"Lie back Kaoru, take it easy." Hikaru repositioned himself on the couch to allow his brother to lean against him and rest his head on his chest. Kaoru felt the older boy's arms wrap around him and began to relax.
"I told you didn't I, not to push yourself so much especially when you don't feel good?" Hikaru's voice was soft as he pulled his brother closer.
"I-I'm sorry Hikaru, I-"
"Shh, you don't have to be sorry, just rest quietly, I'll take care of you Kaoru." Kaoru smiled.
"I know you will, you always do." Kaoru moaned softly placing his hands on his abdomen. Hikaru felt a strong rug at his heart knowing that his younger brother was ill and watching the boy suffer was difficult for him.
"Awe poor Kaoru" The girls in front of them cried. Hikaru turned his attention to them.
"I'm so sorry princesses, we haven't given you the attention you deserve, can you forgive us?" He smiled apologetically.
"We understand , Kaoru needs you now, you have to take care of your brother first, " The dark haired girl smiled.
"That's right, you're doing exaxtly what a loving brother should. I hope you feel better soon Kaoru." The blonde girl said blushing slightly.
"Thank you for understanding ladies.I'm sure I'll be better in no time. Hikaru's really good at looking after me." Kaoru closed his eyes tightly as the pains in his stomach increased and nausea set it. This did not go unnoticed.
"Are you okay Kaoeu?" Hikaru's voice was filled with concern.
"I'm fine" the boy answered, a feeling of guilt came over him for causing such worry though he knew the worry was unavoidable. He would be lying if he had said that he didn't feel concern for Hikaru at times due to illness. Kaoru felt suddenly tired and allowed himself to drift off.
"Kaoru, come on now, we can go now." Hikaru called shaking his brother slightly, Kaoru seemed ro be struggling to do as he was asked.
"Is Kao-chan okay?" Honey Senpai held Usa-chan tightly against his chest as if anxious.
"He will be. I just have ro get him home, he might feel better after he lies down for a shifted his ailing twin in his arms and placed a hand on his head.
"Kaoru, you're burning up!" he said alarmed at the heat coming from Kaoru.
"Hika, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to u-"
"You don't need to apologize for being sick. It happens to everyone." The group was soon joined by Tamaki and Haruhi.
"How are you feeling?" Tamaki knelt down beside the couch to get a better look.
"I'm fine boss, it's nothing."
"It really doesn't look like nothing." Haruhi said skeptically.
"As club president, I'm giving you a few days off from the Host Club. It's obvious to everyone here that you're simply too sick to keep up with hosting. I want you to go home and right to bed. The rest will be good for you."
"I plannned on putting him to bed the second we got home, I'll just call for a-"
"It's already out rhere waiting for you." Kyoya said pushing his glasses into place. Kaoru groaned as Hikaru sat him up, movement it seemed only caused made the pains worse.
"Thanks Kyoya senpai" Hikaru took his brother's hand and pulled him up.
Kaoru gasped at the erruption of pain inside his belly and leaned into Hikaru for support.
"Kaoru!" Hikaru held him as he buried his head in his chest.
"It really hurts Hikaru"
"I know it does, We'll get you in bed" He attempted to guide the boy but only took on step before Kaoru cried out.
" Stop , I can't do it. plrase don't'
"We have to get you to the let me get you to the car."
"It hurts, I can't " He repeated.
"Takashi , will you please help Kao-chan to the car?" Mori senpai nodded and carefully picked Kaoru up carrying him from the room with Hikaru close behind. The remaining hosts were left in silence.
"Do you guys really think he's okay, he was really pale." Haruhi commented. Kyoya took out his phone and with the push of a button, he began to speak.
"Hikaru, it's Kyoya, have you left yet?" A small pause before Kyoya spoke again.
"I'm glad I caught you then. Given the circumstances, I believe that Kaoru needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. I myself am not a doctor however, the pain he hasand the fact that sudden movement or movement of any kind seems to add to his suffering and his fever could be signs of something that needs attention." Another pause.
"Yes, they'll be waiting for you. Please keep is informed" Without another word, Kyoya hung up and the silence returned as the hosts preoared to leave.
"Keep your phones on everyone, Hikaru will be contacting us with any informatiin he gets." Having given the instruction, Kyoya was once again dialing . All they could do was wait.
