a/n; ...I have a feeling this'll be more than a oneshot. Tamaki/Kaoru, yep. Yep yep. I know this...KIND of thing is around, but...hey. I like it. I'm not stealing anyone's work, because aha. Totally different take. It's not twincest, woe. ...even though I love twincest. ;; I've been having urges for TamaKao for some reason. There needs to be more fics, anyway. Oh. Ouran not mine, 'course. ...yeah. ENJOY? D:


No one ever expected for the rest of the Club to take the joke seriously. Not even the ringleaders of the said joke would ever think it possible to actually fall for their own prank. The days had grown old, the two had noticed, blue eyes occasionally setting it's sights on golden hued eyes, who would occasionally return the innocent glance. Of course, the blond would look away first, the younger male shortly looking back at his older twin mirror. Smiles would curve on lips, though they merely thought it was pure friendship.

However, when the older of the two produced a plan to the younger, it was an offer he couldn't refuse. It was pure genius, and the younger Hitachiin twin, technically the youngest of the Host Club in all, agreed to Suoh Tamaki's plan. It was evil, genius, and he knew it would also be fun as well. Especially Kaoru's brother's reaction...the idea and visual of such a facial expression that came to the younger's mind made him smile. It would be...interesting to say the least.

So, he was Tamaki's pretend boyfriend for the time. They thought it perfect, for Fujioka Haruhi wouldn't see it coming. Nor would any of the other Host members. They thought it weird that they saw the two talking alone, laughing a little as Tamaki put a hand on Kaoru's shoulder as he laughed. It looked as if they were great friends, from a distance. Though, the toll of the bell for the start of extracurricular activities to ensue woke the others out of their daze, going to their designated sofas and having all of the instant coffee, tea, and sweets prepared for the female guests.

Tamaki blinked, looking at the door as he took a hold of Kaoru's hand, who blushed naturally as he looked at Tamaki. It was the start of the prank of a lifetime, a prank easily not forgotten. A small laugh escaped Kaoru's lips, the younger leaning close to Tamaki, head resting on shoulder as they walked to their designated seats. The members raised eyebrows, Hikaru blinking in utter confusion as he saw the all i too /i friendliness of it all. He took a deep breath, calming himself down as he thought of all the times both Kaoru and himself flirted with Haruhi to make Tamaki jealous. Perhaps the Prince Type was only getting payback.

Though, there were no guests so far inside the Club. They had a few extra minutes to prepare before they opened the doors. So what were the two doing, if not attempting to attract more profits? Making Haruhi and Hikaru jealous? Perhaps so. Ohtori Kyouya noticed such a change in their behavior, blinking and moving his glasses up with index finger. The Shadow King made a mental note of their sudden change, taking note it was probably more of a joke than anything else.

"So, Kaoru, are you still up for..." Tamaki trailed off, letting go of the other's hand as he smiled at the younger, going to sit down on his sofa he usually sat in. Kaoru sat next to him, crossing a leg over as the blond did the infamous movie theater move. Kaoru didn't seem to mind, as the others of the Club watched in confusion, wondering if they just stepped foot onto a corny chick flick set. The doors opened, just as Kaoru gave his answer.

"I wouldn't mind going on a date with you, Tamaki-senpai," he whispered. It was a mere whisper, but everyone in the Third Music Room had heard it. The guests, Renge, and the members. It was a quiet voice, but the silence was so loud it was still audible. The nicer of the twins flushed several shades of scarlet as everyone heard, seeing as only the members of the Club was suppose to hear his agreement to a date. This can't be good.

"...it's settled then! Aha, princesses! W-welcome!" the Prince exclaimed, getting up as he blushed a tad himself. He looked at Kaoru, who looked back, eyes smiling innocently as the younger Hitachiin got up and went to his currently angered brother. The females all blinked, exchanging glances as they either flocked to Tamaki or Kaoru. Hikaru's eye twitched in the slightest as the younger brother blushed even harder, seeing as such a mistake hadn't been planned at all.

