''Because...I...Love her too, I love Haruhi Fujioka!''

Hikaru's face froze with shock.

''Oh'' Hikaru swallowed ''I am sorry''

''sorry for what, you're not going out''

''what? So you think she would go out with you before me?''

Kaoru turned over '' I can't believe you said that'' before Hikaru could apologise Kaoru ignored him

It was the next morning and their plane was at eleven. Kaoru and Hikaru didn't say a word to each other packing, on the way to the airport or even on the plane. When they arrived it was late and they went to bed without any words to each other, nothing but dead silence

Hikaru was asleep when Kaoru awoke. Kaoru quickly got dressed and went to school. Hikaru followed fifteen minutes after.

''were not speaking'' Kaoru said to Haruhi after she asked if he was okay

''you know I can't believe he said that''

''said what?''

''Haruhi...you'd never fall in love with Hikaru would you?''

''what! No why would I...I've never really thought about it...I don't know'' she admitted

Kaoru turned to the door when Hikaru walked in...What am I going to do? Kaoru quickly grabbed Haruhi and kissed her. Hikaru watched in jealousy as Kaoru made it look like he was the one to pull away. Hikaru ran out, he wanted to forget what he had seen and go greet his guests, without Kaoru.

Haruhi wiped her lips and looked up at Kaoru

''why did you just do that?''

''uhr...I slipped?''

''no, you... you only did it because Hikaru was watching didn't you?''

''yes..'' Kaoru sighed

Haruhi sat on the sofa inviting Kaoru to sit beside her

''wanna talk about it?''

Kaoru nodded

''well...HIKARU IS IN LOVE WITH YOU'' Kaoru held his hands over his mouth as he didn't mean to literally blurt it out

''...oh..''

''and...'' Kaoru was fed up of lying to himself ''so do I''

''...double oh'' Haruhi tried not to make eye contact

''it's alright... I know you don't love me, and you never will, no one will'' Kaoru started crying '' But I wanted Hikaru to be happy, as he's actually got a chance. I don't want to be left alone... not again'' Kaoru was crying more and more, he could taste the salty tears every second as each one rolled down his face ''We were always together..and know were being torn apart. I knew this would happen I just didn't want to admit it... Mother always told me it would happen one day. But one day I would find someone who loves me just as much'' he wiped his face as he got up and walked towards the door ''I doubt it'' he added

Haruhi's eyes were watering in shock; she had no idea how Kaoru felt. She ran towards him

''Wait...please'' she tugged the back of Kaoru's shirt and knelt down while crying

''you said you didn't want to be left alone again? It happened before?''

Still facing the opposite way Kaoru answered

''yea...Hikaru met this girl, Angela'' he sniffed then continued ''he loved her so much he couldn't stop talking about her. I couldn't handle it. I told him it was either me or her, he chose her obviously and mother told me it would be the same as me, I would find someone too. I never did...all those years waiting for something that wouldn't come, and watching Hikaru have all the fun and love. I tried to run away, or worse...I was going to end my own life all because I couldn't have someone as dear to me as Angela was to Hikaru ''

''then what happened?''

''I left a note for Hikaru, and he came after me... and that's all that happened''

''what happened to Angela?''

''she moved to Italy, and we never saw her again''

''oh...'' Haruhi said still crying on the floor

Kaoru went to turn but as soon as his angle was the same as Haruhi's she leaped up and hugged him. He held her and kissed her on the forehead

''dont cry''

Haruhi looked up with her giant brown eyes and fell back into his arms

''we need to go see our guests, come on''

Haruhi nodded and they walked out of the door. Kaoru held out his hand and Haruhi took it; but as soon as they approached the hall they both immediately released one another. They looked at each other and walked to the opposite sides of the room. Haruhi went west and Kaoru, east. Kaoru was facing Hikaru as he sat down. Soon as he sat half a dozen girls joined him. Haruhi sat with his most popular guest, Seya. She was odd, But Haruhi liked her because she was bubbly and fun to talk to. She knew Seya would never love her like all the other guests did. Haruhi liked this as a fact that they could be close friends without Seya trying to kiss her.

Hikaru stared at Kaoru who was staring at Haruhi.

''Hikaru? Answer me!''

''what?'' Hikaru asked when he noticed a guest talking to him

''I said, which is better commoners tea, or our grinded tea?''

''definitely commoners'' he nodded without interest

''hmm, the twins aren't talking...still?'' Kyoya asked Haruhi

''huh, oh..no their not.''

''shame, could you go talk to them? They really open up to you''

''fine'' She said leaving Seya, apologising. Seya nodded not insulted by her leave

Haruhi walked over to Kaoru and dragged him to Hikaru

''oww..'' Kaoru said

''talk, now!'' she demanded

They both were silent

''fine then, we'll do this the hard way'' she dragged them both out of the hall with crying girls wondering why their hosts had left them. They walked into music room 3.

''will you two seriously talk! I mean why are you fighting? Because of a stupid little crush? You two have been so close for years! And you're going to let this ruin it!''

'' i guess i am'' Hikaru said in the background

Haruhi slapped him. ''shut up! You are pathetic! You both are! Just make up now!''

Kaoru ran up towards me and grabbed my arm as i was about to slap him again.

''stop it Haruhi'' he placed his hand on Hikaru's cheek. Hikaru looked at him and immediately they hugged eachother.

Haruhi walked out of the room, proud of what she had done, she smiled and watched from behind the door

''Hikaru im sorry!''

''no i'm sorry Kaoru''

''Haruhi is all yours okay?''

''...no, you should go for it''

''what!''

''I said you can have her, she's in love with you''

''Why are you being so selfish Hikaru!''

Haruhi walked back in, furious

''I LEAVE YOU FOR ONE MINUTE AND YOUR FIGHTING AGAIN!''

''i dont want anything to do with you anymore'' Hikaru said

''ditto'' Kaoru walked out and dragged Haruhi by the hand with him..
