Summary: The Host Club, as always, was the rich and beautiful playground for handsome men with too much time on their hands to entertain ladies also with too much time on their hands. But to Kaoru, something was off. Hikaru has been acting strange lately, but why? Rated M for the next chapter and others if I have the will to do it. (Reviews = willpower points!)
Brotherly Love gone Wrong; Part One: The Incident
Nothing had ever been worse in the twin's lives. Not only at home now, but now even at the Host Club. People were staring, and it wasn't the fan girls. All the people they usually avoided were now talking about them, staring them down the hallway. Every single class was a dread for them, knowing what people thought of them now. The only refuge they could find was in each other, and right now that was one of the worst things ever.
It had all started about one week ago, before Host club had even started… Before the act would take place. No one expected it; how could they? It was something that could not have been foretold, have been prevented. But like they all say, someone always trips. And, of course, that very cliché thing is exactly what happened. Kaoru tripped over a book on the ground, Hikaru caught him, and their lips met.
As it happened, Hikaru could feel the eyes on him, and in that second of the kiss, he could tell that people would already be talking about the forbidden love. No one else saw the trip. No one else saw the fall. All they saw was the kiss. That single kiss was all it would take to incidentally change the whole 'brotherly love' act forever.
'Why did this have to happen?' Hikaru thought as he tried to block himself off from the world. How come, all of a sudden, all this had to just take his seemingly great world and throw it away? He didn't mind the kiss, not at all, but it was the words and the stares that had tipped the scales. If anything, he did really love his younger brother, even if a little too much to be normal, but he also knew that that would never change, that no matter what, they would still be there for each other. Somehow, knowing that through it all Kaoru would still be there, this thought managed to get him through the week. He slowly put everyone else in the back of his mind and focused on what he was going to do this weekend. His parents were going away for a few weeks on a business meeting in Tokyo, so they would be home alone for a while.
As Friday had come and gone, and the host club was wrapping up and clearing out, the twins decided they would go home. There was nothing more for them to do anyway, and it's not like the king would care if the mischievous duo were out of his hair for once. They bid their farewells to the rest of their clients and members, and headed down the hallway towards the limo awaiting them. They climbed in and began the drive home, and Kaoru had said the one thing that had been on his mind all week. "Hikaru, something's wrong with you. What is it?"
In response, Hikaru sighed, trying to hide the anger in his voice. "Kaoru, we kissed. In front of everyone. That is not acceptable to anyone. No one saw you trip, no one saw anything but the kiss, and now they've started saying things and staring and it's been getting on my nerves, okay?" 'Great, I'm getting loud… God, why now, Kaoru?' "It was an accident that should not have happened. I'm… I'm sorry, Kaoru, but I can't ignore what they say or the stares. It's driving me mad!" Kaoru leaned over, grabbing Hikaru's hand, and said "Hika, I don't regret what happened. Sure, it's getting some attention, but don't worry about it, okay? I'll be here for you, reminding you that it's going to be alright." Hikaru smiled at his younger brother's words, assuring himself. 'Well, at least we have the weekend to work this out.'
