This got a little bit of positive reviews, so I think I'll continue it! Thank you all for reading!
"Welcome!"
The Host Club was in their usual position that day, but the only thing different was that they weren't in the club room… And instead of Ouran uniforms, they wore more casual clothes (That made Haruhi cuter, and Kyoya hotter).
A mother walked through the doors and greeted Haruhi who smiled and gave her a clip board to sign her child in. "Welcome miss!" She said before bending down to talk to the little girl hiding behind her mom, shyly.
"Hello, Kano-Chan! Let's play together okay?"
Little Kano looked around and slowly walked inside the room. "Can… Can we play princess?" She asked, almost so quiet that it was a whisper.
Haruhi chuckled and whistled, waving a certain blonde 'prince' over. "Oh Prince Tamaki! I found a lovely princess for you!"
Tamaki bounced over with a rose and bowed to Kano. "Why, hello princess… Will you come with me, that we may rule over the kingdom together?" He kissed the young girl's hand, then gave the rose to her mother. "This is for you, milady."
Both of them blushed and thanked Tamaki, going on to the rest of their day. Kano went off to making a paper crown with Tamaki, while Kano's mother had gone to work hard for her family.
The Host Club was closed for the Summer, so all the hosts decided to tag along Haruhi and do some volunteer work at Ai Academy, a pre-school and day care center. They used their sparkling personalities for charming the little children, making the job lots more fun! And since there were so many of them, the host club had been scheduled to work in the largest room, all on their own. Just the seven of them! Technically Honey is the main teacher (Because he's the eldest… Boy did they have a little trouble proving that), but they all worked as a team- just under the Haninozuka name.
Now, back to our story… More children came, and it was time to start. They got a quick lesson on counting to ten, then they learned about patterns, and reviewed their ABC's. Once that was over with, the twins lead them in a craft. Necklace making!
The Ai Academy students all sat at their desks, stringing beads while Tamaki walked down each row, complementing each child.
"That's MINE" "No it's not, GIVE IT! "You're not the boss of me!"
The orange haired twins looked at each other, then to the back of the class room where they heard shouting. Oh…. Just the Nakamuri twins… For the fourth time today.
"Alright, what's going on?" Hikaru asked, leaning on little Mina's desk. She was the eldest sibling over her twin brother, Hinata.
Kaoru leant on Hinata's desk and sighed. "Yeah, you two've been at it all day."
Hinata crossed his arms and looked away. "It's her fault. She keeps taking all the beads for her necklace. BEAD-HOGGER! I bet you're making it for Kaoru! Because you're in looooove with him," he teased with a slight smirk.
Kaoru blushed slightly and looked at Mina. "Sweetie… I'm flattered, but… You should share with your brother," he said, clinging unto his own brother. "I always share with Hikaru… Because, he's my brother! I love him!"
A bright pink blush painted over Mina's cheeks as Kaoru spoke to her. His raspy, cutsie voice… Hikaru may look just like Kaoru, but Mina just adored Kaoru's voice… Plus there was something more mature about the younger twin.
"F-fine…" She hesitantly agreed and fiddled with her fingers. "Kaoru Sensei? C-can I ask you something?"
Hinata smirked even wider and nudged his sister. "Ooooh, Kaoru and Mina sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-"
"Okay! Enough of that please!" Hikaru interrupted, carrying Hinata out of his chair. "You take that one, I take this one. Kay?" Hikaru said, nodding at his brother.
Kyoya pushed his glasses up and shook his head. "Hikaru… Please don't refer to the children as 'this' or 'that'…"
Hikaru raised a brow and playfully saluted, swinging Hinata over his shoulder. "Yessir."
The kids giggled, and continued their craft, calling on their favorite teachers to help.
"Onii-C- Ah! I mean… Tamaki Sensei…" Tsuki said, biting her tongue. Shoot, he reminded her so much of her brother…
Tamaki smiled and walked up to her. "It's alright. You can call me what you want," he said, tilting his head to the side. "So what's up?
Tsuki grinned and slid a gold-beaded bracelet with purple string unto Tamaki's wrist. "It's for you!"
Meanwhile, In the corner of the classroom…
Mina looked down and shuffled her feet, blushing at the attention Kaoru was giving her… Not just anyone random boy, this was Kaoru. Hitachiin.
