Saturday, December 29 - Sorry for the long wait.I was too busy!
Disclaimer - Ya, you know the drill.
Hikaru screamed in frustration. "SO CLOSE! I WAS SO CLOSE! WHY?! WHY GOD, WHY?!"
He bent his knees and slid down the wall on which he was leaning.
If he ever finds out… will our brother-ship be over? Will we be over?

"Kyouya… I…." Tamaki looked away and blushed.
"I only did that to shut you up," Kyouya turned his head sideways.
Tamaki looked at him, shocked. "You mean it didn't mean anything?"
"Was it supposed to mean anything?" Kyouya was staring at him now.
"… I… um… I thought you-"
"Maybe it's not what you thought."
Tamaki looked down and drew circles on the floor with his finger.
"Tamaki."
The blond stood up suddenly and ran out the door.
Kyouya knelt on his knees and wondered.
Shadow King disqualified.

Hikaru, my dear brother… Kaoru thought to himself, what are you so worried about? Nothing little I suppose. If only, if only…
Why was Hikaru acting that way? Why did he not answer my question? Why, why, why?
Hikaru…
…
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?
The youngest grabbed some mistletoe and threw it at the door.
"GRAAAH!" he screamed. Emotions were welling up inside him. He only wanted Hikaru to be happy. And now he's being stupid and depressed. Maybe it was Haruhi! Was she too boyish for him?! Maybe he had no Christmas spirit. Maybe Haruhi was too mean. Could it be he himself that made him go into a deep depression? Maybe Haruhi just wasn't good enough…
Grrr.
XXX
Kaoru… what would you think of me? An idiot? Maybe you'd think I was disgusting… oh Kaoru… my Kaoru…
Hikaru angsted against the wall.
Clatt-er. Stomp-stomp.
He stole a glance to his left and recognized Tamaki Suoh running down the halls, tears streaming down his face.
Hikaru slid up on the hard brick and called, "My lord!"
Said lord stopped sprinting and came to a complete halt. He sniffed.
"Hikaru."
"Tamaki, what are you doing?"
"I, alas… have had my heart broken."
"Haruhi." The oldest twin dropped to the floor again, not very interested.
"No… it was not the fair lady… it was Kyouya… the evil prince." Tamaki sighed into his dramatics and Hikaru perked up.
"Kyouya? You mean you liked Kyouya Ootori?" the twin was practically hyper now. He forgot all about the note, the angst, and the reason why he was in the hallway in the first place and focused all his attention entirely on Tamaki.
"Yes. Haruhi was divine, exquisite and charming, but all that has no meaning like the dark, twisted and significant Kyouya." Tamaki drifted in and out of his inner theatre and sat down next to Hikaru. "What about you, dear lad. I have seen your depression enough to tell that something is completely offset."
"My lord; you ought to stop watching all those commoner shows. Yes, I guess I do have a secret. Since you told me yours, I guess you might as well hear mine.
"I love Kaoru; not just like a brother. In all those times we held each other in the Host club, I was never acting. I followed my lines but my emotions were so real. All I want is to have Kaoru love me back. That's all I want for Christmas this year.
"Tamaki Suoh… I beg of you to not tell anyone."
The blond was serious. His tears were drying on his face and it made him look heartbroken. "Hikaru, I will keep your secret and since mine is out already, there's no reason for you to keep your mouth shut."
"Thanks, my lord."
Tamaki's eyes sparked, "I have an idea!"
"That's rare," mumbled Hikaru quietly, but he straightened up and listening to what he had to say.
"I think we should set up a Christmas list!" Tamaki lost his dejection and regained his happy spark.
"What?" Hikaru was confused.
"We should set up secret Santa's! We get everyone to participate and we all put our wishes on a giant tree and whoever picks the wish, has to grant it! Whoever doesn't make the person whom they picked happy, then they will end up being the Host club dog for a month."
Hikaru stared at him and couldn't find a fault in the plan.
"Okay, my lord. You're good."
And suddenly, everything was brighter.
Like it so far? The action is just coming up... eventually.
