Sleep for Now.
Dark orbs watched the eyes that stared back into his. Mori even asked their customers to wait. He did not understand what was so wrong or bizarre into taking Kaoru home. All he did was help a friend. Not like Hikaru would remember that his brother was left at the school with no one to look after him.
"I came back because I had forgotten my notebook, that is when I see Kaoru sitting alone in this room when you, Hikaru, are supposed to pick him up right after letting Haruhi home." Kyouya said and Hikaru seemed to remember that he had to pick up Kaoru; he shook his head and sighed. "I could not leave him here with no cell phone to call your house and not knowing when you would remember he was still here." Kyouya said and Hikaru seemed at a loss of words. Kaoru was sitting again by the window, sadly looking down. Tamaki looked still a bit confused though Kyouya did not know why. But he would get Tamaki out of it in a second.
"I guess the reason you forgot has to do with the fact that Haruhi was with you in your house." Kyouya casually said and got the reaction he wanted. Haruhi looked furiously at him, Hikaru blushed madly, and Tamaki forgot completely about his existence. Everything back to normal. He was the evil insensitive, Tamaki the idiot. The only thing that was not normal was the secret glance he and Kaoru shared. Through that they told each other exactly how they felt – without having to mention, without having to express in words.
But Haruhi was not very happy. The way he said she was at his house made everyone think they were something more than friends. And in her mind they weren't.
"Kyouya the only reason that I was in Hikaru's house was because my father got home late and I had forgotten my key. I was back at home by 9!" She said, defending herself. But lately Kyouya was becoming quite protective with the younger Hiitachin's feelings. And Haruhi was the reason why Kaoru got hurt.
"I did not ask what you were doing Haruhi and I have no interest on knowing. If you need to tell anyone, tell Kaoru after all he was the one forgotten because of you." He said and glared at her. Her eyes were wide and she turned her attention to the redhead by the window. God he was so good at getting exactly what he wanted out of people, it was moments like this that he was proud of being Ootori Kyouya.
"Don't worry Haruhi, Next time I won't forget my phone because after all a friend can't help me without causing this much attention from everyone." He said, smiling the whole time, but there was sarcasm in his voice and in his eyes there was annoyance.
"Kaoru I am sorry, I should have seen that you were not there…" She tried to make an excuse and Kaoru just shook his head.
"It's ok. But next time please tell my brother not to make such a fuss about it. I actually did not know you knew that I had arrived at home yesterday Hikaru." He said directing his attention to his brother. Hikaru went near him, eyes pleading.
"I am sorry I did not know you didn't have you phone with you." He said and Kaoru just turned his attention to the school grounds again.
"It is ok; it is a nice theme to use today in our act anyway." He said and without looking at Hikaru he went to sit in his designated spot. Hikaru followed still muttering some lame excuses but Kaoru seemed to be ignoring him.
The ladies entered, Kyouya received them, apologizing for the delay and saying they would have 15 minutes free every day this week with their designated Hosts. The screamed their girlish squeals and he returned to his notebook. He could feel Tamaki's blue eyes glance at him from time to time, not like he would return the glance anyway. Like he had said before, ignoring Tamaki was easier than to be ignored.
The Host Club ended 15 minutes late, like promised. Some girls had already left, some asked for a couple more minutes which Kyouya gave so they would not complain about the delay.
The Hiitachins and Haruhi did not have anymore customers for the day so they just went to do something else. Hikaru went to talk to Haruhi who seemed to be really angry at him. Kaoru sat by Kyouya's side and stared at him.
"Is there something on my face?" Kyouya asked without looking at him. Kaoru smiled and looked somewhere else.
"No, I was just observing you - like you do to me sometimes." He said and Kyouya looked at him, he was a bit shocked to know Kaoru had noticed. Kaoru looked back at him and smiled.
"It seems I underestimated you. If it is bothering you I will stop." He said and continued his calculations; he would not explain the mixed up feelings he was beginning to have for the boy. He would not dare to say all the things he thought, to say that Kaoru wasn't alone in this. Kaoru knew anyway. Kaoru just shrugged.
"It is ok…I don't mind. It's actually nice to be noticed; being invisible all the time sucks." He said and Kyouya chuckled at the statement. He totally knew what Kaoru meant.
"But I am not the only one you observe. You are always looking at everyone." He said and Kyouya again wondered how he got this things. He was always doing his act perfectly so how did he have time to see what Kyouya was doing? And most importantly why did he observe Kyouya's moves and glances?
"I have to. I am the only one that does so, to know if everything is going as expected for the customers." He said and Kaoru looked back at him.
