cheers people up, right? Even if they already know it? Because you should already know. You know, like, everything, so there's no way you didn't know you were sexy. Sexy sexy sexy..."
A silly smile worked its way to Kaoru's lips as he stared at Kyouya's face. His skin was so smooth and creamy, and his hair was delightfully disheveled. The mouth that looked capable of so many wicked things, however, was still not happy looking. Maybe a kiss would fix that.
Kaoru wrapped his arms around Kyouya's neck, sighed happily, and kissed him firmly on the mouth. It was a short kiss, positively chaste, but it made his insides warm pleasantly. He made another sleepy happy noise, moved his arms from Kyouya's neck to his waist, and snuggled his face into his chest.
Meanwhile, Kyouya looked shell-shocked. Logically, there was no way Kaoru would kiss him. There was certainly no way he was trying to hug Kyouya into being cheerful. And he'd kissed him. On the mouth. A kiss!
"What are you trying to do?" Kyouya refused to believe this was anything but a joke.
"Snuggle," Kaoru yawned, still rubbing his cheek against Kyouya's shirt, enjoying the softness of the fabric over the firmness of Kyouya. "I'm sleepy, Kyouya."
"And what am I supposed to do about it?" He didn't mean to snap, but Kaoru had surprised him, and Kyouya hated surprises.
"Tuck me in?" Kaoru ignored Kyouya's angry voice. He'd learned that angry Kyouya was usually confused Kyouya. Unless, of course, he was really angry Kyouya, but that sounded different.
Kyouya hesitated for a moment. He was still not happy with the twins and still wasn't sure if he should trust them, but it wouldn't do to let them leave in the state they were in. Guiding Kaoru gently to the bed, Kyouya pulled the covers back, laid Kaoru down, and pulled them over the boy.
"Where's Hikaru?" Kaoru blinked at Kyouya who was not going to admit how cute he looked. "I want Hikaru."
"Okay," Kyouya conceded, "I'll bring him over here. You stay there." He walked over to the older twin, pulled him up, and got him to the bed next to Kaoru. The two of them grabbed for each other, wrapping arms and legs together. When they were firmly entangled, they stopped and finally went to sleep.
Kyouya sighed, almost chuckling at the situation. Apparently he was going to be sleeping in the connecting guest room. He could have put the twins there, but that would have been more difficult than he felt like handling at the moment.
Not worrying about hiding his rueful smile, Kyouya walked over to his desk and continued working. There was no reason to leave the room yet, and he still had work to do. Besides, it didn't hurt that he could look over at Kaoru, who looked absolutely adorable cuddled with Hikaru, whenever he wanted.
Good? Bad? At least I got in a kiss already! And there will be more to come. Hopefully within the next couple chapters. I swear, when I started writing, it was supposed to be a one-shot with a lemon. And now we're on the 5th chapter with only a single drunken kiss to show for it. And it wasn't even steamy! Silly boys...less talking more making out!
