A/N: Alright. Now that chapter 6 of Cosplay is posted, I can post chapter 2 in this story. I haven't received any requests on specific chapters to post here yet, so I don't have any other ones to post any time soon. I'll try and find time to type the rest.


Ring. Kaoru rolled over in bed. Ring. "Mhm…" Ring. "Hikaru… answer your phone." Ring. Kaoru nudged his still sleeping brother, who grunted in return. Ring. "Hikaaaaaa…" Hikaru grumbled something about being woken up so early in the morning as he rolled over, picking up his phone.

"Hello?" Hikaru felt his brother wrap his arms around him, pulling Hika back down.

"Guys?" It was Haruhi.

"What's up, Haruhi?" They both said it at the same time, but Kaoru was still holding onto his brothers naked torso. All 3 of them sounded tired on the phone.

"Kyoya-sempai just called me." She began.

"This early?" Hikaru continued.

"That's so unlike him." Kaoru finished.

"I know. He invited me to dinner tomorrow night and I'm a little lost as to how to go about getting ready. I know it doesn't matter, but you rich people are finicky. I mean, I have no idea what to wear. If I need to make a good impression on his dad, should I dress up? Not that I care, but we need to do this for sempai." Haruhi continued rambling as Kaoru simply smirked at his brother.

"Haruhi."

"Yeah?…"

"You're tired." Hikaru continued.

"First thing you should do is get some sleep."

"We'll handle the rest!" The boys heard her yawn on the other end of the phone and they heard the bed rustle a little.

"Alright. Thanks Hikaru." The twins glanced at each other, taken aback by the fact that she named the right twin. "Goodnight, guys." She hung up and Hikaru set his phone down, sighing.

"Hika…" Kaoru looked at his older twin. Something had changed in his composure.

"It was a lucky guess." Hikaru was the one who seemed to believe no one would ever be able to tell them apart.

"Maybe. She might just know which one-"

"I don't think so." He put his back to Kaoru, who sighed, wrapping his arms around his naked twin again.

"Hika…""Good night, Kaoru." Shut down cold. Kaoru sighed.

"Good night, Hikaru." Kaoru snuggled closer to his older brother, allowing himself to drift into sleep, enjoying the warmth shared between the two.

The two of them woke up the next morning and got ready like usual. But, they woke up slightly earlier and got ready a little quieter than usual. They were both thinking along the same lines already for helping Haruhi get ready for her 'date'. So once the two of them were ready for the day, they went over to her apartment, knocking on the door rapidly. Her dad answered and let them in. "Can we speak to Haruhi?"

"Sure!" He turned and went to a door, knocking. "Haruhi? There's a couple of boys here to see you."

"Alright… I'll be out in a second." The twins smirked.

"She sleeps in a good bit, doesn't she?"

"Usually she gets up decently early to shop and clean for me! But, she must have been up late last night." The twins smirked at each other, knowing exactly what happened.

So Haruhi came out and the twins took her to their mansion (If you want more detail, you should have already read chapter 6 of Cosplay). Once they got her to agree to try on dresses, they closed her into the costume room. Hikaru smirked. "What do you think she'll try on, Kaoru?"

"I don't know, Hika. There's a lot in there." Hikaru nodded, going over and sitting in a chair they had in the middle of the room.

"Hopefully she'll try on a lot." Kaoru smirked at Hikaru's comment. Hikaru motioned for Kaoru to come over and Kaoru did, smiling slightly.

"Yes, Hikaru?"

"Sit with me."

"There's only one chair, Hika." Kaoru was laughing a little.

"Sit with me!"

"I can't!" Hikaru grabbed Kaoru's arm, pulling his brother onto his lap and hugging him.

"I said sit with me." Hikaru nuzzled his nose into Kaoru's neck before hearing the movement of the costume room doorknob. Hikaru sat back, appearing normal as Haruhi came out and showed the first dress. It was pink.

"Walk forward." Kaoru began. "Stop."

"Turn." Hikaru said.

"Spin." Kaoru continued. They both contemplated a little. "It's not exactly… you."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Haruhi looked at Kaoru.

"Nothing offensive," Hikaru began.

"the dress just doesn't compliment you." Kaoru finished, slightly defending himself. Haruhi sighed, turning to go back into the room.

"Put on a dress that hides how flat-chested you are!" Hikaru called after her. She closed the door, disappearing again. Hikaru smirked before laughing a little.

"What?" Kaoru asked.

"I just think it would have been a little awkward"

"if Haruhi walked in on you nuzzling my neck?" Kaoru finished, chuckling a little. "You're a little self-conscious, Hika." Kaoru laughed on the outside, but he wasn't on the inside. Hika being self-conscious only meant he cared about what Haruhi thought of him. That meant a part of him, no matter how small, liked Haruhi. Call it jealousy, but Kaoru wasn't ready to lose his loving brother yet.

