Impersonations ch. 5

They were silent as they made their way back to their dorm. Neither had spoken since the mission. Rin looked down into Yukio's eyes, while his eyes had a worried look and Yukio had a face that was void of any emotion as usual. Rin bit his lip from his nerves. The mission did not go well.

He was half excited and half nervous, about having to live up to such a reputation of being able to take out a demon with one shot. Yukio just watched him from a distance since he couldn't defend his twin directly. Rin was stoked on the way there but froze up when he saw what Yukio had to deal with on a regular basis. Demons were coming at him left and right as it rained and thundered. He tried his best to hit as many as he could but his hand froze on the trigger of the foreign weapon.
If he were in his own body he would have just unsheathed his sword and let loose his flames. He realized that Yukio isn't usually just shooting, and hitting by luck. It was indeed skill.. a lot of skill. He was frozen in fear when a large demon. His hand froze.

"Niisan shoot!" Yukio shouted but Rin just stood there in shock. It was coming at him fast, his eyes wide in fear. And then he fell.

They were now in their dorm. Yukio sat at his desk studying and Rin just nervously sat on his bed, messing with the glasses. He wasn't used to wearing them yet. Rin studied the back of the figure in the chair. Seeing himself but being outside his body was really starting to freak him out. And seeing himself so... calm. Being in his own body sometimes, for some strange reason it was hard for him to control all his energy and he did end up looking like... a spaz.
He knew he should say something. They hadn't spoken all day since cram class.

"Hey Yukio," The figure visibly stiffened at being called.

"Yes Niisan."

"I-I'm... sorry... about what happened today."

Yukio sighed.

"It's alright. No one said this would be easy."

"No it's not alright. I-I don't know what happened! I just panicked!" He realized that he was standing now, and flailing his arms about awkwardly. Yukio smirked at this, showing the fangs.

"See. I told you, you talk with your arms too much."

"No I don't!" He shouted, flailing his arms around, again. He pouted and put his arms back at his sides.

"Don't pout. It looks weird on my face." Rin just smirked at this.

"We have the same face except for these moles and your horrible eyesight." He said as he messed with the glasses.

"Oh whatever."

He realized Yukio was struggling with his bangs as he read. Rin just sighed and walked over to the desk, clipping the bangs back for him. The milisecond of physical contact left where Rin's hand had been a flame. He absentmindedly touched the spot on his forehead. Rin was oblivious to this as he walked back over to his bed.

"Yukio,"

"Yes?"

"About class. I'm sorry I made you look like... a fool."

He sighed again. These apologies are getting annoying.

"It's alright. Really. I canceled all the classes for the rest of the week."

This didn't make Rin feel any better. He eventually agreed and said he could do it but he let his younger twin down. And he honestly felt really bad. Even though Yukio was always so stoic, he could tell he was upset about it. It was easy to see in his icey blue eyes instead of Yukio's unreadable aqua-green ones.

"Ok."

Rin was knocked to the ground as Yukio took the gun from him and saved him from the creature. All the other exorcists stared in shock that the exquire hadn't missed by a hair. And that the other was a shaking heap of fear on the ground.He's usually so excited by this stuff. What's wrong with him? Yukio thought.
Rin was shaking in fear, realizing that whenever Yukio left on these mysterious missions. There was always a huge chance that his younger brother might not come back.

Yukio just stared at Rin's expression that went from nervous, to depressed, to horrified. Yukio stared in concern.

"Hey Rin,"

He didn't resopnd.

"Niisan." Rin finally looked up.

"Yeah."

"Are you ok?".

Rin faked a smile, except it didn't look like the usual evil smirk. It came off as soft and warm on Yukio's soft features.

"Yup."

-Later that night

The room was silent until small whimpers were echoed off the walls. Rin peaked his head up at the noise and sighed. He knew exactly what this was. Yukio's face was contorted in pain as he slept. Rin got out of bed and went over to Yukio. He studied the face for a while. The fangs were bared in pain and his brows scrunched in discomfort. Rin was kneeling at his bedside when the ice blue eyes shot open. He made a whine of pain.

"Is it a migraine?" He asked. His twin didn't answer and just slowly sat up. He clutched his head in agony.

"I get them all the time."

"Really? Why didn't you tell me? I am a docter you know."

Rin ignored his question and just started heading toward the bathroom. He got a washcloth and wet it with cold water. Rin averted his gaze from the mirror. The shock of it all still hadn't gone away. He came back into the room and gently sat the washcloth on his head. It was silent for a while in the dark room.

"I don't like being more of a burden then I already am." He said, answering the question from before. Yukio opened his mouth to speak but winced in pain.

"I know what an inconvenience I can be to you." He stood and went back to his bed. Yukio opened his mouth again but nothing came out.

No No, please don't think that. It's the complete opposite. Your the only thing keeping me going. I lo... His thoughts were cut off as he fell to darkness from the pain.
