"So what are we going to do Hikaru?" asked Kaoru.

"About what?" replied Hikaru.

"Chelsea..." Kaoru murmured.

"She'll decide eventually, no need for us to get in any hurry. The time will come when it comes..." Hikaru answered.

It was such a relief to be back home with the twins. I got my old apartment back and they helped me unpack, insisting to stay the night. I agreed to it, but only because I had missed them so much. It was a cold night, and there was clatter of rain hitting the roof above. I loved the rain, but... thunderstorms...like Haruhi, they scared me. I was hoping it wouldn't storm tonight, I didn't want the twins to see my vulnerable side.

The twins came prepared, even if I declined their self invitation they were staying anyway. They had duffle bags packed with a change of clothes, toothbrushes, all the essentials of staying the night at one's house. Once they came out in matching orange and baby blue pajamas, I felt my face grow warm. I had my usual pajama bottoms and a t-shirt. They took note of my rosy cheeks, but I turned away and turned on the TV, sitting Indian style on the floor. They weren't going to ignore it so easily, not after my returning and all. 

They each sat on either side of me, but facing me. My eyes darted back and forth at them, "What?" I demanded.

They both smirked and Hikaru pulled me over to him, wrapping his arms around my waist and pressing my back against his built chest and stomach. My legs unfolded when he did so, and Kaoru crawled up on top of me and rested his head on my chest, with his arms also entangled around my waist. My eyes shimmered and I looked away from him quickly to try and ignore the present situation, occupying my eyes with the television.

"Ah, ah, ah, what did we say about being ignored?" Hikaru teased, gathering my hair and tossing it over one of my shoulders before just gently gliding his lips over my bare shoulder and up onto my neck before my earlobe. I froze and got goosebumps.

Even if this was a guilty pleasure for me, I had to protest," It's my first night back and you guys are already starting this crap?" I growled.

"Oh, don't pretend you're hating this," Hikaru cooed in my ear.

"I'm not pretending." I retorted.

"Then, walk away." replied Hikaru,

My face turned redder as I though of a reply, "You expect me to just toss Kaoru off me?" I sneered.

Kaoru's head rose when he heard his name and he leaned forward, wrapping his delicate arms around my shoulders, "You don't have to pretend this bothers you Chelsea, we're all alone here." He said resting his forehead against mine.

My face flushed more and I started down as low as I possibly could away from Kaoru's enchanting gaze. 

I then felt Hikaru nibble at my earlobe as I got a shock to my senses and froze in place, "Please stop." I whined. My hands were shaking weakly as they grabbed onto Hikaru's knee caps tightly.

"Awww," Hikaru whispered in my ear, "but you taste so good."

"I get it, this is jjust as much fun for you guys as ever, not knock it-!" I was about to yell when thunder boomed above and the lights shut off. Out of instinct, I grabbed Kaoru and pulled him in closer, since he was in arms reach.

"What's the matter?" Kaoru whispered into my other ear, "Do thunderstorms scare you?"

My eyes widened in the darkness, "It just took me off guard." I murmured into his ear.
