Log; Ongoing
When; April 13, evening
Rating; PG
Characters; Kaoru Hitachiin [![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ourdenouement] and Hikaru Hitachiin [ourculminant]
Summary; This wasn't the way Kaoru wanted Hikaru to find out. In fact, he didn't want Hikaru to know at all.
Log;
They spent the evening together like they used to, like they always did. Sprawled over the bed, the chair, or each other, there was a familiarity in their silences and small conversations that Kaoru missed the months Hikaru'd been gone. Sometimes Kaoru would lean on Hikaru's shoulder, hold his hand. Most times, Kaoru just listened.
For now, however, he sifted through various DVDs, wondering which would be best to watch with Roxas for their movie night later that week. He was almost certain that Roxas would refuse to watch whatever movie he chose, despite the enthusiastic reviews on the cover. But it was worth seeing Roxas scowl. It was worth flicking popcorn at him.
He didn't tell Hikaru about most things - he would allow was a brief mention, a summary, an overview. The distance between them gave such a powerful impression, demanded attention, slipped into the words of others that Kaoru could not control. But still he refused to explain. The memories he gained and Hikaru lost were his own little secret (it was ironic, really, how their situation became so twisted and reversed - it was a terrible punchline, the deities truly had no sense of humor).
And perhaps he was a hypocrite in that sense. Preaching to Ichiru and Zero to understand each other and close that distance and practicing something else entirely - Kaoru didn't care. The year he had over Hikaru was an important one. The words he held from Hikaru were fragile.
-Ah, perhaps this movie would be ideal.

LOL ME TOOO. FINISHED?
He let go of Kaoru, a light, almost bittersweet smile on his face; the end of a hug was always awkward. Leaning back, he decided that he wouldn't pester Kaoru about his friends. It wasn't that he wasn't curious about them, or that he did not somehow... resent their friendship; no, that was certainly true. But he would make it his own private goal to form his own friendships with those people - close the gap again. Kaoru didn't need any stress.
"What was the movie called again?"
Anything Kaoru was interested in, Hikaru was also interested in; anything Kaoru liked, Hikaru also liked; a friend of Kaoru's was a friend of Hikaru's. Even if there was a year's worth of experience and growth between them, Hikaru would close it. They weren't just brothers - they were twins, and that was important; being twins meant the world to them, because they shared it. Hikaru decided, absolutely, sitting with his brother looking over DVDs for whatever special movie night Kaoru was having, that he would keep it that way - it was their world, and nothing and nobody could change that.
