Chapter 1 - The Hallway Proposal

“Kyoya leave me be!” He slapped away the hand reaching for him, his gold eyes narrowed in both anger and pain.
Kyoya’s own eyes flashed in annoyance as their hands met in a sharp string of flesh hitting flesh, even Tamaki didn’t act this childish and foolish around him. “Kaoru,” he said, struggling to keep his voice calm and even. “Stop acting like such a baby.”
Kaoru spun away from the boy; he was acting like a child?! How could Kyoya be so cruel, even he wasn’t this insensitive, was he? In frustration he dug his teeth down into the soft flesh of his bottom lip, this small action quickly drew blood, but to Kaoru it didn’t matter nothing could hurt more then the pain his heart was feeling right then.
Pushing the silver brimmed glasses higher onto his nose Kyoya lips curled into a frown, “What happened?” It had to be something big to make this usually strong and calm boy break down into a whimpering child and it had to do with his brother, nothing else could hurt him so much. Kyoya also remember seeing Hikaru and Haruhi just minutes before finding Kaoru, they both looked upset and nervous, but before seeing Kaoru he had not given it a second thought.
Kaoru kept his back to him, “Hikaru…” His voice trailed off as he struggled to keep the tears, which were forming in his cat like eyes, from breaking free. “He was….kissing Haruhi.”
A flicker of surprise crossed Kyoya’s sharp face, before his features settled back into their usual emotionless and cold state. “Are you sure that is what you saw?” Kaoru could have been mistaken, but he knew that it wasn’t probable.
Kaoru jerked his body around to face Kyoya, the boy’s last comment pushing him over the edge. “I should know,” he screamed, his voice echoing down the empty hall. “I can’t believe this!” The tears could no longer be held at bay and the hot flood of emotion poured down his cheeks, his face red with anger. “I...I knew it would happen,” he chocked on the words, “but I didn’t know it would hurt so much.” Using the back of his uniform sleeve he whipped his wet cheeks, though it didn’t do much, new tears just replaced the old ones. “It’s like I lost part of my soul,” the words just tumbled out, even though the red head knew Kyoya didn’t care, he just had to tell someone.
Kyoya just stood there, taking the verbal beating from Kaoru, to the cold hearted teenager it shouldn’t have mattered what he said, but he felt a surprisingly and strange tug at his heart.
The younger boy chocked and sobbed, “I am alone,” he squeaked his voice had become low and weak. His slim shoulders shook and his hands trembled, Kaoru looked like he was about to collapse at any moment.
“You still have Hikaru,” he muttered lowly, this was starting to get uncomfortable and eyes darting right and left he made sure that no one else was in the hall. Straightening his glasses, he shifted his weight showing that he was uncomfortable, “now you just have to share.” He sounded as calm as ever but that was only on the outside, inside his heart was being torn and he was feeling a worry he had never felt before. To make it even stranger this new feeling was directed toward the youngest Hitachiin, his fingers twitched and the urge to pull Kaoru against him and sooth his worries was growing stronger. Kyoya pushed it away and just stayed still, it was how he pushed everything away.
Kaoru’s trembling shoulders stiffened, his whole body becoming ridged. “I DON’T WANT TO SHARE!” He screamed loudly raising his balled hands up; before Kyoya could react they came down slamming him in the chest. “How the hell would you know,” he snarled between clenched teeth, Kaoru never swore but right now he didn’t care much about his language.
The force from the attack had made the older boy step back a bit but the punch had not been as effective as the words had been, they cut deep into Kyoya like a knife and they released the fury and anger he usually kept securely bottled up inside him.
“You don’t think I am alone!” He snapped slamming Kaoru back into the wall, pinning him there with no chance of escape. Kyoya growled lowly, glaring down at the boy from beyond his glasses. “Don’t complain, you still have Hikaru,” he hissed lowly. It was true Kyoya usually had self control and only once before had he lost it like this, that had been a few years before when he and Tamaki had first met, but right know he didn’t feel like using that self control.
Kaoru stared at him in shock and complete surprise; he had never seen him act so out of control. “Kyoya…I didn’t know.”
Kyoya grunted lowly as he uncurled his fingers from Kaoru's uniform collar, “I didn’t expect you to,” he muttered as he fully released the younger twin and stepped backwards.
Kaoru reached up, grasping Kyoya’s wrists. “I just…can’t loose him.”
Kyoya stopped moving, he felt Kaoru’s warm trembling hands against his skin and though he was gaining back his composure he couldn’t help the soft flush that came over his face. “You aren’t,” he turned his body to fully face Kaoru, “but if you feel like that why not find someone else?” What was he saying? Kyoya’s calculating mind had frozen; something else was taking over his actions, something the young, and usually composed, man had never felt before.
Kaoru blushed and released his hold on Kyoya, “like anyone would want me.” The younger Hitachiin was returning to his depressed state, the state where he knew that he was loosing the only person he had in his world, his twin brother Hikaru.
Kyoya’s dark eyes narrowed and he grabbed onto Kaoru’s shoulders, pulling him in close. “Just shut up,” he hissed and leaned in toward the younger boy, every second moving closer.
“Wha…” but before the twin could finish his word he was cut off by a pair of soft, moist lips. His sun colored eyes widened in shock and surprise, there was Kyoya, the cold hearted shadow king, kissing him! He didn’t resist but he didn’t help deepen it, he just stood there like a doll, his mind working over time.
Kyoya’s dark eyes closed from behind the glass, perched on his nose and he stepped forward thrusting them both up against the wall. His body pushed into Kaoru’s, their hips being grinded together; he allowed his slim hands to roam down the slender boy’s body to his hips, where he held Kaoru firmly in place.
Kaoru let out a soft whimper, he had never kissed another before and the boy had always feared being this close to someone else. Losing the strength to stare at Kyoya he shut his eyes, the fear made him feel vulnerable but with that fear was a new emotion filling his chest, and it was this that kept him from pushing Kyoya away.
Kyoya pulled back slowly, the taste of the blood, from the cut on Kaoru’s lip, and the boy himself leaving a lingering tingle on his lips. “This could be convenient for both of us,” he whispered his lips brushing against the Kaoru’s ear, hot breath fluttering every so lightly against his flesh. “Just think about it, you wont be alone anymore.” A small smirk played on the shadow kings lips and he stepped back from the red head, “I will let you think of it.” Turning from him he moved off down the hall like nothing happened, but his proposal had been the only thing he could do to settle the matter, he had not meant to attack Kaoru like that.
Kaoru’s eyes where wide once more, and as Kyoya disappeared around the corner he slipped down the wall till he was sitting. “How…could…” he touched his lips trying to get a decent thought in his mind. “Where did he learn to kiss like that?” He gulped down the words and leaned his head against knees, which shook every so lightly. As he sat there, alone in the shadows of the hall, Kyoya’s proposal was the only thing repeating in his mind.