The Hosting events either circled around the proposed 'date', and the concept of Suoh and the younger Hitachiin being an item of sorts. Renge wrote every word either uttered, saving it for her magazine she chose to make. The day ended with the two drained, and Hikaru refusing to converse with either of them. Both males sat on the same sofa, Kaoru completely drained after having females bombard him, Tamaki looking as if it happened to him everyday. The younger yawned, leaning his head on Tamaki's shoulder as his eyes closed, the older wrapping an arm around him as he stared at the ceiling.

Kyouya took the opportunity to take a sudden photo of the two, knowing full well the females would go berserk over the raw footage of after-club-activities. The blond and younger redhead didn't even seem to mind, though the same couldn't be said for Hikaru. He sat on a sofa opposite the two, bothered by the fact Kaoru was napping on Tamaki. Of all people, it should have been him, his lovely older twin brother, the dominative of the Brotherly Love Act--! Though, his inner monologue didn't seem to be helping with the idea of his brother going on a date that weekend.

"Tono, wake Kaoru up. Our ride's here," Hikaru whispered sternly, giving secretive hate glares at the Prince Type. It was Friday of all days, and knowing Tamaki, the date would immediately be the next day, seeing as there was no school. The older male put an index finger to his lips to make the other quiet, as to not wake the younger who was actually sleeping, and not faking it. "How is he going to get home, then!?"

"He can spend the night at my place. We have extra rooms," the male quietly stated, still having his arm wrapped around the other. He almost started laughing at the other Hitachiin's reaction, but if he did, he might have suspected it to be a prank. He waved at Hikaru as the other quietly stomped out of the room, if you could even i call /i it quiet, and went to go home. Haruhi raised an eyebrow at the thought of Tamaki having Kaoru at his place, but she never minded it.

"Are you, by any chance, tempting to prank Hikaru, sempai?" the female Host asked, looking at Kaoru as he still slept on the other's shoulder, who didn't seem to mind even after Hikaru left. He made a so-so movement with his hand, blushing a light pink as he moved a hand to play with Kaoru's hair. "What do you mean, so-so?"

"I'm not sure if this is a lie or not. We planned this, yes, but...the guests finding out wasn't intentional...nor was the plan of Kaoru staying the night at my place. Though...he is tired...I'm sure he wouldn't want to put up with Hikaru while being so drained," Tamaki answered, voice still low so the other wouldn't wake up. Mori and Hani smiled and left abruptly, seeing as they had to be going. Tamaki waved back, smiling still as he continued to play with Kaoru's hair. "...it's different, that's all."

"You two have been awfully friendly for a long while, I've noticed. But...maybe you'll figure it out in time, sempai. I have to go to the market, anyway. See you Monday," Haruhi replied, waving at Tamaki and Kyouya, leaving the one room that changed her life for the greater good. Kyouya left shortly afterward, leaving Tamaki awaiting a call from his chauffeur, still letting the younger boy sleep on his shoulder. Shyly, and expertly, he moved to kiss the younger lightly on the forehead, fondly smiling as he sighed.

Not too long later, the older of the two having to keep himself awake, the chauffeur called, Tamaki immediately moving carefully and slowly to pick the sleeping boy up in his arms. The other stirred slightly, but seemed to be in a perfect deep sleep. Tamaki carefully took all of the stairs through Ouran Academy, careful not to lose his grip on the young sixteen year old. He smiled as he got out the school, forgetting completely both of their bags. He'd have someone go get it, anyhow. A few girls almost bombarded the couple, but seeing as Kaoru was asleep, they silently cheered them on.

"And who is this?" the chauffeur asked curiously as Tamaki climbed in, careful not to bump Kaoru's head on anything as he kept his grip on him. He finally got in, almost laughing as the boy remained asleep. The chauffeur still blinked in curiosity at Kaoru, who went back to leaning on the same shoulder he was leaning on in the Third Music Room.

