The Twins' Story

Chapter 1

-----------------------------------------------------

"Hikaru… Hikaru, your phone's ringing!!'' Kaoru mumbled, feebly pushing his brother's shoulder.

"Hmm? So? Just let it ring…" Hikaru told him sleepily.

"But it's annoying... and it's Tamaki's ringtone, so it'll ring until you answer."

"Ok, ok." Hikaru grumbled and picked up the phone. "Yes? Hikaru speaking?"

"Hikaru!" a hysterical voice screamed out of the phone. "You and Kaoru have to change and get over here right now!! It's important!!"

"What happened?" Hikaru asked wearily.

"It's about Haruhi! Just come over!!" Tamaki shouted and hung up.

"What is it?" Kaoru asked when his brother jumped out of bed and started changing.

"Something's wrong with Haruhi!!"

"Haruhi?" He also got up and went to his closet. "Ah! Hikaru! Your highlights!"

"What about them?"

"Well,… it looks like you have blonde hair with brown highlights, not the other way around…," Kaoru told him, making a face.

"WHAT?!" Hikaru exclaimed, eyes wide, rushing to the mirror. "Damn! I am blonde! The idiotic barber used too much color!!"

"Hikaru! Brushing your hair over and over again isn't going to make them disappear! And Tamaki is waiting!" Kaoru said exasperated, as his brother frantically brushed his hair.

"Who cares?! … it looks horrible!"

"It looks great, so stop bellyaching and get dressed!!"

When the Twins finally arrived at Tamaki's house, he was waiting for them at the door.

"She disappeared!!! She's not at home, not at school-," Tamaki yelled as they approached.

"Ehh… We're on summer vacation!" interrupted Hikaru.

"I know that! But who knows what poor people do during their vacations!! Ehh… Hikaru your hair…"

"I know, I KNOW!! Don't talk about it! I'm trying to forget about it and not look into a mirror!"

"Wait! Didn't she say that she would be working at a pension in Hokkaido?" Kaoru suddenly said.

Hikaru and Tamaki looked at him.

"What?! What pension?! How do you know?!"

"She told us. The Ouran Pension!" he reminded them.

Tamaki said nothing, suddenly grabbing the twins and dragging them to the nearest car.

"Driver! To the Ouran Pension in Hokkaido!! Fast!!"

Hikaru's hair was forgotten…

-----------------------------------------------------

2 hours later

"Wow! What a creepy, little pension!" Kaoru said blankly. He was really bored by the whole situation.

"Eeeh! Tamaki-senpai? Hikaru, Kaoru! What are you doing here?" Haruhi asked, coming out of the house holding a laundry basket.

"Haruhi!!" Tamaki said, throwing his arms around her with watery eyes. "I thought you had disappeared!!" he cried.

"Senpai…" Haruhi said, trying to calm him down. "I told you that I'd be working here."

"Papa was so worried!!" he continued.

"That's it!! I've told you, I'm very happy with my own father so stop with all this 'papa' business!" she told him, frowning. "I ask again, what are you doing here?"

"Tamaki dragged us here to check that you were alright," the twins told her at the same time.

"Hikaru… your-," Haruhi started before Kaoru put a hand over her mouth.

"Don't say anything," he told her, pointing at his brother who was trying to pull out his hair.

"Yeah, well… You want a room?" she sighed.

Tamaki's eyes became big.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!!!" he said excitedly.

"Okay! Kaoru? Hikaru?"

"Fine… why not?" Kaoru shrugged, holding Hikaru's hand, unsure about his brother's sanity at the moment.

"Sora-san! These three gentlemen want rooms!" She shouted over her shoulder.

A woman appeared at the front door.

"Oh! What cuties! Please, please! Come in, come in! What handsome young men! You, Blondie, your hair is great! But I have to tell you, I only have two rooms left!"

"That's alright! Kaoru and I can share a room," Hikaru said, smiling at Sora-san.

"Lovely!" she answered.

"Sure… you believe her when she tells you your hair is nice, but you don't believe me!" Kaoru whispered into his brother's ear, pinching him.

"Ah! Boys, could you help me a bit with tidying up? I'm so busy and you're such gentlemen." Sora-san asked with a honey sweet voice.

"Ehh…" Hikaru wanted to reject, but Tamaki interrupted him. "Yes, of course! Of course we'll help you!!"

-----------------------------------------------------

Hikaru sighed, closing their door. "What a day! And now we have to stay here. All because of Tamaki!"

"Yeah… But it is kind of nice here. Small, … but nice."

"We had to tidy up the WHOLE pension. Anyway, it's getting a little late! We should probably get to sleep."