"Without you Kyouya, this club would not exist. Tamaki would bankrupt it." Kaoru said and Kyouya gave a small laugh. It looked like half of a smile and an improved chuckle, but it was something.
Before they could say anything they heard some goodbyes. Haruhi was quickly exiting the room with Hikaru by her side. Apparently the whole scene they had made before the Host Club was for nothing.
Kaoru gave a long sigh. Kyouya looked at him form the corner of his eyes. It was a heartbreaking scene - he looked tired, sad, disappointed, exactly the opposite of what he used to be.
"I bet she forgot her key again." He said and chuckled, it was more a suppressed sob than a chuckle but he tried to appear cheerful after all.
"I will drive you home then." Kyouya said without looking at the boy. He could almost feel Kaoru's smile at him. Ok, he was becoming a bit too friendly with the boy. But that didn't mean anything right? He knew the answer, but like some others times, he chose not to see it.
Tamaki watched Kyouya organize his things as Kaoru waited for him. They would leave together again, three times in two days. Kyouya would drive him home and God knows what they did inside that limo!
They seemed not notice his presence as they exited the room together, not too close, but closer than they use to be. Actually Tamaki did not know Kyouya liked Kaoru as friend or as anything for that matter. And he felt so lost. Usually he would talk about these things with Kyouya but Kyouya wasn't there, he could not say to his face what he felt.
He sighed and got his own things. Honey stopped him before he reached the door.
"Tama-chan are you ok?" He asked, puppy eyes, lower lip dirty with whipped cream. Tamaki smiled kindly and nodded. Honey stopped smiling and looked like crying, although he looks a bit…dumb all the time he was quite smart. "Can cake make you feel better?" He asked offering him a piece of strawberry cake one of the fangirls cooked for him. He shook his head and left Honey, who was already on Mori's arms being consoled by the tall guy.
Tamaki did not know what was going on between Kyouya and Kaoru but he would find out. He would find out why Mommy was ignoring him. He would find out why did his heart ached every time he saw Kaoru and Kyouya together, ached more than when he knew Haruhi was with Hikaru, ached more than any pain he had ever felt.
Kyouya felt at peace by being only in Kaoru's presence. They could talk about anything or not talk at all and they would be happy. They would be comfortable - like now.
Kaoru was blabbering about one of the fangirls and her questions and Kyouya was just listening, nodding occasionally. And Kaoru knew he was listening, knew he was paying attention. He did not have to say all the time that yes he had heard and that mommy paid attention. But then his mind drifted off again. Why did he always have to compare his time with Kaoru – that had begun only yesterday – with the time he had with Tamaki?
But he was brought back from his wondering when they reached a part of Kaoru's way home that was filled with traffic where many cars were horning. The younger boy yawned and supported his head in Kyouya's shoulder.
Kyouya tried to act normally and don't tense up but he felt he couldn't. He swallowed hard not exactly knowing what to do. He could not shrug Kaoru off for a reason unknown to him. But he did not know what do.
How did they become so intimate anyway?
"Kyouya-…we are going to be in this car for quite some time so why don't you just relax? I know you are not use to other being so close but just for once don't think so much." Kaoru said like reading his thoughts. Kyouya sighed and tried to relax in his seat; Kaoru had not called him senpai…he would have to think about that later. Kaoru was half lying on the back of the limo, his head moving trying to "soften" Kyouya's shoulder. He entangled one of his arms with Kyouya's and closed his eyes; apparently he had not slept much at home. And Kyouya assumed that the twins had gotten separate rooms, otherwise he would no be trying to get human warmth to sleep. Apparently that was the only way Kaoru slept.
So he was not the only one doing the comparisons then. Kaoru was probably thinking about how better support was his brother's shoulder, or how he smelt differently, or how his arms were thinner. Or how Kyouya did not rest his head on top of his.
After five minutes he heard Kaoru's breathing even, he was asleep already and it seemed like they would not get to his home anytime soon.
He soon discovered why Kaoru felt more comfortable at sleeping with someone beside him. It was warmer and even though Kyouya did not feel his arm anymore, it was more comfortable, more soothing. The perfect lullaby.
Soon Kyouya drifted off to sleep too, his head fell on top of Kaoru's. It was probably the first well slept hour, or hours for both since Haruhi Fujioka entered the Host Club.
For now, they did not know the consequences of their actions, they did not know that the King was noting something; they did not know Hikaru wasn't able to pay attention to Haruhi if he knew Kaoru was with Kyouya. For now they would sleep.

Now Kyouya had even a bigger problem. He could wake up Kaoru on his first well slept hours in months; he could take Kaoru into the house on his arms which was crazy and out of question, or even worse, call Hikaru and ask him to pick up his brother. Boy, he was in trouble.
