Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Ouran High School Host Club. That is the genius of Bisco Hatori. The only things I own are all of the manga's, a love of the characters, and a desire to be Haruhi. If I were Mori would be mine! (And if he turned me down I'd go after Kyoya) Heeheehee
A/N: I was introduced very late to the wonderful world of Ouran, so I am not even sure if anyone is still reading these, but I wanted to write a fanfic for the person who introduced me to this awesome anime. Tiffany, you're as sweet as Hunny-Senpai. Since you love the twins so much, this one's for you!
Kaoru walked through the halls of Ouran University with his twin brother Hikaru. It was hard to believe they were nearing the end of their first semester.
"Where is Haruhi?" Hikaru said. "She said she'd meet us at 8:00am outside the Library so where is she?"
Kaoru glanced at his watch. "It's only 8:02, Hikaru. She probably got stuck in a long line at the café getting her tea. She'll be here."
"But it's past time for her to be here," Hikaru complained still searching the halls for her.
Kaoru sighed at his brother's grumblings. Hikaru never had much patience. He had even less when it came to waiting for Haruhi. Especially since they began dating. Kaoru thought about that night three months ago when his brother burst in their bedroom door shouting, "Haruhi is mine, Kaoru, she's finally mine." Apparently when Hikaru took Haruhi to the amusement park he got up the nerve to kiss her on the Ferris wheel. Before dropping her off at her house he asked her to be his girlfriend and even though she had said no in the past this time she had said yes.
Kaoru could still remember the shock he felt that night. To some degree he still felt it. Over three years ago he had stepped aside to ensure his brothers happiness, but Haruhi had rejected him. He would never admit it out loud but there was a small part of him that breathed a sigh of relief at Haruhis rejection. As much as he wanted to see Hikaru happy he loved Haruhi too and so he decided that it was better if they all just stayed friends. It was working well for them all too until three months ago when Haruhi accepted Hikarus request and changed the dynamics of their relationship.
"Where is she?" Hikaru growled his impatience growing.
Kaoru spotted her at the far end of the hallway. He almost grabbed Hikaru's arm to point her out when an uncharacteristic bit of selfishness stopped him. He wanted to savor this moment before Hikaru claimed her all to himself. His heart stopped in his chest. She was beautiful. Her hair touched her shoulders now, and her chest was twice the size it had been in their first year of high school. Although since she was as flat as an ironing board back then twice the size still only made her a B cup. Still they suited her since everything about her was tiny. She drew closer giving him a better glimpse of the skintight Hitachiin jeans she was wearing. Those jeans showed off the dip in her waist and the slight flare of her tiny hips. She had on a tight fitting red sweater that accentuated her chest in a mouth watering way. Her black leather ankle boots could faintly be heard in the distance. Dressed from head to toe in Hitachiin she looked like every other rich kid who graced the halls of Ouran Academy but she wasn't she was a commoner who happened to be best friends with the sons of the top fashion designer in Japan. They've been trying for years to get her to dress in their clothes but once she became Hikaru's girlfriend there was no stopping their mother. Even Haruhi had to relent.
He could look at her forever and die a happy man but sensing Hikaru's discomfort he shrugged off his selfish moment and remembered to share.
"Here she comes," he said pointing toward her. Unfortunately he pointed her out just as some guy was approaching her from the side. Uh-oh, this was not going to go over too well.
"Who the hell is that?" Hikaru growled as he headed toward his girlfriend. Hoping to keep Hikaru calm Kaoru decided to follow.
Hikaru was pissed as he watched some guy eyeing his girl up and down. Who the hell was this guy and what right did he think he had to leer at Haruhi?
"Hey, Gorgeous," he said as he wrapped himself around her pressing his body close to hers. Kaoru putting an arm around her shoulder and kissed her cheek.
"Hey, guys," she said as she tried to return Hikaru's hug but found that she couldn't move.
"Who's this?" Hikaru asked as he nuzzled into her cheek his arms still wrapped around her tiny waist. He frowned as she struggled to get out of his tight embrace. 'Oh, Haruhi, you should know better than that,' he thought as he held her firmer against him. After more than three years of his arms around her she should be used to it by now but Haruhi was not one for public displays of affection. 'Too bad,' he thought. With this guy hanging around she was just going to have to endure it.
"This is Takigawa-kun. He's in my criminal justice class. This is Hikaru and Kaoru," she said gesturing to each twin in turn.
