The her is not Haruhi, for those who were wondering. ;D The nanny doesn't get enough credit. I mean, really, she changed them in a way no one knows.
Warning: not betaed, and not spell-checked either. So beware. Disclaimer: I don't own the Ouran premise.
because they loved her
-
No one understood them really.
Why they would sit at the same desk. Why they would refuse class get-togethers. Why they were the third, fourth in class when they were possibly the smartest of all.
No one understood. No one wanted to. And that's what they've always wanted.
No one knew.
They couldn't allow themselves to step out of borders, couldn't allow themselves to attach themselves, couldn't allow themselves to trust anyone who wasn't them. Because they could only trust themselves. They could only trust themselves.
That's what oneechan said, when she disappeared long ago.
She was a thief, they had always known that, but they loved her. She taught them many, many things. How to cry without feeling sad, how to smile without feeling happy. How to trust without trusting at all.
And then she betrayed them. Took the slip of trust from them and tore it to pieces.
It was their fault. They shouldn't have gotten too close to her. She said so herself. You can't trust anyone but yourself.
But Hikaru was Kaoru and Kaoru was Hikaru, so they knew they could trust each other. They knew they could only trust each other.
They grew up and built a wall around themselves. No one dared lay a hand on one of the Hitachiin twins, and that was what they wanted.
They never got close to anyone because they were afraid of trusting. They never trusted anyone because they were afraid of it being torn away and burned.
Trust is like a piece of paper.
That's what they learned from her and that's why they remembered.
Because they loved her and she taught them the greatest lesson of all.
You can't trust anyone but yourself.
