Alright dolls! Here is the Hikaru/Kaoru/OC fic I promised. Most of the people who got a hold of me were a fan of the mutual pairing. I'm sorry if you wanted the singles, but I can't please everyone.
"So what do you think of this club?"
The twins glanced to Tamaki, who was looking rather proud of himself.
"It's just a run down jazz club," Hikaru said.
"Why did you want to take us here anyway?" Kaoru quipped. "You've never been into jazz before."
Tamaki just shrugged, the dim lighting making his blonde hair seem even more angelic. "Just a passing fancy I had."
"There's something you're not telling us." Hikaru grumbled, not at all fooled by his friend's innocent look.
A few experimental bass notes rang across the club and Tamaki began excitedly bouncing up and down
"What are you-."
"Shhhh!" Tamaki admonished as the lights dimmed.
"Why-."
"Shhh!"
Kaoru threw his hands up but settled into his plush booth seat anyways.
A blue light flickered on and lit up a neat oval of the small stage. A darkened figure was perched on a tall barstool, a mike held carefully in one hand.
As the light brightened, the features of the figure were more easily made out.
It was a woman, with dark eyes and proud cheekbones. A knowing smile played on her full lips as the bass started playing.
A few bars later and the girl started in. Her voice was a beautiful - sultry with a gentle lilt of something sweeter.
"You know her?" Hikaru hissed at Tamaki when the song was over.
The blonde nodded, his smile only widening.
"What lies did you tell the poor woman?"
Tamaki had the decency to look affronted. "I didn't lie about anything! I actually met her through my father."
"Your father?"
He nodded. "Myndi's family are architects. They were working with my father on some new project he's undertaking."
"That's an unusual name." Kaoru commented, "Is she American?"
"Canadian." A new voice chimed in.
"Hello Myndi. You were great tonight. Have a seat and I'll get you something to drink." Tamaki excused himself, discreetly leaving her alone with the twins.
"So, you're Kaoru and Hikaru right?"
The two nodded.
"You two have gotten a lot more mature since high school."
Hikaru arched an eyebrow. "That's funny. King over there insists we haven't changed a bit."
Myndi laughed. "I mean physically. Tamaki's showed me some of your high school pictures and you guys have really filled out since then."
Kaoru and Hikaru had to admit she had a point. Yes they'd gotten taller, and yes their mischievous tenor had gotten a slight baritone rasp, but they'd changed in other ways too.
Gone were the spindly legs, the boyish figure. Their chest had broadened, their hips had thinned. Their large hands now fit the rest of their body.
The twins had grown up since high school, and they both knew it.
"Here you go." Tamaki settled back into the seats of the booth and set a glass in front of Myndi.
"Thanks." She said, taking a sip. "So did you tell Hikaru and Kaoru about the squirrel in the office?"
Tamaki's grin widened impossibly as he launched into his tale.
They continued like that all night. Just little stories told with the sole purpose of getting a smile.
And it didn't last nearly as long as Kaoru and Hikaru would have liked.
"Bye." Myndi murmured, giving the three a wink. "It was nice meeting you Kaoru and Hikaru. Good to see you again Tamaki."
Tamaki smiled easily and helped Myndi into a long grey and black coat. "I'm glad I got to see you perform again."
The brunette just laughed. "You're such a flatterer."
"Yeah he hasn't changed much since high school." Hikaru muttered under his breath.
Tamaki shot him a woeful glance. "There is nothing wrong with my passion and flair!"
The twins just rolled their eyes as the exuberant blonde crossed the cracked parking lot where his car was waiting.
"He's quite something." Myndi said as Tamaki pulled away from the jazz club.
"Yeah he is." The twins agreed.
Myndi smiled. "It really was nice meeting you two. I hope I see you around again sometime."
She turned away from them, the subtle movement making her glossy brunette hair flicker in the winter wind.
"Come have coffee with us?" They hadn't even realized they were speaking until the words had already left their lips.
She turned back to them. "I don't drink coffee but I'd love to have tea with you."
"Sure."
For a long moment they all stood still, barely breathing as gentle snowflakes began drifting down to Earth.
Hikaru was the first to shake it off, "Come on what are we waiting for?"
Myndi smiled, "Alright where do you want to go?"
Another pause.
"Well, we aren't really from around here." Kaoru admitted, cheeks flushing with minor embarrassment.
But Myndi just smiled. "I was kind of hoping you'd say that. Come on. I'll take you to my favorite café in the whole world."
The twins could only follow her.
There you are! Chapter one of the K-H-OC fic I promised. Once this one and the one featuring Kyoya are done I will start on Honey and Mori :]