"Yeah," Kaoru agreed, going over to the bed Hikaru was already lying on and settled down next to him. Hikaru put his arm around Kaoru, the two of them falling asleep instantly.

-----------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Kaoru went down for breakfast … alone. Try as he might, he hadn't been able to wake Hikaru up. He had walked down the stairs half expecting Tamaki to be harassing Haruhi. But he wasn't there either.

"Haruhi? I thought there were only two rooms left. Where are all the other guests?" he asked, rubbing lingering sleep from his eyes.

"It's such a nice morning; most of them went out for a walk. The others are still sleeping or are eating out on the terrace," she informed him. "You're alone?"

"Yeah. Hikaru wouldn't wake up and I was hungry, so I came down ahead of him," he said, a little awkwardly. He wasn't used to not having Hikaru by his side.

"It's rare to see you apart. You really are always together, aren't you?" she said with a smile.

He smiled warmly at the comment, following her outside.

"Yeah. We were born together and I really love him… as a brother of course!" he added hurriedly. "You know… I'm not gay or anything!!"

"I never said that," she said, smiling slightly at his discomfort. He grinned back at her.

They suddenly heard a surprised yelp and looked up. A flower vase was about to fall out of the window.

"Watch out!" Kaoru shouted, grabbing Haruhi and pushing her out of the way. The vase fell, shattering next to them.

"Kaoru! Haruhi!" Hikaru ran over to them, kneeling down. "Are you alright?!" he asked worriedly.

"I'm fine but I don't know about … Kaoru! You're cheek!! It's bleeding!!" Haruhi grabbed his arm.

"Hmm? It's nothing… it's just-," Kaoru brought his hand up to his face and stopped mid-sentence when he saw his fingertips painted with- "Oh… damn… blood!"

He fainted.

"Kaoru!! Wake up, damn it!!" Hikaru ordered, standing over his twin.

"OW!" Kaoru woke with a start, his uncut cheek also stinging. "You slapped me!!"

He looked at his brother with big eyes. They were alone in their room. Tears pooled in Hikaru's eyes and he hugged Kaoru, resting his head on his twin's shoulder.

"Don't you dare scare me like that ever again, idiot!!" Hikaru growled, trying to hide the sobs in his voice.

"Hikaru… I'm fine. Don't worry," Kaoru told him gently with a comforting smile, hugging him back.

"Why did you look! You know you can't stand the sight of blood!!" Hikaru admonished.

"I'm sorry… But I'm okay. Really!" Hikaru nodded, but didn't release him. "Are you crying?"

Kaoru gently laid a hand on his brother's back. Hikaru shook his head, but wouldn't show him his face. The moment the vase had fallen towards his brother, he could have sworn his heart had stopped.

"Is Haruhi alright?"

"Not a scratch," Hikaru answered dryly.

"Hikaru… you'll strangle me," Kaoru said, trying to push his brother away, but Hikaru held on tighther.

"Let me stay like this… Just a few more seconds…" Hikaru whispered.

"How can I refuse?" Kaoru smiled and hugged him back. "Can you stop trembling? It makes me nervous."

"I was so scared! Why the hell did you have to go and play the hero?!" Hikaru was shaking and, when he looked, he saw that Kaoru's face was full of tears. "What would I have done if the damn vase had hit you?! I'm lost without you!!"

Without thinking, Hikaru laid his lips on Kaoru's. Before he knew what was happening, Kaoru was returning the kiss. What started as an innocent little kiss soon became something else. The kiss became harder, their bodies more desperate. Both of them lead on by feelings they didn't know.

Footsteps sounded, drawing nearer to the room and the boys pushed away from each other. Half a second later, Haruhi opened the door and walked in, too worried to notice that the twins were looking embarrassed at the floor.

"Kaoru! Are you alright?!" she asked worriedly, seeing that he had woken up.

Kaoru forced himself to a smile.

"Everything's fine," he assured her, leering at his brother.

"Didn't you faint?" she asked, skeptical.

"That always happens, when I see blood." he told her, a little embarrassed by his weakness.

"I'm relieved!" she said. "I'll bring you something to eat. You must be starving!"

"Haruhi, wait! I'll go with you!!" Hikaru said, standing up fast and following her out.

Kaoru looked after them, confusedly laying a finger on his lips.

'What the hell was that?' he asked himself, falling back on his bed.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Ne… Hikaru? Is everything alright?" Haruhi asked the twin silently following her.

"Yes, yes!! It's nothing!" he assured her quickly.

"Are you sure… You look a bit down… Kaoru is-"

"Haruhi! Can I kiss you?" he asked suddenly.

Haruhi stopped walking and looked at Hikaru with big eyes. "What?!"

"No… uh… just as an experiment, nothing serious! Besides, it's not like it's your fist kiss."