"Shut up!" Hikaru put his face back in Kaoru's neck, kissing at first and nibbling later. Kaoru chuckled again, pulling away slightly.

"Stop it, Hika!"

"Shh…" He was laughing too. "Haruhi will hear you. She's right on the other side of the door!" He was whispering in an excited manner and still chuckling. His lips on Kaoru neck were tickling his brother.

"I said stop it!" Kaoru was quieter now, still laughing. Then, they heard a thump in the changing room.

"You okay?" They both shouted.

"Yeah, fine!" Haruhi called back. Then, she walked out in a nice black dress. Kaoru smiled and Hikaru frowned as they both gave her commands again.

"It's…" Kaoru started.

"Black's not your color." Hikaru interjected. "Try something lighter."

"Well… she's going to a formal dinner," Kaoru continued. "at the Ootori estate, with Mr. Ootori sitting at the table himself."

"So? She could wear something lighter…"

"Maybe not black, but something like a deep blue. Calm and simple. It'll show she can be elegant when the occasion calls."

"Hm… I suppose." Hikaru shrugged. "Deep blue would look nice on you, Haruhi."

Kaoru gave a small nod, but Haruhi didn't see. She'd already turned and gone back in. "You think she'd look good in dark blue?" Hikaru's face flushed a slight crimson as he looked away from Kaoru.

"Well, yeah. It's a nice color. What of it?" He wouldn't look at Kaoru, and Kaoru felt his stomach tie a little.

"Nothing, Hika. You know," Kaoru tried making the situation lighter. "you should wear dark blue sometime!" He smirked. "I think you'd look good in a dress!" His face grew a deeper red, which was a good sign.

"In your dreams!"

"You know, it might be now!" He blushed deeper yet and Kaoru giggled a little. "You know, Hika… red's a good color on you. Maybe you should wear red." Kaoru leaned his face down to Hikaru's, keeping it inches away from his face. The blush disappeared from Hikaru's face.

"Fine. Then you need to wear dark blue for me sometime! A dress, preferably!" Hikaru smiled, moving closer but still keeping his face a little away from Kaoru's. He was going to play Kaoru's little game with him.

"Hm… what kind of dress would you like me to wear, Hika?"

"Any dark blue dress will do. I'd like it to be short and strapless, though." He had an evil smile on as he half closed his eyes, looking directly at Kaoru's lips. Then he blinked. "Haruhi? What's taking you so long?" There were times when Kaoru really hated having guests over. Not that he hated Haruhi, but Hikaru couldn't stay focused.

Kaoru stood up off of Hikaru as Haruhi's answer came from inside the costume room. "I'm coming. Just give me a minute!" Hikaru stood up as well, walking into the room a little. When Haruhi came out wearing a dark blue dress and a white shall, both the boys stood and gasped.

"You look…"

"gorgeous." Hikaru finished. Kaoru nodded in agreement as Haruhi blushed.

"You… really think so?" They both nodded, Kaoru moving around Haruhi and going into the costume room behind her. Hikaru stopped staring, casting his eyes to the ground beside him and away from Haruhi.

"I'm sure Kyoya-sempai and Mr. Ootori will approve." Kaoru reappeared from behind Haruhi and tapped on her shoulders.

"Sorry for interrupting, but you should put these on." Kaoru smiled as Haruhi took the black stockings and matching shoes and went to put them on.

"She really does look gorgeous." Kaoru stated simply, testing his brother.

"Yeah… I know." He didn't carry the statement further than that, and Kaoru sighed. Haruhi came back out and the two of them helped her get her makeup ready. Well, it was mostly Kaoru. Hikaru remained silent and the two of them both jumped, though Haruhi didn't notice, when they heard the familiar sound of the downstairs door opening and closing. Their mom was home.

"Boys?" Their mom shouted.

"Be right down, mom!" They shouted, offering their hands to help Haruhi stand up. She accepted and they brought her downstairs. "Mom, this is Haruhi."

"Oh. It's nice to meet you. I'm only here for a minute, boys, and then I have to run again." They both gave a small nod, already having expected that answer. "She looks nice in that dress. Hikaru," Mrs. Hitachiin looked at Kaoru. "would you get me a cup of tea really quick?"

"I'm Kaoru, mom."

"I'm Hikaru." They indicated, unsurprised by the slip up. She looked at the two of them.

"Whichever one I'm talking to, I've had a long day and I've got to go soon. Would one of you just get me a cup of tea?" They both nodded and left, being uncharacteristically quiet.

