DISCLAIMER: We have no claimers for Ouran…

^_^ Hey everyone! This is the first story that we decided on!

Yeah, so you better like it! *glares*

Cinder…

…^^ Just kidding. If it sucks, just say so! ^^

*rolls eyes* Enjoy!

Hey! That's my line! T.T

Oh, and don't believe what you read in the first part of the story. It's NOT Hikakao… at least, not yet… *evil grin*

Bold is Cinder, writing as Kaoru,

And regular is Hika writing as Hikaru!

I opened my eyes and yawned, flipping over to my other side. Of course, I was greeted by the sight of Hikaru with his head jammed underneath a pillow. I smiled, and then began the usual routine.

"Hikaru," I reached over and touched his back with a cold hand. His muscles tensed up and rippled.

"Groff…" he grumbled, shoving his head further under the pillows. I laughed.

"Silly Onii-san," I placed my other hand on the small of his back and rubbed, as if to warm up my deathly cold appendages.

"Kaoru…" Hikaru rolled over, taking my hands with him, forcing me to straddle his torso. As soon as I had, Hikaru bolted up right, knocking his head into mine.

"Ow!" We said in unison, and I fell backwards.

"Hikaru!" I complained from the floor.

"I'm sorry!" His face appeared over the edge of the bed, with a hand rubbing his forehead. "You shouldn't do that!"

"Not my fault! You rolled over!" I laughed. "Now, we need to get ready for school."

=^.^= O.o =^.^= O.o =^.^=

Hikaru, you are such an idiot, I thought ruefully. Why did you have to mess things up this morning? If only that dang Ami wasn't in the picture. Loving my twin would be a lot easier if he didn't have a girlfriend.

"…Mr. Hitachiin?" All eyes were on Kaoru and me as we said, "Which one?"

"Hikaru please," the teacher requested.

"I'm sorry… I don't know," I replied, having not heard the question.

"Kaoru then," she re-directed.

"Gatsby's is a love that cannot be. He knows that he truly loves Daisy, but can't seem to realize that she will never be with him," Kaoru spouted off insightfully.

Gatsby's a lucky man… to be blissfully unaware that his love is unrequited… would that I could… would that I could…

Suddenly, I heard the telltale "Squeee!" –Thump- of fainting fangirls. I had said all of that aloud…

=^.^= O.o =^.^= O.o =^.^=

I raised my eyebrow at my twin. He blushed and turned away. So I had to wait until class was over.

"So… who's the lucky girl?" I asked, smiling and lightly hitting him in the arm.

"N-no one…" he looked away again. I was about to argue, when someone called my name.

"Kaoru!" Ami squealed, running up and wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Hey," I kissed her cheek. For some reason, I couldn't bear to kiss her lips. Because I love her? I heard that love can be like that sometimes.

"I-I gotta go," Hikaru mumbled, walking a little faster.

"Did you two have a fight?" Ami looked up at me with big gray eyes. I thought for a moment.

"No. I'm not sure what's up with him…"

=^.^= O.o =^.^= O.o =^.^=

So he's going to flaunt his girlfriend, eh? I thought as I power walked toward Music Room 3. Well, I'll show him.

I arrived in the music room to see only Kyouya. He was sitting at a desk, typing on his laptop. An idea struck me.

"Hey, Kyouya!" I called as I walked toward him.

"Hello Hikaru," he replied, not even looking up from the screen. "Where's Kaoru?"

"Somewhere that is not here, I assume," I said vaguely, pulling Kyouya's rolly chair back and turned it around to face me. Before he could move, I deftly removed his glasses and straddled his legs in the chair. I took his face in my hands and tilted it toward mine.

"Just play along," I whispered before claiming Kyouya's lips for my own.

Lemme just tell you, Kyouya is an amazing kisser. Before long, my shirt was halfway off and Kyouya had begun kissing down my jawbone and onto my neck. Suddenly, a giggling Kaoru with an equally bubbly Ami in tow burst into the room. The looks on their faces were priceless. Ami looked as if there was a "Squee!" -Thump- in her future, and Kaoru was frozen in shock.

Hehehe... that'll show him I thought smugly.

=^.^= O.o =^.^= O.o =^.^=

I'm not sure why, but anger was surging through my veins, seeing my older brother straddling the shadow lord, whose tongue was in Hikaru's belly button.

I was about to start yelling when Ami cut in.

"Ooooooh! How long have you two been together?" she looked hopeful, her dark brown hair swishing around her overly eager face.

"Oh, not long. Not long at all," Hikaru smirked as Kyouya removed his tongue from my twin's navel orifice. Ami looked on the verge of passing out. I decided that no good would come from arguing with him now, so I shot him the we'll-talk-about-this-later look. He stuck his tongue out at me and got out of Kyouya's lap, putting his shirt back on completely.

Now, I was mad.

=^.^= O.o =^.^= O.o =^.^=

Kyouya got up and sat down on a couch. I walked over and sprawled out on the same couch, putting my head into his lap. Kaoru looked murderous. I grabbed the shadow lord's hand and kissed his open palm.

"You taste good, Kyou-chan," I murmured, giving him the "Where did you learn to do that?" look.

"Mmmm... you do too," he replied, giving me the you-don't-want-to-know look.

"Cuddle buns?" I said, batting my eyelashes sweetly.

"Yes Sugarplum?" he smirked. (A/N: Really? Really Hika? XD)

"Can I stay with you tonight? I think Kaoru would like to have some alone time with Ami, and you know I can never pass up an opportunity to have you all to my self," I grinned.

"I have no objections, my love," he agreed.

And that is how I ended up staying the night with the shadow lord.

=^.^= O.o =^.^= O.o =^.^=

And that was how Hikaru ended up spending the night with the shadow lord. I was seriously not happy. Not a day has gone by that we haven't slept in the same bed. Some strange part of me just had to fight for Hikaru to not stay with Kyouya.

"Hikaru," I intoned, hoping he would hear the warning in my voice.

"Aw, come on Kao. Let them have some privacy," Ami looped her arm around mine and began to pull me away. At that point, I was near tears.

"Hika..." I called a little desperately. Just before Ami dragged me completely out of the room, I saw a painful expression on Hikaru's face.

=^.^= O.o =^.^= O.o =^.^=

"Tell me again why you're staying with me?" Kyouya asked.

"Because Kaoru looked murderous," I explained for the umpteenth time.

"Ah," he replied, sitting down on his bed. This would be my first night without Kaoru and I was a little apprehensive.

"We don't have to stay in the same room..." I reluctantly pointed out.

"No no. I don't mind. I know that you'll be lonely without Kaoru." I felt a pang of guilt that I was forcing Kaoru to sleep alone, but I shoved it to the back of my mind.

"Thanks," I told him.

We got under the covers and I wrapped my arms around Kyouya's waist. I buried my face in his shoulder and drifted off to sleep, thankful for the warmth he provided.

=^.^= O.o =^.^= O.o =^.^=

"No... I'm serious! I'll be okay," I sighed. Ami was becoming insistent. "Bye," I hung up the phone, and leaned back on the bed, my eyes filling up with tears.

I missed Hikaru.

Without taking off my school uniform, and tears streaming down my face, I fell asleep.
