A/U: I'd like to know what you think, so Reviews are appreciated :D~! *^*
Ch.1
The warm morning sunlight streamed through the tall glass windows, into a large bedroom enveloping a large king sized bed where two sixteen year old twin boys slept. They slept as they always did, together. The older of the two, Hikaru, slowly opened his eyes, conscious of their still connected hands he stayed motionless, just looking at his twin brother's identical face with a slight smile. His mind reverted back to their childhood; ever since they could remember, they had a special bond which turned with age into something a tad more physical. Nevertheless, their bond was unbreakable, never-ending, and most precious to them. With his free hand, he carefully raised it as to not make any noise or sudden movements that would cause the other to awake, and lovingly caressed Kaoru's face. Some would think that they must be extremely vain, or have some kind of mental illness, being identical and having physical contact beyond that of normal brothers. But the twins knew that what they had didn't stem from stupid reasons such as those.
It was special.
But more than that... It was real.
It wasn't some fake relationship that would last as long as the other person wanted to be together. Hikaru and Kaoru knew each other as well as they knew themselves. Knowing that, they knew that there would be no betrayal.
Hikaru stared at Kaoru's face feeling his under his hand, for what seemed like ages. After a while, a small smile formed on the younger twin's face; opening his eyes, he reached up with his unoccupied hand putting it on top of the hand on his face. He snuggled closer to Hikaru, closing the distance between them surprisingly fast and softly placed a sweet kiss upon his lips. They shifted so that Kaoru\s head was nestled in Hikaru's neck and both their hands enfolded the others'. Peacefully, they floated back into unconsciousness, bathing in the heat of the other. They awoke by the quick rapping noise coming from their bedroom door. They casually sat up in time to see the black haired twin maid girls coming in.
"Young masters, it's time to get ready for school", they said blandly after bowing and walked out. Hikaru glanced at the purple clock on their bedside table, it was indeed time to get ready; it was 8am and school began at 9am, although today was a late start and started at 10am, they had a meeting that morning. They got dressed and ready as they did everyday, jauntily walking out the front door 40 minutes later. Hikaru got into the back of their private car, Kaoru sat beside him closing the door behind him. They were on their way to the clubroom when they met Kyoya who was holding a book from the school library.
"Sempai, what's with the book?" Kaoru asked curiously, glancing at the book in question. The cover read "Sherlock Holmes". "I thought you didn't like reading mystery genre books."
Kyoya pushed his glasses up with his index fingers smiling. "I thought that Tamaki may be interested in it."
The twins looked at each other with raised eyebrows, but didn't say anything. Some things are better left unsaid.
They reached the clubroom a few minutes later, where the rest of the club members sat on the sofas with Hunny carrying over a tea set. "Hey, you guys! You're just in time." Tamaki greeted them.
"We've decided that this season's special theme day is going to be on June 6th, because June is the 6th month. Clever, eh?"
Hikaru and Kaoru sat on the empty seats next to where Kyoya sat.
"Sure, boss." Hikaru said with a smile, "so has the theme been picked yet?"
"We'll think of one in time," he replied with a wave of his hand. It was 10 minutes before 10am, they soon had to leave. Since Hikaru, Kaoru, and Haruhi had the same classes as each other, they often went together. But today Kaoru excused himself, saying he had to go to the bathroom and that he'd catch up with them. So this predicament left Haruhi and Hikaru alone – which wasn't necessarily a bad thing – it just meant that it was a tad bit quieter than it would have been with Kaoru's presence. Nevertheless, Hikaru managed to make conversation when they reached their seats ten minutes to spare.
"Did you finish your English essay yet?"
"Yeah, I mean it is due the day after tomorrow. How about you?" she asked, taking out her pencil case, notebooks, and English textbook from her bad and onto the desk.
"Not quite, I'm almost done though," he replied dismissively, glancing at the classroom clock. It was now two minutes before class started. Where is Kaoru? He wondered. It wasn't like him to be tardy. At ten after ten, Kaoru rushed into his seat beside Hikaru's breathless, one minute before their homeroom teacher walked in.
"Good morning everyone, sorry I'm late", said Ms. Jones guiltily with a light chuckle.
"So don't forget about your essay that's due in two days. Now, get in groups of two or three, and discuss the character analysis of Bill."
Hikaru and Kaoru dragged their chairs over to Haruhi's desk, the three of them automatically grouped together when groups were necessary. Kaoru didn't mention anything about why he was late, this didn't bother Hikaru, but he was a bit curious, so he decided to give him a little push.
"Why did you take so long coming back?"
"Well, I ran into a teacher and just got talking", he responded rather slowly, which was kind of strange.
After their english class, it was time for lunch. As they sat down at an empty table in the cafeteria, it seemed that Kaoru caught sight of someone motioning at him, as he got up and excused himself. Hikaru caught his wrist as he turned to go.
"Huh? Wait, where are you going?" he asked surprised. This wasn't like him at all, to randomly go somewhere without saying anything as much as an explanation.
"Oh, er, I promised someone that I'd help someone in math, see you in history!" With that, he rushed out of their view, exiting the cafeteria.
He was definately behaving strangely.
Hikaru stared after him for a moment before turning to Haruhi.
"Do you have any ideas of a theme for the club?" he asked, taking a bite of his ordered deluxe lunch. The deluxe lunch was today's special, not to mention it consisted of some of Kaoru's favorite food. Not that he was a glutton or anything, but it just wasn't natural for him to ... leave. Hikaru blinked hard, he was obsessing. Trust was a fundamental part of their relationship, was it not?
"Not really, although as a backup plan, we could always do something like animal ears or something", Haruhi replied thoughtfully eating her usual home packed lunch.
Animal ears, eh? He thought, he couldn't really imagine any of them with-…
"Hey, you two!" Hunny greeted them airily, landing on the seat across from them along with Mori who slid on next to him.
"Where's Kao-chan?" Hmm… He could pull it off.
"He said that he had to go help someone with math," he told them after he finished swallowing with a hint of uncertainty. He left the rest of his lunch untouched, not having much of an appetite. He frowned slightly, thinking it through more and more, Hikaru knew that something had to be up.
"Hmm, I see, that's nice of him. So… is there something on your mind that's bothering you?" Hunny asked sincerely, meeting his eyes. His demeanor always appeared to be that of a child, but he was more perceptive than most people gave him credit for. Hikaru softened his expression and gave a soft smile and that that it was nothing. He decided to change the subject.
"Haruhi and I were talking about the theme for this month. She suggested that as a backup plan, we could put on animal ears." He laughed.
Hunny's eyes gleamed at this; he was struck by the idea of something that would blend well with his set style. He chuckled deviously, his face obscured momentarily by his bangs.
"Ni-ice thinking, Haru-chan!" He exclaimed excitedly, snapping his fingers. "That's some great thinking! Takashi, let's find Tama-chan. See you guys later at club!"
The blonde haired fighting master jumped from his seat and ran out of the cafeteria with Mori trailing after behind him like a loyal dog. Haruhi looked meekly after him then laughed lightly.
"I wonder if that's how his personality actually is like. The more I see him, the more I realize how he only looks like a kid." She paused taking a bite of her lunch, "But knowing the truth about someone is better than having a false image of them; change is something that is unstoppable."
Yeah… Yes, that's true. He thought, staring at his half-eaten lunch with a look of explained sadness.
