I Can Feel Your Heart Beating Under My Skin

"Y-yeah, I know, but I don't like spiders! I'm scared of spiders, Akio! Turn it off! Please turn it off!" he said, starting to cry and still clutching the front of his twin's shirt tightly in his fists.

Akio used the remote to shut the television off, but continued to hold Miyoi. "There, its off. Better?" he asked with a reassuring coo. "I turned it off so you don't have to be scared anymore, okay? I'm here, don't worry"

Miyoi buried his face further into Akio's shirt and sniffled pathetically. "I-I was so scared, Onii-san! Spiders are so scary!" He tilted his face up to look at his brother with tears wetting his cheeks.

"Its alright now." Akio assured him. "They weren't real spiders. Why don't you pick out a different movie then? One that you know you want to watch. I'll stay right here, promise. Then you won't have to worry." He planted a soft kiss on Miyoi's forehead. "Alright?"

Miyoi sniffled again and rubbed his eyes, looking pitiful. "I'm sorry Onii-san. I didn't mean to spoil your movie, but I'm really scared of spiders. I'm really sorry."

"Its alright, I'll just watch it by myself later. I don't mind" Akio smiled earnestly. Truthfully, he had already watched the movie several times but kept it hidden because he knew how Miyoi felt about the eight legged pests. "Don't worry about it Nii-chan"

"A-are you sure, Onii-san? If you really want to watch it..." he said, cringing at the thought of trying to make himself sit through that torture. "If you really want to watch it, I c-can... sit through it... maybe..."

"I'm sure, I won't make you do something you don't want to do" Akio carefully pried Miyoi's fingers out of his shirt. "You pick another movie, or we can just find something else to do."

Miyoi wrapped his arms around his twin's neck and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Uhm, can we watch a funny movie, Onii-san? Can we watch Roger Rabbit?"

"If that's what you want" Akio smiled. "Its all about what you want right now."

"Mostly I just want you, Onii-san," Miyoi said. "You make me the happiest, big brother. I wish I could just be with you all the time."

"Maybe after we graduate" Akio smiled "Until then you'll have to settle for when we're not in school"

Miyoi sighed heavily, nuzzling Akio's shoulder. "I know that, Onii-san. But I still wish it didn't have to be that way. I just don't understand why we aren't supposed to love each other this way. It's dumb. We're perfect for each other in every way. Obviously we were destined to be together, right, Onii-san?"

"Right" Akio sighed. "They just don't understand. They can't see how much we're ment for each other" He held his brother closer to his chest

"Mmm, Akio~" Miyoi purred softly, nuzzling his brother lovingly. "I love the way we fit together."

"I love the way you fit with me more" Akio purred, kissing his forehead.

"I love you, Akio," Miyoi said softly, pressing his lips against Akio's throat. "I love you more than anything in the whole world. I just... want to be together with you forever. Yoyokagirinaku."

"Yoyokagirinaku." Akio agreed. "Always"

"No matter what anyone says, Onii-san, our iinaka is a good thing. I believe it it in my heart. I shinjikomu that we were meant to be together, and I anatagata shin'ai, Onii-san."

Akio smiled and tilted Miyoi's head up so he could kiss him softly. "Just hush Nii-chan. And let's watch your silly rodger rabbit movie."

"Mmmmmkay," Miyoi purred, snuggling closer. "Will you put it in, Onii-san?" He smiled at his brother, batting his eyelashes cutely. Really he just didn't want to get up because he was comfortable and warm.

"I can't if you're laying on top of me" Akio stated with a small smile

Miyoi sighed melodramatically and rolled to the side, freeing his twin. "But I was warm and comfy, Onii-san," he pouted.

"Well you wanted me to put your movie in didn't you, nii-chan?" Akio smiled, ruffling his hair.

"Yeaaaahhh," he said, pouting still. "But I wanted to be warm more."
