1:05AM - Anya

After Hikaru left, Kim opened my bedroom door to see if he was gone. "He went home?" She saw me nod after I closed the balcony door shut. I only had one question running through my head: Why did Hikaru come all this way just to tell me he was the one that liked me instead of Kaoru? He tried that one time to sweep me off my feet by offering himself with no strings attached; or so that's what it felt like to me. This was still so surprising, even for me it was. I both liked the twins, but there a part of me that liked Kaoru a little bit more and when I told Hikaru that there might have been chemistry between his brother and I; I had to admit I felt it. I felt sparks... it was like electricity going off inside my body. And I thought this night was going be either awkward or disastrous. I won a game of bowling, we went out afterwards to have pizza, and we took a walk through the park. As far as I'm concerned, it was a perfect first date from beginning to end. "What did he want at this time at night? Weird."

"He... Hikaru wanted me to go out with him instead of his brother I guess," I closed the curtains and turned on the lamp beside my bed.

"What do you mean I guess? The twins obviously were playing a game. Back in middle school when a girl would write one of the a love letter, they would pretend to be each other. Instead of Hikaru himself, Kaoru would pretend to be him and Hikaru pretended to be Kaoru."

"Why?"

"Let me explain, a girl I knew had written a letter to Hikaru saying that she liked him a lot. He met her after school like she asked him too, but instead of coming as himself he-"

"He pretended to be his brother."

"Yup. He said that he was Kaoru when in reality he was actually lying. I remember what he said, I was their coincidentally. "Hikaru has a crush on someone else. Do you think you could like me instead?" After she fell for their charade and agreed to go out with Kaoru, Hikaru turned around and shouted to his brother that she's be fine with him instead."

"So it was like a game? That's kinda mean, don't you think?" I couldn't believe they'd play with a girls heart like that. I understood the devilishness that was brought to the host club, but toying with someone else's emotions... it sounded like they were complete jerks even doing it.

"They're both identical, it doesn't surprise me they'd use that in a situation like that."

"Just because they're twins that doesn't mean I'll choose the other if something doesn't go right with the other one. They use the fact that they're twins to their advantage. It's sort of twisted, but I think I'd feel the same way if I had a twin. How would it feel being mistaken for your brother or sister all the time? I wouldn't know. I'm an only child."

"It's alright, at least you didn't decide to hook up with Hikaru."

"Back what happened a while ago, what Hikaru was going... it was just a game?" Kim nodded. "Well that explains it." I said flatly.

"Sometimes you have to play games in order to see their intentions. I feel bad for the girls that got their hearts broken; they fell for their tricks one by one thinking one was the other. I think sometimes they take advantage of the whole twin thing."

"If I know then though, why would they play the game on me? Hikaru even came on his own as himself and he was calm the whole time. I don't get that!"

"Maybe he did it because Kaoru likes you and he wanted to see if you're good enough," What she said made my heart stop. I felt the electricity flow through my veins when she said those words. "But I don't know. Hey, we need to get to sleep. I'm getting tired."

"Alright," I crawled onto my side of the bed and shut my eyes. Could that be true Kim? Does Kaoru really like me? He did give me a flower on our date... but that could mean anything. I felt my eyes grow heavy and I let myself give in to sleep.


I woke up first the next morning. The events of the night before were still playing in the back of my mind. I could feel myself smiling as I glanced over at my nightstand to see the rose still sitting next to the clock. It was red and full bloom. I couldn't believe Hikaru when he said that his brother wasn't interested. There was a part of her that was screaming Kaoru liked her too. It was a first date, sure... but was there potential of being something more than friends? I couldn't help the sensation that was growing throughout my body. i must have been on cloud nine still.

The lock read 8:21AM, it was time for me to take my medication again. I opened the drawer to the nightstand and pulled out my container where my pills were in. Opening the mini fridge beside the bed, I took out a small bottled water. After I drank some water along with my medicine, I heard Kim wake up while moving around on the bed.

"Good morning!"

Kim just looked at me, "You're obviously a morning person. Is breakfast ready?"

I nodded, "It smells like french toast." Normally during the week breakfast was made half an hour before I'd have to leave for school, but on the weekend we would wake up later. On Saturdays and Sundays it was cooked between 8 and 10 AM. My parent's cook always made the best meals.

I couldn't stop looking at the flower, and Kim decided to tease me about it. "Aw! It looks like someone has a crush on Kaoru!"

While I stook next to the bed, I grabbed a pillow near me and threw it at her. "Ouch! You're so mean!" I heard Kim whine.

"Shut up," I mumbled.


Sunday 9:51AM - Kaoru

This morning I found myself on the floor again. Hikaru must have kicked me off during the night, I thought as I ran my fingers through my hair. I recalled the events that occurred the day before. Spending the afternoon picking out which shirt I wanted to wear to my first date. Anya looked really pretty last night; I mean she always looked pretty, but I was used to seeing her either in her Ouran uniform or in lounge clothes when me and Hikaru were at her house. She looked great from her head to her toe. For a minute I thought she was too good to be true. Any girl could be easily fooled by twins, but I guess since she was able to tell us apart more easily now things were different. Suddenly, something came to my head. I had to thank her for out date! I almost forgot. Well we talked a lot about different things last night. From what I remember she loves chocolate chip cookies... that's a must for her. I even saw a bag of cookies in her room the times me and Hikaru came over to her house. I had to do something to get her attention. I walked over to the computer and searched for the website she was talking about last night. She had an obvious sweet tooth for cookies and as I scrolled through the various cookie cakes, baskets, tin, and gift bags... I had found what I wanted to give Anya.

There was no way she could deny this.

I then felt Hikaru's hand on my shoulder glancing at the screen, "You're looking at sweets? We've got a lot of brownies and cookies in the kitchen you know."

"They're not going to be for us. I'm sending them to someone," Hikaru shrugged and left.
