Konichiwa! Long time no see! Again I've come out with a pretty late chapter. Eh, sorry. (School, writers block, procrastination) But! Little by little I've managed to finish this thing! Please enjoy! :D


DATE AND TIME: August 3rd 3:30pm

POV: Hikaru

I storm the halls, yelling Kyoya's name from the top of my lungs. Where the hell was he?

"What?"

I turn, finding Kyoya leaning against the hallway walls.

"Oh!" I exclaim, grinning ear to ear. "There you are! I need to talk to you."

"Talk."

I look down the hallways on my left and right. Student's still linger in the halls.

"Alone."

He looks down at his watch, seeming a bit stressed about something.

"I'm busy." he says, pushing up his glasses, and looking down at his notebook, somewhat annoyingly.

No.

I grab his arm, dragging him down the hall.

"Hikaru, get off of me!" he shouts in protest.

"No!" I yell back, squeezing my eyes shut. "You can't just blow this off!"

I had finally gotten the confidence to confess this. He wouldn't just deny me like I was some pest.

Like I was nothing to him.

Finding a random classroom, I toss him inside, a little more violently then I had planned. He jerks away from me, smoothing down his uniform.

"What's this about, Hikaru?" he says, calm, despite my actions in the hallway.

I state the obvious. "I needed to talk to you."

"What now?" he sighs, seeming to give up any fight he had left. I hesitate. Was I prepared to be rejected? To be pushed away?

Or even accepted?

I don't know.

"I love you, Kyoya!" I force out the words, squeezing my eyes shut as I say them. When I open them, I gaze at Kyoya. He stares at me, emotions of horror and confusion flashing through his eyes.

"Stop kidding around Hikaru." he says, calm again. He does that annoying thing with his glasses, pushing them up. "I don't have time for you and your brothers idiotic games."

"I'm not kidding around Kyoya!" I shout at him, clenching my fists as hard as I could so I didn't slap him out of anger. My fingernails dug into my palms.

He is pissing me off.

"I don't have time for-" Before he can finish, I lunge at him, my lips smashing into his, my hands digging into his thick hair. His lips were unlike anything I've ever imagined, though if he would kiss back, I'm sure it would be ten times better. I relish in the moment, knowing this was not going to happen again.

I feel him struggling to get away from me, with little success. He was intelligent, but it didn't seem like his strength overruled mine.

Just...just a moment more.. I think, thoughts pleading with an almost obsessive urgency.

I reluctantly pull away, taking a step back. I smirk. I had finally done it. After all this time I had finally-

Smack!

"What.." Kyoya, stutters. My cheek stings painfully. "What the hell!?" He wipes his lips and a sharp pain punctures me. Was I really that bad of an option?

He takes a step away from me, and stumbles on a desk, taking him by surprise. I act quickly.

"Kyoya!" I shout, darting my arm out and snatching him by the shirt before he hit the ground. He opens his tightly closed eyes, staring at me with an almost annoyed 'thank you'. I stare back, my heart racing.

I hear something move on my right. Kaoru stands behind a large desk, eyes glistening with unshed tears. He runs out of the room. I release Kyoya and chase after him.

"Ka-Kaoru! Wait!" I shout, forcing my legs to sprint faster. Kaoru turns a corner, his foot turning oddly, and he falls to the ground hard. "Kaoru!" I yell. I kneel on the ground next to him.

Tears stream down his face as I pull him into my arms.

"I'm sorry." I say, honestly. "I didn't know you were in there."

I had made him cry.

Again.

He holds me tightly against his him, and I cling to him as well.

A strange feeling builds up in my chest. It is something almost painful, foreign.

What was this feeling?

It felt almost like-

Kaoru pushes me away.

"Wha-"

"I love you!" he shouts. "I love you so much and you don't even notice, do you?"

I stare at him, my mind coming to a dead-end. He knew I loved him. Did he feel ignored, or something?

"What are you saying, Kaoru? I love you too! Of course I would notice!" I say.

He puts a hand over his eyes and laughs. This laugh is different. It is morbid, almost like I had made a dark, twisted joke.

What was happening to my brother?

All of a sudden, his lips came crashing into mine.

I am in shock. I don't understand. What is he doing?

Is this what he really means by loving me?

Why is my heart beating so fast?

I try to pull away, and he lets me go with little hesitation.

"Wait-" I start.

"I love you, Hikaru." he says softly, gazing at me with love so strongly it made my heart ache. His eyes sparkled with a sort of amazement.

"Kaoru..." My voice was shaking slightly from the bewilderment. "You know we can't. It's not right and I love Kyoya."

'But do you really?' My heart whispers.

I ignore it.

He stares at me with so much pain, so much hurt. It breaks my heart even more because I knew exactly what he was feeling.

He turns away from me. I stare at him for a moment longer, not wanting to leave my brother on the floor, broken like this.

But, I can't face him. Not now.

I turn to get up, looking over my shoulder once more to gaze at his broken figure.

"I'm sorry." I whisper. He shrinks even smaller with my words and I regret saying anything.

I turn my head back towards the empty hallways and walk away.
