It was Friday at Ouran Academy and the host club was in session. Tamaki was busy with his usual group of ladies, Kyoya was at his table awaiting his first appointment, Honey and Mori talked with their small group, making them giggle, and Hikaru and I shared our unconditional intense brotherly love with our ladies. Haruhi had gone off to run an errand for the Host club, so to me, everything was good and normal. One of them squealed, "Oh you two are just so cute!" Hikaru smiled, "why thank you." Then he grabbed my chin with his fingers and lifted my face towards him, "I'm glad that you say that, are you glad brother? Some people don't like this do they brother?" His soft, sad tone made me almost blush, I grabbed his face gently and played along with his emotions, "Oh Hikaru…don't pay attention to them okay? I hate to see you so sad." He leaned forward and kissed my nose, getting another fan-girl scream from the ladies, "Okay I won't Kaoru." I pulled myself into his lap and by instinct I said his name back, "Hikaru…" I love you... A couple hours later the Host Club and everyone said their goodbyes for the weekend. On the way home I help Hikaru's hand and stared out the window. I'm usually not bothered by small things that happen between Haruhi and Hikaru…I mean, we're all supposed to be in love with her right? But for some reason what happened today was really bothering me. Before we left today Haruhi hugged Hikaru, both of us always did but this time…Haruhi hugged Hikaru and i…separately. And Hikaru…didn't seem to mind. Even at the moment Hikaru seemed off. Since we left Ouran Academy, Hikaru hadn't said a thing to me, or even looked at me. I feel like I've done something wrong but I don't know what I could have done. We got home and as always we went straight to our room. I had already changed and gotten into the bed when I realized that Hikaru wasn't with me. "Hikaru," I called out. When I didn't get an answer I got out of the bed and went into the hall, "Hikaru?" I saw some light coming from the guest room at the end of the hall. Thinking someone in there would know where Hikaru was, I went to the door and knocked, When the door opened I had to take a few steps backward, "H-Hikaru," I could't believe it was Hikaru. "Yes Kaoru," his tone cut through me like a knife…he sounded almost cold, my voice cracked when I tried to speak, "Brother I…why are you in the guest room?" He reached out to me and put his hand on my neck and traced his thumb across my jaw bone, so instinctively I wrapped my arms around his waist. "Kaoru I…," His face looked pained, I hated to see my Hikaru so sad, then he finally finished, "I think I love Haruhi." I froze, one of my hands slid away from him waist, I looked up at him…I was hurt, sad, confused, did he just say he loved…..Haruhi? His grip tightened on my face and he looked like he was holding back tears, "I'm sorry Kaoru…" With that, he pushed me away and shut the door. Hot tears ran down my face and I crumpled to the ground, my body shook violently with sobs. It was like my whole life had just pushed me onto the floor, shut the door in my face, and left me to die. All in an instant. I'd just lost the love of my life…my twin, the one who was always there for me…the one who loved me…because of the new girl.
