Disclaimer: Still doesn't belong to me... sad times these are...

Soooooo, I am watching the Yankee game and they're loosing. Loosing Yankees make me depressed and then I thought 'HEY! Kaoru is gonna be depressed too! Lets share our depression!' So thanks to the Yankees you are getting a chapter that was not originally going to come out today :) Anyway, on with the story.

Kaoru P.O.V.-

BAM!

The door to our room closes with a loud thud. I glance over at the clock sitting next to my head. 12:48 am...

What the hell was Hikaru doing with Haruhi until fucking 1 am?

"Kaoru! Kaoru! Guess what!" I could see the joy radiating from his eyes and I hadn't even lifted my head off of my pillow.

"Hiiiiiiikaru... it's 1 in the morning. Couldn't this wait until a more reasonable hour?" I knew I was whining but I really didn't want to hear about his date with Haruhi. I wasn't that much of a masochist... was I?

"We kissed!"

I was...

"What do you mean 'you kissed'? It was only the first date! I thought people didn't kiss until... I don't know... the 3rd date!" I was desperate at this point... desperate to hear that he was only kidding and she hadn't stolen my twin's first kiss.

"Kaoru... don't be a prude. It was wonderful. We went to one of those commoner theaters to see a movie. The movie was terrible but Haruhi enjoyed it so I don't really care. And then we went to Enju because..."

"YOU TOOK HER TO ENJU?!" I didn't care that I was practically yelling this early in the morning... all of my tiredness was forgotten as soon as he said he took Haruhi to that kind of restaurant.

"Well duh! If she was going to take me to some commoner place for half of our date I was going to take her to a nice place for dinner. There was no way I would have won her over if we went to some commoner restaurant. Come on Kaoru... you know I like her. I can't go cheap for Haruhi."

"She wouldn't mind if you went cheap. She would probably even prefer it. I bet she was really out of place at Enju..."

"That's not true. Ever since she joined the Host Club she has been taught how to act a such places. Anyway! After dinner she wanted to walk around some park by her house so we did. We ended up stopping at a bench and talking for hours! We have so much in common it's weird..."

I zone out after that last part... 'so much in common' my ass! We are TWINS! You can't get more 'in common' than that!

I was so deep in my self loathing that I almost missed the end of this... great... story.

"And then, get this Kaoru, we are at her door and she stalls going inside! I could tell with the way that she was fiddling with her house keys. So of course I gave Haruhi what she wanted... not that I was going to complain" Hikaru smirks as he gets lost in his thoughts. "And then, that kiss..."

Oh God! I don't want to hear this.

"The kiss was magical. I swear I could see fireworks. I mean... take one look at Haruhi and what do you see... someone meek and mild mannered right? Wrong! When she wants something she goes for it! I mean..."

"Hikaru! I don't want to hear anymore! I'm tired and I want to go to bed... If you insist on telling me this story then it can wait until a more reasonable time" I say as I turn over in our bed and face away from my brother.

I really didn't need to sound so short with him, but if he kept talking there would be no stopping the tears that are only threatening to spill out. I had to turn away or else he would be able to tell from my face that I was barely holding myself together.

"What the hell Kaoru?! What the fuck is up with you lately? I'm trying to tell you that Haruhi and I are dating and you can't even be happy for me! That's not how brothers are supposed to act toward each other, let alone twins as close as we are! You know... if you started dating someone I would be happy for you. Not moping like you appear to be doing."

"I am happy for you Hikaru" I lie through my teeth, "I really am, but I'm tired and it's late. I promise tomorrow I will be sufficiently happy for you and Haruhi, ok?"

I turn over signaling the end of the conversation and try to fall asleep. I hear Hikaru sigh at the abrupt end to our disagreement and head off towards the bathroom. As I toss and turn in our bed I knew that my night would be plagued by nightmares; either Haruhi would be kissing my twin... or I would.

Hikaru P.O.V-

What the hell is up with Kaoru recently? I came home from the best night ever and he couldn't even pretend to be happy for me...

I have to cool down after that small argument with Kaoru so I decide to take a shower before I go to bed. I shed my clothe off as I walk into the bathroom and turn on the water. When the temperature reaches a good point I step in and let the water slide down my hardened body.

I was never self-conscious growing up. I mean why would I be... I have great abs and even though I'm not the most jacked person in the world, I have some pretty muscular arms.

As I begin to wash myself, my mind wanders to the night I had with Haruhi and the fight with Kaoru that followed...

I thought he would be happy that our world was expanding outside the two of us. I was so sick of no one being able to tell us apart and then Haruhi came along. She barely knew us and yet here she is... telling us apart when no one else can, not even our parents.

It's actually all thanks to Kaoru that Haruhi and I fell in love. After that "date" when Kaoru was supposed to take her out and I was forced to step in, we kinda bonded. There was no way I could have that be our first date in our relationship so I had to take her out as me asking and not Kaoru.

I wasn't lying to Kaoru when I told him that kiss with Haruhi was fantastic. She is exactly what I'm looking for in a girlfriend. She is smart, surprisingly funny, and pretty once she actually puts an effort into her appearance.

I wrap up my shower, turn off the water, and put on my pajama bottoms. I've never been one to sleep with a shirt unlike Kaoru. Even though we go shirtless many times for the Club, I've noticed he hates being shirtless in only my presence.

Especially recently...

There is nothing wrong with Kaoru not wanting to flaunt himself when there is no one around... I shouldn't be worried. Right?

All this thinking is beginning to give me a headache. I crawl into bed and turn out the light next to my side of the bed.

Hummm, if I'm dating Haruhi... should I get my own room? was the last thought I had before I closed my eyes and dream of Haruhi and I together.

Oh my goodness! Poor Kaoru! Don't worry Kaoru, Hikaru will come around eventually... maybe... possibly... What's going to happen when Kaoru finds out Hikaru wants his own room? Will Kaoru find someone to love? Will Haruhi ruin everything that is good between the twins? Ahhhh... Im just kidding, but there will definitely be some angst in this story so be prepared.

I hope you guys are enjoying this story so far. I'm trying to get out as many chapters as I can before school starts... I gotta move in on Saturday sooooo TIME CRUNCH! AHHHH! BTW Enju is a real restaurant in Tokyo

Please R&R! The Hitachiin twins and I thank you for reading.
