[ She takes a moment to think before smiling. ]

Okay. Where have you looked? You're sure he didn't run off or anything? Maybe he's not playing a prank on you?

Well he's not in our house.

Why would he run off? Why from me? and.. why would he try to play a ~~painful~~ prank on me?

Well, I'm going to go ahead and assume you've already tried calling him. Maybe... Maybe he needed some alone time? I mean, you guys are together all day, every day, right? So it might not be that strange to think that he might need a little while to himself?

I tried calling, but he wasn't picking up.

He can't do that. He'd feel lonely if he left my side for too long. [Hikaru would be even lonelier without Kouru]

I think you underestimate him, Hikaru. You two might be twins, but you're both very different people. I'm sure he's doing just fine. I mean, obviously he's going to miss you, but that'll make the time when you come back together that much better, right?

I suppose...

[Completely shocked by Haruhi's natural-ness]

I worry about him. He's nice, you know.

It's not like he can't take care of himself. He's a big boy. Are you saying that without him, you'd be completely helpless, Hikaru?

It's not like that. I'm not helpless.

...But what if other people bully Kouru?

[ She smiles at him. ]

Well, if someone was bullying you, what would you do? Despite what I said, I mean, you're still both really similar. So I think it'd be safe to assume that whatever you would do, he'd do something similar, right?

[As always, he is captivated by her smile but tries his best to answer the question quickly]

I'd defend myself of course...

[...but also, he'd hope that Kouru was there to help him. Or at least hold his hand. They beat people really quickly. Specially when they are defending their loved ones, like Haruhi]

Well there you go. See? Nothing to worry about. You're both strong, so you shouldn't worry too much about it, okay, Hikaru? You'll have to separate at some point in your lives, anyway. This will be like practice.

but..

what if I don't want that? He's family.

Well of course he's family, and I'm sure he'll never be far. But don't you think it would be a little weird once you've both got your careers going and you start to settle down and get families started? You can't expect him to share a bed with you and your wife. That might be weird.

I don't intent to take it that far. I mean if one of us gets married, we can't sleep in the same bed. But til then, Kouru might get nightmares without me by his side.

[We all know that Hikaru is the one prone to nightmares XD]

Is it really him you're worried about?

Of course. Who else would I be worried about?
