Hi, I thought of writing this after some time, so I thought of giving it a try. Hoping to keep this well-written and original. But, I might fail.

It's a normal day at the Host Club at Ouran Academy. It is currently sunny in the spring season with the cherry blossom blooming. The Host Club is having an outdoor view of the pink blossomed trees with the ladies being with their favorite hosts, talking about all kinds of first class topics. Haruhi doesn't find that interesting, so she is walking around with a tray of well-baked cakes, which is being devoured the most by a short third year classmate and host. Nearing closing time, the short haired female in boy's uniform is cleaning the area with ease, but she doesn't have to since there are others who do the cleaning, Kyouya stated one day, but Haruhi feels that she wants to clean since it puts her at ease. Kyouya has nothing to argue about, and he finds that it wastes energy to do so since there is no merit for him.
But, today is a happy occasion for the first year brunette. She is going on a date although she has no idea where she is going and neither her date, Hikaru Hitachiin, is sure of either. They both decide that the date to be simple.
But, something else interrupts their plans. Hikaru has something that he thought that he wants to do. And, so, he pulls Haruhi early. He bids the other members and his younger brother, Kaoru, good bye. The twins hug each other before departure. Everyone see the departure, and all kinds of reactions are made. Tamaki nearly throws a fit, but Kyouya holds him back by the back of the collar shirt. Hunny excitedly waves good bye to the two while Mori waves a silent 'see you tomorrow' expression.
Before leaving out the door, Hikaru catches a glimpse of something, but he quickly turns around to face his date. "Sorry, but I had to pull you out early."
"I don't mean, but you could have said something earlier. Also, we have time." Haruhi bluntly states as she continues to walk alongside the older twin.
"Well, I have a plan and I want to discuss it with you." The older twin states with a smirk as he points up with his index finger.
"A plan? I hope this isn't another scheme of yours to get back at Tamaki." The brunette gives the older twin a disapproving look. They continue to walk until they reach the gate.
"No, it's not that. Well, you're a good reader, but I have something else in mind. You see, it involves Kaoru." Hikaru's face starts to flush a bit red.
Haruhi becomes silent as she stares upwards at the elder twin's face. Hikaru looks troubled and lost as he rubs the back of his head. The girl isn't sure of anything, "So, what's wrong with Kaoru?"
There is a bit of silence as they continue to walk. Hikaru puts both hands in his pockets as he looks down at the sidewalk in front of him. He thinks for a few moments and Haruhi doesn't ask any further as she watches the red head. Then, finally, he looks at her with a deep determination and with a smirk, he says, "You see, you know that we both support each other so much that we love and understand each other as much, right? Well, love as brothers, but nothing else beyond that, right?"
"Yeah, I get that or else, I wouldn't be here now, but get to the point." Haruhi nods her head in understanding as she remembers the scenes where the twins are always together, holding hands, standing side by side and so on and so forth. They seem to have never been separated but until now and some other times.
"Oh, yeah, you're right. Well, anyway...could you please help me...to help Kaoru...realize his own feelings...?" As he asks his question, Hikaru's walk slows a bit and he stops as he stares at Haruhi with a troubled expression.
Haruhi stops as well as she blinks. Without much of a single thought of her own, she nods her head in agreement. Hikaru gives her another whimsical smile as he pats her head and then, he hugs her. "Thanks. You know how Kaoru is for me, right?"
"It's because he's there for you that you're willing to do anything. It's because you want to do this is he's the only family that can support you in every way. Yes, I'll help you." Haruhi states with a smile of her own.
"Thanks, and after that happens, I want to go on a perfect date for the both of us!" Hikaru states with determination and there is a gleam in his eyes that shines.
"That's some goal..." Haruhi bluntly states as she releases the older twin.
"True, but it's worth it, right?" The red head smiles again. The shorter girl smiles, wondering how this is going to turn out.

After seeing his twin leave with Haruhi out the door, Kaoru turns around to pack up and go home. The third year hosts leave earlier and the second years goes off to plan another event, which turns out to have the blond complains about his son being dirty towards his loving daughter. Kyouya just smacks his best friend on the head and suggests to get serious, yet Tamaki cries that mother is being violent.
Kaoru sighs, noticing the room being so big all around him. He walks to the room, hidden by the curtains. It is the changing room as well as the locker room of sorts. It's big enough for another party room, but they all planned to have it as the changing room for their cosplay. Seeing his bookbag, the younger twin makes a quick call to his driver to come pick him up soon. His driver is to come around fifteen to twenty minutes. He sighs, sitting on a chair in the main room.
He is surprised, seeing Hikaru making a big move for himself. The younger red head feels proud yet he has this other feeling. He feels that it's rather uncomfortable and at times, he hates it. He doesn't understand it, even though he's the most mature of the twins.
Giving another sigh, he stands up, and he decides to walk towards the gate to wait for his chauffeur. It seems like a long walk than he thinks it would be. Maybe not having Hikaru around him makes the space next time him even more bigger.
Then, he laughs a bit to himself silently. "Dammit, I'm getting depressed for no reason. I just got to get used to it. We're both moving on..."
He reaches the gate, and he is surprised to see Kyouya standing by himself. The upperclassman notices the younger twin, and greets him with the nod of his head, acknowledging Kaoru's presence. "I thought you would be home by now."
"No, my driver said he was coming in fifteen, twenty minutes. I thought you would be with Tono." Kaoru questions the older classmate.
"No, he had an appointment. He has another plan made for us and our customers in a month, regarding the last day before summer vacation and graduation for Mori and Hunny." The bespectacled boy states with a sigh as he crosses his arms.
"I see. Just usual planning then." The twin states with a shrug.
"More or less." The brunette states as he checks the time.
Then, a limousine comes into view on the road. It belongs to Kyouya. He forbids Kaoru farewell before the limo leaves. The younger twin watches the black vehicle leave.
Soon enough, there is an eerie silence and an odd feeling Kaoru feels around him. After some time, he sees his limo coming. He enters and leaves with it, hearing his driver apologizing for being late, but Kaoru dismisses it.

Late at night, Hikaru and Haruhi are in a taxi together, taking the brunette home first. Her home comes into view. Before leaving, she asks, "Are you sure this will work? What if he suspects you?"
"Doesn't matter to me as long as it turns out right, right?" Hikaru positively thinks.
"Well, if you say so, but..." The brunette feels a bad feeling of anxiety in her stomach. She didn't like this, but hopes that it turns out alright.
"Yeah, I know the doubts, but I'm making sure it will work." The red head exclaims, seeing that he gets his point across.
"Why do you think this will go well?" She asks.
"Well...he's an idiot, and the other one is an idiot too. They're both idiots, so they're perfect for each other." Hikaru nods his head at his own agreement.
"Oh, if you say so. If they heard you, they'd give you a lecture or too or worse." The brunette suggests.
"It's worth it."
Please review and tell me what you think. The better the reviews, the better and faster and enjoyable the next chapter will be. See you then.