"So, what's on your mind, Mina-Chan?" Kaoru asked, sitting down in front of Mina. "Any chance it has something to do with your brother?"
The young girl huffed then sat on her knees, pouting a bit. "Yep… I don't know why, but Hinata acts like he hates me… He always teases me about boys, and tells me that mommy isn't home because I was being a bad girl!" She threw herself into Kaoru's arms as she cried a little. "But that's not true, right? I try my hardest to be good, but last night I accidently spilled glitter all over the carpet!"
Kaoru was a bit shocked, but shifted little Mina then lay down with her head on his chest. "Mina… I don't think that's true. Your mother could never hate you. They love you, even if you make mistakes." He hugged her tightly. "Where is your mother?" he asked quietly.
She closed her eyes, listening to Kaoru's heartbeat. "She's always at work… And she never stops." She fluttered her eyes open, then nuzzled against Kaoru's chest, feeling comforted for the first time in months. Something about Kaoru made her feel safe and comfy… Like a mother's arms. Or at least what she thought a mother's arms felt like.
The younger Hitachiin nodded and chuckled. "Yeah, I get what you mean." He leant back on his palms and looked at the ceiling. "My mom works every day, and she mixes me up with Hikaru… But I know she still loves us."
"How can you tell?" Mina asked.
Kaoru smiled. "Because she told us so. And no matter how busy she is, she makes at least one day for us."
Mina giggled and nodded. "Mommy comes home at night time to tuck me and Hinata in… She always says I love you, then goes off to work again…"
Kissing her cheek, Kaoru said, "See? She makes some time for you. She works so that you can have a nice house, and that she can feed you… She loves you very much, Mina."
"What about Hinata?" She asked while looking at her hands.
Kaoru sighed and stood up, pulling Mina up with him and saying, "It's just what brothers do, Mina-Chan. We love them, hate them, and can't live without them all at the same time. Your job as an older sister is to watch out for him, and in return, he'll end up watching your back too." He winked and held Mina's hand. "Class is almost over… We should find your brother and get your stuff ready."
Outside on the playground…
Hikaru and Hinata were sitting on the swings, having a little man to man chat, when they heard Kaoru and Mina approach.
Hikaru gave a smile to Hinata and nodded once, and in response, Hinata nodded back.
"Um… Onee-Chan," he started, dragging his feet on the floor to stop swinging. The swing was kind of high, so only the tips of his shoes dragged on the ground. "I'm s- Gah!"
Hinata misjudged the height of the swing and fell. Not hard, but he slid a little bit, leaving a bright red wound on his knee.
"Onee-Chan!" He cried, tears already starting to fall.
Hikaru and Kaoru rushed up, but Mina quickly jumped in, kneeling next to her brother.
"H-Hinata, it's okay, I'm here," she cooed. She blew on her brother's wound and examined it, holding on to Hinata's hand and wiping his tears. "Hika-Sensei, Kao-Sensei, do you have ice and a band aid?"
Hikaru squeezed Kaoru's shoulders, letting him know that he was going to get the stuff, then ran inside the class room, looking for the first aid kit. Kaoru knelt down next to the younger twins and smiled at Mina. "Good girl," he said before scooping Hinata up. "Let's go put the band-aid on him, okay?" he said.
Mina reached up to hold Hinata's hand. "Okay…"
First Aid was administered, the Hitachiins had to write an accident report, then everything was taken care of. Class was dismissed, Kaoru got a kiss on the cheek from his little admirer, then all that was left was clean up.
Later that night at the Nakamuri manor…
"Onee-Chan?" Hinata asked quietly. The two twins were tucked together in the middle of a giant couch, watching t.v. and waiting for their mother.
"Yeah?" she asked, shifting the blanket that was wrapped around them. Mina combed her shower dampened hair with her fingers and rested her head against Hinata's shoulder.
The boy fiddled with his fingers and closed his eyes. "I-if you like Kaoru-Sensei more than me, then I'll let you marry him and let him take you. Hikaru said that I need to be a good brother and help you make good decisions with boys, and I should beat up any guy that breaks your heart," he explained.
"Hina…ta…" Mina burst out laughing, laughing so hard she was in tears. "Hinata!" she giggled again. "Geeze, I love you so much," she said, still surprised about what he said.
"I love you too, Onee-Chan," she said, hugging his sister.
"And I'll beat up all the boys that break your heart."
