Yep, another AmiboshixSuboshi fic! ^^ This is more shounen ai
than "Brotherly love", though. It's just a little something I came up with
late one night while browsing through various fics and things...

[Disclaimers: Fushigi Yuugi is the property of Watase Yuu. None of the
characters belong to me.
This is not only a shounen ai story, but it's twincest as well. You know
the drill, don't like it, don't read. Otherwise, enjoy! ^^]

"Kawaii aniki-chan," Suboshi mumbled, pulling his brother against him. It
was almost midnight, yet while Amiboshi was nearly asleep, Suboshi didn't
feel tired at all for some reason.

"Hmm?" Amiboshi looked up a little with half-closed eyes. "You say
something?" Suboshi blushed. 'Idiot,' he mentally scolded himself.

"N-nothing," he stammered. "Just go back to sleep, aniki."

"Allright," Amiboshi mumbled, nestling against his brother. "'Night, Su-
chan." His eyes closed as he fell back to sleep.

"'Night, aniki..." Suboshi buried his face against his twin's hair and
sighed. These...FEELINGS he had for his brother lately...he knew very well
they were wrong, but the more he tried to deny them the stronger they
were. 'He's so beautiful...' he idly thought, looking down at the
sleeping form of Amiboshi lying against him. 'Don't think about it. You've
cried enough lately,' he told himself. With that, he closed his eyes and
drifted off to sleep.

But an hour later, he was awake, staring longingly at his twin once again.
'It's not fair. Why did we have to be blood-related? Why did I have to
fall for him this way? If he knew...he'd be disgusted and never speak to
me again!' Tears sprang to his eyes.

'No. You promised you wouldn't cry anymore, Shunkaku,' he thought. But
the tears fell anyway, stinging his cheeks.

"Aniki..." he whispered. His brother was still soundly asleep. Suboshi's
gaze fell to Amiboshi's lips, which curved into a slight smile. He always
did love Amiboshi's smile...so warm, so comforting, so...

"Beautiful," he whispered, absently running his fingertips through his
twin's hair. If he could just kiss those lips...just once...

'Baka!' he cursed himself. His thoughts were a mess, he felt like he was
going to have a nervous breakdown! Damn it, why did love have to be so
hard and hurt so much? He tried to force the idea of kissing Amiboshi out
of his head, but it wouldn't leave!

'Maybe...I could just do it for a second...while he's asleep,' Suboshi
thought. Maybe he wouldn't feel it...if he did, Suboshi could just
convince him that he'd been dreaming...

'Yes...I will...' he decided. Heart pounding, he leaned his face in until
his and Amiboshi's lips were barely brushing. Slowly, gently, he pressed
his mouth to his brother's...

'Oh gods...' His lips were so soft, so warm...it was like kissing a
sun-warmed flower! He found himself deepening the kiss a little, holding
Amiboshi tightly against him. His lips tasted so good... 'Aniki...oh
gods, aniki, I love you so much!' His eyes closed-only to snap open a
second later as he felt something...something against the back of his
head?!

'...I knew it! I knew I wouldn't get away with this, Shunkaku no baka!' he
berated himself. He began to break away from Amiboshi...

Then realized the person holding the back of his head WAS Amiboshi!

'What?!' He broke off the kiss. "A-aniki...!!" he cried. "What...?!"

"You didn't think I was going to sleep through that, did you, otouto?"
Amiboshi laughed softly. "Remember...we're linked. And the look on your
face before we went to sleep was a dead giveaway," he said.

"...Aniki...!" Suboshi began to laugh, feeling as if a boulder had just
been lifted from him. "Y-you mean...you...?"

"I feel the same way, otouto," Amiboshi said softly, his eyes shining as
he drew Suboshi into his embrace.

"Why...why didn't you say anything, aniki?"

"What, tell my brother I have romantic feelings for him? Sure, that was
gonna be easy," Amiboshi said sarcastically. Suboshi sighed.

"I know. I was afraid if you knew how I felt you'd hate me," he said.

"Hate you?! Otouto, I could never hate you, never in a million years,"
Amiboshi reassured him. "I was afraid you would think I was a freak."

"No way." Suboshi snuggled closer. "You'd never be a freak. You're my
brother," he said. Amiboshi laughed.

"Otouto..." he murmured, then yawned a little.

"Tired?" Suboshi pulled the covers around the two of them. "Let's get some
sleep," he said.

"Yeah...but didn't we leave something...unfinished?" Amiboshi asked,
a gleam in his eye. Suboshi grinned.

"Oh yeah," he whispered. "Now...where did we leave off?"

Amiboshi simply pressed his lips to Suboshi's in response.

~End~

As I said before, this is definitely more shounen ai than
"Brotherly Love" was. My views on Amiboshi&Suboshi's relationship have
changed considerably in the months between "Brotherly Love" and this
story. Not that much, though-even with a more shounen ai feeling I still
see em as "really close brothers...who get cozy and kiss occasionally". ^^