"An experiment? If it will help you… I guess it's alright," she said, a little reluctantly.

"It will!" he told her.

Haruhi shrugged and Hikaru leaned towards her.

When he kissed her, he felt… nothing. It was like kissing his sister. With Kaoru, it hadn't felt brotherly at all!!

He pressed a hand on his mouth and looked at Haruhi questioningly.

"Thanks…"he said quietly and walked away.

"Weird guy…" Haruhi shrugged again and went to the kitchen.

On his way back, Hikaru bumped into Tamaki.

"I saw it," Tamaki's face had a rare serious look.

"You saw what?" Hikaru asked cautiously.

"The kiss!" Tamaki practically shouted, causing Hikaru to wince.

"Kiss? What kiss?!" he asked, slightly panicked.

"You kissed Haruhi!!" Tamaki wailed, waterfalls of tears flowing down his face.

"Oh, that kiss. Damn! Don't scare me like that!!" Hikaru said, angrily pushing him out of the way.

"What's with him?" Tamaki asked himself, watching the older twin walk away and massaging his shoulder.

-----------------------------------------------------

In his room, Kaoru was thinking about what he was feeling.

Hikaru may not have known it, but this had been his first kiss. It was strange but it definitely hadn't been a brotherly kiss, and he didn't know what to think about it. "Aaah!! This is so confusing!!" he shouted, running a hand through his hair. "I have to talk to him!"

Without realizing where he was going, Hikaru was suddenly standing in front of his and Kaoru's room. The moment he was about to run away, the door opened and Kaoru came out.

"Eeh… I have to go-"stuttered Hikaru, before being cut off.

"Hikaru!" Kaoru said, grabbing his arm and dragging him into the room. "We have to talk."

"About what?"

"About this!" he said, pushing Hikaru against the door and kissing him. Hikaru tried to push him off before passionately returning the kiss a few seconds later. "You see, we have to talk!"

Kaoru went to his bed and sat down. Hikaru sat down next to him wearing a defeated look.

"I… I'm sorry! This is all was my fault. I'll never do it again and I…"

"Shut up! It's not just about the kiss!," Kaoru shouted angrily. "We both know that this isn't normal! I mean: we are both guys… and were brothers! TWINS!!"

"It's not that serious…"

"It IS serious!!" Kaoru shouted and stood up. "You want to know something?! That was my first kiss!!"

Slowly Hikaru stood up as well. "You mean… your first kiss?!"

"Yes! So What?" Kaoru blushed and looked down embarrassed.

"Really your first first kiss? The first?!"

"Are you making fun of me or something?!" Kaoru asked angrily.

"No! No… it's just… you surprised me! What about Nana-chan or the Sawatari twins?"

"I lied. You were always so excited when you kissed a girl and I didn't want you to know that I'd never had a kiss before, so …" Kaoru's face was really red now.

"Your first kiss… I ruined your first kiss…"

"No! That's not true, I-" Kaoru started before cutting himself off, shocked by what he had been about to say. He winced. "Eeh… I mean… eeh… it's okay… okay, yes…"

"Kaoru? Are you alright?" Hikaru asked carefully.

"No I'm not!! There isn't anything alright with me because, right now, I really want to kiss you again!!" he cried out, tears flowing down his face, his hands fisted. "It's just not normal!!"

Hikaru slowly moved towards his trembling brother. When Kaoru realized what he was doing, he winced away from him. "Hikaru, no…"

"Can't you let us not be normal?" Hikaru asked, moving closer. "Let us be strange, Kaoru."

Hikaru took Kaoru's face into his hands and kissed him. Soft and Slowly. He put his arms around Kaoru and pulled him to his chest.

"Kaoru! You're breakfast! Eeh?" Haruhi said, dropping her jaw at the sight in front of her.

Kaoru and Hikaru broke apart. They looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

"H… Haruhi… Yo…" Hikaru said and grinned, Kaoru was trying not to laugh.

"You… you guys were kissing…"she said weakly. Hikaru went over to her and took her tray away because it was trembling dangerously.

"Umm… yes," Kaoru said slowly.

"Aha… And… how long has this been going on between you?" she said, sitting down afraid of fainting.

"Since umm… this morning…" Hikaru said in the same slow way as his brother.

"And it's not some act for the Host Club??" she asked.

"No… it's real… I think…"

"Of course it's real!!" Hikaru said as he angrily stood up.

"I didn't mean it like that …"

"Yeah… sure!"

"Hikaru! I told YOU that it was something serious, because you said it was your FAULT!!"

"BOYS! Shut up! This is serious and I understand that, okay?! But how did this happen? Wait! Why did you kiss me?!"

