Hikaru and Kaoru sat across from each other in the back of their oversized limo. It was unusually quiet, and Hikaru knew something big had happened with Kaoru and Haruhi. He was already fearing the worst: that they were... going out.

Hikaru hesistated for a moment, but quickly shook away his doubt and spoke up.

"Kaoru, tell me the truth. What happened between you and Haruhi?" Hikaru asked, wresting his chin in his hands, elbows resting on the table that divided them.

"When?" Kaoru asked, obviously trying to avoid the question. Hikaru just glared at him.

"You know when." Hikaru shot back, a hint of anger in his voice.

Kaoru sighed. "Hikaru..." He started. "I... I don't think I'm ready to talk about it."

Hikaru's face softened. His anxiousness was killing him, yes, but he cared deeply about his brother. If Kaoru didn't feel comfortable talking about, Hikaru would wait. He loved Kaoru.

"We're almost home." Hikaru commented. "But Kaoru, when you want to talk about it, I'm here."

"Thank you, Hika." Kaoru said as he slid out of the seat and got out the car.

"Anytime Kao."

~~~~~~~~~~~~Later that Day~~~~~~~~~~~~

The worry was killing Hikaru. Kaoru had never kept something to himself longer than 3 hours before, and since it's been 6 hours since Hikaru approached him, it must be really bad.

Hikaru was standing outside the library, where he knew Kaoru was, probably sketching a new design for their fall collection. His hand trembled before he gripped it hard and pulled it open.

There Kaoru was, sitting at one of the tables, with (Hikaru called it) a sketchbook and pencil in hand. He glanced up at the noise of the door opening, and smiled warmly at Hikaru.

"Hey Hikaru, what's up?" Kaoru asked as he placed his pencil down.

"Nothing much," Hikaru started as he pulled out his chair. "I'm just worried about you. Can we please talk now? I'll always love you, no matter what. You're my brother."

Kaoru sighed.

"Hikaru, you have to promise not get mad at me. Please." Kaoru pleaded.

"I promise Kaoru. Now please, tell me."

Kaoru diverted his eyes.

"I... had sex with Haruhi." Kaoru said, tears threatening at his eyes.

"YOU WHAT?" Hikaru exploded pushing out his chair and standing up.

"Hikaru, please don't be mad at me! You promised!" Kaoru said, tears streaming down his face.

"HOW COULD YOU, KAORU HITACHIIN! HOW COULD YOU?" Hikaru yelled, tears falling from his eyes as well.

At this point Kaoru was sobbing widly. Hikaru slammed the table with all his power, and made one of the legs colapse, causing the several books and pencils that were placed there to roll off.

After hearing the crash, quite a few of the staff ran down the hall to the library. As the doors opened, Hikaru found himself being closed upon, forcing him to run deep into the library.

"Hikaru wait!" Kaoru called, still sobbing.

Kaoru tried to chase his brother, but Hikaru had always been better in sports, especially running.

Hikaru turned a few corners, and was quickly lost inside the walls of the library, finally able to release all of his grief.

He sobbed to himself for what seemed like hours, until he heard Kaoru's faint calling getting closer and closer.

Hikaru stuffed himself into corner, in hopes of evading his brother. He was out of luck.

Kaoru ran down the coridor towards his brother and quickly latched onto his brother.

"Hikaru, Hikaru I'm so sorry. Please forgive me, I'm so sorry,"Kaoru repeated, hugging his brother.

"Hikaru, I know you love Haruhi, I'm so so sorry, it's just... she just..." Kaoru babbled, crying streams of tears.

Finally, Hikaru spoke up.

"It's not about Haruhi." He said, sobbing to himself.

"Then what is, Hikaru? Why are you so mad at me?" Kaoru asked, trying to get his brother to hug him.

"Kaoru... I... I wanted to be your first."
