Hey guys! Sorry for my absence, I really missed this story! And yes Honey is a little OOC because of the situation.
I don't own Ouran
"Kao-chan!" Honey called while jumping out of Mori's arms and running to the younger twin, hugging his leg. It was before the Host Club started for the day and Honey was happy to be there. It was better than feeling awkward at home.
"Hi, Honey-senpai, how are you?" Kaoru asked, looking down at the blonde and ruffling his hair. Hikaru had gone to get their costumes for the day, leaving Kaoru and Honey alone.
"I'm okay Kao-chan," Honey let go of Kaoru's leg and flashed him one of his smiles that always either charmed or fooled anyone. Well…anyone but Kaoru.
"You sure senpai?" Kaoru sat down on one of the couches on the opposite side of where all the other Hosts were while Honey followed him and did the same. They were alone and no one could hear them so Honey could tell Kaoru what he needed to.
"No," Honey crossed his legs and placed his head in his hands, propping them up on his knees. His voice changed from the happy little Host he always was to a sad and heartbroken teenage boy.
"Do you know what you're going to do?" Kaoru placed his hand on the older boy's back, trying his best to comfort him. He didn't have an idea at the moment but he was determined to help his friend get the one he loved.
"I don't know…I look suspicious don't I?" Honey asked lifting his head out of his hands, attempting to not look unusual to the rest of the Host Club but failing miserably.
"To be honest, a little bit," Kaoru looked around the room, noticing Tamaki quickly looking away from them and walking back to Kyoya in silence.
"They're noticing," Honey looked around the room in silence, not knowing what to do or what to say. To tell the truth, Honey didn't even know if anything would go back to normal ever again.
"Honey-senpai, where's your Usa-chan?" Kaoru changed the subject and tried to get Honey to do something that wasn't out of the ordinary. He sometimes lost his little bunny when he was at school and had to search for it, not remembering where he had it last. It seemed that he lost it again without even noticing.
"Oh, I don't know! I have to find Usa-chan!" Honey cried, jumping off the couch and running out the door with Mori closely following him.
"Oh, boy," Kaoru sighed feeling Hikaru's hand on his shoulder. He turned around to look at his brother, who looked back at him with a smile before pulling on Kaoru's hand.
"Come on, I'll help you with your costume," Hikaru grabbed his other hand and took Kaoru to change into their costumes. Kaoru looked back at the door behind him, hoping that his senpai would be okay. He knew what falling in love with your own family was like, he just hoped that it ended well for Honey as it did for him and Hikaru.
"Usa-chan, Usa-chan, Usa-chan!" Honey ran down the hallway chanting to himself, aware that Mori was still following him. He didn't want the subject of his recent behavior to come up so he just pretended that Mori wasn't there.
Honey ran into his classroom and searched in his desk to find his little bunny inside. He let out a sigh of relief and hugged the bunny to his chest lovingly. He suddenly realized that he and Mori were standing there in complete silence. Honey squeezed Usa-chan tighter to his chest and slowly started walking out the door.
"Mitsukuni," Mori paused and picked up the small blonde and held him in one arm and closed the door with the other.
"Takashi," Honey whimpered quietly, resting his head on Mori's shoulder.
"Mitsukuni…are you sick?" Mori asked the Honey and felt his forehead for a fever and finding no fever. Honey was as cold as ice.
"I'm not sick," Honey looked up and smiled, his heart starting to feel all types of feelings and a lump in his throat starting to form.
"Then what's wrong? You're so cold," Mori asked, clutching Honey closer to him. It made Honey worry and it made him uncomfortable to be held that close to the person he secretly loved.
"Um, can you uh, please put me down?" Honey asked quietly. His question made Mori confused but he put Honey down only seeing the tears forming in his eyes for a second. It scared Mori for a second and he didn't like seeing Honey cry. It made his heart hurt.
"Mitsukuni, what's wrong?" Mori knelt down on one knee to level with the blonde and repeated his question. This made the smaller boy even more uncomfortable and his eyes could barely hold back his tears for much longer.
"I'm just tired," Honey tried and rubbed his eyes, his voice becoming cracked. He had cried in front of Mori a million times before, but not because of his feelings for him. It was something that Honey was scared of. He had never felt more strange or embarrassed in his life than in that moment.
"No, that's not it, you can tell me anything," Mori reminded Honey. It was true. When they were younger Honey would tell Mori just about anything. Oh how Honey wished that they could go back into the past and it would be perfect.
"I don't know if I can tell you this," Honey whispered quietly, mainly to himself. He gasped realizing he had said that aloud.
"Tell me anyway," Mori said softly, holding Honey's small hands in his. Honey looked up at him with a scared look in his eyes.
"I…" Honey took his hands away from Mori's. Would he be able to tell him his feelings? What would happen if he did? There was only one way to find out was there?
"Go on," Mori urged him gently.
"I...love you," Honey said quietly, but still loud enough that Mori could hear him. Honey didn't know what else to do. He didn't know how to get out of the situation he was already stuck in.
"Oh, I love you too," Mori ruffled Honey's hair, making the little blonde almost instantly start crying.
"No, I mean, I love you more than family, I love you like a lover," Honey cried out in only one breath. He gasped and covered his mouth, not believing what he had said. He felt lightheaded and now he felt like he was going to be sick.
"Mitsukuni," Mori said gently trying to calm Honey down as he continued crying. Honey felt Mori grab his hand once again. He couldn't take it. He didn't want to know what he was going to say. Was it even worth it?
"I'm sorry!" Honey ripped his hand away from Mori's dropping Usa-chan and ran out of the room and down the hallway in tears.
Back in the classroom, Mori sighed and picked up Usa-chan. He never knew Honey's secret could be so hard for him to confess. If only Honey knew how Mori felt.
Well, now I'm sad. Don't worry I already have plans for my next chapter and it's gonna be awesome. Please review!
