Hikaru sat at the mahogany desk in the corner of his spacious room.
He tapped his pencil lightly against his cheek as he solved a math question,
and quickly jotted it down. Math was a simple subject for him, so it didn't
take him long to finish it. After he packed away all of his books, he shuffled
groggily to his bed and collapsed face down into a pillow.
"Why did I think of that game?" He said into the pillow, though it
just came out as muffled gibberish. It's true, it's only meant for fun and
games, but Hikaru couldn't shake this feeling in his gut that this game could
spin out of control. Still, he couldn't help but wonder who really was
Haruhi's favorite.
Hikaru tried to stop thinking about Haruhi and the game, but he just
couldn't, and it was eating his stomach inside out. Speaking of eating, Hikaru
was really hungry, and crawled of the bed, towards the door. After walking
down the hallway for what seemed like forever, he came to the second kitchen,
and stepped inside.
When he first entered He didn't realize what he was seeing. Then it
hit him like a ton of bricks.
"Kaoru... KAORU GET THE CAMERA!" Hikaru yelled as he ran into the hallway.
Suddenly, he was knocked to the ground, which resulted in two identical
thuds.
"What is it Hikaru?" Kaoru asked, rubbing his head where they had collided.
"Kaoru...! The maids...! Yuki... Miyabi... They were kissing in the kitchen!
You should've seen it, they were all into it and-"
"HIKARU, shut up! that's not that important!" Kaoru scolded.
"But... maids... making... out..."
"Hikaru, it's not that interesting."
"Kaoru, are you sure you're not gay?" Hikaru joked.
Kaoru immediately blushed and looked away, but said nothing.
"Kaoru... look at me. Are you gay?" Hikaru said seriously this time. Kaoru's
eyes started to water.
"It's not important! I don't know! Maybe!" Kaoru yelled as he got up. after a
second of hesitation, Kaoru bolted down the hallway to the closest exit,
Hikaru hot on his tail.
"Kaoru WAIT!" Hikaru called after him as Kaoru made his way through the back
passage. Kaoru was heading towards the hiding spot only he knew, and soon
vanished from Hikaru's line of vision.
"Kaoru... where are you?" Hikaru called out, very concerned. Kaoru didn't
respond.
"Kaoru, I'm not going to judge you. I love you, and I don't care what other
people say about you; you're my brother. So please, come out and talk to me!"
Hikaru called out again.
This time, Kaoru emerged from one of the wall panels (god knows how), and
immediately clung to his brother.
"I think I'm bi, Hikaru. Please don't tell our parents." Kaoru whimpered.
"Don't worry, Kao, I won't tell anyone. And if and when you're ready to tell
people, I will be right her next to you. Don't worry." Hikaru soothed as he
hugged his brother tightly.
"I'll protect you."
