KAO POV

Man, I wish I was Haruhi, I sure wish I was the one Hikaru wanted. I wish I was the one getting hugged by him right now.

I looked on, my brother was jumping up and down with Haruhi in his arms because she had just scored a strike. Tonight we were bowling.

I felt like the light bulb. Seriously, I was like the little kid that our parents had forced them to take on their dates. Well, Hikaru always insisted anyways. I sat on the benches, waiting for Hikaru to take his turn. Dang, I'm such a letdown, I should really get a girl right now, at least I could distract myself.

Hikaru let go of Haruhi and started his turn, his first ball went into the gutter.

I laughed quietly and shook my head. Hikaru was never the good one at bowling. Haruhi smiled at me and came over to sit next to me.

"What's up? You seem happy today." She sounded like a child, maybe because Hikaru was around her too much, she had become more playful.

I looked to the ground, I wanted to admit I liked Hikaru more than just a brother, I wanted to say I wish I was in her place, but I didn't, "Nothing, I'm just thinking of how bad Hikaru is," I motioned to the score board, I was in first place with 62 points, then Haruhi with 49 and lastly, Hikaru, with 11, "I guess he's used to our personal bowling places, where the gutters are covered."

Haruhi laughed pleasantly, "Yeah, let's just say he's warming up!" She winked as Hikaru pranced around, he had just scored 2 points, "Hey your turn Kao."

I got up, as Hikaru replaced me next to Haruhi. Mentally, I hit myself, why did I come here again? I wished I just stayed home and slept, I looked back just in time to see Haruhi give my brother a quick peck on the cheek, Damn, I hate myself for liking my own brother .I guess our host club acts had gotten to me.

I picked up a heavy ball, took a few steps back, and correctly threw it, unlike the between the legs thing Hikaru did. I got 6 pins down, I picked up another ball and then knocked the others down. Spare, YES.

I turned back and grinned at my proud brother, I concentrated on my brother's happy face while Haruhi and I switched places.

Then. I. Tripped.

HARU POV

Hikaru rushed up to Kaoru. I hated how worried Hikaru looked. I hated how Hikaru only had true feeling for his younger brother. His intentions for me are only half hearted. I wasn't mad though. Kaoru deserved Hikaru's kindness. I'm only the intruder.

I went to kneel beside the handsome duo, Hikaru was holding an uncomfortable Kaoru in his arms protectively.

"Haruhi, just take your turn okay? I'll see to Kaoru…" Hikaru may have realized he was a bit harsh, "Please?" His attention went back to his brother, "Kaoru, you okay? Does it hurt anywhere? Can you get up?"

Kaoru grunted, "Well, if you let go of me… I think I can breathe then…" Hikaru and Kaoru giggled together.

I went back to have my turn, I picked up the heavy ball, I admit, I was a bit jealous of the bond Hikaru and Kaoru had, it was something no one could ever relate to, they just go back into their own world at times.

I rolled the ball down the surface, it went into the gutter. I probably let my jealousy blind me, I picked up another one and tried again, I hit 3 pins Last one, I picked up the ball and gently guided it towards the middle pin. It knocked down 4 more.

I sighed in content and turned back. Hikaru and Kaoru were now sitting side by side talking about something that was apparently funny.

"Hikaru! Your turn!" I called, I stepped down from the platform, and I teased, "It's the last round! Betcha can't get a strike!"

Kaoru laughed, "Yeah, you couldn't anyways. It's impossible!"

Hikaru hit Kaoru on the head affectionately and switched places with me.

I sat down and smiled at Kaoru, maybe it was my imagination, but he seemed uncomfortable.

I sat watching Hikaru, 'concentrating' on the ball, while Kaoru stared at me.

"Hey Haruhi… Do you love Hikaru?"

I almost laughed, "Of course, I'm… his girlfriend…"

Kaoru looked like he was going to cry, "Do you think I'm a bother? Do you want me to stop tagging along when you and Hikaru go on dates?" He looked down ashamed, "I really am sorry for bothering you guys."

Honestly, I would've liked nothing more than to have time alone with Hikaru, but the sheer loneness in Kaoru's eyes pushed me to say the opposite, "No, it's more fun with you, Kao," Yes, I was more fun, but I really wanted to, WAIT! Kaoru should be the one who captivates all of Hikaru's attention, he is letting me share some of it, I should be grateful.

Kaoru smiled, Oh god, how cute he can be. No wonder Hikaru loves him.

HIKA POV

I closed my eyes and let the ball go, it rolled along the middle line until… until… IT HIT THE MIDDLE PIN!

I watched as the pins fell over like dominos. STRIKE!

Haruhi practically squealed and pranced over to hug me. I latched onto her and smiled at Kaoru, Life was good, having the perfect little brother, and a wonderful girlfriend.

Kaoru stepped up, he had always been better than me in bowling; apparently it was the difference of patience levels. I unlatched myself from Haruhi and patted Kaoru on the back, "Good luck!"

I knew he was going to win anyways, but I was the big brother here.

I watched him grin adorably and then he stepped up. He grabbed the ball and froze. Suddenly my younger brother shuddered and kneeled down, probably in fear of falling over.

I rushed over to him, he seemed faint, "Hey Kaoru, you okay?" I looked back at Haruhi, she was sitting in a chair, clutching her head, "Haruhi? You okay?"

Kaoru looked me in the eyes, he stared at me with a look I've never seen on his face before, I was a extremely serious look, I reminded me of… Haruhi. I dismissed the odd look and lead Kaoru to the chairs, then I examined Haruhi, she also had a peculiar look on her face, it was of a childish expression, yes, she had loosened up since she started dating me, but she never let her guard down so much… she reminded me of Kaoru.

HARU POV

I practically trembled in Hikaru's arms, one minute I was sitting on the chairs and then next I'm up there holding a ball. Funny thing was, was that I never moved a muscle. I looked at me hands, they were paler and larger. I looked at Hikaru, I had the same skin tone. Now this, was getting freaky. I looked at the person sitting in the chair beside me. It was me.
