Authors Note: I know…you all hate me now for posting yet another fic when I haven't finished those I've started. Gomen. TT But I just recently spotted Host Club, and I couldn't help but fall in love with the HikaHaru pairing…so I want to write a story about them! Whaaa!

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran Host Club or its characters; although I have claimed Hikaru as one of my personal Bishies. squeeeee He's so cute!

More than Us

"Ano…Hikaru?" The younger brother's soft words went unheeded as his twin shifted in the bed beside him. It was early morning, and Kaoru had been awakened by his brother's voice. But it seemed Hikaru had been mumbling in his sleep, a troublesome habit which had recently surfaced, "Hikaru, wake up!"

"N-nani?" The elder twin yawned as he rubbed his eyes, glancing toward the grey dawn which had appeared outside the window, "Kaoru…why are you waking me? It's Saturday. We don't have classes…"

"You're the one who woke me." Kaoru replied with a small smile, "You were sleep talking again."

"Gomen." Hikaru ran a hand through his rusty colored hair, "I don't know why I've started doing that."

Kaoru did. A small smile played on his lips, though the normally mischievous air of his grin was replaced with a slightly sad tugging at the corners of his mouth. The answer lay in what exactly his brother had said, one word that expressed the change which had over come the twins. Haruhi.

"Don't apologize," the younger brother murmured, rising from the bed, "I've had enough sleep."

With that being said Kaoru gathered a towel and headed towards the sibling's private bath. Since he was awake, he may as well get ready for the day. The soft sound of water turning hitting tile soon filled the spacious bedroom. Hikaru yawned once more, watching as grey skies shifted color, filling in with pinks and oranges. Sparse clouds reflected the colors of the morning sky, amplifying the beauty. And though he knew not why, Hikaru found himself reminded of the way the light shone on Haruhi's beautiful skin.

After a brief shower, the younger twin emerged, towel wrapped tightly around his narrow waist. He could tell his brother was lost in daydreams, and another sad smile spread across his lips. He was losing the only person he'd ever really known. They should have known the day would come. They couldn't spend eternity together. Eventually the twins should have known that they would grow apart.

"Ne, Hikaru," Kaoru ventured thoughtfully as he tossed a towel to his daydreaming clone to indicate that the shower was free, "Since there's nothing else to do, maybe we should take a trip to the commoner's market?"

Roused from his thoughts, the elder Hitachiin pulled the towel from his head and glanced towards his brother, "Why? Isn't there something you'd rather do around here?"

"Not really," the towel clad youth shrugged as he spoke, "Besides, we might get to see Haruhi this way. You know…" He put a finger to his lip, "It would be even better if we stopped in to see Haruhi to begin with."

"Eh?" Hikaru blushed mildly at the notion that his sibling seemed to be reading his thoughts. How had Kaoru known that Haruhi was on his mind? Then again, they had always had a sort of twin telepathy, "Why would I want to do that? Besides, she probably has other plans!"

"I know you miss her on the weekends," Kaoru flashed a grin his brother's way, snatching up his cell and dialing Haruhi's number, "So let's go! I'll call and let her know we're coming."

After several rings, a drowsy voice echoed through the receiver, "M-moshi moshi?"

"Haruhi!" Kaoru beamed, though the enthusiastic voice which usually supplied his stereo effect remained silent.

"Kaoru-kun?" The girl murmured from the other end of the line, "Do you even know what time it is?"

"Gomen, gomen. We woke up early, and I guess I forgot that others wouldn't be up yet," He sheepishly replied, rubbing the back of his neck while Hikaru glared his direction.

"Well…what did you want?" Haruhi's voice was muffled by a yawn.

"Ano…we were wondering if you would like to hang out today! You could show us some of the commoners' sights!"

"Eh? You're serious? Don't you two have something better to do?"

"Nope!"

Haruhi sighed softly, "Fine, you can come over. How about waiting till around nine though?"

"That sounds good! We'll see you then." Kaoru hung up the phone with a click; he turned to see his brother still looking at him, stupefied by what had just occurred, "There! Now we have Haruhi all to ourselves for the day."

If Hikaru wasn't going to at least take some initiative, he may well lose the Host Club's little pet to Tamaki. That would break his heart. So, Kaoru had secretly devised a plan; the "Get Hikaru alone with Haruhi" plan. It was true that Kaoru didn't want to lose his brother, but at the same time, he didn't want to see Hikaru hurt either.

"Hikaru, you should probably get showered. We're meeting her at her house at nine." The younger twin advised, sending Hikaru scrambling into the bathroom.

With a satisfied and yet slightly saddened expression, Kaoru got dressed for the day. So far, the plan was going very well.

Author's Note: Well, I hope I didn't stray too far from their characters. I'm hardly an expert on the series…
