I'm sorry, folks! I'm horribly lazy, so it took me forever to get started with the second chapter, but it's done now! YAY! The last chapter will hopefully follow a bit sooner… *fingerscrossed*

If you haven't noticed it in the first chapter: this is a TRANSLATION! The original story is written in French and belongs to SIIn-Siid (formerly known as MaXou-ShinI). Go read the original if you can!

Une question de regards

Mon regard pareil au sien

I woke up with a start, sweating and suffering from a total panic. I gasped for breath. I took the time to contemplate the ceiling to make sure I wasn't dreaming anymore then closed my eyes and sighed. What a horrible nightmare. Atrocious.

This nightmare was proof that I had really fallen asleep. What a waste of time. I almost didn't sleep anymore. Five hours a night at most. I opened my eyes and turned to my other self. My twin brother always waits until our parents are asleep to come over to sleep in my bed. (YES sleep! According to him the night is for sleep and the day for fun. I must confess that I don't entirely agree with him. OK, maybe not at all.) I smiled. I love watching him sleep. When I have nothing to do during my nights I watch him sleep. Does he know how cute he is?

I gently stroked his cheek. And to think that two weeks ago I yearned for him ... Yes, I love my brother, I always have ... But it has only been two weeks since he has truly come to realize that. Two weeks ago, that he looked at me this way, that he kissed me, and that he told me he loved me. I could have wept with joy. I… who was committed to an impossible love ... I brushed back a strand of his hair. We had made love, too. It was better than anything I ever imagined. Just because I love him ... Yes, I love my twin brother. My twin brother is simply the man of my life. I knew it might seem strange, but I can't do anything about it. I knew everybody was going to be angry, but I can't do anything about it. I knew my ex was angry with me for life because I dumped her like that, but I can't do anything about that either.

He opened his eyes and looked at mine. I smiled. If he could just understand how much I loved him without words.

"Hello, little brother."

I love knowing that he's my little brother. I love knowing that he's so dependent on me. I know I can do nothing without him and I like it, that's all.

"Ahito ... I love you."

- "I love you too Thran. I love you so much ... "

I felt his lips on mine. What a delicious sensation. What delicious moment, to feel the lips of the loved one on my own. I returned his kiss passionately. He moaned against my lips, I kissed his neck, and then he took control of my mouth again. I belong to him, and I like it. I'm only for him. We parted, breathless, and I observed:

"We are sweethearts now, huh?"

- "Who cares, I love you."

Three words with which I could reach for the moon.

Needless to say that it's almost unbearable for me to participate adequately in training with my brother's eyes constantly fixed on my back. Or lower. ARGH. I find it horrible to think he can watch me all he wants while I have to turn back to meet his gaze. It's horrible because Aarch is also staring at us. I sigh, and I think back to the ball that went past me on the upper right.

"Thran, mind telling us what happened to you?" exclaims Captain Rocket when we leave the locker room, showered, hair still wet. "I think you're distracted lately, and Mei cannot defend goal all by herself. If you haven't noticed: we're going to play in the final next week!"

No kidding? I want to reply. But is it my fault if I have someone's eyes fixed on me? Is it my fault that this makes me nervous? No, it's not my fault, but I can't tell him.

"Forget it, Rocket!" D'Jok responds in my place. "They'll have nothing to do, since we'll make sure that the ball stays on attack! Right, Mice?"

- "Huh?" He said abruptly raising his eyes. "Ah, yes, the final ... Uh, yeah, of course we'll win ... "

He was distracted, too. I exchanged glances with him. Hm? OK, something is definitely going on ... D'Jok and Rocket turn right, and we continue the other way with three left. I waited for Micro-Ice to leave, but he didn't even talk. I knew he knows, and I also knew he is not one to spill the beans. Yet I could see that he is not doing well. Ahito put his arm around his shoulders and I felt a flash of jealousy.

"You okay Mice?"

- "Hum? Oh, yeah, yeah, don't worry, I'm fine. "

Liar.

"Liar ..." sais my brother with a smile.

Our small friend freed himself suddenly and turned down another street. Normally, I would have run after him to make him spill the beans, but not now. I grabbed my brother by the shirt, dragged him into a deserted alley and threw him against the wall. I kissed him with a violence that isn't like me at all which surprised me. Since when was I like this?

"Thran ..." he sighed when I kissed his neck again. "What are you doing?"

- "You're crazy to make me all hot like that! Do you even realize what kind of effect you have on me?"

I have never known anyone so provocative, so seductive, so ... I couldn't control myself any longer, all my thoughts were focused on the boy that I had pressed against the wall. I kissed his lips again, giving back the pleasure he had already given me. He moaned. I was totally in control. By now I felt lost for words and I thought no more. I closed my eyes, caressed his muscular torso eliciting another sigh; absolutely delicious to my ears.

"Thran ... Not here ..."

- "Oh, yes, here, right now. "

Did I really just say that? What's happening to me? It's clear that my brother made me go completely mad. Well, I'm far from hating that. He twisted us around making me take my turn against the wall and caressed my lips with his tongue.

I love my brother and I welcomed my brother ravishing me in this deserted alley.

"We're going a bit far, don't you think?"

I pressed myself against him. I had been content there, pressed right up against him in my bed. I closed my eyes. After so many years of watching him in silence and trying to forget about it, I had more than earned those moments of happiness. He passed a hand through my hair. It wasn't even night yet, but still, in the sweet slumber of the moment, I felt myself slip into nothingness. Sleep in the arms of Ahito ... At that moment I thought that nothing and nobody could disturb us.

