(Old) Spring Rain [BoyXBoy] [Brothers Conflict Fanfic]

Chapter 6: Hugs and Tears

A little while after Haruame fell asleep, He started having nightmares about a very awful period in his life. He began hyperventilating, he was clutching his chest and desperately trying to get air into his lungs. He panicked and couldn’t think straight, All of sudden he heard a yell and someone ran over to him. 

 He heard them saying to calm down in a soft and gentle voice, Their hand rubbed circles on his back and held him close to their chest. Haruame didn’t know which brother it was because his eyesight was blurry but he saw long ginger hair and unknowingly smiled as he began to calm down. 

Once he was calm enough to speak, Hikaru helped Haruame lay back down in bed. 

“ Are you alright now? I came in to check on you and  . . . saw you struggling to breath while clutching your shirt. What happened? If you feel comfortable enough to tell me, That is “ Hikaru softly asked as he sat down on Haruame’s bed with him. 

“ I just had a nightmare  . . . . . It was about something I don’t want to remember  . . . .  I started hyperventilating because I was terrified then you came in. Sorry you had to help me with that “ Haruame apologized with his head lowered, He was expecting to be yelled at or something like that but instead He just felt a warm hand a top his head, slightly ruffling his hair. 

“ Hey, You don’t have to worry about it. I’m glad that I could help you, So please don’t apologize for something you can’t control “ Hikaru sadly smiled as he leaned down and kissed Haruame’s forehead. Haruame felt his face flush and his heart start to pound, Stop! Stop it, I’m gonna end up with another crush on one of the brothers!! 

Haruame sighed deeply, before he looked up at Hikaru with a bright smile. It was a very real and genuine smile, that made Hikaru blush slightly. 

“ Thank you, Hikaru. Not many people I know would tell me that, So thank you very much for saying those words to me. They mean a lot to me “ Haruame beamed as he leaned over and hugged Hikaru, who temporarily frozen before he also wrapped his arms around the small boy. 

“ Its no problem, Haruame. I’ll gladly do it again if you need me to, I would never make fun or shame someone for something like this “ Hikaru snuggled up against Haruame’s small frame as he smiled slightly. 

Haruame slightly flinched at his words, He began tearing up before he quickly wiped them away his sleeve. However, the tears didn’t stop and Haruame started silently sobbing in Hikaru’s arms. 

Hikaru felt the young boy tremble and felt something wet drip onto his shoulder, He figured Haruame was crying and wanted to make his tears stop but something in his heart told him that he should just let Haruame cry as much as he wants. Its good to cry it all out sometimes with someone there with you and this was one of those times. 

So the two stayed like that until Haruame stopped crying and apologized repeatedly, Hikaru found it slightly funny that Haruame was relentlessly apologizing for crying but some part of him felt sad for the boy that always apologizes for everything. 

“ Hey, Its alright. If you’re really sorry then let me call you by a nickname “ Hikaru said with a bright smile gracing his lips. Haruame stopped apologizing before thinking over, not many people called him by a nickname Even he has always wanted someone to. So with that in mind, He vigorously nodded his head in agreement which earned a chuckled from Hikaru. 

“ Then Haru-Chan!! I’ll call you Haru-chan!! “ Hikaru smiled as he slightly shouted, “ Thats what the Author calls me “ Haruame mumbled, {A/N: No breaking the 4th wall, Haru-chan!! I’ll have to fix it and I’m not good at fixing things!! Haru: Oops, Then you better look it up. A/N: Haru-chan!!!!!} “ Hmm? What’d you say? I didn’t catch that “ Hikaru said tilting his head slightly to the side.