"So, twins huh?" He asked eyeing the both of them on each side of her.
'Yeah,' Hikaru thought. 'You're a freaking genius.'
"Yup. Identical twins. Only Haruhi can tell us apart without fall," Kaoru said.
"Really? I shouldn't be surprised you seem like very close….friends," Takigawa said.
"Well, Kaoru and Haruhi are very close friends but me and Haruhi are much more than that," Hikaru said followed by running his mouth up the side of her neck.
"Hikaru," Haruhi whispered trying in vain to put some space between them.
"What?" Hikaru asked innocently. "We are." He looked at Takigawa. "She's my girlfriend."
"Ah," Takigawa said. "Well my next class is about to start so let me know when we can get together."
"Get together?" Hikaru asked bristling in her arms. "Didn't you just hear me? Haruhi's my girl."
"Yeah, I heard you but we have a project to work on so I'll be borrowing her for a little bit."
Hikaru narrowed his eyes on this guy who smirked when he talked about 'borrowing' her.
"Call me, Fujioka-san." And with that he walked away.
"Call me? Since when do you have this guys number?" he said pulling away from her to look at her face.
"He put it in my phone this morning so we could get together for our project. It's our final term grade so it needs to be perfect."
Hikaru frowned at that. Just how time consuming was this project going to be. Just how much of her time was this guy going to 'borrow.'" Jealousy burned through him at the thought of this guy leering at his girl for hours. He backed her up a few steps until she was pressed against the wall then he pressed his lips roughly to hers.
"Hikaru," she said pushing him away slightly. "Stop, we're in the hall way."
He smirked at the adorable blush that flushed her cheeks and bridge of her nose.
"So what. Who cares about anyone else," he said and pressed another one on her.
Kaoru frowned at his brother's actions. Didn't he care at all about making Haruhi uncomfortable? Hoping to help her he glanced at his watch and elbowed Hikaru in the back. "Let's go, Romeo, class is about to start."
His brother pulled away. The three of them walked toward their next class. Kaoru never really liked math but he didn't mind it now since it was one of the classes the three of them had together. Haruhi was so embarrassed she kept her eyes on the floor not really paying attention to where she was walking. The hallways suddenly flooded with a group of students headed their way. Haruhi got swept away by the crowd. Hikaru turned to his left panicking that she was no longer beside him.
"Gah, where's Haruhi? Where is she? Where is she, Kaoru?" he asked whipping his head in every direction. "Kaoru, where is she?"
"Calm down, Hikaru she just got carried down the hall way a bit. I'm sure she's making her way back as we speak."
"Haruhi." Hikaru pushed through the throng of people ignoring their complaints as he shouldered them aside to get to her. When he did he pulled her in a death grip. "Mmmmm, Haruhi," he sighed as he rocked her back and forth looking about as relieved as Kaoru had ever seen him.
Kaoru frowned. This reminded him of how Hikaru acted when they had been separated for a short time during the bravery contest that Halloweeen in high school. That was three years ago. Kaoru thought Hikaru had done a lot of growing in that time but now he wondered.
One of the biggest reasons he did not pursue Haruhi was so that his brother could expand his world, expand his wings and fly. But now it seems that the only change in Hikaru was that he traded his dependency on him for his dependency on Haruhi.
Looking at her now Kaoru almost gasped out loud. She looked smothered, troubled. How had he not noticed the changes in her since she started dating his brother? Perhaps because he saw her everyday, the changes happening slowly subtly, but there was no denying them now. Her jeans were not as skintight as they used to be indicating that she might have lost a few pounds. That was something the tiny girl couldn't afford to do. Her eyes were sad, there were dark circles under her eyes. They were faint but they were there. And her smile. Her smile was so strained. This time Kaoru did gasp softly. It was the same smile she used when she was enduring Tamaki's unwanted embrace. Was she unhappy with Hikaru? Was he smothering her? He wasn't sure Hikaru's dependency was a good thing for either one of them.
Kaoru wondered when he became so blind to Haruhi's feelings. To her well being. She meant everything to him. He was going to have to start paying closer attention to her. This relationship may not be a good thing, and that was not just his selfish side talking.
A/N (again) This is my first fanfic, so please be nice. As I said not sure if anyone is still reading these but if you are sorry about the slow start I swear it gets better (at least I think so) So stick with me. Any comments would be appreciated. Arigato.
