A/NHej där! Stephan här med ett nytt kapitel för "Love Is Blinding". Woah, look who just typed that out in Swedish for no one to understand… Fun, right? … I'm so sorry, I'm trying to be funny… That's not a good sign… Anyways, my boredom causes me to write this third chapter. I'm not supposed to be doing this, though… I'm supposed to be moving files around on my computer at work for no kr at all!
Now… This chapter is gonna have some… Stuff. But, be warned, it's not what you came here for. You showed up for HikaxKao. You're not getting it. In fact, I don't know who's gonna do what with who, but let's just go on and see. Think back to last chapter for hints as to what might happen. *Evil laugh*
Also, I just read the reviews for y last two chapters and I wanna thank you for the suggestions and the kind words. You made my day. No, scratch that, you made my week! I was smiling the whole time reading all the reviews. Thanks. OH by the way, mad-one-13, my biggest problem with writing is keeping one thing going for a good amount of time, so I think everything could go on longer. It's a huge mistake on my part making Tamaki out of character (I don't pay much attention to him. I give all my attention to the twins and to Kyoya), so thanks for the heads up. That won't change until chapter four though, I'm afraid. And I really have not got a clue as to what kind of fic this is going to be. I have some fun stuff planned, though, wink wink.
Any who, let's get to the story eh?
Kaoru sat next to Tamaki as he watched his brother enjoy the water.
"I never knew he liked swimming so much," Tamaki began. "I guess you do learn something every day. Hm…" That statement caught Kaoru's attention and caused him to look up at his blonde haired friend.
"I guess so, yeah." He smiled a bit as he looked back to the pool.
"Have you learned anything today, Kaoru?" That, again, made the younger look up at him. He nodded and stood up.
"I did," he stated plainly. "I'm going to go in the pool, now. Why don't you join us?" He smiled as he pulled off his shirt. "Oh, by the way, do you have any trunks? I'm not like Hikaru where I'm fine with swimming in my new, clean shorts." Both laughed at that statement slightly and Tamaki nodded.
"Yeah, come on. Hikaru, we'll be right back, we're going to get some swimming trunks for your brother."
"Get me a towel!" Hikaru shouted back. The blonde just nodded and began walking.
As the two were walking to Tamaki's room to get something for the twin to swim in, the blonde had something to say.
"Kaoru, I have to tell you this, now." That worried Kaoru slightly but he figured he'd let Tamaki finish before he panicked. "When I said your brother had texted me before you two arrived, I figured you had to know why he wanted to come over."
"Wait, he said you'd wanted us to come over." At that Tamaki shook his head.
"No," he said, sounding a bit sad. "No, he told me he'd wanted to come over so you two could be viewed from a third person point of view. He said he was worried about how you were acting… Or something like that. But if you ask me, he's the one acting weird." Kaoru was rather surprised that his brother would lie to him. Tamaki opened his door and stood aside for Kaoru to come in.
"Did he say how I was acting strangely?" Tamaki just shook his head.
"But… Are you acting strangely because something is bothering you?" The blonde offered a smile as he asked the question. Not a happy smile, but an understanding smile. But all he got was a shrug. "Are you sick?" The twin shook his head and looked at the ground.
"Can I just have some swimming trunks, boss? I rather not get into a big heart to heart talk about anything right now." The blonde sighed and opened up a drawer and dug around for a bit. Once he found what he was looking for, he turned around.
"Here," he tossed a pair of blue and white trunks and offered another small smile. He turned back around and looked through the very same drawer again. He stopped looking and looked away. "It's the Host Club isn't it?" The question confused the twin.
"Um, what?"
"Something in the Host Club is bothering you, right?"
"What? No! No, nothing is the Host Club is bothering me, Tamaki." Again, the blonde sighed. He grabbed his own swimming trunks and walked out of the room.
"We'll talk about this later. You can use my room to dress." And with that, the door was shut.
Tamaki were swimming happily while Kaoru sat poolside watching. He'd gone swimming, but not for long. He said the water was too cold.
"Tamaki, I'll be right back." The youngest twin called out as he stood up.
"Alright, hurry back." The blonde smiled as Kaoru started walking off. He really wanted to know what was bothering his friend. He heard splashing and looked over at the other twin who'd made his way from one side of the pool to the other without Tamaki noticing him.
"Hey boss, I didn't hear him properly. Where's he going?" Tamaki shrugged.
"Not sure, he didn't say." Hikaru's big smile faltered at the statement.
