Disclaimer: I do not own this! I own only the characters I thought up myself (as much as I wish I owned the rest).
So this chapter is the reason the rating changed. There is a little fluff. Also a bit of OOC Haruhi, although there is a reason for that, which you will see when you finish.
Please enjoy!
Hikaru dragged himself into the music room and threw himself down on a couch. After two months, they had finally presented their projects, and when he found himself with a little room to breathe, he ended up with a new problem. He hadn't been sleeping well for several nights now, and it was starting to affect him. It always started out fine. He fell asleep with no problems. Then the dream would come, and when he woke up from it, his brain went into overdrive and he didn't get back to sleep for what seemed like hours. It was just a good thing they weren't entertaining guests today. He didn't know if he could have sat through a regular session without falling asleep. He surely didn't know how he would react if Misaki-chan had shown up. Having to see Haruhi was bad enough. Sleep deprivation was not conducive to keeping secrets.
"Come along, children, we have plans to make!"
Tono entered the music room with his usual dramatic flair and took his customary seat at the head of the table they used for club meetings. Kyoya-senpai and Haruhi followed, and Hikaru knew the others wouldn't be far behind, so he started to get up, too. He'd just have to see about a nap later.
"Okay, people, it's time to plan a party!" Tono made his announcement as soon as everyone was seated. "The time since our last formal affair is simply too great, and I fear we have neglected the needs of our guests."
'More like we've neglected his need to be a show-off' was the look around the table.
"I wanted to throw a spectacular celebration last month; however, our esteemed vice-president would not allow it for some trivial reason."
"Tamaki, I'll explain this once more, so please actually listen this time. Last month the first years were in the middle of their class projects. Do you remember those? The ones that make up a full third of the grade for the marking period? If they ended up having to take remedial classes because they spent too much time helping to plan a party, that would be even less time they could spend with their guests. Would you have all those girls so sorely disappointed?"
Hikaru watched as the boss put on his act. He lowered his eyes with a remorseful look on his face like he was actually sorry he had ever considered something that would damage the grades of another host. Unfortunately, oblivious as usual, Tono didn't see the dark aura of the shadow king. If he had, his act might have been more genuine.
"Now back to the matter at hand. As Tamaki said, we are past due for an event. Out of all the ideas he put forth, the best by far was a masquerade ball. Since Halloween is a mere month away, the timing is perfect. We will have plenty of time to plan.
"As for individual assignments, Hikaru and Kaoru will be in charge of costumes. Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai will be in charge of refreshments. Tamaki will be in charge of decorations and reserving a ballroom. If you need help, Tamaki, you can recruit Renge. Haruhi and I will be in charge of entertainment. Are there any questions?"
As the others started asking questions and clarifying their instructions, HIkaru and Kaoru started their individual brainstorming. They always worked this way. They would come up with a dozen or so ideas each and then cross-reference their lists to find similarities. They would weigh the pros and cons of each similar idea and then choose the best of them to flesh out.
Hikaru had come up with eight good ideas so far. He rested his head in his hand and let his mind wander. The next thing he knew, Kaoru was shaking him awake. Hikaru sat up and stretched. Lack of sleep was killing him.
"Come on, Bro. Time to go," Kaoru had already gathered his belongings and stood waiting for Hikaru. He grabbed his bag and was almost to the door when Kyoya-senpai approached him.
"Hikaru, I wondered if you and Kaoru could do me a favor. Tamaki and I have to meet with his father to let him know what preparations we need for the ball. Would you take Haruhi home for me?"
"Sure, Senpai, no problem." Hikaru looked past Kyoya-senpai to where Haruhi stood. "You ready to go? The car is waiting outside."
"I'm ready. Let's go."
As they walked out the front gates, Kaoru turned to the other two. "Hey, can you drop me at the boutique? I want to see if I can find a few more ideas for the costumes."
"Okay, Bro. I'll come back after I get Haruhi home."
After Kaoru left the car, Haruhi moved to set next to Hikaru.
"H-hey, Hikaru? I, um, wondered if I could ask you something."
Hikaru was surprised. Haruhi was acting edgy and he wondered what she had to ask him that had her so nervous.
"Of course, Haruhi. You know you can ask me anything."
"Okay, well, it's just... it's a little embarrassing. Would you mind putting the privacy screen up?"
"Oh, sure. Whatever makes you comfortable." Hikaru pushed the button that raised the darkly tinted and completely soundproof window between the front seat and the passenger area. "So what did you want to talk about?"
"Well, you see, I have this little problem."
Hikaru looked at her with concern. "What kind of problem?"
Haruhi put her hand on his leg and looked up at him from under her lashes. "It's something Kyoya did."
Hikaru was getting nervous. What was she doing? "W-w-what did K-Kyoya-senpai do?" he asked with trepidation.
Haruhi began twirling circles on his leg with her finger. She cast her eyes back down as she answered, "It was horrible." Hikaru started to worry when he saw a smirk on her face and her hand traveled a little further up his leg. "If you must know, he awakened an incredible appetite for passion inside me. Unfortunately, he had no hope of satisfying it."
Her hand was getting uncomfortably close to parts of him he worried for should Kyoya-senpai ever find out about this.
Hikaru was nearly hyperventilating. Haruhi had a devilish look on her face as she worked his button and fly open without unbuckling his seat belt.
"H-H-Haruhi, a-are you s-sure you w-want to do this? W-what about K-Kyoya-s-senpai?"
"Are you really questioning a chance to be with me? We both know this is what you've always wanted. Besides, you can't exactly deny it," she said as she held the proof of his desire in her hand. "Now let me just show you what I'm capable of."
With that, she climbed out of her seat to kneel in front of him. She leaned forward and ran her tongue lightly up the ridge on the underside of his member before closing her mouth around his knob. When she started alternating between deep-throat bobs and swirling her tongue around his head, he closed his eyes and threw his head back against the seat deciding to ride out the pleasure and deal with the consequences later.
As she worked her magic over him, he felt himself getting close. If she didn't finish him soon, he would explode from the sensations. He opened his eyes and looked down at waves of dark brown hair cascading overt he back of her yellow uniform dress. When she looked up, bluish-green eyes met amber, and in that moment, he lost control.
Hikaru woke with a start. He looked around the music room a little confused. Everyone was getting their things together, ready to go. Hikaru looked to the table where his list of ideas still sat in front of him.
'What the actual Hell was that?'
"Hey, get your stuff, Bro. It's time to leave, and I want to stop some places on our way home." Kaoru's gaze turned to concern as Hikaru looked around once more in confusion before gathering his papers. "Hey, are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little disoriented. I haven't been sleeping well at night. Come on. Let's get out of here."
As they stood up to leave, Kyoya-senpai approached them. "Hikaru-" he started.
"S-sorry, Senpai. Have-have to go!Lots to do! Um, later." Hikaru couldn't get out the door fast enough. He did not want to see where that was going!
Kyoya and Kaoru watched him leave. "Well that was odd," Kyoya said mostly to himself. He turned to address the younger twin, "Kaoru, as I was about to say, please remember to run your final ideas and costume mock-ups by me before starting any construction. If you don't have any questions, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Sure, Senpai, no problem," Kaoru answered. He turned to follow Hikaru out the door. 'I wonder what that was all about.'
A/- So Hikaru's subconscious know something his conscious mind is not yet willing to admit!
