He looked at me, and I smiled. He returned the identical notion.

"Ready for today, Kaoru?" he sang happily. I nodded.

"Did you know today's the first day of fall, Hikaru?" I said, mainly just to have something to say. An excuse to hear his voice again.

"Of course," He took my hand habitually, and led me down the stairs from our bedroom. I liked it whenever he did this.

We got to our car and Hikaru drove today. In curiousity, I asked, "So, what's our act today?" I tried to take advantage of the twin connection and get some idea of what he was thinking, but I couldn't. He was blocking me out.

"So anxious, Kaoru~ You'll see," I glared at him out of the corner of my eye. "It's just can act," He grinned devilishly.

I felt my cheeks flush and I turned away to the window. I couldn't let Hikaru see me like this.

Because...Because, well, maybe to him it was just an act; simply to entertain the girls at the Host Club. But to me, it was so much more than that. It was an opportunity where I could show Hikaru how I truly felt (even if he never got the message.) It was a time that I could give into his embrace and his golden eyes.

But, really, I wondered why I even felt this way. I told myself it was because he was all I'd ever had for so long. Now that we had Tamaki, Kyouya, Mori, Hunny, and even adorable Haruhi, this didn't change. So, I don't know why I was...was so in love with my brother.

As the scenery outside changed to the familiarity of the Ouran grounds, I turned and stole a glance at him.

His hair was shinier and softer to the touch, his eyelashes were longer, and his eyes had a shine that only his could. He was stronger than me too. I sighed. What chance did I have? He was my brother, for God's sadke. How wrong IS that? I could never tell him. Even if I had been tortured for two years now. Whenever I realized that maybe this was in fact a fatal attraction.

The car stopped. I opned the door. I stepped out.

Simple as that.

"Hello, Haruhi," Hikaru said and I turned to see the short brunnette beside us. She smiled cutely.

"Hey guys. Did you have a good weekend?" She asked us as we walked into our first hour class.

"Absolutely," We said in unison and took our seats on opposite sides of the disguised girl.

Class started and I took my notes apathetically. I saw a shift in my peripheral vision to see him looking at her out of his peripheral vision. I sighed.

I was his brother. He should pay more attention to me. Not her. I mean, she was cute. But...I should've meant more to him than her.

I guess he felt my change of mood because he looked up to me and smiled.

I smiled back, but he probably knew I faked it.

The bell rang, and for the first time I didn't walk with Hikaru out of class.