"Why not find him? After all, he's dripping wet; he might get your place covered in water." Tamaki agreed and swam to the edge of the pool. He got out and looked back into the water with a small smile. He walked over to the chair he was lounged on earlier and grabbed his towel and began to dry himself off.
He walked through the halls looking for the red haired devil and was rather disappointed he couldn't find him. He started walking up stairs and looked around, knocking on door after door. Finally, he heard a sound. Of course, it came from his own room. 'He better just be getting dressed.' He knocked and waited for a response.
"Tamaki, I'm getting dressed. The pool was too-"
"Do you have pants on?" Kaoru huffed at the question and frowned.
"Well, I have my briefs on." And at that Tamaki was in the room, door shut immediately.
"You're brother wanted me to find you."
"Why couldn't you wait two minutes for me to dress? I mean really." Kaoru stood there, just in briefs, with an angry, confused look on his face. The two just looked at each other awkwardly for a moment before Tamaki seemed to come back to reality. He laughed and walked over to his bed. He sat down and continued to chuckle.
"Kaoru, I figured it out. I think I know what's bothering you." He offered a smile to the boy in front of him. "You're in love with someone. But who? Is it Haruhi? Oh, I bet it's Haruhi!" Kaoru gasped at the guess but brushed it off with a shake of his head.
"No, it's not Haruhi." He frowned, remembering what he'd established earlier that day. "Trust me; they're no one like Haruhi. But you're right, I am in love, but that's not the problem. It's who I'm in love with. It wouldn't be acceptable to anyone…" He trailed off as he pulled his regular, dry shorts back on. Tamaki blinked at the statement and rubbed the back of his neck. What did Kaoru just tell him?
"Are you saying you're gay?" 'Yeah, gay for my brother.' Kaoru thought.
"Uh, yeah."
"You're not kidding?" Tamaki couldn't wrap his mind around what he was just told. Kaoru gave him a look, a look like he was trying to be angry, but was really actually sad. "I'm sorry. Come here." Kaoru hesitated but sat next to his friend. 'What are you planning, Suoh?' He closed his eyes and sang a song in his head to block out what ever Tamaki tried to say. But he felt something on his shoulders and realized Tamaki had wrapped his arm around the twin's shoulder, like he did at the lake. And a moment after that, Kaoru heard his friend say something, causing his eyes to snap open. He looked over at his friend wide eyed.
"What did you just say..?" Tamaki shook his head and looked over at Kaoru.
"I told you that you and I are so much alike, you have no idea."
"Are you…" The twin stopped himself from finishing the question as Tamaki nodded.
"So, who are you interested in?" The serious look on the blonde's face was gone, as if it was never there, as a smile was clear on his face.
"Well, if I told you, you might never want to talk to me again."
"Is it me?" Tamaki asked his voice husky. He leaned closer to his friend and looked into his eyes very deeply.
"I-I, no, it's not you. Sorry…" Kaoru's face couldn't have gotten redder. Tamaki smirked slightly.
"Well, I still want you to know something. I've really liked you for a while now, Kaoru. And not just as a friend." He moved closer, making the twin uncomfortable and curious as to what was making him act like this, and where he could buy whatever Tamaki was on for Hikaru. 'Don't think like that.' He'd thought to himself. "I can help you get who it is you want, if you grand me one wish." Tamaki whispered with a small smile. "I'm sure he feels the same way about you feel about him." The smile only got bigger after he said that. Kaoru shifted, trying to lean away from his intruding friend.
"Tamaki, I told you, it's not-"
"I know. But I figured out who it is. Now, I can help. But one wish." Kaoru's eyes widened. First of all, how did he figure it out? Second, did he actually figure it out? And what's this wish he speaks of. Kaoru couldn't help but smile slightly, getting his hopes up.
"Fine, one wish. But first, who is it?" He felt proud of himself, making sure it wasn't just a lie. The blonde chuckled and pulled his friend closer and leaned closer, bringing each other inches from one another's face. Tamaki leaned in slightly, making it so one false move would cause their lips to clash in a kiss.
"Hikaru." The twin froze eyes wide, mouth wide open, and his heart skipping beats. His face was flushed. He was amazed, shocked, scared and curious. 'How did you find out?' he thought. He tried saying it, but couldn't get the words to come out. "Now for my wish. I want one kiss, on the lips, right here and right now." Kaoru shut his mouth and nodded.
"It's part of the deal…" And with that, he closed his eyes in a passionate kiss from his friend. And once Tamaki had enough, he backed away, a blush obviously on his face. Kaoru also had a rather prominent blush upon his face.
