Hey. ;)

Here you have the second chapter of the fanfic. Remember to tell me what you think. :D


Chapter two.

Hikaru nervously tapped his fingers against the wooden table. The teacher explained something, but he didn't listen at all. He was too distracted, by the girl in front of his table. She took notes. So cute!

He laid his head in the palm, and kept staring at her.

"You know, that's pretty distracting!" Haruhi mumbled, and he quickly woke up. He realized, that she looked right at him, from the corner of her eyes.

"Wh-What?" He exclaimed.

"Stop staring, I can't concentrate!" She whispered.

"Oh… sorry!" He mumbled awkwardly and looked down at his own notes, he had only written his name. He peeked at Haruhi's, and saw two papers filled with notes. He signed.

This was supposed to be the day, were he finally told her how he felt!

That he had been madly in love with her, since … he couldn't even remember when. Maybe when Arai had stepped into the restaurant and given Haruhi that stare. Or maybe when they had eaten that ice cream on the date.

He blushed.

Stop that! He screamed at himself, don't blush in public!

He felt an elbow in the side, and turned to look at Kaoru next to him.

His twin handed him a note without looking at him, so the teacher wouldn't notice.

Hikaru opened it and read the well-known letters.

Follow my lead, okay!

That's all it said. Hikaru tried to catch his brother's gaze, but Kaoru just send him a crooked smile.

"What are you planning Kao-"

"Mr. Hitachiin!" The teacher interrupted him.

"Sorry," Hikaru mumbled.

The teacher turned at wrote something on the blackboard. Kaoru pocked him under the table again, and gave him a look that said: Now!

"OUCH!" Kaoru yelled and hugged his stomach in pain.

Everyone in class turned around and looked at him. The teacher even stopped writing and glared at him. Hikaru looked at him in confusion.

"What's wrong?" He asked without a clue.

"I think I'm sick!" Kaoru said, and made his best I-am-sick voice.

"Oh…" Hikaru said, still confused, but he tried to understand, "What can I do for you?" He asked and took both Kaoru's hands. They looked deeply into each other's eyes, and knew that all the girls in class held their breath.

"I don't know if I'll make it!" Kaoru whispered breathless.

"NO, I'll help you! You'll be alright!" Hikaru said and tears ran to his eyes.

All girls in class made a little scream and blushed, except Haruhi. She just looked at them, like it was a daily routine (Witch it were).

"Excuse me!" The teacher said, and all the glitter around the twins died, "could the not-sick one of you, follow the sick one of you, to the nurse. I have a class to teach!"

Hikaru and Kaoru didn't even bother telling her, witch one's witch. They had stopped caring about being called: you! Or, The one at the right, or something like that.

Hikaru looked at Kaoru. What was his twin doing?

He helped Kaoru get up from his chair.

"Drop me" Kaoru whispered to Hikaru.

"Wha-" But before he knew, Kaoru feel and slammed against the floor, "KAORU!"

"I – I'm dizzy!" Kaoru whispered. The whole class focused at them again, even Haruhi looked worried now. She looked cute when she was worried.

Hikaru hurried down and helped his brother sit up again. He actually got a little worried, even though he knew Kaoru was acting, but the fall must have hurt a bit.

"Kaoru!" Hikaru exclaimed and all the girls stared at them again.

"Maybe I need more support!" Kaoru whispered, but high enough that the whole class heard.

"I'll help!" A girl yelled.

"Thank you a lot!" Kaoru said dazing and the girl made a little scream, "But I think I'll like Haruhi's help!"

Now Hikaru understood. He felt the blood rush to his cheeks, but he shook it away immediately.

The girl looked disappointed.

"Could you come see me at the host club later?" Kaoru asked the girl, and she made a wide smile and nodded. Her friends around her looked jealous.

Haruhi looked at the twins in confusion. Why had they turned a guest down?

Kaoru reached out for Haruhi and she saw no other way then to obey.

Hikaru took Kaoru's arm around the waist, but Haruhi was so small that she had to take his arm, around her small shoulders.

All eyes were on them, until the door slammed behind them.

