Too Close For Comfort

Dedicated to lyeorin for making 'Smile For Me' an amazing fanfic!

The twins and I walked up what felt like a thousand stairs, before reaching my floor. Once there, we walked the long hallway to almost the very end, where my room was. The whole time they were quiet and it felt sort of awkward. Finally, Kaoru spoke.

"Well, here we are." He said, opening the door for me and allowing me to step in. I examined the room with my eyes. It was quite luxurious and fancy. There was a canopy queen sized bed with a small nightstand beside it, a lovely chandelier that hung in the center of the room, with a dimming light switch on the wall that could be adjusted from bright, to slightly dimmer, to a romantic setting of sorts, and finally black. I'd never let the twins know, but one of my biggest fears since I was a child, was the dark. I'd probably be sleeping with the romantic light on tonight.

The walls were decorated with the floral wallpaper, and the carpet was a snow white color that had never once been stained, if possible it was probably whiter than snow. There was a dresser and closet for clothes, but I hadn't brought any with me, so those weren't exactly necessary. Near the window was a small love seat. The room also had its own bathroom, which at the time I didn't feel like exploring quite yet. I heard the door close behind me and turned to see the twins side by side leaning against the door, with their arms crossed, smirking like they always did.

"What is it you have planned?" I asked dryly.

They both shrugged and then Hikaru walked over to the closet. "I realized that you didn't bring any change of clothes, so I called our mom, she's a fashion designer, and told her to send something over for you." I raised an eyebrow. My stomach had a sinking feeling in it, because I was afraid of what I'd be wearing.

"You didn't have to do that," I said biting my lower lip.

Hikaru rolled his eyes, "Don't make a big deal over it Yankee. Here." He said pulling out a satin turquoise nightgown... basically a dress for sleeping in. My lips curled in disgust.

"Hikaru, I hate dresses." I said with a sigh.

"This isn't a dress, it's a nightgown." He argued.

"It's the same thing!" I retorted.

"Do we need to help you get changed?" He asked, now in front of me with his hand beneath my chin.

I closed my eyes tightly and swiped the nightgown from his grasp, "I'll be in the shower." I said going in the bathroom and locking the door behind me, hoping that it would be enough to keep them out.

While in the shower, I leaned back against the wall and slid down to the tub, letting the water hit my face . I was exhausted, but the twins seemed like they were still wide awake. I wondered if they'd still be out there when I returned or if they'd get bored and leave. I was hoping for the second choice, so I could go to bed, but I was sure I wouldn't be so lucky. After about 20 minutes, I decided to face the music. Drying off, I put the bikini back on and slipped the nightgown over it. It went to my knees, and felt way too short. I brushed out the endless knots in my hair and pulled the built in blow dryer out of the wall, so I could dry my hair a bit more, and prolong going out there for as long as possible. For some reason, my hair was more curly then usual this time. I assumed it had something to do with the fancy shampoo.

After a deep breath, I stepped out into the room and was surprised too see both Kaoru and Hikaru lying beside each other on my bed, sound asleep. I couldn't stop staring at them. They looked so perfect. My eyes shimmered, and my stomach spun with an unfamiliar feeling of happiness. It almost brought tears to my eyes and I wasn't sure why. I couldn't look away. I felt a smile appear on my face, and for once in quite some time (other then at the beach with Kaoru previously) it didn't feel forced.
