A/N: The writing gets better in later chapters, I promise! :P Plot starts next chapter. Hope you like! :)

"Kao-chan! Hika-chan! Look at what we get to wear!" Honey giggled as he perched atop Mori's shoulders, both dressed in clothes designed in Shakespeare's time. "We're doing Romeo and Juliet!"

"Sounds fun," Hikaru chuckled. "Who will the lovers be?"

"Why, Haruhi and I, of course!" a happy voice replied, appearing with a huge grin on his face.

"Not a chance, Tamaki," Haruhi told him, causing him to immediately fall into his usual 'Emo Corner,' now dark and depressed. As usual, no one paid him any attention.

"Kaoru and I will do it," Hikaru smirked, linking arms with his twin.

"Yeah, the ladies would go crazy," Kaoru agreed with the same mischievous smirk. "Now pass us our costumes before they get here!"

As Mori tossed their princely costumes towards them, Kyoya spoke up. "I have to agree with them, the taboo of their Brotherly Love act mixed with the taboo of the feudal families' children falling in love would rouse the girls up nicely and probably even boost their customer rate a bit. I say go for it." As he spoke, his hand was scrawling who-knows-what in his black book.

In minutes, girls started pouring in as the group chorused a warm, happy "Welcome~!"

Kaoru sighed, looking into his twin's eyes. "Oh, Hikaru. You know our parents would never allow it, no matter how much—"

Hikaru put a finger against his brother's lips to shush him, reveling in the hearts that took over their customers' eyes every time they did their routine. Both the twins loved all the squealing they got, and did their routines easily and happily. Sometimes they would talk and tease each other about maybe even kissing, but they both knew they wouldn't – they loved each other more than anything, but not like that. Besides, part of what the girls loved could be the 'almost there but not quite' aspect of it for all they knew.

Either way, they enjoyed it now more than they ever would have before joining the Host Club and they didn't plan on leaving anytime soon.

The next day:

"And the ball goes swish! The crowd goes wild, and the girls get taken out for a celebratory—"

"Cake?" Honey piped in, interrupting Hikaru's performance of what would happen if he and his twin played a basketball game.

Hikaru chuckled. "Sure, Honey. We'd go out for a celebratory cake." He placed his hand on the table. "If that's what they want. After all, it is the ladies' choice, right?" He sent a sly smile to his customers, causing gleeful 'squee's and agreements to be heard.

"Be careful, Hikaru! Your hand!" Kaoru cried suddenly.

Hikaru moved it, wondering why his brother sounded so worried, and let out a soft "Ouch!" as he sliced his finger on the knife his hand had been carelessly resting on.

Kaoru rushed to him and took his brother's hand within his own. "Hikaru, you have to be careful. I need that finger," he whined, sparkles and flowers appearing around them as they did their routine without even realizing it. "Come on, I'll take you to the infirmary to get a Band-Aid."

With apologies to their guests, they left the room.

"Kaoru, I'm fine. It's just a scratch." Hikaru smiled, seeing his brother's facial expression and recognizing it immediately.

"You got upset when I got a cut from that vase that fell in the summer!" the younger twin defended himself with a pout.

"Yeah, but that's different. You're my brother and I love you."

Kaoru smiled softly at the joke and linked their arms together. He knew his brother was okay, but he couldn't help worrying – it was his job. A job that he would never give up.
