Chapter 4: A Date with….Hunny!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A/N: I know I haven't updated in a while but I've been having technical difficulties. My computer is—a piece of crap. This is the fourth time I've had to have it fixed for the same problem. Hopefully they fixed it correctly this time.

Kaoru was bored. He knew what today was. How could he not when Hikaru had been brooding all day like a pissed off cat?

Hikaru was suspicious of this entire thing. He trusted his brother but the plan was insane. How could they just let the others have a free chance at Haruhi?

What if she wants one of them? What she realizes that she loves them and by the time I get my date she is just ignores me? I hate being last! I hate it! I should be first.

He pouted. Life sucked. He knew he loved her more than anyone except for maybe his brother. His world hinged on her and Kaoru. What would he do if she rejected him before he had a shot?

"Let's go to work," Kaoru said quietly.

Kaoru was reasonable about the plan. He didn't want Haruhi to choose them because she didn't feel there were other choices. He wanted her to love because she did not because he was the last one left. Sharing her with Hikaru was a sacrifice he was willing to make if Haruhi loved him. So, when he concocted this plan he had that in mind. She would choose them because she loved them not because she was tricked or manipulated.

Hikaru barely nodded at his brother.

This afternoon is going to be such a waste. Hunny would most likely drag Haruhi to a toy store or a cake emporium or even—Hikaru shivered at the thought—that little tea place down on the main road. That place with the lace and giant rabbits, and tea cup shaped seats. Hunny was a frequent customer there. They even knew him by name!

Kaoru groaned as he watched his brother. Hikaru didn't see Hunny as a potential romantic threat. In fact he had boldly protested against the need to do this.

"Kaoru, why should we follow them? It's just Hunny. He likes stuffed animals for crying out loud and he's innocent," Hikaru had retorted.

"If you looked at Hunny-senpai would you think he was a master martial artist?" Kaoru asked.

"Well no," Hikaru answered his face becoming red.

"That just proves my point: appearances are deceiving," Kaoru answered.

Haruhi had thought Hunny would want to do something cute. Boy was she wrong!

"You've never been to a dojo, Haru-chan?" Hunny asked softly.

He clad in his work clothes. Haruhi had dressed casually just like he had requested.

"I'm just a little surprised. I thought we would be going to the Bunnies on Ice show," she replied.

It had been a reasonable assumption. Hunny had been going on about that show for days. She knew he had tickets stashed somewhere.

"I've already been three times," he piped cheerfully. "Besides I want a Haru-chan to know a different side of me then my customers do. They just think I'm cute and innocent but Haru-chan knows differently."

"I don't mind that you like cute things. I respect that you act the way you want to not the way everyone expects you to."

Hunny smiled. "I thought I would teach you some self defense moves. You never know when you might need them."

It was a simple lesson but Haruhi grasped the concept quickly. Hunny taught her a few simple blocks and some strikes. It was odd because she had enjoyed the date.

Just five more dates and then I'm done. I've paid back a fourth of the debt, she smiled.

Two hours flew by quick.

Hikaru's mouth dropped as he watched the date. Hunny was teaching Haruhi! There was no tea party?

Kaoru just smirked at his shocked brother. Don't underestimate anyone even someone as seemly innocent as Hunny-senpai.

The twins continued to peer into the dojo's window.

"Thank you, Hunny-senpai. I had a good time," Haruhi said as they walked at the door.

"I'm glad, Haruhi," Hunny said as he gently kissed her cheek.

Haruhi gasped at Hunny's action.

Hiding in the bushes the twins looked at each other. The same thought echoing through their heads.

He is so dead!
