A/N: yeah so, I wanna know if you guys want me to upload a pic of Nikki and Marcus. I DRAW (mostly those two). so, yes or no? AND REVIEW PLEASE!

Misaki couldn't sleep. And he didn't know why, originally he would have blamed it on the stupid rabbit that wouldn't get off of him, but he had slept the same for the past few weeks with no problems. . .

If it was anything, it was the shuffling downstairs, Marcus had been staying for a while now, and he seemed to move around the house allot at night. He didn't want to cause his brother trouble, but curiosity was taking over so he slipped out of Usagi-sans grasp and tiptoed down the stairs. He saw the look-a-like sitting on the couch, head bent downwards and shoulders hunched upwards. He tried to sneak down the stairs but they creaked loudly and gave him away. Marcus's head snapped around to see what made the noise, seeing Misaki his eyes softened and he turned his head back down.

Misaki quietly sat down next to him and saw what he was looking at, It was a shirt. The shirt was stripped grey and red and was obviously far to large for either of them, or Usagi-san for that matter.

He watched his brothers sad eyes and finally noticed his cheeks were slightly damp.

"I'm sorry" was the faint voice he heard from him. He would have missed it, had it been a normal night.

"Why are you sorry? you didn't even do anything." Misaki questioned him.

"I-I'm sorry for being inconsiderate of your feelings. . . I didn't even comfort you when the whole brother thing was going on. A-and I'm sssorry that I've been mooching off of you guys, I r-really don't know w-what I wanna do with my life. A-and. . .and. . .I just. . ." Marcus had started crying again, binging his knees up and burying his face in the over-sized shirt. Misaki rubbed his brothers back gently, eventually having him leaning on him. He had many questions to ask Marcus, but they would have to wait.

It happened to be weeks later, when Usagi was at a meeting, that Marcus and Misaki sat down and talked.

"Misaki. . ." called the unusualy soft voice. As soon as the twins eyes met, Marcus continued.

"You want to know about the shirt, right?" He said sitting on the couch, Misaki left the dishes he was working on and came and joined him as his brother explained.

"Don't think of me as a bad person but. . . I sorta stole it. Don't give me that look! Anyways I'm trying to talk to you so listen 'till the end!" After that he told the story, beginning to how he had gotten here(skipping some obvious parts). During telling him this he explained how he pretty much took over some of Nikki's shirts, and that the one he kept was his favorite.

Some time later, it became apparent to Misaki that the way he described Nikki was oddly familiar. An image of Kamijou the devil with an unusually tall man came to mind, but the hair wasn't the same length.

Misaki knows his brother quite well actually. He knows that Marcus actually has insomnia, and can't sleep. He knows his brother can cook some foods that look disgusting, but taste amazing. He knows his brother can catch Kamijou's books like it's nothing. He knows his brother is very overprotective and clever, proving this by getting Usagi-chichi and and Usagi-ani to LEAVE HIM THE HELL ALONE, which is also how he learned of Marcus's bad temper and tendency to want to break peoples bones. And today he learned his brother smokes. . .

He found this out by going outside one night and finding him leaning against the wall with smoke coming out of his mouth, he looked utterly calm and at peace as he did this. Misaki ranted at him, but his brother replied almost as smugly as Usagi-san, saying

"My psychologist said it was good for me since it calms me down."

And he had a look on his face that was almost as smug as Usagi-sans, almost. . .almost. . . .

"So. . . why do you have an acoustic guitar?" the doctor asked his bother.

"you know, sometimes I wonder that myself." Nikki mumbled as he shut door behind him, he turned and went to help Nowaki start dinner. I don't even think I can play without him by my side Nikki thought as the silence that was ever present stretched on for an eternity. There were so many things he would tell him, if he could just get the chance. He had thought about tracking him down from going to the university in an attempt to see him at the very least. But Hiroki had mentioned him to the curly brunette and he had never returned to the facility.

It happened that he and his older brother were going to get groceries from the convenience store, it was the begging of December now, so they wore their coats and scarves. Nikki was telling Nowaki why his particular scarf was a blue one.

Apparently, Marcus and Nikki were window shopping and Nikki was asking for just about everything, like a little kid. They had stopped and looked at some scarves and Nikki pointed out that he wanted the green scarf quite badly. Originally he was told no, but upon seeing the downtrodden look on his face, he went inside the shop. Marcus bought two scarves, the green one and the blue one. He had said that since Nikki's eyes were blue he should get the blue scarf and vice-versa. after seeing Marcus with the scarf on, he agreed whole-heartily.

It was while he was telling Nowaki this story, about to go into the convenience store that laughter caught the younger brothers attention. what he found was a pair of green eyes. Before he could stop himself, his voice called out in desperation.

"Marcus? Is that you?" In response the persons eyes snapped over to him in horror. As expected, he turned and ran.

He didn't get far though, after 10 steps, he stopped in his tracks. as the black haired giants approached him though, he fell over his head making a very noticeable "thud" on the pavement.

"SHIT!"
