"...Kyouya-sempai..."

Brown eyes look up from the chart they are reading.

"Kaoru... What brings you here? At this time, as I might add. Shouldn't you be... with your brother or something?"

The redhead bites his lower lip and clenches his fists tightly as he stares at the ground. "You know... that Hikaru's out with Haruhi..."

Blinking, the brunet puts away his laptop and stands up, crossing the room to put a hand on the younger boy's shoulder. "...Is that why you came here?"

Cat-like eyes turn up, looking at the older one, searching his face for sympathy. He nods once. "And I thought... I thought... you know..."

"Since Tamaki is not here either, you thought I might need some company," Kyouya finishes for the younger Hitachiin twin. "Isn't that what you were thinking?"

A nervous smile. "Yeah... Something like that."

The brunet looks at his younger companion, searching for the right words to say and the right things to do, but in the end he just sighs and closes his eyes, adjusting his glasses. "Kaoru," he says softly, leaning down a bit, gently cupping a pale cheek, before he closes the last distance and kisses waiting lips softly.

A shudder washes over Kaoru as they kiss, like they did so many times before, when they were comforting each other in the absence of the other's respective love focus.

They keep these occasions locked up deep inside themselves, where nobody will ever find it and talk to nobody about their little meetings. Not even the ones closest to them know, not even Haruhi they hope, even though they cannot know, since the girl seems to sense everything that is going around her, despite she does never notice anything when it involves her.

So they lock the door behind them and live the fantasies they can never dream of when they are awake, when they cannot talk about things like that, because then Tamaki and Hikaru would be around and no matter how low the odds are that they would, they could always notice what is going on behind closed doors.
