Mission Accomplished.

Kyouya and Kaoru were still sleeping when the car arrived at the Hiitachin mansion. Kaoru was still clinging to Kyouya's arm and Kyouya's head was still on top of his. The chauffer watched the cute but also weird scene not knowing what to do. He had never seen young Ootori look so calm and relaxed and knew he did not want to be seen like that. Now…how could he wake up Ootori Kyouya?

"Sir…-clears throat- sir…" Kyouya slowly opened his eyes and after noticing just exactly was going on he straightened himself in his seat as gentle as he could, trying not to wake up Kaoru. The chauffer held the door open so they could walk out of the car. "We have arrived." He announced.

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.

"It's ok John, thanks but you don't have to hold the door." His way of saying stop standing there you saw enough already.

While Kyouya tried to make his decision amber orbs watched the black limo that had just arrived. Kyouya did not have to bother himself with what to do since Hikaru would do that decision for him - though Hikaru was not expecting the sight of Kaoru sleeping peacefully onto Kyouya.

"What the hell!" He almost yelled when he saw Kyouya gently looking at his brother sleeping form and Kaoru sleeping peacefully, head resting on Kyouya's shoulder.

Kyouya did not see that coming. He had lost the count of how many unwanted moments flew by in the past three days. Three counting the night Kaoru saw him crying at the park.

"He fell asleep. I do not want to wake him." Was all he said. Kyouya did not do explanations or anything of that matter. He did not need to; one word from him was all people knew they could know. He was not open and actually couldn't find a proper explanation as to why he allowed Kaoru to sleep in his arms.

Hikaru looked like he could kill someone right then and there. And Kyouya felt like he was the most wanted target.

"Give me him." Hikaru said like he was talking about an object and not a person. Kyouya felt a bit upset about that.

"Let me take him, you won't be able to carry him." Kyouya stated. Though Hikaru hated to admit, it was true. He didn't have enough strengh to carry Kaoru all the way up to his room. He stepped aside as if saying 'just do it and get out of my sight afterwards'.

Kyouya slowly moved Kaoru so he was lying in his lap. In that same position he stood up and carried Kaoru through the gardens, into the house, upstairs to his bedroom. Like he thought, they had gotten separate rooms. Hikaru watched and not only had he felt angry he felt hurt. Kaoru never slept out of his house, especially not clinging onto someone that it is not him.

For anyone but Hikaru that would be a lovely scene. The all so closed and scary Ootori Kyouya was gently carrying the red head to his room. He was letting everyone see his sweet side though Hikaru did not know he had one. What surprised him was how comfortable his brother was on Kyouya's arms. His head was on his shoulder while one arm was around his neck and the other was holding to his shirt on his chest. Kyouya had one arm wrapped around Kaoru's waist and the other on his knees. And he did not seem to mind.

Kyouya left the boy on his king size bed and put the covers on top of him. Kaoru shivered from the lack of warmth and Kyouya knew he would soon wake up; but he left anyway, though he liked the boy as a friend or God knows what more, he would be murdered if he dared to sleep beside Kaoru. And it was too soon for that anyway.

As soon as Kyouya left Hikaru sat down on the bed and caressed his brother's cheek, wondering what had happened to them. He could not blame Kaoru for trusting Kyouya, and he himself had seen the soft side of him; probably the side Tamaki saw all the time. But what he didn't understand was how come he didn't know his brother needed his warmth to sleep, if sleeping in separate rooms was really a good idea, how was this affecting Kaoru…he knew nothing about his twin anymore. He wanted to be Kyouya, to be able to touch Kaoru like he did, to listen to Kaoru's problems again, to have him near…to feel his warmth so close to his body on a cold night. He hated Kyouya now…for knowing more, for having more of Kaoru to himself and leaving Hikaru without nothing.


Kyouya couldn't help but feel alone on his way back home. He ate alone in his room, slept alone in his bed. Before Haruhi, Tamaki would usually go to his house every week and spend the night. Though they did not share the same bed, having Tamaki a few feet away from him was good enough for him. His body seemed to emanate warmth, seemed to make everything brighter.

Kyouya made his lonely way to his suite and let himself fall as soon as he closed the door. He slid down the wall and sat there watching his cold and empty room.

He missed Tamaki more than he had ever missed anything or anyone in his life. He missed his hugs, his whines, his puppy eyes…everything that was Tamaki.

He took a deep breath. He wanted Tamaki to be Kaoru at the limo, he wanted to feel him near again, he wanted like a child to be held by him; to listen to soft whispers of lovely things, lullabies, small kisses…He was always controlling and demanding but with Tamaki he could let go of that façade. He could be himself. Many were the times when he was tired from a fight he just had with his dad, and though he never said a thing, and dared not to mention to anyone such thing happened, Tamaki would hold him and say supportive things until he felt better. He wanted that back. But he knew that would not happen.

God he would give up his fortune if that meant one day alone with the man he loves.

And the tears were coming again. Kaoru was a substitute for Tamaki, so was he for Hikaru. They were not ready to love again, they only looked for comfort. For someone that would fill in the blanks left by others.

And right now he was more than glad to have found someone. Kaoru would never mean to him what Tamaki meant, like he would never mean as much as Hikaru; but neither of them cared. They were and are both tired of being ignored; of being invisible. Just the fact they were noticed and cared, and maybe even liked for someone was enough. It meant less pain.

