Hikaru groaned as he watched the time tick by ever so slowly. Enough algebra already! When will the bell ring? His eyes scanned across the room. First to the class president passing notes to the girl he likes, then to Haruhi taking notes like she always does.
And then his gaze fell onto Kaoru, dozing off with his head rested in his hand. His bangs slightly covered his eyelids and his cheeks looked plump when pressed against his palm. Hikaru stared out of the corner of his eyes as his twin's cheeks puffed a bit with each breath he took. Damn, Kaoru. Why do you always look so cute when you're asleep? I want to hold your sleeping body in my arms where you're most comfortable. If only this class could be over by now.
Finally his silent prayers were answered, the school bell went off and class had ended. He jumped up, stretching his arms over his head. Looking over, he saw his brother was still nodded off.
"Wakey-wakey, Kaoru!" he chuckled as he shook him.
"I'm up, I'm up," Kaoru mumbled annoyed.
"You fell asleep again?" Haruhi sighed, shaking her head, "Don't think I'm letting you guys copy my notes this time."
"Aw, no fair!" Hikaru chuckled, "Hey Kaoru, ready to head to the music room?"
"Just a sec. Let me get my stuff first," his twin brother answered as he opened his desk and pulled out his textbooks. Just then an envelope slipped out and fell to the floor. A letter? But when he picked it up, he saw it was addressed to his brother, Hikaru. On the back was a dusty rose kiss stain. Oh boy, it must be another confession note...
"Kaoru, let's go!" he called from the doorway, interrupting his thoughts.
"Ah, coming!"
•••
"Wow, Hikaru. You're such a devoted brother," one of the ladies sighed after hearing a tale of the twins's childhood.
"I have to, Kaoru has always been one to feel left out." Kaoru pouted and blushed at Hikaru.
"Hikaru! Don't exaggerate so much! I could handle being left alone for a while."
"I know," he said in a sultry voice, pulling Kaoru closer, "but I don't want you to."
High-pitched screams filled the room when they performed their brotherly act, but deep down the twins truly did love each other that much. Who else understood the way Kaoru felt like Hikaru does? And who else could calm down a bad-tempered Hikaru the way Kaoru can?
"Time's up, ladies." Kyouya announced. The girls said their goodbyes to their requested hosts and walked out the doors, leaving only the members host club in the room. Haruhi went over to Honey and Mori's table for tea while Tamaki and Kyouya stood by the open window discussing plans for future club events.
"At last," Hikaru sighed in relief as he sat back, "I thought they'd never leave!"
Tamaki smacked him on the back of his head.
"Hey! What was that for?!"
"That's no way to talk about our guests! As a host, you must enjoy the company of such beautiful ladies and engage in conversation. A true host would com..." The blonde rambled on, unaware that the twins were no longer listening.
"Like I would ever go through all that trouble for these girls," Hikaru scoffed. He reached into his bag and pulled out the commoner snacks they got with Haruhi the other day.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Someone left this for you in my desk." Kaoru showed the letter to his brother.
"Can you read for me?" He asked as he tried to open a package of sweet bread with his teeth.
Kaoru rolled his eyes, but ran his finger across the flap anyway. When it opens, a puff of white dust emitted from the envelope. This caught everyone's attention.
"What was that?" Hikaru asked annoyed. What kind of girl puts powder in a love letter? Kyouya suddenly dropped his record book and ran to the door, locking it.
"Kyouya-sempai?" Haruhi asked, "what's going on?"
But the host in glasses didn't answer, instead he pulled out his cell and dialed the number.
"Hello? This is Kyouya Ootori, son of the CEO of the Ootori Group. This is a code red 18776; please send help. I believe there has been an anthrax attack at Ouran Academy."
