Chapter Three: Which is Which?
Kaoru fell to the bed in a muffled thump, Hikaru over him. His twin was taking deep breaths, as if he had been running a marathon. He knew however that it was because he was losing control, so the situation was delicate. He had to make sure Hikaru knew he wasn't leaving him.
Hikaru took both of Kaoru's hands with his own, pressing them to the bed. "Kaoru…" he whispered, keeping his tears in check. "You like him…."
Said twin sighed, fixing his eyes on the ceiling. "You like Haruhi," he answered back. It was an old argument, but it seemed to not sink into Hikaru's brain.
"I wouldn't leave you for her! You accept her, we'd be family."
"I'm not leaving for Natsu either," Kaoru said levelly, his eyes now gazing into his mirror image. "You hate him without conviction. He's a nice guy."
"Who forced you to date him! How could you like that criminal?!"
Kaoru pulled his hand from under his brother's, stroking his cheek. "It's not fair, Hikaru, that we don't give people chances. He didn't force me, I accepted."
"No." Hikaru said, his legs squeezing the uke's hips as if he was tensing up from pain. "He made you do it. He can't even tell us apart…he could want me for all you know."
Something stirred within Kaoru. Torment? That was it… He had known that others couldn't tell them apart, yet he had felt Natsu could. But really…that was a lie. For all he knew, Hikaru was the one he really wanted. And why not? Hikaru seemed more his type, more wild and spontaneous.
Hikaru saw the reaction that this sprung from Kaoru. His eyes had averted to the left wall, becoming large with a glassy surface. He didn't want him to cry! He bent, kissing his twin's collar, gently stroking his cheek as he released Kaoru's other hand. "Kaoru…." he whispered, his tone that of the anguish he knew his twin felt. "Don't leave me. Don't see him…"
Kaoru said nothing. He turned his head to capture the kiss that was waiting for him, pressing Hikaru to him. He needed this comfort, this warmth. He knew inside that he wasn't in love with Natsu. He wanted someone to see only him, to want only him. He had thought that Natsu could be that person, as he had paid attention to all of his elements, interesting him and even seducing him with those luxurious kisses. But no…had Hikaru gone instead, there was no way Natsu would have even known.
'Hikaru's lucky,' he thought to himself, burying the twang he felt in his chest, 'he at least could have someone who if they fell in love with him would want only him, since she knows us apart.' He felt a surge of anger as Hikaru opened him up, his mind not even feeling the kiss. 'Why can't I be happy for him? I shouldn't he jealous, nor should I be hurting him like this…'
His mind snapped back into the present and he applied pressure to the middle of Hikaru's back, showing him his desire. "Only you, Hikaru," he whispered into his ear.
"I know," he murmured back, unbuttoning Kaoru's shirt and throwing it behind him. He left a slow trail of kisses down his chest, demonstrating that his twin needed only him. He was an expert at what Kaoru wanted and needed, stimulating him into something only he with so much experience could do. His hot breath and torturous movements stirred the life within, making the twin under him tight around the pants. He knew that when he rubbed his inner thigh, denying him what he wanted got him hard.
He knew that when he pulled off the jeans with his teeth, acting like an animal, Kaoru found it incredibly sexy. When he nuzzled the awaiting member, his cool hands providing slow stimulation until he felt himself unable to take it, Kaoru in a near orgasm was the moment he enjoyed. It was then he satisfied himself, his thrusts expert in his own needs as well as his brother's, causing them both to stifle their moans so they wouldn't wake the sleeping household. The sight of his brother's flushed skin, his eyes tightly shut so as to accept the oncoming pain and pleasure, hands gripping the sheets tightly. The moon was brilliant in their window, casting a magical glow around him that excited him further, stirring the desire to continue on, even past the brink of exhaustion.
They always managed to find the unison moment where they both collapsed, Hikaru jerking so that he was no longer apart of his twin, entangled in each other as they allowed the cold night to settle over them.
Hikaru watched his twin's face, fighting sleep for one last glance. He was beautiful, a sheen of sweat glistening at his brow, his cheeks flushed and breath uneven yet strangely graceful. The curve of his body against his was as if they were melded together, perfect for each other.
He was to be Kaoru's support, his pleasure and his comfort. He was not going to share that with anyone.

"You promised me a second date," Natsu said firmly, his eyes narrowing at Hikaru as he was talking to Kaoru.
"It's too bothersome," Kaoru answered, looking at his twin as well.
"How do you even know which is which?" Hikaru pressed.
"Well right now judging by your tone, you've never had nothing to do with me, hence the reason why you hate me. Kaoru doesn't, and I have a feeling this is a ploy by Hikaru, which is why you look so damn smug," Natsu said quietly, crossing his arms.
Hikaru raised a brow, taking out a hat just as Kaoru did the same. "Then play our game," they said at the same time. "We'll mix up and you tell us which one is Kaoru."
Natsu shrugged, turning so that they could do so before turning back again. To his surprise, he found himself facing a blank. They both wore the same expression, even their eyes held the same twinkle. He frowned, biting his lip. "It's a stupid game," he mumbled.
"So you can't do it," the said in unison.
"So what?" Natsu growled, finally snapping. He was never known for a good temper. "I know when talking to you one-on-one who is who. Does it matter if I can't figure it out if you're purposely acting the same!" he said in his frustration.
"Haruhi can do it," the one on the left said. A glint of disappointment appeared. Ah, so that was his little uke.
"Kaoru," he purred, looking at him, "people are different, just as you and he are different. You enjoyed our last date. And I know you enjoyed the tongue ring." he smirked a little as Kaoru turned away.
Hikaru blew it. He turned around and stalked off, leaving Kaoru torn between the two. He started for his brother, then commenced a half turn. "The day you can, I'll go on a second date," he said quietly. "I'm sure you could even get someone to help you." He then ran after his brother to comfort him.
Author: blah, so corny. Funny thing is, Haruhi is actually one of the few lead females that I actually like. She and I act a lot alike, hehe. Though I wouldn't be lethargic about dating any of 'em eh heh heh heh. (jk)
R&R!
