Characters: Hikaru Hitachiin & Tamaki Suoh
~Need You Now~
It was a quarter after one in the morning, and Kaoru felt sick on the inside, as if his stomach was turning itself inside out, or a magnificent beast made of butterflies were smattering against the insides. His shoulder was cold, freezing cold and painful, having absorbed most of the shock of being knocked to the ground. Somewhere above him in the soft silken sheets was Hikaru, sleeping peacefully and undisturbed in the silence of the moonlit night. A wrenching feeling was tearing Kaoru apart – he'd never be able to decide who he trusted anymore.
Pushing himself off the cold floorboards, he headed to the en suite bathroom he shared with his brother, locking the door with a soft click before switching the light on, hoping the beams beneath the slit in the door would not alert Hikaru from his slumber. No, that would not do. Just in case, Kaoru turned the lights off again.
He sat himself on the edge of the bathtub as his eyes adjusted to the darkness glooming in the little porcelain room. When his heart palpitations refused to slow, he pulled the phone from his pocket, and dialled a familiar number that sent a whole swarm of fluttering fireflies inside him.
Calling Tamaki Suoh...
Hahahahahaha ohhh I cheated so bad here. :P I know the characters are Hikaru and Tamaki but sorry to any shippers; I'm against these two :D so of course I had to make it Kaoru-centric instead. I'm getting a plot bunny for this one, so tell me if you liked it :)
