Okay, I know this is short, but it's the first one I'm doing for this category. I hope you like it!
"Silence:
Chapter One;
Lonesome"
Walking through the halls of Ouran High, one of our favorite mischievous twins walked on, moping. Said Hitachiien twin was none other than the caring and rather selfless Hitachiien Kaoru; face pouting, head down, and back slumped as he took heavy steps through the halls of the school.
The uke in the Brotherly Love Package of the Ouran High School Host Club finally stopped; staring out a window on the second floor. Looking down on the grounds below, he caught sight of his brother, Hikaru; arm over the shoulder of none other than their cross-dressing host, Haruhi Fujioka; whom of which, said older twin had been dating for almost four months now.
Now don't get the guy wrong, he was happy for his brother. He was quite happy that Hikaru had found someone he could be open with; happier to see that he was having such a good time. But, one thing that Kaoru wouldn't admit-not even to himself-was that deep down inside...he envied his twin brother.
Walking away so as to try and rid himself of the view, Kaoru had tried his best to force himself to forget his sadness and get into character, seeing as how the club was supposed to open in about fifteen minutes. However, it was difficult. The younger twin couldn't help but find it this way, seeing as how much happier his brother was.
Making it up to the music room, Kaoru entered the room and to be greeted by the only member who ever arrived early. The Shadow King himself was sitting at a table, typing away at the countless calculations he had made to balance out the club's budget. The quiet yet disturbing presence was, surprisingly, pleasant for a change. Kyoya wasn't one to pry unless he was curious, and he already knew why Kaoru was upset, despite the first year never being asked. He was thankful for that; Kyoya knew that Kaoru wanted Hikaru to spend some time with other people so he wouldn't be lonely-especially with Haruhi-Kaoru just felt a bit lonely after words.
"Instead of sulking over the fact that your brother is getting more of a life Kaoru, why don't you go an make one for yourself?" Kyoya asked him, catching the latter off guard. Kaoru turned and saw Kyoya's face was still planted in his laptop; his glasses shimmering from the light it provided. Sensing that the pink-head wouldn't respond to his question, he continued. "Hikaru is opening up to someone else and is spending a lot of time away from you. I know you're still adjusting to the change, Kaoru, but I think it's time that you find someone else to be with, also; don't let Hikaru's new found happiness make you depressed." He finished; gathering his laptop as the other members came in.
Business in the club went about as usual; the brothers continued their yaoi-inscest act that didn't fail to get the girls screaming, and the rest was pretty much the same. At the end of the day, after getting Tamaki to leave them alone, Hikaru and Haruhi left for another date, Tamaki went crying to Kyoya, and the others went home.
Instead of leaving after Tamaki, like Kaoru normally did whenever his brother went on dates with his girlfriend (which was almost daily, now), he stayed behind with Kyoya. The man did a bit of finances for the club while Kaoru spent his time doing his homework, like he normally did on days like today. The only difference being, he normally went home first. He didn't know if it was Kyoya's comment earlier, or if it was the fact he felt more relaxed around the Shadow King, but Kaoru wanted to stay behind because...well, Kyoya understood how he was feeling, for lack of a better reason.
Kaoru finished and when he did, Kyoya began to pack up. Kaoru didn't pack at a speedy pace, or at a regular one. He was less than willing to go back to the house he knew his brother wasn't in, yet. So, as Kyoya walked by him, Kaoru didn't bother to look up at the set of concerned eyes sent his way. Kyoya sighed, and said: "I hope you find something happier in life, Koaru." And with that, Kyoya left.
Sighing, Kaoru continued to get his stuff together, leaving a good five to ten minutes after the ebony left him. He shut the door to the music room and made his way down the steps in a slow manner; ignoring his surroundings and just wanting the day to be over. He didn't hear the voices around him, and he barely registered something hitting his head, hard.
And with that, darkness consumed him.
First time with Ouran, so...yeah, wish me luck here! :)
