Finally the clock rang, signaling that the last lesson for the day was over. Was a heavy sigh, you stretched and took your bag. As you stood again an arm wrapped around you shoulders and it was clear to you whom it belonged to. "So, _ why don't you come to the host club today?" "To watch dozents of lovesick girls swoon over you guys without realizing that none of you actually has feelings for one of them?" your replied and shrugged the arm off without looking at the owner but it immediately relocated around your waist. You were pulled closer into a male body and hand found it's was under your chin, titling it up and to the side to meet Hikaru's green-brown eyes. "You could watch me instead" he purred somehow seductive but you placed a hand on his face and pushed him away "Not interested" you told him,then grabbed your stuff and walked out of the room.
As you were walking down the hallway another familiar voice called your name and as you turned around you saw the other Hitachiin brother running towards you, whom you would consider as one of your best friends. "What's up?" you asked as he came to a halt in front of you. "Oh, not much. Just wanted to talk to you" You sighed, knowing what was coming, so you weren't surprised about his next question "So, why do you really don't want to come to the host club?"
"I hate it when all those girls stare at me like I'm some kind of alien" you told him as you straightened your pleated skirt. Since you hate those puffy yellow dresses the girls wear at ouran you had used your sewing skills to make yourself a female version of the boys uniform. Now you were wearing a white blouse with a blue-gray blazer and skirt. Then there also is the fakt that the tips of your long black hair are dyed pink, which most of the other students saw as inappropriate.
"All right, I understand that" Kaoru admitted but then he stoppep by holding onto your shoulders and looking sternly in your eyes "But I know that's not the real reason"
With an heavy sigh you leaned against the wall, your arms crossed over your chest "I hate seeing him doing this stupid act as one of the 'devilish twins'" you eventually admitted, too embarrassed to look at Kaoru directly.
"What do you mean?" he wanted to know, sounding genuinly confused "Kaoru, you know that I really...like Hikaru but unlike all of your fan girls or 'costumers' I like the real him and not the role he has in the club"
Hikaru nodded and crossed his arm in a thinking position "But there's also something else troubling you, isn't it?" he asked and you giggled "You know me too well...Yes there is something and it's also about Hikaru. I just don't get him. One time he's so nice to me and then he just puts up and act like in the club. I just don't know if he likes or if I'm just another customer for him"
Suddenly Kaoru stood in front of you and wrapped his arms around you. You just leaned into his embrace, realizing how much you needed a shoulder to lean on "Sometimes I wish he would be more like you, Kaoru" you mumbled into the fabric of shirt "Your so much more open about your feelings" Kaoru just chuckled "No, you don't want him to be like me. Remember, you like him not me" "Your right" you admitted and kissed his cheek "Your a good friend"
As you made your way out of the school a while later once again someone called out your name "What's it today?" you asked yourself and turned towards the host clubs' king, Tamaki "I'm glad I got you before you left" he panted "I wanted to invite you to a party at my house tonight. We celebrate the one-year-aniversary of the host clup" "All right" you agreed, liking a good party with your friends "I'll be there"

Evening

Loud music was blasting in your room while you danced around, comping your hair to the beat. Afterwards you stepped to your closet, searching for an outfit. Eventually you decided for a black and red checkered skirt with black tights underneath and a simply black tank top. A pair of black boots completed the outfit and with one last glance in the mirror, you decided that you were done and called for your driver to get the car ready.
A short time later you pulled up in front of Tamaki's villa, the door being opened by one of the mades, who led you into a big hall, where already a lot of people were celebrating.
As you looked around the room, you spotted Hikaru in one corner but this time he wasn't surrounded by girls but sitting alone looking deep in thoughts and slightly depressed.
You were about to walk over to him when a Tamaki popped up in front of you "Ah, my princess. It's great to have you with us" he chimed and took your hand, pressing a hasty kiss on it's back, causing you to role your eyes. "I hope you enjoy the party so far" "I just arrived" you explained and gently freed yourself of his arm that he had placed over your shoulder "But it seems to a lot of fun from what I've seen" "Just wait a little. Then the real fun begins" Tamaki tells you with a wink, then danced over to some new guests.
Now that you were free to go on searching for Hikaru but he was gone from where you'd spotted him before. You looked around the room for him but once again you didn't make it far as you were interrupted by the king once again.