"You kissed her?!" Kaoru asked, now angry as well.

"Just to see what I would feel!" Hikaru defended himself.

"Why did you have to kiss her for that?"

"Because I wasn't sure about what I felt with you," he answered red-faced out of anger and shame.

Kaoru blushed, too.

"And? What did you feel?"

"Nothing… No offense Haruhi, but it was like kissing my sister."

"It's okay, but you do realize Kaoru is your brother? Wouldn't it technically feel the same?" she asked.

"Does this look brotherly to you?!" Hikaru asked her, pulling Kaoru's mouth to his and kissing him until they were both breathless.

"So?" Hikaru asked as Haruhi stayed silent.

"Well… no. It doesn't… ironically…"

"Haruhi darling, where are you?!" They heard Sora-san calling.

"I have to go," she said, looking towards the door. She turned back towards them and smiled. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Thanks…," they said at the same time.

"No problem."

When Haruhi left, Kaoru hugged his brother from behind. "You really felt nothing?"

"Guess…" Hikaru said, turning around with a sly smile and pushing Kaoru on the bed, laying himself on top of him.

"Nothing?" Kaoru asked, just to make sure.

"Nothing!"

"Then kiss me…"

"I'd like nothing more than that!"

-----------------------------------------------------

Kaoru woke up because he had to sneeze. Opening his eyes, he noticed that he was lying on the floor.

"Hikaru!!!"

"Hmm…?"

"You pushed me off the bed!" Kaoru shouted, throwing his pillow at his brother.

"Hey!!" Hikaru protested.

"You pushed me off, jerk!!" Kaoru said again before jumping on him. "I have a cold now! Thanks a lot!"

A mischievous smile appeared on Hikaru's face. "You know… kissing can help colds..."

He pulled him to his chest, showing him what he meant.

"Hikaru… Stop!" Kaoru said, already breathless, trying to get Hikaru off him.

"Why?" the elder asked, trying to kiss him again but deterred in his actions by Kaoru's hand on his mouth.

"Wait! 3…2…1," Kaoru counted down quietly.

The door opened, or rather the door slammed open.

"Hikaru!!! Explain the kiss!" Tamaki ordered as he ran in and stood in front of them, raging like a bull.

"Because…" Kaoru answered, whispering into his brother's ear and running his finger down his chest.

His brother shivered and Kaoru stood up, excusing himself to the bathroom, leaving an excited twin behind.

"Bastard…" Hikaru muttered with a cocky grin on his face.

"Hikaru?! What's with you?! You look like you just slept with the hottest girl in the country," Tamaki said, examining the older twin.

Hikaru blushed at Tamaki's words and stood up. "Shut up." he muttered seeming slightly amused.

"Explain!"

"It didn't mean anything!"

"W-what! No meaning?!" Tamaki gasped. "What do you mean by it didn't mean anything?!"

"Exactly that," he said, starting to push Tamaki towards the door.

"B-but…You kissed her! How can it not have a meaning!!" he asked, trying resisting Hikaru's insistent shoves.

"My dirty little secret, dirty little secret!" Hikaru sang, finally getting him out of the room and shutting the door in his face.

"Asshole!" Tamaki shouted and left.

-----------------------------------------------------

Kaoru reached to take the shower head but instead found his hand closing on air. His eyes were shut, because of the shampoo, but he had an idea of what had happened.

"Hikaru!!" he reprimanded angrily as heard a mocking laugh from his brother.

"You want it? Then come get it!" Hikaru teased.

"Hikaru! Thanks to you I already have a cold and now I'm freezing, too!!" he pouted.

"I have a way to counter the freezing," Hikaru cheekily, getting into the shower and lifting Kaoru's chin with his hand.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing special. Just don't move, Kaoru!"

"Hikaru, you…" he started but was cut off as Hikaru closed his mouth with a passionate kiss.

When the kiss stopped, the two of them had to breath heavy. Before Hikaru could start again, Kaoru laid his forehead against his brother's shoulder.

"I still can't see anything, but now I'm to hot for a shower," he sighed.

"What makes you say that?" Hikaru asked, turning the water to its coldest. He laughed as his brother tensed and started to rinse out his hair.

"You can open your eyes now, Ototo," he grinned and kissed him briefly.

Hikaru then left, too contented to notice that tears were running down his brother's face mixed with the shower water, too satisfied to realize that his brother's body was no longer trembling from the cold water and to happy to notice that his eyes were shining sadly.

'That's right… I'm his brother' Kaoru thought, sinking against the wall. 'What's happening to me? These feelings aren't normal! I'm not normal!!'

He angrily wiped the tears off his face and got out of the shower. He dressed quickly and left the room without being seen.

He had to be alone to think about the whole situation.
