I pulled up in front of the house and turned the car off. I got out and walked to the door. I pressed the bell and watched as one of the upstairs lights turned on. I waited nervously, not entirely sure what to expect.

When the door opened and I saw the familiar mop of pitch black hair, I relaxed slightly.

"Kaoru? What are you doing here?" he asked while rubbing his eyes.

"Umm...something happened...c-can I come in?." I asked while looking down and rubbing my arm nervously.

"Umm...sure." he said after thinking for a moment.

"Thanks."

*Mini Time Skip*

"So what happened with you and Hikaru?" Kyoya asked as he handed me a cup of coffee and sat next to me on the couch.

"Why do you assume something happened between us?" I questioned.

"Multiple reasons, the largest one being that you came to me, rather than him." he replied.

I looked down at my cup before speaking. "I left."

"Because of Harhui?" he said.

"Partially." I replied.

I looked up and he arched an eyebrow.

I sighed. "Harhui represented the growing space between me and Hikaru. I eventually decided that is was best to just let go." I explained.

"But you didn't want to."

I shook my head. "No. And he didn't want me to. But I knew it was for the best."

"So how'd Hikaru take it?"

"He tried to get me to stay but he realized that it hurt me to stay so...he let me go." I replied while looking down.

"Hmm..." he replied while nodding.

"So...I need a place to stay for a while and I wanted to know if I could stay here?" I said hopefully.

"Sure."

"Kyoya sempai, it won't be for long, just until-...wait...did you say sure?" I asked, not sure if I heard correctly.

"Yes."

"No argument or anything...just sure?" I said.

"Yes."

"...okay, what's the catch?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You're Kyoya Ootori. You don't don't do things unless you get something out of them. So what do you want? Info? Money? For someone to disappear?" I questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"No, no, and no." he replied.

"Then what do you want?" I asked.

"Nothing. Despite popular belief, I do do things that don't benefit myself...all the time." he finished.

"Uh huh..." I replied, not fully believing him. "Well I'm feeling tired, gonna go get some clothes out of the car." I said as I got up.

"No need. Just borrow some of mine." he said, getting up as well.

"..." I looked at him.

"You'll of course pay for their cleaning afterwards." he finished, giving me his infamous smirk and heading towards the stairs.

I nodded. "That's the Kyoya I know." I said as he lead the way to his bedroom.

I heard him chuckle as we walked.

*Time Skip*

"K-Kyoya sempai?" I asked nervously as I poked my head in his room.

He looked up from whatever his was writing in his black book and gave me a questioning look.

"Umm...I wanted to know if I could maybe sleep in your bed? I usually sleep with Hikaru, but Harhui recently took that spot...but even then, we still shared a room." I said while looking down and expecting a no in reply.

"Well sleeping in the bed with me is out of the question, but you can stay in the room." He said while closing his book.

I looked up in surprise. "Really?"

"For the time being, yes." he replied while pushing up his glasses.

"Thank you Kyoya sempai." I said as I laid on the couch in the room.

*Dream Sequence*

"Kaoru!"

I looked around the white room seeing nothing, but hearing my brother call me.

"H-Hikaru?" I called, trying to locate the voice.

"Kaoru, why?" he asked in a sad voice, still not showing him self.

"Why what?" I asked while walking over to one of the walls and trying to feel for a door.

"Why'd you leave me? Why did you break your promise?" he asked.

I froze. "...I didn't."

"Yes you did!" he yelled.

"No I didn't. You broke it!" I yelled back.

"Why didn't you come talk to me?"

"About what? And how would that conversation gone anyways? 'Hikaru, I don't want you to be in love with Haruhi. I want you to love me, even though we're brothers and you're straight.' Huh? Is that what you wanted?" I yelled.

He didn't respond.

I got angry and moved away from the wall, back to the center of the room.

"Don't leave now that things aren't going your way!" I yelled.

I still received no reply.

"Hikaru...Hikaru...Hikaru!...Hikaru answer me! You owe me that much!" I yelled.

He still didn't respond.

"So you're just gonna leave? You're just gonna abandon? Or are you gonna give me brief shimmers of hope, and make me think that I have a chance of making things go back to the way they were, all the while knowing things can never go back to the way they were?" I yelled while falling to my knees.

"Is that what you want? To torture me with what I want, but know I can never have again? Are you just doing this to be cruel? Are you trying to hurt me?" I yelled as I dropped my head and felt tears running down the expanse of pale skin that made up my face.

I stayed like that for a while. Crying and shaking on my hands and knees, waiting for a response that I knew I wasn't going to receive.

"Kaoru..."

I looked up, hearing a voice softly calling my name.

"Hikaru...?" I called softly, my voice horse from crying.

"Kaoru." they called again.

I looked around, but still saw nothing other then the white walls.

"Kaoru..."
