When: Afternoon of Friday, August 24th.
Where: Vampire Twin's duplex.
Who: Kamui and Subaru
Summary: They hadn't eaten in a long time, now... and Subaru was feeling impatient, for once.
Subaru had taken to perusing through the helpful closet in the house he and his brother were living in. He wasn't sure what he was expecting to find, but he hoped it

But... there was one more thing...
"Subaru... the kisses, the flirting tonight... you were just playing along with the game, right?" This time when he pulled back a bit to look at him, his eyes reflected entirely innocent confusion. Subaru really had acted a little too well...

He wasn't sure if that would be an honest answer... or... if it was how he wanted to answer...
"...I..." Subaru said, but he didn't finish, still thinking.
There it had been, again- Kamui had completely sidestepped what Subaru had been trying to say... was he just being stubborn? Or was he deliberately misinterpreting it because that's what he wanted it to mean? Or was Kamui, God forbid, having a rare moment of being thick-headed?
"I don't know..." Subaru looked away, not able to meet his twin's eyes as he whispered it.
A new gust of wind came up and blew the hat- which had somehow miraculously stayed on his head- off and away. He didn't notice.

Why he decided to try something he wanted to do, had wanted to do since they were younger teenagers, even though it was risky and could fuck things up entirely. Or would fuck things up entirely, he was sure.
"Subaru..." Carefully, he worked a hand into Subaru's hair, cupping the back of his head lightly before he... kissed him. Nothing deep, but not exactly innocent or brotherly, either. "I'm sorry," he broke it, turning and leaning against a tree so he didn't see the surely bad reaction.

So why wasn't he GETTING it?
With a sigh- not a disappointed or angry sigh, but a 'oh, my darling little brother' exasperation- Subaru put his arms around his twin from behind.
"Kamui..." He whispered his brother's name, reverently, "Let's go home... We're both tired... and that's causing some problems in our communication. Tomorrow, when we can both think clear enough to understand the other clearly, we'll finish this conversation." Subaru's arms tightened, "I'll stay with you, if you want- to keep the nightmares away..." He added, teasing, but smiling as warmly as he could possibly muster.

At least Subaru was hugging him. "I'd like it if you stayed with me tonight." And every night, but he'd take what he could get. "But, um..." He started walking toward home again, this time his hand in Subaru's so his twin didn't freak out once more. "You aren't mad at me, are you? I mean... the kiss, and..." the younger chewed on his lower lip a little, "hurting that woman, and letting her touch me like that, and then fake flirting with her, and..." He paused for a moment, a shudder passing through him, "I think I want to take a bath before bed now." He'd picked up women to eat at clubs before, but NONE at been as bad as she had been.

"I wasn't doing much better, in case you hadn't noticed- why should I be mad at you?" Subaru's head dropped to Kamui's shoulder again, eyes closing as he half sleepwalked.
"Oh? Do you want me to wash your back for you?" He asked, lightly.
Reply
"If... you'd like to."

"Of course I would..." He purred, smiling inwardly that, if Kamui still didn't understand after that, it was truly that he was being clueless.

"Does this mean you are mine now?" he asked almost casually, having to control himself to keep that even tone, arm snaking around Subaru's waist as they walked. There was always the chance he was wrong, and he was prepared for such a thing, but... he hoped.

"Of course."