"Thank you, Kaoru." Tamaki spoke softly, he sounded rather pleased, yet nervous. But the twin frowned slightly.
"That was enough for you? Even after you said I'd been your love interest for… How long?"
"About six months…" Tamaki admitted, the blush getting darker.
"Wow… You should have said something, Tamaki." The blonde chuckled slightly and shook his head.
"I know but-"
"Never mind that, that was nothing. You can't be pleased with that." Tamaki opened his mouth to speak, but no words would come out. He looked around but gasped as he was pushed down on the bed by the red-haired devil. He looked at Kaoru wide eyed and spotted the smirk on his friends face. Kaoru got on top of his friend and leaned down. Their chests pressed together and the twin leaned down and whispered in Tamaki's ear.
"You should have done this," Tamaki's heart was racing. "I would've forgotten all about Hikaru."
The twin smirked and put his hands on either side of his blonde friends head. He moved his face to line up with his friends and brushed his lips against the others. Finally after a bit more teasing, Kaoru locked his lips with his friend's and moved his lips skillfully while his friend copied the movements.
Tamaki let out what seemed to be a strained moan. And when he did so, he opened his mouth slightly to the point that Kaoru could slide his tongue in the blonde's mouth. But as they were kissing Hikaru became impatient waiting for the two to come back so he set out on a journey to find them. When he reached Tamaki's room he knocked and peeked in.
"You guys in-" He cut himself off when he saw the two making out. He stood in the doorway in shock.
Kaoru heard someone or something and over at the doorway only to find his brother who was wide eyed with his mouth wide open. But who would have a different reaction? Seeing your brother lying on top of your best friend while both are wearing nothing but shorts would leave anyone shocked and wordless.
"Hika," Kaoru began to speak. He quickly got off of Tamaki and stood up. Tamaki sat up quickly and eyed Hikaru for any change. "What's up, why'd you come up here?" He laughed nervously and had on a fake smile.
"I was wondering where you two had gotten off to..."
"Hikaru, I... Uh..." Tamaki couldn't think of any words other than 'I secretly want to fuck your brother and this could have been my lucky chance but then you came in and I feel like you're going to kill me'.
"What was that?" was all the older twin could manage to choke out.
"We... Had a bet." Hikaru shook his head at his brother's statement.
"So what? What kind of bet?" He was almost yelling, now.
"If you sent Tamaki to find me if I was gone too long, I got one thing I wanted and-"
"So? You wanted to make out with him?" That time he yelled.
"Yes. I've wanted to for a long time, Hikaru. What does that matter?" Tamaki gasped at the statement. 'Covering for me..? Why?' He noticed a deep blush on Kaoru's face but a raging flame in his brother's eyes. He averted his eyes from the scene in front of him in fear that Hikaru might look over at him and start yelling.
"You... You have? I thought-"
"What, that I'd want someone else, like a girl?" After that Tamaki shot his head up, wanting to see the older twin's response.
"I thought you'd want someone you'd actually cared about!" After that, Hikaru had run off. Obviously he wasn't just mad. Kaoru ran to the doorway but left his brother. He looked over at his blonde haired friend and sighed.
"I'm sorry, Kaoru..." He buried his face in his hands as the twin walked over to the bed and sat beside him. This time it was Tamaki who felt a weight on his shoulders suddenly. He removed his face from his face and looked at his grinning friend.
"It's fine. Let him cool off, he needs time to himself, anyways."
"Are you sure you don't want to go after him?" The red-haired twin nodded.
"Yeah. He needs to grow up, though, accept how life is and accept the fact that life is full of surprises. Some of which aren't very pleasant, but they're still there. And you can't grow up without knowing that."
A/N WOAH. I had no idea that was going to happen, honest! I just kind of typed that and... Yea. Again, I know Tamaki is very out of character, but the guys are going back to school in the next chapter and he'll be back to normal. Hoorah.
Also, thanks again for the reviews, you made my whole week...
I swear I had something else to say but I can't seem to remember. What a coincidence, I just Google searched "How the hell do you find something that you lost when you can't remember jack shit?" (I've always liked swearing in English. Such a fun language… FAN JA!) Anyways... I know I updated yesterday afternoon (like I said I would on twitter) but I kind of wrote this and just kept writing... So, I hope you enjoyed this chapter (Kaoru and Tamaki could've done more if I wasn't at work). So review if you want, or don't. Up to you. See you Monday.
