Unendlichkeit

Tom’s eyes opened slowly. He let out a yawn and rubbed them, letting out a big stretch.

His hand rested upon soft, bare skin and at after a moment or two he realized…

A wide smile went across his face and he wrapped his arms around the beautiful, sleeping body beside him.

Bill’s soft snoring was so cute.

So last night had been real?

Tom’s face got hot, but he wasn’t one bit ashamed that Bill was his brother. He loved him and that was that.

Bill’s body was cold, goosebumps covered his legs. Tom grabbed the comforter and wrapped it around the two of them, snuggling against Bill again, his face resting against the crook of Bill’s neck. He kissed him softly.

The sun was up, he guessed it was almost time for school. But he didn’t want to leave yet. He wanted to stay with Bill all day, just hold him and protect him.

His eyes stung with sudden tears. But they were happy tears.

“I’m always going to protect you Bill,” Tom whispered, his lips against Bill’s ear. “I love you, so much. More than anything. Always remember that…”

Bill was still cold. Tom rubbed his back, holding the frail body to his own.

He smiled, looking at Bill’s face, his eyes running over the delicate features. His hand touched Bill’s cheek. So soft and delicate and slightly warm. He kissed it and smiled as Bill’s arms wrapped tighter around his body.

He finally liked that cuddling gene that they both seemed to have.

Tom let out a yawn and rested his head against Bill’s shoulder, gently twirling a lock of the silky hair.

He let out a sigh, whispering loving words into his sleeping brother’s ear.

Would he always be there to protect Bill? What if more people found out?

Sure, he’d admit it. He was so afraid. People could try and split them apart, he knew it.

Why did it have to be a crime? Why did love have to be a crime?

He wanted Bill forever…

Stinging tears fell from his eyes and he squeezed his brother’s body tight, rocking him back and forth.

“I love you, Billa, I’m always going too,” Tom sobbed.

But Bill could sleep through anything. He didn’t even budge.

Bill woke up about an hour later. The sun was hitting his eyes, he had to open them. His body was pressed up against Tom’s.

Tom was sleeping, a pained expression on his face. Dried tears were all around his cheek.

Bill frowned. He’d been crying? Why?

“Tomi?” he muttered slightly, but his twin was too deep in sleep. His arms held Bill tight, so tight it almost hurt.

Bill wriggled out of his grasp and looked at the clock. Nine. They were late for school. But he didn’t care. He didn’t want to go to school.

School held nothing for him. He wanted to spend every moment with Tom.

He’d let his twin sleep for now, but when he woke up he just wanted to hold him and kiss him and tell him he loved him and always would.

He’d never felt this feeling before. Sure, he’d had Ina, but this was love. Complete true love is what he shared with his brother of all people. And that was fine with him. He loved Tomi, so much. And he’d have lots of time to tell him that.

Days, weeks, even years. Hell, they’d be together forever.

If he only knew…
