Kiss the Cook –Tea can Burn
Warning: Foul language is ahead (That's the main reason this is rated T, but still. Coarse language ahead!)
"Ryota!" The twins called racing down the hall
"What?" I grumbled, dark bags under my half-lidded eyes
"You should come to the host club today!"
"Hell no, Yana wouldn't leave me alone when she saw me dance with Hikaru, and then my parents started freaking out when Yana spread the news to them! I hardly got any sleep last night!"
The twins seemed to ignore my complaints as Karou turned to Hikaru with a pout on his face as he asked, "You danced with Ryota and didn't tell me?"
"I'm sorry Kaoru" Hikaru whispered cupping his brother's cheek in his hand, "I didn't want you to get jealous."
'Oh gag me' I thought bitterly as the twins began to attract the female population of the school
"But you promised to never keep secrets from me Hikaru, it's like you're cheating on me…"
"I wonder what's got Karou so worked up" A girl in the swarm that surrounded me asked.
"I don't know, but I'm curious who that boy with the twins is."
"Ryota!" Karou suddenly exclaimed grabbing my limp hands in his own, "You have to do something with me! It's not fair that Hikaru hogged you all to himself, so how about you come to the host club after school and request Hikaru and I, then we can hangout all by ourselves!" a sly smirk formed on his face and I could only glare.
"What are you up too…" I narrowed my dark eyes at the younger Hitachiin twin
"Me?" Karou feigned innocently, "I'm doing nothing!" he then gave me a sickly sweet smile that made me feel like I was in danger.
"Oh my God! Brotherly love is turning into a love triangle!" the girls in the crowd around us started to shriek, "Ryota, you have to go to the host club!"
"Why me?" I moaned, smacking my palm to my forehead, "This school is crazy…"
"We're only crazy for you Ryota~" the twins purred in unison making a chill run down my spine and the girls' to squee in delight
"I can't wait till the end of school!"
"I know right?"
"I need to tell my friends!"
"I hate them!" I cried out, my face hidden behind my hands, "I hate them so much! Why do they do this to me?!"
"Do you want to know what I think?" Yana asked from her spot across from me on the ground. Today we snuck out to the rose maze to hopefully eat lunch peacefully and without distractions.
"What do you think?" I asked dreading the answer. Knowing my sister she'd try to say the twins liked me or something.
"I think they like you" I fucking knew it
"Yeah right" I said with a roll of the eyes, "Hikaru told me that Karou and him don't hate me, but actually liking me is a bit of a stretch. I'm pretty sure they just find it amusing to torture me."
"It's not torturing, it's teasing!" Yana protested, once again coming to the twins' defense. I've noticed as of late when I complain about the twins she's been trying extremely hard for them not to sound bad, or say that they had reasons for doing the mean things they did, "And they do it because they like you!"
"How could they both like me?! I'm nothing compared to them! They have the looks, grades and everyone thinks that their gods! Right now I'm the Atheist that no one listens to, hell you go to their defense a lot too when I try and say something bad about them. So let me get this straight- You're saying that the twins, one of the many 'Gods' of Ouran like me? How the hell does that even work? Why wouldn't they just pick one of their followers?"
"That's just it!" Yana shouted, "You're not one of their followers, you don't see them as Gods. To you they're actual people. Annoying people, but humans none the less"
"They're not humans! They're devils!"
"That may be so, but I still think they like you."
"You make no sense…" I mumbled pushing my sticky bangs off my forehead
"Just you wait and see. You're going to the host club after school today, yes?"
"Only because the twins are forcing me to go, if it was my choice I wouldn't even touch the place with a twenty foot pole."
"Well, observe and watch how they act around you compared to their other guests."
"Why don't you just do that? I'm gonna have to try and not throw up when they do their 'brotherly love' act…"
"Good idea!" Yana smiled happily, "I'll request Haruhi and check up on you every so often!"
"You're just doing this so you have a reason to see Haruhi…"
"No- I mean yes, that's part of the reason, but I'll observe the twins and tell you my finds after words."
"Alright, and I think we should head back inside, lunch is almost over."
"Alrighty then, I'll see you after school little bro! The theme today is cherry blossoms so try not to die before anything exciting can happen!"
"What?! Sis, I'm gonna have an allergic reaction and die!"
"That's why I told you to try not to die!"
