That Light Ch.2

Kaoru's eyes slowly slid open as the warm sunlight washed over his face. He rolled over, trying to make himself more comfortable.

“Morning.” He thought tiredly.

“Morning!?” he exclaimed. He shot up but a pale hand grabbed his arm,pulling him back down. It was silent, save for the pat sound Kaoru's head made as it met the surface of the pillow. The boy rolled on his side to come face to face with his Senpai. Gold eyes met gray ones.

“I see your up.” Kyoya's voice came out soft.

“Kyoya Senpai! I'm so sorry!” Kaoru felt sweat build up on his forhead. He couldn't believe he fell asleep there. “How embarrassing” he thought. A puzzled look came over his face as Kyoya laughed.

“His laugh. I like it.” The Hitachiin thought. He grinned back but as quick as it came it disappeared.

“What about school?!”

“It's Saturday.” came the calm reply.

“Oh.” Kaoru realized they both still had on there clothes from yesterday. The beds blanket lightly covering their bodies. Kaoru dug his hand around in his pocket, grasping the object he was looking for. He pulled out his cell phone to eye level and examined what the screen had to say.
38 texts
59 missed calls
..all from Hikaru.
Kaoru rolled his eyes, Kyoya smirked.

“Hikaru?” he asked though he already knew the answer.

“Yes. Hey, wait! What about your family?” Kaoru wore a worried look. “What would they do if they saw?! Your brothers already hate me..”

Kyoya sighed. He gently pulled the boy back down.

“They are all gone...except for Fuyumi but she likes you.”

Kaoru let out a relieved sigh. Just Fuyumi. He actually liked Kyoya's sister. She was kind, unlike his brothers. She was especially kind to Kyoya. It angered the younger boy,how Kyoya was treated by his older brothers. Kaoru's cell phone went off again and again and again. Hikaru was being really persistent. Kaoru turned of the device and placed it back in his pocket.

“I should probably get home soon.” the twin said solemly.

“You don't want to go?” Kyoya inquired.

“Not really. Hikaru will definitely pester me about this..” Kaoru closed his gold eyes and groaned. “...and then then rant about Milord or Haruhi. Or both. It's really annoying.”

“You don't have to leave yet.” Kyoya ran a slender finger down Kaoru's soft cheek. Kaoru blushed

“Gah! No!” he thought.” He's just pitying me.” The twin sucked in some air, staring up at the ceiling. Kyoya noticed the other boy blush and felt heat go to his own cheeks, but being the evil shadow king, he was able to hide it. Kyoya sat up and put on his trademark glasses. Kaoru lay still on the bed for a few minutes before pushing himself up as well.

“Kyoya Senpai...”

Kyoya quickly looked away. Damn, he loved the way Kaoru said his name. He slowly looked back, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

“...do you want me to stay?”

“Shit.” Kyoya thought.

“I don't care.” the raven haired boy lied icily as he looked up at the ceiling. “But I could use the company.” Kyoya turned towards the other boy, a rare warm smile on his face. The auburn haired boy grinned, he was getting used to Kyoya's evil teasing but sometimes they took him by surprise.

“I guess it couldn't hurt to stay a little longer.”

After the two had showered (separately!), they walked down the long staircase, leading to the living room. Kyoya loaned Kaoru a pair of his own clothes but since Kaoru was shorter the pants were a little long, but he didn't care.

“Finally! I thought you two would never get up!” Fuyumi's soft voice rang through the room. Kaoru gave a shy smile. Fuyumi pulled the boy into a tight hug.

“Did you sleep well last night?” she asked, oblivious to the blush burning on his face. The thoughts of him and Kyoya sleeping in the same bed racing through his head. Kyoya shot his sister a death glare. Fuyumi, a little confused, let go of the boy and patted his head softly. She turned around swiftly.

“Would you boys like some lunch?” she called over her shoulder. Kaoru looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was in fact, noon.”We must've slept in.” Kaoru thought.
He followed Kyoya and Fuyumi into the dinning room. Kyoya talked with his older sister, as maids brought in food. Kaoru loved to see Kyoya interacting with his family, especially with his sister.
As they ate and talked, Kaoru felt happy. Being with these two was calm and pleasant. It wasn't loud or stressful.
It was after 3pm when Kaoru announced he had to leave.

“I really must be getting home. Hikaru's gonna pitch a fit.”

“Yes. I suppose so.” Kyoya said, his expression unreadable. A black car pulled up in front of the Ohtori Mansion.

“Bye Kyoya Senpai!” Kaoru call out as he waved goodbye.

“Goodbye.” Kyoya stood motionless.

“Kaoru. Wait.” Kaoru turned around to see Kyoya staring at the ground intently.

“Be careful.” Kyoya always told Kaoru to be careful going home but this time it felt different. The Hitachiin gave him a warm smile.

“I will.”

As the car pulled away, Kaoru sat in complete silence, looking out the window. He was so confused. He put his head in his hands that rested palm up on his knees.

“Could I be in love with Kyoya Ohtori?” he whispered.

Kyoya walked slowly back into his house. Irritation swelled up in his body. Why couldn't he just say it!?

“Don't let go” the voice in his head whispered. “Don't let go.”