When they got to the kitchen, Hikaru sat down. Kaoru sighed, starting to make the tea. They were silent for a little, but Kaoru couldn't handle his brothers silence as well as Hikaru could. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. Fine." Kaoru walked over to his brother, leaving the water to boil.

"It doesn't mean anything, Hika."

"I know…" He was staring at his folded hands on his lap, being strong but Kaoru could see he wanted to cry. Kaoru knew what he was feeling. Not even their mom could tell them apart. They were just one person to the world and the world was one careless being to them. Kaoru took Hikaru's hands, unfolding them and holding each of them in one of his. "You know, I think Haruhi can-" Hikaru shook his head slightly. "It's a possibility."

"I don't think so." Kaoru bent over, placing a gentle kiss on his brothers cheek.

"Well, I know you're Hikaru, and I love you." He felt his brother relax slightly and smiled a bit.

"Thanks, Kaoru. I love you too." Hikaru looked up at his brother and then over at the stove. "Your water's boiling." Kaoru gave a small nod, standing and going to make the tea. Hikaru went over as well, getting a cup and helping Kaoru.

The twins made two cups; one for Haruhi and one for their mom. They brought the tea out and handed a cup to their mother. "Thank you, boys." She took a sip, stepping back to the door. "Have fun! I'll be back in about a week."

"Bye, mom." They chimed together.

"That's terrible." The twins looked at Haruhi, slightly confused. "She can't tell you two apart." Hikaru became extremely quiet, leaning on a wall now.

"She's never been able to. No one has." Kaoru shrugged, offering Haruhi a cup of tea. She shook her head slightly and he set it down on the table. "We should get you to sempai's house."

"I'm sorry, guys. That must be tough." Kaoru looked up at her again, but Hikaru didn't move.

Kaoru glanced at him, and then at Haruhi. "We'll give you a ride to Kyoya's estate. We've got a limo out front." She gave a small nod as Kaoru walked to the front door, slipping his shoes on and opening the door for her. Haruhi put her shoes on and looked at Hikaru, who hadn't moved.

"Well?" He glanced up. "Are you coming to drop me off?" Haruhi had no intention of leaving him here alone. He gave me a small nod, standing and coming to the door. He put his shoes on and they all went out to the limo. Haruhi slid in last so she'd be near the door when they got to the Ootori estate.

The ride was mostly silent, but it wasn't terribly long either. The twins lived much closer to Kyoya than Haruhi did.

When Haruhi got out, the chauffeur closed the door and took his seat in front again. Hikaru remained gazing out the window as Haruhi walked up to the door. Kaoru took his brothers hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "You can take us home, driver."

"Do you suppose…" Hikaru let his words trail off as Kaoru looked at him.

"Do I suppose what?" Kaoru prompted.

"That…" Hikaru glanced at his brother. "Haruhi might fall in love with Kyoya?…" Kaoru swallowed hard, staring at his brother.

"I don't know. It's all circumstantial." Neither twin had noticed they were already halfway to their house. "I think whatever happens will happen, regardless of what we think or do…" Hikaru gave a small nod, looking back out the window. Kaoru moved closer to his brother, hugging his arm and cuddling up next to him. They were almost back when Hikaru broke the silence.

"He doesn't deserve her."

"Huh?" Kaoru hadn't been expecting his brother to speak.

"All Kyoya does is worry about working. Haruhi doesn't need that. He wont give her the attention she deserves."

"Hikaru…"

"He can't give her what she deserves from life."

"Hika…" Kaoru leaned forward, kissing his brothers cheek. "If it's not meant to be, it wont happen. They're just pretending, you shouldn't-"

"You know how tempting pretending can be…" Kaoru sighed, giving a small nod. Kaoru and Hikaru had originally pretended to be romantically involved for the host club, but it grew on them. Kaoru squeezed his brothers arm reassuringly.

"I'm sure it will be fine, Hikaru." Hikaru sighed, turning and kissing his brothers forehead.

"You're very optimistic."

"It couldn't hurt to give it a try, Hika." Kaoru placed his head on his brothers shoulder, not realizing they were back until the chauffeur opened the door for them.

"Thanks, James." They both spoke, getting out of the limo and heading into the mansion, hand in hand. When they got to their room, the door closed behind them. Hikaru sat on the edge of the bed, pulling his brother down onto his lap and giving him a quick kiss.

Kaoru smiled, thankful that his brother still loved him. He wasn't quite ready to let go yet, though he knew it was inevitable.

"Mhm… Thank you, Hika."

"For what?" Hikaru had begun kissing Kaoru's neck and speaking tickled Kaoru.

"Just… hm… nothing, Hika." Kaoru closed his eyes, lifting his head and allowing his brother to continue as the night passed on for them.