Kyouya sighed and shivered as he swallowed the tears. He stood up and without bothering about changing his clothes, organizing his things; he fell in his bed. More like threw himself in it.

He would sleep his cold, Tamaki-less sleep and face another day. At least now he had someone to share the day. He hated to admit but he was a very dependant, needy person.


If Kyouya thought the day before was awkward he did not know the true meaning of the word.

He arrived at Ouran High School and everyone was already there. Hikaru seemed to be protectively beside his brother, glaring at Kyouya.

Tamaki was glaring at both twins and glancing at him. Haruhi seemed a bit annoyed; apparently this dinner at the Hiitachin mansion was not very pleasant. Mori and Honey were at a corner observing them from afar.

Kyouya ignored everything and watched every other student that attended their school. He thought he would be alone for a while, that no one would bother him especially in such a weird situation. He wasn't actually bothered by the presence, he was bothered by the glares and stares and girlish squeals and every other background effect made by anyone of their friends or fangirls just because Kaoru was coming near him.

Kaoru stood by his side, he looked half irritated and half embarrassed. He had a faint blush on his cheeks, and apparently the few well slept hours made a huge difference since he didn't have anymore a tired look. Sad and disappointed, yes; tired, no.

"Hikaru won't look at me now. The only time he did was this morning and he glared at me. How did he find me yesterday?" He asked. Kyouya recalled the frightening moment and the anger in Hikaru's eyes.

"Pretty much in the same way you fell asleep." Kyouya said. Kaoru's blush got a shade darker. He felt both happy and worried at the same time. Happy because Kaoru was rather a cute sight right now, worried because Hikaru glared at him with even more anger.

"So I really did that…I am sorry I am not myself when I am sleepy." He said rubbing the back of his neck nervously. Kyouya glanced at him; Hikaru's glare burning holes through him.

"Don't worry. I understand." Was all he said. Kaoru nodded and looked somewhere else still by his side.

"Kaoru?" The young boy looked at him. He seemed nervous again and even more nervous when Kyouya's eyes met his.

"Yes?" He asked innocently. Kyouya sighed.

"Anything else you would like to mention or ask?" He asked and Kaoru blushed again. Kyouya had to use all his self-control not to smile.

"It is nothing really…just a stupid thing that crossed my head, nothing important you see-"

"Kaoru, spill it." Kyouya said and Kaoru gave a long sigh before saying.

"I was wondering…I know we are not the greatest of the friends but due to latter events, if I could maybe…sleep at your house tonight? I can order my things to be sent to your house, it is just that I am feeling a bit scared when I am alone with Hikaru and lately you have been helping and I have not slept so well in probably six months or so, -"He wouldn't stop blabbering reasons unless Kyouya cut him off with a very short answer.

"Okay." Kyouya said and Kaoru stared at him in disbelief. Kyouya almost laughed at the boy's expression. He, himself did not know why he was allowing Kaoru to spend the night, maybe it was because of the way he was feeling lonely at home, maybe he wanted to picture Kaoru as Tamaki, whatever reason it was, it would be nice to have company for a change.

"Re-really?" Kaoru stuttered a question. Kyouya nodded and Kaoru blinked a few times before calling his home and asking for a few of his personal things.

Kyouya just stood there, ignorant to the fact that he was still being watched, and that two pair of eyes were unhappy with what they were seeing.


Hikaru just could not believe what he had just heard. He called his home to say to his mother to warn the cooks to make Kaoru's favorite meal just to please his brother and what was her answer? 'But Hikaru dear your brother is spending the night out tonight. In your friend's house. Kyo something. Didn't you know?'

How could Kaoru do this? Sleep at Kyouya's house? And since when did anyone sleep in Kyouya's house beside Tamaki? That was Tono's territory only and period. He had to do something.

He being the evil twin right now did not know how he did not know any plan that would work under this situation. He would have to talk to the baka Tono.

He was glad to see Tamaki walking in the bathroom and muttering a quick hello.

"There is something you should know." Hikaru said. Straight to the point. Tamaki turned to him and waited for whatever it was he had to say. He was looking tired and angry, just like Hikaru. "Kaoru is going to spend the night somewhere else tonight." He said and Tamaki shrugged entering one of the bathroom boxers'. "In Kyouya's house." He finished the phrase and Tamaki immediately got out of the boxer and facing Hikaru, inches apart from them. Tamaki looked out of himself.

"Mommy would never do this…Kaoru must be planning something, Mommy would never cheat on daddy…no." Tamaki started mumbling from now on. Hikaru smirked. Mission accomplished; whatever Kaoru and Kyouya planned. It was over.

Question: Do you guys wnat this to be and M rated fic?

Preview:

"Kyouya-senpai…are you and…- she took a deep breath- are you and Kaoru together? As a couple?" This time Kyouya looked. He stared at her trying to understand where did this come from. She blushed deeply but returned his gaze anyway and waited for an answer. Again everyone watched him.

"Why do you ask?" he questioned. This only made him sound guilty but he really needed to know why people were thinking such things – why he was thinking such things. She bit her lower lip apparently regretting asking.

"Well…you never really talked to anyone that much but Tamaki-senpai, which sort of made us wonder if you were with him before...
