Disclaimer: I don't own the Ouran High School Host Club manga or anime. I don't own the cover image either, I couldn't find the original source.
Author's note: This is the very first fan fiction I've ever written, therefore every chapter will be pretty short. English is not my first language, so there might be some errors, I really hope that the grammar is all right. Also, I took the opportunity to play with synonyms (I simply love to do that no matter which language I'm writing in, just because I learn more words and nuances that way), so I hope my word choices are good. Please give me feedback on what you like and what could be improved! Don't be harsh please, as I said, this is my very first fanfic.
The story behind making this fanfic is that I finished the Ouran High School Host Club manga the other day, and I got pretty upset over how almost everyone lost their personalities in the last 3-4 books. So in my world the 3-4 last books never happened. ;) Therefore this story bundle is only based on the matching parts of the anime and the manga, the rest of the anime and manga doesn't exist in the universe where The Triad takes place. This little story bundle is pretty much a "How it should have ended", according to my opinion.
Chapter 1: Aching Heart
Hikaru woke up. He had his arms around his sibling. He was the big spoon and Kaoru the little. He wondered where their middle spoon had gone, and how. She had indeed been between them. Hikaru hugged Kaoru a bit tighter, which made Kaoru to also wake up.
"Hikaru?" he said weary
"Yes?"
"Is the night's middle spoon downstairs making breakfast?"
"I guess so."
"Then we have time to just be the two of us…" Kaoru said while carefully turning in his twin's embrace to making them face each other.
"You're cute." said Hikaru, with a tranquil smile.
"Well, thank you. But my face feels all puffy from just been wakened."
"It doesn't matter. You know I love you no matter how you look…" he said softly. Changing the tone to a more mocking one to continue with "You know, I adore myself, I'm simply perfect and your face resembles mine."
"Hey!"
"Sorry, I'm just joking. I don't like your appearance because it's how I also look, I like your appearance because you're a wonderful person." then Hikaru gently pressed Kaoru onto his back, leaning over him, looking him deep into his eyes and tilting his face slightly backward, kissing him gently on the right side of his neck. Kaoru moaned a little, unconsciously, making Hikaru melt a little inside. Hikaru moved his mouth from Kaoru's neck, back to his face, giving him a passionate kiss on the mouth. They opened their mouths, just slightly, tilting their heads inconsiderably to each right, eluding their noses to bump, and kissed again, more intensely.
Haruhi was in the kitchen, on the bottom floor of the mansion. She wondered if the twins were still asleep or just idling in the bed because of their laziness. The breakfast was ready. She often made breakfast, she was the one who loved cooking the most in this triad, and also being the most early riser of it. She put the breakfast and tableware on a tray, heading to the stairs upwards with the tray in her hands. When she walked up the stairs she heard something barely audible. Their sloppy kissing and moaning.
"They are surely loud when they're doing that." she thought, snickering, feeling her cheeks redden. Then she felt a small sting in her heart. "Jealousy?" was a thought that passed her mind. But despite that thought she smirked while walking the last steps towards the bedroom.
She opened the door to their bedroom, looking at the couple in the bed. Hikaru and Kaoru paused their snogging and turned their heads towards Haruhi who still stand in the door opening. She put the breakfast tray on the drawers just to the right of the door and then looked back on them.
"Are you trying to make me jealous?" she asked politely.
"Sorry..." they answered in unison looking a bit torn.
"I'm just kidding around, you're mischievous all the time, I figured I should try it too some time." she said, sneering at them.
"That was a bit mean." said Kaoru, looking somewhat hurt.
"I'm sorry. Thought you were just lazy staying in bed for so long, but I had to check out if everything was alright. I'm happy to see you together like this, you know I love you. Also, you know I don't mind watching you two make out. I, sincerely, love you two no matter what."
She thought back to a moment ago, that moment when she felt a small ache in her heart. The sting wasn't jealousy, not at all. The feeling was the pain of loving someone, or actually two, so much that it hurt. Her stomach tingled every time she thought of them.
"Thank you." Kaoru said, looking pleased by hearing her say that she loved them, no matter what. Hikaru also gave her a serene smile, still lying on top of Kaoru. He then started to letting his left hand gently massage Kaoru's scalp, while still looking, a bit shyly, at Haruhi. She smiled lightly and leaned to the door frame looking at them. Kaoru gave out a small moan, which made Hikaru to turn back his face to Kaoru. He looked profoundly into Kaoru's eyes once more. Haruhi was still in the doorway. Hikaru and Kaoru almost reached the point of kissing, again, but Haruhi interrupted them. She started to unbutton her shirt and asked:
"Mind if I join you?"
