So I've found my love for Ouran High School Host Club again. My favorite are the Hitachiin Twins so most Ouran stories (if I write them) will be about them. Tell me if you like!!!
"And so when midnight comes, the carriage will turn back into a pumpkin and the spell will be broken."
Kaoru first told Hikaru about his idea of the host clubs "magic spell" in a moment of weakness. He had worried and worried about it all day and come night time, Hikaru finally asked what Kaoru was keeping from him. Kaoru had broken down into tears and poured his heart out to Hikaru, telling him everything he had kept for so long, leaving no detail out. He explained the family: how Tamaki, though being the idiot that he was, was the father of their family and how Kyouya was the "woman behind the man" kind of mother. How Mori and Hunny were the older siblings, and even their own roles in the act as the middle aged children. He even explained Haruhi's part, how he couldn't figure out if she was their little sister or the family friend the Hikaru fell in love with.
Love
How Hikaru would take a step ahead of Kaoru to fall in love with Haruhi, leaving Kaoru behind and forgotten.
When Kaoru explained his magic spell, he didn't know what to expect from his brother. He was expecting comfort, truth, or maybe even...anger? What he did not expect was the one thing that his twin did do, the thing he should have expected from someone with a personality like Hikaru's.
He'd Laughed.
Laughed right in his face after Kaoru had poured his heart out to his brother, he had been laughed at. As one would expect from that, he was very upset.
"Hey," Hikaru asked once he saw how his twin was not laughing with him. "What's wrong now?"
"What do you mean 'what's wrong?'" Kaoru all but yelled towards Hikaru, "Your laughing! I tell you what I was hurting over and you laugh!" He broke down again, crying into Hikaru's shoulder.
"Kaoru." Hikaru held his brother, trying to comfort him. "I'm not laughing at you or your idea," He smiled, "I'm laughing at the silliness of it all." As Kaoru looked up Hikaru released him until he could comfortably hold Kaoru's shoulders and look into his eyes. "You don't have to worry about the carriage turning back into a pumpkin." He laughed.
"Why- why not?" Kaoru questioned, now seeing how his brother meant no harm.
Hikaru smiled and let Kaoru go. "Because we've already gone past midnight." Hikaru told him, and Kaoru felt his heart sink. Did he already figure it out? Does he know he loves Haruhi? Kaoru felt his throat start to swell shut again. Did he already leave me behi- "We've past midnight" Hikaru repeated, cutting Kaoru's train of thought off. Hikaru smiled again...
..."We're already living the Happily Ever After"
