I do not own Ouran High Host Club
O.o.O
It has always just been us.
From the time of our birth no one could tell us apart. Only we knew. And since only we knew our world was ours alone. We could not be touched from the outside.
We reveled in the information that we alone had. We hated that no one else knew.
People would always try. They would point at us and say who we were. But somehow they were always wrong. Though there was a fifty percent chance that they would guess right, they were always wrong.
We loved this. We hated this.
Though it seemed as if we enjoyed their failure, we were always hoping that they would guess right. Always. We were always disappointed.
And so we vanished farther into our world.
We'd lie awake at night wondering if it would a good thing if they guessed right. Wondering if we'd even let on that they were correct.
We never had an answer. We never needed one.
And then she came along. She waltzed right into our world and pointed at our faces and guessed right. She was never wrong.
"You are Hikaru. You are Kaoru."
And we'd blink at her in surprise and tell her that she was wrong. She would look at each of us in turn and speak her mind.
"I'm not wrong."
And she wasn't.
We had been slowly changing into an I. One person, the same because no one could tell our identity. She kept us a we. She was able to look up and say who we were.
And thus our world was shattered.
One we moved on, heart full of love that he wouldn't admit.
The other we watched from the background, silently urging the first on, secretly helping him.
During the day we were Hikaru and Kaoru. She was always there to unintentionally remind us that we were two. She was always there to crack into our world.
At night we were I. Staring at the ceiling, still wondering if we wanted our world broken into. For we loved our world. We hated our world.
We still don't know.