I was wrong.

"Ahito and Thran together!" Mei cried when she learned the news.

- "Since last week."

- "Wow ... I knew things like that existed but it still shocking ..."

- "Hmm ... What will they do now? Their mother was totally freaked out ..."

- "Well it is already clear that we'll have to support them", declared Tia diplomatically, "to face their family will be hard enough."

- "Strongly agree", responded Rocket taking the blonde's hand. "Micro-Ice, how did you know anyway?"

- "By chance. And you could say, I helped them become a couple."

- "So you ..." D'Jok whispered, looking up to the sky. "You're super talented to take care of others but when it comes to yourself, you don't manage to sort things out! "

I knew nothing more difficult than to face our parents. Suddenly I felt like a little kid again, who had just made a mistake. A big mistake that deserves a huge punishment.

"How can you do this to us ..." my mother wept bitterly while my dad put his arm around her shoulders. "How can you do this ... we didn't bring you up like this ... Why ... My kids ... My sons ... "

I couldn't say anything. I had no answer to her question. I knew I did nothing wrong, I did nothing but love my brother. A flash of anger leaped through me like a tiger, nasty and violent. VERY violent. But what was I supposed to tell my mother? She seemed devastated. So I said nothing. I didn't even dare to meet Ahito's eyes. I was scared. I knew our parents would do anything to separate us now. We were still teenagers.

Suddenly, Ahito rose and left the room. I didn't do anything to restrain him and my mother burst into tears again.

"Ahito? Ahito? Ahito ... it's me ... Come on, open the door ... ... Ahito"

- "Go away Thran," his voice was broken by sobs. "Leave me alone ..."

- "Ahi '... please ... "

Even the nickname I gave him when we were little children didn't change his mind. I had been useless and weak. I didn't deserve him. Enraged I banged my fists against the locked door. Of course it didn't open. But even as a child, I couldn't do anything else but wait in front of this door. I felt salty tears running down my cheeks. I'm such a fucking idiot! Everything was my fault. I had convinced him to sleep with me, I had dragged him in that alley, I fell asleep against him and I said nothing. He was suffering because of me.

"You could go through the window." said a voice behind me.

I turned to see Micro-Ice smiling at me. If I hadn't been in such a terrible state, I would have noticed that he had cried.

"The window?"

- "Yes, the window. You know, that thing made of glass that allows you to enter the room of your beloved ... "

That's it! The window. It was so obvious that it hadn't even crossed my mind. I mentally called myself an incompetent idiot again and smiled at him.

"Micro-Ice, you're the best ..."

He smiled slyly. But I didn't notice, because I had already run to Rocket's bedroom which is right next to ours.

He was lying on MY bed hugging MY pillow tightly to his chest. Behind the window I nearly burst into tears because he was so adorable and fragile. He was MINE. And nobody will separate us. Not bothering to knock, I entered our room. He gave a start and turned to me. He was so beautiful that I had to restrain myself not to jump him right then and there. No, first we had some talking to do. I positioned myself in front of him while he remained sitting on the bed.

"Thran ..."

- "No, wait. I ... I don't care what our parents might think. I don't care that we will probably be disowned, that Mom will throw us out or that we will never get gifts for Christmas again. I don't care, because I just want to be with you ... I want you to know that I love you till death, and I don't want to be separated from you ... I can't imagine my life without you ... I love you so insanely that I ... I don't care about our parents, as long as you stay with me ... "

I had started crying again without realizing it. I felt Ahito's arms come to rest around me. I buried my fingers in his hair. When he was near me, I felt invincible.

"I love you Thran. I love you so much ... I was afraid that our parents would separate us, too ... I love you Thran..."

-" I know, I love you too. "

I kissed him passionately. I was afraid of losing him, and at the same time, there was simply no way that was ever going to happen.

"You came through window?" He whispered liking my ear. "Trying to be like Micro-Ice or what?"

-Hum ... Yes ... He gave me the idea to hnnnnnnnnnn!"

His hand had just passed underneath the fabric of my pants.

"Well? What do we do about your parents?" Tia asked, taking Rocket's hand.

- "Dad accepts it better than Mom already... Well, I think, at worst, they just don't care anymore. "

Then, he kissed me for the first time in front of our friends. Although I was surprised, it was a wonderful feeling and I let him. Accompanied by the whistles of others.

"Well there is just you left, Mice", said Mei leaning against her boyfriend. "When will you introduce us to a girlfriend?"

- It's not going to happen. "

He closed his phone with a twist of his wrist and left the room, slamming two or three doors along the way.

"Uh ... do you think we show off our happiness too much?" asked the petit blonde quietly.

- "No, that's no like him at all. Something must have happened", answered Rocket.

- "Tia? ... He said he's not going to date girls ... Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

- "Nooooooooooo, Micro-Ice is far from being gay you know..." said the redhead in her place.

- "Everyone has the right to be bi", I retorted.

- "Well then who? He told me about an unrequited love once ... "

Micro-Ice is in love with a man who doesn't love him back? I swore to myself to investigate that more closely ...

But for now, I was busy. I had a brother, a lover, a boyfriend to entertain. I pressed my forehead to his.

"I love you.

-" Uh ... Yes, I love you too! ... Hey! ...

- "What?"

- "We really have the same eyes ... "

I smiled and kissed him gently.
