Look into the past.
Here they are. Ouran High School Host Club 5 year meeting. So many years have passed and yet nothing is changed. Tamaki is cursing his brother for putting his hands on Haruhi and stealing her from her "daddy"; Kyuoya is typing in his pineapple notebook - now he had more counts to make since he created his company and bought his father's company right after - ; Hunny was eating cake with Mori by his side.
He guessed the only person that no longer fit into the picture was him. He was the only one that had changed himself almost completely.
Right after finishind High School he backpacked through Europe - not exactly backpacking because he stayed in the most luxurious hotels- and never returned after that.
He entered in Yale , and now was a very famous painter, who owned a just as famous gallery in New York.
His personal life was...fine. It could be wonderful if only he had changed the only thing left to change, his heart. Living alone in his world was not an easy task. But let's not look in the past right?
He has a great girlfriend. Her name is Violet, she has hazel eyes and light brown hair. Not only she is beautiful on the outside, she hleped him while he was bumed and away from home. She was everything any guy would want. Everything he would want if he could love her completely. She is so perfect that she even accepted his undying love for his brother.
And there he was beside her, afraid of entering the doors that would lead him back into his past. It was a trip he wasn't willing to take. If she hadn't convinced him he wouldn't be here right now.
"Kaoru...be strong and open this door." she said. Waht she didn't know is that even the action of opening the mohagony doors was too much for him. Because the last time he had opened those doors he had company. His brother.
Not seeing any movement coming from her boyfriend she put a hand over his and gently placed them above the doorknob.
He opened the door.
Everyone stopped what they were doing to look at the door. And they couldn't return to their previous activities after the door opened because the person standing there was someone they hadn't seen in many years.
Hikaru couldn't move. It was the first time in 5 years he sees his brother. He wanted to freeze this moment so he could have time to think of what to do.
He was different now. Taller than he was before, but Hikaru guessed that he was one inch or so shorter than himself. He probably was associated to a gym, because he had muscles now, not a Stallone type, just a few muscles so he wouldn't remain the skinny guy he once was.
He saw the tension in his brother's eyes, as he too seemed at a loss for words. And before anyone could speak, a girl that was beside him, that no one seemed to have noticed, spoke for them.
"Hi everyone...You don't know me but since my boyfriend doesn't seem to find words to introduce me I will introduce myself. My name is Violet and I am Kaoru's girlfriend. Adn I suppose that he is changed but you still recognize him. " she said with a big bright smile in her face, one that Hikaru felt like punching her mouth."Kaoru" she whipered trying to get him out of wherever he was.
He blinked a couple of times and looked at her. She smiled encouranging him to speak. He smiled at her and turned to them now seeming to be more confident.
"Sorry. It's just has been such a long time since I have last seen everyone. I just lost my words I guess." he gave them a shy smile. Hikaru still didn't knwhat to do. Should he run and hug him? Should he just shake hands? Should he fall a part like he was afraid he was going to do? He couldn't breathe properly and he knew his eyes had tears ready to fall.
"Kao-chan!!! I missed youuuu!!!!" Hunny screamed and ran to hug Kaoru who just smiled. Hunny was much taller now, though the top of his head only reached Mori's shoulder, the impact of his hug was stronger and Kaoru almost fell. He sobbed in Kaoru's shoulder and Mori soon went to consolate the crying Hunny.
Mori only said a 'Ah' and shook hands with Kaoru who felt a bit scared, he knew Mori hated people that made Hunny cry, Kyouya gave him a very awkard welcome hug and welcomed his girlfriend - only when he welcomed her they remembered she was in the room - Tamaki jumped up and down and onto Kaoru. This time he fell.
"You haven't changed a thing To-Tamaki-senpai." he said laughing a bit.
Now there was only two people left to hug. His beloved brother, and his half friend, half enemie. She oblivious to his negative feelings towards her, went to say hi first and welcomed Violet too. Violet looked like she could kill Haruhi. Kaoru had told her his story and she had started to hate Haruhi and blame her for everything.
His brother stood up from his seat. He felt like a teenager all over again. The one that begged for his brother's attention, the one that loved Hikaru so much that had to leave, because he knew that if he stayed he would eventually tell Hikaru how he felt and ruin everything. Violet looked concerned at him. He smiled slightly but he knew she could see through his fake confidence. She too knew how he felt at that moment.
Hikaru got near him and unlike the hug he was expecting to receive, he got something far from a sweet caring hug. He got the pain of a punch.
"Oh my God!! Are you mad? What was that for?" Violet asked, looking and touching Kaoru's cheek who had turned red immediatly and soon would be purple. Kaoru looked like someone had ripped his heart out, or what was left of it. Everyone was yelling but the twins weren't moving. Hikaru pinned Kaoru to the wall, holding him by his collar. Tears were threatening to fall from his eyes.
"Don't you ever leave me like this again!" he yelled. Tears fell from his eyes and fell in Kaoru's shirt. Kaoru sighed in relief, and closed his eyes. When he opened them again they weren't showing shock or surprise. They were showing the most kind expression anyone had ever seen in his eyes. Caring, compassion, understanding, and most of all...love.
Hikaru released his brother and cried silently looking down, not daring to face Kaoru. Kaoru gave a small chuckle and for the first time held Hikaru in his arms. Hikaru pulled him closer and buried is head in his shoulder."I never knew where you were, you never came to visit us even when I begged you to! I actually begged for you! Why did you come back anyway? Should have stayed wher eyou were!! We have a life without you now!" Hikaru angrily said. Worried eyes watched Kaoru but he just laughed.
"I missed you too." Kaoru quietly said, closing his eyes, letting his own tears fall. Hikaru let one loud sob fill the room, everyone watched them with kind eyes. Including the woman who knew this would happen. Her hazel eyes watched them with kindness, and she knew that soon they would be together...in the way Kaoru wanted it to be.