"...my boyfriend," Tamaki whispered, looking at him with a smile, then to the chauffeur. A nod and a 'oh' was made from the other, the male shutting the door with ease. The ride home was flawless, Tamaki a little anxious at the thought of having his 'pretend' boyfriend to stay the night. He honestly wouldn't mind going out on Saturday, seeing as he had nothing to do. Plus, keeping Kaoru by his side longer would be more convincing. The blond sighed, leaning his head against the other boy's head, still having his arm wrapped around him comfortably. He almost fell asleep himself, but when the chauffeur opened the door suddenly, he knew he'd have to wait until it was time to sleep. "Wake up, sleepyhead."

"Huh? ...T-Tamaki? Where are we...?" Kaoru asked groggily, yawning slightly as he rubbed his eyes. The blond got out, offering a hand to the other. The boy blinked in confusion, rubbing his neck as big golden eyes looked at the other. He blushed lightly and took the hand, easing out of the limo. "...how'd we get here?"

"I carried you after you fell asleep. We're at my place. I was...wondering if you'd like to stay the night, and I didn't want to disturb you while you were sleeping," the other rambled, blushing as he gave his excuse for taking Kaoru back to his place. A warm smile was given, the younger laughing lightly as he stretched a bit.

"Well, seems like there's no turning back now, ne? I wouldn't mind anyway. We can plan more things and our date tomo-...I-I mean our 'fake' date!" Kaoru replied, blushing scarlet as he stumbled over words. Tamaki laughed nervously, looking at the chauffeur who raised an eyebrow at them. The blond sighed, not noticing he still had his hand in Kaoru's, after he helped him out the limo. Oi, why did I even say that? Before he knew it, he found himself being dragged, looking up only to see the back of the blond's head. He smiled, letting his blush die down to a pink tinge, following the other as servants opened the doors to the Suoh mansion.

The maids raised questioning eyebrows as Tamaki looked over his shoulder, smiling at the Freshman, who smiled back as he walked up the stairs. They shrugged their shoulders, dismissing Kaoru as a close friend. When they asked the chauffeur who he was, and getting the response as 'Young Master's boyfriend', there was a quiet uproar, the females astounded that the male would keep such a secret from them.

"So, this is your room, Tono?" Kaoru asked, looking around as the two finally let go of hand's. It was spacious, he had to admit, large and...a tad bit bigger than the twin's joint room. Even the i bed /i was a bit bigger than theirs. He sat on Tamaki's bed, looking around as he kicked off his shoes. The older male nodded, taking his blazer and shoes off as well, stretching and going to sit down to take his tie off. "It's nice. Really nice."

"Ah, thanks. Kaoru...?"

"Yeah?"

"...can you help me with this tie?" Tamaki asked, blushing out of embarrassment from not being able to get it off. Kaoru laughed a little, turning his body to face the other. His delicate hands started to work on the tie, Kaoru shaking his head as he sighed.

"Really, it's easy," the boy replied, moving it around to loosen it up. He kept his eyes focused on the tie, but when the blond tilted his head up by the chin, Kaoru couldn't help but blink in confusion. He was almost done untying it, and suddenly he wanted his attention? "...yes, Tono?"

The other didn't answer his question, seeing as he moved to kiss him gently on the lips. The boy still had a hold on his tie, blinking in confusion at the meeting of soft lips. He gave in, however, and kissed back, not sure what he was doing as he let the other kiss him. It was an innocent kiss, right? No harm done. However, when Tamaki started doing i that /i with his tongue, he couldn't help but give a soft groan in approval.

Though, there was a downfall. Humans i did /i need air, anyway. The younger of the two, blushed a bright red, sheepishly looking over at the other who blushed himself. Clearing his throat, Kaoru went back to finish untying the other's tie, laughing a little as he looked at the other. "S-so...where am I going to sleep tonight?"

"With me."
