The guy you like is the worst guy I've seen ever.

Ichiru grumbled, crossing his arms with pouty lips marred his handsome face. Each day, he had been asking himself the same thing repeatedly. Was it wrong to love your own brother more than you should? Because Ichiru's kind of love toward his twin brother, it was that kind of love, it wasn't anything close to a family love.

Well, maybe little bit.

He still couldn't help his feeling. Honestly, he'd tried to wipe it away so it would be easier to look at Zero, to hold him freely because he knew it'd be only out of family love. But no! His annoying and confused heart lusted over his brother. He wanted to embrace Zero like he was his lover, he wanted to kiss Zero...like...like...

Ichiru slammed his head onto the table in their living room. A hard knock, but not hard enough to leave red bruises. He didn't have to worry about telling his unreciprocated feeling to Zero. He knew Zero wouldn't return it because firstly - Zero would tell him they were brothers, twins at that and he couldn't see him more than as a little brother...secondly - because his stupid, oblivious older twin was madly in love with Kuran Kaname.

Psssh. Ichiru rolled his eyes. It always Kuran this, Kuran that. Ichiru had to wonder sometimes if that Kuran liked his brother the same way like Zero did. Probably not, Kuran had his eyes only for that Cross girl.

Not that Ichiru cared anyway.

But the truth was he did. Even though knowing all of these, knowing that Zero would get hurt if he kept chasing after that Kuran guy, he couldn't bring himself to tell Zero about it.

Because I thought you'd hurt, I couldn't say anything. If you like it, then I'll like it too.

"I love Zero..." Ichiru mumbled under his breath. It turned to gasp when he felt familiar arms sneaked around his neck from over the sofa.

"And I love you too Ichiru." Zero hugged his brother closer. "Have you been sitting here the whole day?" he arched a brow at his brother. Ichiru was being quite lately.

The younger Kiryu shook his head and smiled at his brother. Of course he loved him, but Zero's love was different from his love. Zero's love was gentle and caring, a brother's love.

He lifted his face to meet Zero's concerned gaze. His brother flicked his forehead and he didn't even notice it. He was too deep in his own world.

"Ichiru, what's wrong?" Zero sat next to him on the empty space of the couch - his hands on his laps, his eyes on Ichiru's blank expression.

"It's nothing."

"Liar." Ichiru was a bit confused when he felt soft hands cupped his cheeks, forcing him to meet Zero's affectionate velvet orbs. "Sometimes, I don't understand what's playing inside your mind. I wish for nothing else but Ichiru's happiness. And right now you're being a little gloomy." Zero pouted and removed his hands. To Ichiru, this action was considered cute.

"Zero..." I...

"I confessed to Kaname." Zero smiled sadly at his twin, and Ichiru understood the meaning behind that smile. Kaname had hurt him with just a simple 'no'.

"Kaname said he loves someone else."

I oppose that man.

"But he still wants to be friends with me."

He's not the one.

"And he-...Ichiru?" Zero stood up and followed his brother whilst the younger twin suddenly ran toward the kitchen. He watched as Ichiru opened the steel refrigerator and took out an ice.

"I may not be good enough." Ichiru winced at the cold object in his palm. He walked slowly to Zero's side and grabbed his brother's hand. "But I'm the complete opposite of him." Zero was confused at first, but he decided to stay quiet when Ichiru bent on his knee, yes, on his knee and slid the ice into his finger.

"Fall in love with me."

Zero didn't know what to say after Ichiru said those words, he didn't even know how to react to it. All he could do was to blush and hid his face behind his silver strands.

Weird...he blushed.

"But...I already love you. We're brothers." Zero titled his head.

Ichiru laughed, he still had a long way to go.
