"Melancholy is the pleasure of being sad." ~Victor Hugo
A tear rolled down Yuki's cheek, and he stumbled to his feet. "No you're not..." He looked to Kaoru. "You don't care. You never did." He whimpered, wiping the tear from his face. "Stop being so dramatic Mr. Masamune." Kyoya walked out, gaining both of the boys attention. "One, he was only fulfilling his duty of being a host. You must understand, after all, your father does run the multimillionaire Masamune Armaments company. Two, even if he did feel the same. I would not allow you two to have any relations. It would require for him to leave the hosts, and I will be honest, him and Hikaru are two of the most popular hosts we have." Kyoya finished, pressing his glasses back to the bridge of his nose. "Way to kill the boys dreams, that wasn't very host like Kyoya." Kaoru glared up at the stern male before standing himself. "I saved you from breaking his heart." He said simply, before turning around, and simply walking back into the Host Club. Yuki stood where he was before, in complete silence. "Me and Hikaru do like you... Just so you know." He went to walk back into the Host Club, but Yuki reached out, and grabbed Kaoru's shoulder. "No revolution is worth anything... Unless it can defend itself..." He said. "Huh?" Kaoru was confused, and so, turned to face Yuki. "If you like me... Prove it." He whispered before stepping back. "I will..." Kaoru whispered, before making his way back into the Host Club. Yuki went on his own way, turning, and going to the cafeteria. For the span of the rest of the day, Yuki spent his time exploring the campus of Ouran Academy, and examining the several clubs around. Though his mind was stuck on Hikaru and Kaoru the span of the time. He truly hoped things would work out. By the time the day was finished, he found himself at the kendo club. He found the club a peculiar place for him, as he didn't enjoy fighting at all. By this time, he began to head home. He soon found himself back at his home, the Masamune Estate, as his family and business were based in this very city. He decided to conclude the day, by eating dinner, and going to bed.
Next Day
Yuki found himself thinking of the twins all day, once more, which slightly affected his attention in his classes. By the time the classes were over, Yuki made his way over the the post it board, to read what clubs are doing today. Apparently today the host club was holding a special occasion, due to the fine weather outside, they were all dressing up in Edo period Yukata's, or in other words, samurai styled outfits. Yuki certainly knew he wasn't going to let himself miss the opportunity to see this. He began to make his way to the courtyard. When he arrived, he saw the most beauteous scene. The Host club surrounded by the girls as usual, but the real beauty was the Sakura leaves falling from the trees, it was like they were attracted to the boys. It was magical. "Yuuuuuuuuukiiiiii..." A voice whispered from behind him, and he whipped around, just to see who it was. "Kana! Don't sneak up on me!" He exclaimed, and gently took by the arm, dragging her behind a bush. "Why are you here?!" He questioned her. "I wanted to see Haruhi! I've heard he's so cute and nice!" She squealed. "So why are yooou here?" She asked with a grin. "Business." He answered abruptly, stopping with that. "Hello there." Two familiar heads popped around each side of the bush. "Who might this be Yuki?" Hikaru questioned. "Uh, she's my older sister, Kana." He hesitated, and looked down at his lap. "Hika-Kun. Kaoru-Kun." She addressed the brothers, and stood. "Where might Haruhi be?" She asked. "We don't know. Why don't you look?" The brothers asked in unison. "We can take care of Yuki-Kun for you." They grinned. "Fine. Don't ruin him." She commanded, and walked off into the crowds. In a moments notice, the twins went around the bush, and knelt down beside Yuki, they both wore colorful Yukata's of clearly, high quality. "Hai Yuki. What do you think of our Kimono's?" Asked Hikaru, as he looked at what Yuki was wearing, the usual Academy uniform. "U-Uh... Y-Yes... I-I like them very much..." In the moment it took, Yuki became squeamish and nervous again. Kaoru took a short breath, and put on a soft smile. "Yuki... It's alright..." He gently placed his hand on Yuki's back. "Okay?" He asked. Yuki slowly looked down, a blush on his face now. "O-Okay." He whispered shyly, and looked back up at Kaoru, with a new found smile. "Yuuuukiiii..." Hikaru whispered with a grin. Yuki turned his head to Hikaru quickly, wondering what he wanted. Hikaru placed a finger beneath Yuki's chin, and led him closer. "C'mere..." He whispered. Yuki allowed Hikaru to lead him closer, their lips nearly touching, only before Hikaru moved aside, and closer to Yuki's ear. "Kaoru told me what you said yesterday... Kaoru is not the only one who likes you..." Hikaru chuckled quietly before backing away once more. Yuki watched Hikaru for a moment. "H-Hikaru..." He whispered, before biting on his lip. "Seems he liked hearing that, yes Kaoru?" Hikaru grinned. "Seems so... But would we three really be able to have something going behind Kyoya's back?" Kaoru asked. Yuki looked down at his hands. "No... That's not likely." He sighed. "Kyoya won't get in my way. I don't know about you." Hikaru said, with a determined tone. "Then it's decided." Kaoru smiled. "All I know is that I want this..." Yuki finished.
Later
"The point of this is?" Yuki asked, as he knelt on the floor of Hikaru and Kaoru's room, wearing a Jinbei. It consisted of Blue, Pink, and Red colors, with the yellow and blue Masamune family crest on the center of the back of it. "We wanted to see you in a Jinbei, and why anything less than a custom made Jinbei?" Hikaru grinned, raising his phone, and snapping a picture. "H-Hey! No pictures!" Yuki snapped, only to receive a laugh in response from the twins. "But you look so cute!" Kaoru laughed, and copied Hikaru's action of taking a photo. "Hey! No pictures I said!" Yuki exclaimed once more, pulling the top of the Jinbei over his legs, as the shorts were uncomfortably short. "Aww... No fun..." The twins complained in unison. "Keep complaining and I'll take it off altogether." Yuki said, trying to make a threat, but realized the twins were grinning. "Please, don't let us stop you." Hikaru chuckled. "Not what I meant." Yuki glared up at him, and Kaoru playfully shoved Hikaru. "Yeah! I don't know what you're thinking." Kaoru said sarcastically, almost laughing. "I meant I would get changed!" He scolded the two. "Shame." Hikaru chuckled, and blew a kiss to Yuki. Yuki looked down at his hands as he grew a blush, and began to fiddle with his hands. "Pink is a good color on you yah'know." Kaoru smiled, his gaze strong on his target. "I-I've never though about that... you really think so?" Yuki asked shyly, biting on his lip once more. "Indeed I do..." Kaoru answered. "I agree as well." Hikaru smiled. "You two are too sweet... You're killing me..." Yuki giggled. "Oh? Is that so? Maybe we've been too easy on him." Hikaru chuckled, and looked to Kaoru. "No... I think I like treating him like this..." Kaoru replied, obviously deep in thought. "I think it's about time for me to head home... Father will be curious to as where I am." Yuki stood. "Would you like you're Jinbei back?" He asked. "No, I think you should keep it, you look very attractive with it on." Kaoru and Hikaru smiled, standing and escorted Yuki out. "See you tomorrow!" The twins waved to him. "Yeah! Bye!" Yuki answered, and left.