'I hate them, I hate them, I hate them!' I internally roared as I sat at the twins table. For some odd reason they thought it'd be a good idea to force me into the spot between them so I was stuck in the middle of their shameless acts of gayness. Luckily for me the cherry blossoms weren't real; otherwise I'd be dead on the ground right now. And yes, I'm allergic to cherry blossoms, which really sucks because they're so beautiful and scattered around here like dandelions.
"You mean you've never gone to Covent Garden?" Karou asked one of his clients
"No" the girl replied, "All our antiquities come from Portobello road."
"I think you'd like Covent Garden, most of our Victorian pieces are from there." Hikaru sent the girl a smile. They were going to continue their conversation but Hikaru's elbow accidently knocked the cup Karou was holding out of his hands and to the ground. Flinching harshly as the hot beverage grazed my fingers
"Ngh – Mother fucker…" I grunted in pain, pulling my left hand to my chest
"Ryota!" Hikaru and Karou gasped in horror, reaching out Hikaru grabbed my hand and brought the burnt finger to his lips and gently placed it over his lips and much to my disgust ran his tongue over the burn area in an attempt to cool it. While his brother was doing that Karou pulled my body back causing heat to be transferred from one another.
"What the hell are you two doing?!" I yelped trying to pull myself away from the crazy lunatics. I could feel blood rush to my cheeks in embarrassment from my situation, "Let go! Yana!" Over at one of the other tables where Yana was currently sitting she smiled sweetly and gave me a thumbs up as if everything was okay. "I'll kill her…" I growled my narrow eyes moved from my blood relative to the idiots who were practically assaulting me. "Let me go!" I shouted ripping my hand from Hikaru's grasp before trying to rip Karou's hands from my waist
"But you're hurt!" they protested
"I'm fine! Go bother your other guests!" I pointed towards the girls across the table that had stars in their eyes and heavy blushes on their faces. "It's barely a first degree burn! I'll just go to the nurse and put a band aid on it…" Getting out of my seat I heaved a sigh and walked out of the third music room down towards the nurse. Frowning at the slight throbbing I felt I was about to put the burn area in my mouth but I then realized what had been there a few minutes earlier, "AH! My hand! I need it amuptted! He put my finger in his mouth! I'm gonna die!" Upon arriving at the Nurse's office I quickly ran over to the sink and scrubbed my hands clean in luke warm water. "My finger…" I pouted, putting a simple band aid over the burned area, "I don't want to lose you but you're contaminated…"
"Man you're over reacting" glancing over my shoulder I glared daggers at Yana as she leaned against the door frame, "They were trying to help"
"And they were the reason I got burnt."
"Quit whining! They doubt they meant to hurt you. And if it was intentional, I'll give them a piece of my mind! No one messes with my baby bro except me and more times than not the twins!"
"Your words are so reassuring…"
"Whatever, but since your all patched up I suggest you go and tell the twins that you're okay."
"Why's that?"
"Simple. They're worried."
"Yeah right."
"Just go. Otherwise I'll have to drag you there myself."
Rolling my eyes I walked past my older sister and reentered the host club. Suprisingly enough, it seemed like Yana was right about the twins feeling bad. The were sitting solumly at their table hand in hand, much like how they were when we met for the first time. "Hikaru, Karou" I called from behind them, "You okay?"
The twins whipped their head towards me and wide smiles broke on their face, "Ryota! You're okay!"
"Yeah… Why wouldn't I be okay?"
"We don't know" Karou started
"But we're sorry about today" Hikaru rung his hands together and I could only frown at the two. They were acting really out of character and it was creepy. They were never remorseful about anything, yet here they were upset about accidently burning my finger.
"Forget it" I huffed, adjusting my glasses out of nervous habit, "And don't you have clients to attend to?"
"Yeah" they frowned before looking back up at me with hope filled golden eyes, "You'll be at school tomorrow right?"
"Yes. The burn really isn't serious and there has really been no harm done so stop."
"Stop what?" Karou asked in confusion, looking at his brother to see if Hikaru knew what I was talking about
"You need to stop acting weird! I've never seen you like this and it makes me feel really awkward so stop! Go back to being your sadistic selves so I can have a reason to hate you! I don't want to like you and I don't want to pity you so you need to cut it out!"
"Cut what out?" It was Hikaru's turn to ask me
"Acting like you're sorry! I don't like you like this! This isn't you so go back and we can continue on with our lives!" 'Stop making me what to feel bad for you. You two don't deserve that- Not yet at least. Like I said yesterday, I have a lot to think about…'