"Now my dearest guests we will play a commoners game and it's called seven minutes in heaven but we will make it twenty" Murmures errupted from around the room, mixed with some cheers and giggled as well as some complains and shocked cries. While the game is still discused among the guest, Tamaki whirled around the room to collect different objects from the guys and dropped them in a fancy bowl, that Kaoru held for him. When he was done he searched around the room for his first victim and when his gaze met yours a smirk spreat over his face. "Dearest _, would you take the honour of the first pick?" he asked cheerily and gestured to the bowl Kaoru was still holding.
"Fine" you sighed and took a step towards the twin, stucking your hand in the bowl. "Search for a ring" you heard a mumble and as you looked up, you met Kaoru's urgend gaze. Not sure what he was planning, you decided to trust him anyway and concentrating on searching something that would feel like a ring. Eventually your fingertips met something that had the right form and you closed your hand around it. Pulling the object out, you actually found a silver ring in your palm and as you looked back up, you found a content smile in Kaoru's face.
"Whom does the ring belong to?" you asked and held it above your head, freezing in your movement as Hikaru stepped out of the crowd "That would be me" he replied, then grabbed your hand that still was high up in the air and pulled you with him in the closet.
"Hey Hikaru, are you all right?" you asked into the darkness, your eyes not yet adjusted after the door had closed "You looked so depressed out there" "Yeah, I was just thinking about something" "And what would that be?" you asked, unable to hold back your curiosity.
At first he didn't answer and you thought you had angered him but then he sighed and eventually said "I saw you with Kaoru today"
Your eyes widened as you remembered how close you stood and how you hugged "It's not what it looked like" you tried to explain hastily but Hikaru just chuckled "I know. Kaoru explained it to me...but I have to admit after I hit him" Hikaru said and stepped closer to you, taking your hands in his, playing with them without looking at you directly "He also told me some other things" he whispered and you immediately blushed, knowing those things were.
"I, ah, well you see-" you stuttered not really knowing what to say but Hikaru pulled and embraced you tightly "You don't have to explain anything" he whispered in your ear "I am the one who has to explain something and to appologize" "Appologize?" you questioned "You didn't do anything to me" "Yes, I did. I hurt you by hiding my true feelings and not showing how special you are to me" Hikaru pulled away a little to be able to look in your eyes "Your not just another potential customer to me, _. Your the only girl that knows who I really am and that I have deep feelings for"
"Hikaru" you whispered shocked but also more than happy but before you were able to say anything else, you were pulled in a deep passionate kiss. Immediately you wrapped your arms around his neck and fisted your hand in his soft hair. Also Hikaru's arms shifted, one he placed around your hips and the other was moced so his hand laid at your nape, holding you in place while his lips massaged yours.
His tongue flicked out to trace your lips and you didn't hesitate to part your lips, greeting your invading tongue with your own. They wrapped against each others' until you gave in and allowed him to explore freely. When he knew theexpand of your mouth like the back of his hand, he gave you free and allowed you some deep breaths.
He himself didn't need as much recovery time as you and soon you found his lips gliding over the curve of your neck and suddenly bit down on your neck. Your head fell back and you a moan escaped your throat. Hikaru's lips curved into a smirk against your skin and he started to suck and bite that spot, enjoying the sounds that came from you. When a purplish mark had formed, he kissed it one last time, then came back up and pulled you into him, kissing you deeply and passionately.
A few seconds later the door was thrown open and you were blinded by the bright light that spilled into the room.
Whistles filled the hall and as you stepped out with Hikaru's arm around your waist, you met the smiling face of his twin. 'Thank you' you mouthed to him as you passed him and he just winked back. Hikaru led you to the couch he had sat on when you'd arrived, where he sat down and pulled you onto his lab. You snuggled into him as his arms wrapped around you protectively, scowling at every male who dared to look at you.
"Hey, do you still have the ring you pulled out of the bowl?" he wanted to know and you lifted your hand to show him the ring that was placed on your finger. "I don't have any pockets, so I thought there it would be save. Do you want it back?" "No,no!" Hikaru replied and stopped you as you were about to pull it of "It actually is ment for you. It's a promise ring that you're the only girl I love. None of the host club costumers is important to me" he told you and kissed you gently "And it's ment to show everyone that you're mine and only mine"
