euphoria .

× ··· prologue .

The autumn air played at her hair causing her bangs to sweep over her face. The years had caused her boyish trim to lengthen her hair. She watched her twins play in the park, never really leaving one another. It was funny how when she saw them she saw other people too. The eldest, by two minutes, was helping his sister onto the swing. He looked a lot like his father, with his messy hair and physique, but had his mother's amber eyes. The younger one also looked alot like her father, especially with her dirty blonde hair pulled back into messy pigtails. Obviously, they were fraternal twins.

Haruhi looked over to the horizon and then to her watch. It was 2:32 pm. She stood up from the bench and called to them, "Minoru, Minako! Time to go."

Upon hearing their mother's words Minako jumped from the swing and began to run while her brother ran beside her. They ran up to Haruhi and clung to her skirt.

"Mommy, mommy! Did you see me jump off the swing? I went really high!"

"Only because I pushed you," Minoru said matter-of-factly.

Haruhi smiled at them and began walking home with the twins at her side babbling on and off.

…who cares, let's rock…

The day rolled on by as it usually did for Haruhi. Of course it had its surprises due to the twins.

Like some macaroni and cheese stuffed into the oven, burnt to a crisp…
and bubbles flowing massively out from the washer changing the laundry room into bubble wonderland…
and some of the fishes swimming in the bathtub…
not to mention that all the clocks were synchronized…with Hawaii.

After much chaos, they had collected their laundry from the clothes line, cleaned their rooms, ate their dinner, washed up and were now being tucked into bed. She kissed them both before turning off the light. She left their bedroom door ajar to let the hallway light stream inside just a little for her daughter. Smiling through the crack of the door Haruhi walked towards the kitchen to clean the mess they had left behind.

While she dried the dishes she heard a door creek open. From the sink she could see Minoru walk down the hallway and climb up onto a stool in front of the counter.

"Did you want something, Minoru?" Haruhi asked.

Minoru only cradled his head in his hands looking at his mother. "I couldn't sleep."

Haruhi looked up from the dishes. "Why not?"

Minoru only shrugged. "I don't know. It's just…" he lingered on for a moment longer before saying, "can we visit Daddy?"

Haruhi looked up, surprised but it faded away and was replaced with a smile. Wiping her hands on a towel she walked around the counter before embracing her son.

"We'll go tomorrow, okay?" Haruhi said in a gentle voice.

Minoru smiled and also added, "Can we see everyone else too? Hikaru and Kaoru and Kyouya and Mori and Honey," he took a breath before continuing. "We haven't seen them in a while."

Haruhi's eye's widened just a bit by this but smiled again anyway. "Of course we can, but only if you go back to bed, okay?"

She gave him another kiss before sending him off to his room.

As Minoru entered their room Haruhi heard a knock on the door. Odd, she wasn't expecting anyone so late at night. Okay, maybe it wasn't that late, but it was still odd. She walked over to the door to look through the peephole but it was much to dark to identify who her guest was. Haruhi could however say safely that it was a man. She unlocked the door, eyes still glued to the peephole and rotated the knob. Haruhi opened the door and once the kitchen light hit his face her eyes widened yet again.

"Kyouya-senpai…?"

Kyouya took a step forward closing the gap between the two of them.

"I have something to tell you, Haruhi."

…skipping beats, blushing cheeks…

disclaimer : I, of course, do not own Ouran.

note : my first ever fic in a long long time. So that was my
prologue. short, sweet, and to the point. Lawl. No not really.
Please tell me what you think. I'd be very happy with feedback.
I feel like I'll be needing a beta reader as well. You know, to
check for grammar, spelling mistakes, etc etc. Just send me a
message if you're interested or leave it in your review. If you
bother to leave one that is. Naha. See you guys in chapter one.
& I promise it will be much longer. This was just a prologue.