"Okay guys, what's the catch?" Haruhi immediately asked, when she was sure no one would hear them.

"What catch?" The twins said at the same time.

"I see you two act everyday, obviously I can see the differences!" She said and tried to find something in their eyes.

"So you do watch us?" The twins said, and gave her their identical smiles.

"Oh, quit it!" She mumbled and rolled her eyes.

"I really am felling sick!" Kaoru said, "I think I have a cold!"

"I though your stomach hurt, and you felt dizzy!" Haruhi said suspiciously.

"It's a seriously cold!" Kaoru said.

"It's only for the rich!" Hikaru explained.

"A commoner like you wouldn't know of it!" Kaoru ended.

Haruhi just ignored the last comment.

Stupid boys, she though, what are they up to? Some host thing?


"I'll be right back, you two stay here and wait for me!" Kaoru said and followed the nurse inside the nursing room.

"Hurry!" Haruhi said, "We'll miss a lot of class!"

Kaoru nodded and gave Hikaru a bright smile. Hikaru looked away and sat on the waiting bench. Luckily there was no one waiting. Haruhi sat next to him with a sigh.

"Anything wrong?" Hikaru asked.

"I'm just behind with my studies!" Haruhi explained.

"Your grades are higher then anyone in the host club!" Hikaru said confused.

"But I'm an honor student … it's a privilege for me to even be here, I should take it more seriously!" She said and looked down.

Hikaru got nervous. He wanted to comfort her, but he was really bad at it. He tried to lay a hand on her shoulder.

"You'll catch up, you're smart!" He said.

Haruhi smiled to him, she didn't want to tell him that it was because of the host club. She could see that he really tried to make her feel better.

"Thanks Hikaru!" She said and held his gaze. Hikaru suddenly forgot how to breathe and made an awkward gasp.

"What's wrong?" She asked, "Are you feeling sick too?"

"N-no!" Hikaru said and had to look away. She was so clueless that it almost scared him sometimes. She was brilliant at studies, and she knew just what to say, but when it came to romance she was such an idiot.

He had to make it easy for her to understand.

"Ha- Haruhi!" He said nervously and his eyes flicked.

"Yes" She asked, still looking at him.

"You know…" He began and tried to meet her chocolate-brown eyes, "Did you know … I" The well-known blush appeared in his cheeks.

"What do I know?" She asked.

"Di– Did you know that the onion is named after the Latin word meaning 'large pearl'!" He shook out.

"What?"

He slammed his teeth together, so hard that it almost hurt. So the blush grew even larger, in embarrassment.

"I didn't know that" Haruhi said and couldn't help smiling, "Do you have a lot of those facts?"

"I – I just thought you should know!" Hikaru mumbled, but quickly regretted he had even opened his mouth. Haruhi stared at him in amusement.

"Excuse me!" Hikaru said and jumped up from his chair.

"Hikaru?" Haruhi said surprised, did the tall boy actually run away? "Where are you going?"

Hikaru didn't even hear her, he was to busy yelling at himself in his head.

"HIKARU!" Haruhi yelled after him, but he had already disappeared around the corner.

"What was his hurry?" someone suddenly said. Haruhi turned her head, and saw Tamaki, holding a stable of books.

"I think I offended him somehow!" Haruhi said quietly.

"Don't worry, he'll be good again soon!" Tamaki said.

"I guess," Haruhi mumbled, "What are you holding?"

"Some books… they are for the nurse!" He said and sat the books down, "Why are you here? Your not sick are you?"

"No, Kaoru got sick, so me and Hikaru helped him out!" She explained, "But then Hikaru told me something about an onion and … ran!"

"Onion?" Tamaki asked surprised.

"Yeah…"

"Well, that's weird!" Tamaki said and sat beside her, "Hey, by the way, are you free today?"

"I think so… why?"

Tamaki used his most charming smile and took her hand in his.

In that second the door opened and Kaoru came out with a smile on his face.

"Will you go out with me, Haruhi?" Tamaki said.

Kaoru's smile slowly faded away and he stared at them shock.

What was going on? He thought, Hikaru you idiot. Where are you?
