And I'm back. Lol. I just wanted to say thanks to those that commented on my story and added it to their alert or favorites. I also wanted to mention that I know there are some writers who quit a story or put it on HIATUS, etc… I can assure I'm not one of them ^_~ Tee Hee. But it doesn't hurt to be encouraged. Thank you all and I promise I will not leave this story unfinished.
Class passed by, boring as usual. For Kaoru, nothing functioned quite right. He would zone out during lectures and raise his hand when there was no question. He'd keep his chin nestled deep within his palm, his eyes glazed over. And all though he got a few displeased looks from the teachers, he didn't notice. The only thing that flickered in and out of his mind was the thought of Hikaru kissing him.
It was obsessive.
A fantasy.
But he loved it so much.
It wasn't the first time Hikaru had kissed him. No. That, no doubt, happened years ago when they were still babies. The problem was that Hikaru had kissed him for the first time since he had developed such haunting feelings for his twin.
He didn't worry about Hikaru loving him back though. There were tell tale signs, especially when it came to the host club. The act was far too real, far from an act at all. Sure they were brothers, twins even but could that really stop two people from being together? If they truly loved each other?
A smile crept its way across his face.
Ours is a brotherly love but under that familial exterior I know there's more than just blood ties. He reveled in the fact that he was the only person who could tell, who knew such a taboo, something so dark and wicked and so damn right.
The school bell let out a dull thud signifying the end of class. Hikaru held out a hand to his brother, inviting him to join his conversation with Haruhi and almost mechanically they positioned themselves on either side of her, draping their arms carelessly around her shoulders, their fingers gripping into each other's uniforms.
"As I was saying," she continued in a soft voice. "I'm not sure Senpai knows that he kissed me. I don't get it." She dawned a confused expression, one eyebrow quirked and the other narrowed. "But I mean," she fiddled with her hands. "It was just a father daughter exchange. Nothing special." Rose highlighted her cheeks.
Hikaru and Kaoru glanced at each other impishly before lowering themselves to Haruhi's height, their lips dangerously close to her hears. "Incest," they whispered in unison.
Haruhi's eyes grew wide with horrow, some invisible force pushing her under their arms. They turned to face her. "Wh-what!"
"Oh. Did we…" Kaoru began.
"…scare you?" Hikaru finished.
There was silence.
"It's ok Haruhi. We were only joking," they whistled in unison, fingers interlocking as they continued to the music room.
Moments later, the entire host club opened the doors to a tropical paradise.
Fruits decorated the tables in reds, blues, and yellows. There was banana cream pie and delightful juices being passed around, the smells creating a sweet maple scent. Hunny gorged himself with chocolate and whipped cream, Mori dabbing the messes at the corner of the smaller boys lips, their eyes occasionally locking. Tamaki spent his time exaggerating his customers' beauty over the desserts and Kyoya fiddled away with his small laptop whilst Haruhi shared memories of days long past and of the origin of many desserts. Her customers looked on at her with adoration.
Their socializing, however, came to a halt when a squeal in the corner of the room became a little too loud. The other host club members immediately stopped their actions to stray a peak at the scene causing such an uproar, their eyes widening and a few gasps escaping as well. Hikaru was leaning over Kaoru…on the couch, planting a small kiss against his neck.

An awkward silence followed the end of the host club. Kaoru kept his eyes on the carpeting, drawing small meaningless shapes in the design; Hikaru kept his glued to the ceiling, noticing the small glare the lights cast on the roof.
"What happened back there?" Haruhi asked, her voice laced with a condescension.
Hikaru rolled his eyes. Payback for us teasing her earlier, he thought annoyingly.
"The love between my sons…it makes father so happy," Tamaki gleamed.
By this time Haruhi had found herself standing between the twins again, facing the opposite direction as they. She peered at each through her peripherals, a smirk playing on her lips.
She let out a small snicker and an even smaller blush.
"Twin…cest."
It was a mere whisper.
One no one else had heard.
Just a small voice against the wind.
But still, it was there.
It was a surprise.
One that would awaken the twins and force their feelings to the surface.

"Well boys," she walked to the door, glancing over her shoulder. "My father is expecting me. I'd better go. See you tomorrow," she waved earnestly before shutting the door, the click of the handle filling the silence.
"She's right," Mori continued. "It is getting pretty late." He strolled over to the dessert table and wrapped his arms gently around Hunny. "Bye."
Pretty soon everyone but the twins had filed out of the host club.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, Kaoru spoke up. "W-we better go. The limo's probably waiting."
He leaned down to grab his bag, slinging it around his shoulder after toying with the strap. He motioned to get up from the sofa but was stopped when Hikaru grabbed his cheek, forcing Kaoru's eyes on his.
Without a word, he planted a small kiss on Kaoru's bottom lip.
The connection was electric.
He backed away cautiously, innately scared of Kaoru's reaction.
The younger twin flushed, small tears climbing down his cheek like water serpents.
Hikaru's eyes filled with worry. "Are you okay? Did I hurt you? Did I take it to far? Oh my god, I'm sorry." He pulled Kaoru into an embrace.
Kaoru chuckled slightly before brushing his lips against the corner of Hikaru's jawbone. Slightly pulling away from Hika , he placed another gentle kiss on his cheek and then his chin and finally his lips, deepening it as Hikaru's eyes fluttered closed.
Okie dokie guys. Another finished chapter. I hope it turned out well. I'm worried it seems a little rushed. I definitely tried making it longer though XD And of course, comments are always welcome! Oh btw, I don't have a beta so I apologize for any spelling or grammar errors, etc…
