I love you guys! You really make me laugh sometimes!

YaoiGirly: That's pretty much the idea, but what act, exactly? *suspenseful music*

SnOandZnT: Haha, that's okay. I stayed up past midnight writing that same day. Good for you and your obsessive fanfiction reading!

Uchihacest Girl: Don't worry, neither twin is going to die in this fanfiction. However, I am looking for suggestions for a new Ouran project, and I'm looking into a rather angsty one. (And incest is illegal in Japan, as in most countries.)

wishIwereanime: I hear ya! It's a little scary, how into this twincest stuff I am, but I guess we all have our interests, right?

Jen567: "I would never have to face the wrath of woman." A real line used by my gay friend. *shout out to Skylar*

ZoeDucky: I always imagine Yuzuha being understanding, even if she's not always there for her sons. However, their father is a rather vague character (so says Wikipedia ;D) so I just made his character fit the story better.

Blue Rose Dream: Welcome to the family! Thanks for such a great review. Sorry I can't comment on it all; that would take an entire page in Word! LOL, but thanks, really. (And for the record, I think 69 is better than 60. Haha, just kidding!)

Victoria62015: Never underestimate the influence of a pissed-off mother. :D

Akatsukifan 14: We've all dwelled in the realm of insanity at some point in time. ;P

NekaneDragomire: Haha, thanks! I really try to balance out the humor and seriousness (?) of the story.

Safirefairy: I didn't really take his profession into consideration when designing his character. I just went with what would make the story more interresting.

tracigpoet54: I guess I stray a little OOC by making the twins have similar personalities (as opposed to weak Kaoru and jerky Hikaru) but it all makes the story better in my opinion! Thank you, I look forward to your reviews!

Ditkata: The world will never know what Yuzuha told her husband, LOL! That seriously happened when my friend came out of the closet. Luckily, his sister managed to calm their father down. (He still kicked them out, though. :( )

HearsVoices008: I hate it when people abandon their fanfictions in the middle of the story. If you're going to start one, you have to finish it. It's just wrong to stop.

KeedaxEmry: Haha, I had no problem understanding you! I intended for their father to EXTREMELY overreact, but I didn't mean to make you (almost) cry! T^T I'm sorry.

SatoshiIsAmazing: You were reading this in class? Wow, major props to you! I would post more often, but I can't get on Fanfiction because it's on my school's black list. (What else am I supposed to do all day? Take notes? Haha!)

Wow, If I get any more followers, I might have to dedicate whole chapters to replies! Haha, keep it up!

I do not own Ouran High School Host Club. If I did, I would update more often because I could pay nerds to do my homework! (Haha, just kidding! I AM a nerd!)

Hikaru:

If you were the kind of person to spy on the Hitachiin twins, it would not be uncommon to see them making out in their room (making sure the door was locked, of course.) Eventually, the snogging would trail into their school days, whether it be before or after the Host Club meetings.

Their relationship hadn't become all about sex, as so many other high school relationships had. After all, abstinence was a virtue, and one that Hikaru, at least, was determined to posses. However, Kaoru had been suggesting that they go ahead and take their relationship to the next level.

When the twins were in the middle of one of their particularly sexy make out sessions, Kaoru would sometimes roll his hips, letting Hikaru know exactly what he wanted. After that, Hikaru would always pull away and say something along the lines of, "Not today."

Kaoru was fed up with it.

"If not today, then when?" He finally asked with impatience.

Hikaru considered his answer. "Soon."

"How soon? When?"

"I don't know, just soon."

Kaoru sighed and let his face slip into a pout. He looked so cute, Hikaru couldn't help but laugh.

Because Valentine's Day was coming up, and Hikaru had the perfect gift idea. Something that would satisfy both of them.

-X-X-X-

Hikaru played with the gift in his pocket. It was only the thirteenth, but he couldn't wait much longer. The anticipation was getting to him. But because he still wanted to wait for Valentine's Day, he would present his gift to Kaoru at midnight. Exactly.

Luckily, the day seemed to fly by quickly. Only Host Club felt like it dragged on for hours. Maybe it was having to publicly display their affection without really displaying anything. They held back so much in their act - they hadn't even publicly kissed yet. Mostly because they were worried about everyone's reactions.

Hikaru wished that he could give Kaoru his present right now, when they were so close and everyone was watching. He wanted the world to know how he felt for his brother. But, of course, because the world is cruel and judgmental, he couldn't announce anything of the sort.

So he waited until the final bell rang, and then . . .

"Kaoru, can I see you for a moment?"

. . . He had to wait some more.

Kaoru:

Why the hell did Kyoya want to see him? It was clear that Hikaru wanted something, and Kaoru was eager to find out exactly what. Still, he stayed behind and listened to what Kyoya had to say.

"Are you feeling okay, Kaoru?" Kyoya asked when everyone else had left.

Kaoru was taken aback by his senpai's sudden display of kindness. "Huh? Oh, sure, senpai. I'm fine, why?"

"Well, according to our most recent poll - "

Oh. Of course this was about statistics.

" - Your popularity with the ladies has dropped by two percent since New Year's. They claim that you seem a little more reluctant to display your affection for Hikaru than before. Like you're holding back."

Kyoya peered over his notebook with his usual penetrating stare. Kaoru couldn't help but panic. Did he know? Did he even have suspicions? If he did, would he tell everyone? Kaoru chose his next words carefully.

"Well, we thought that we were maybe giving them the wrong idea. I mean, we don't want them to think that Hikaru and I are really in a relationship, do we?"

"That's kind of the point of the act, don't you think?"

"Okay, but how far is too far?" It was an honest question, but it appeared that Kyoya was having a hard time answering. Finally, he stepped forward, but he slipped on some tea that Tamaki had previously spilled and forgotten to clean up. He fell onto the floor, accidentally dragging Kaoru with him.

Kaoru made a small noise of pain as his knee slammed onto the ground.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Kaoru," Kyoya said in a voice that implied that the apology wasn't sincere.

"I-it's okay," Kaoru replied in a small voice, attempting to put weight on his leg and falling over, crying out again.

"Here, let me," Kyoya began, grabbing Kaoru's knee firmly in both hands.

"Hey, hey, what - ?"

A small pop sent a stabbing pain through Kaoru's leg.

"Ah, senpai - "

"Better?" Kyoya interrupted calmly.

Kaoru tested his knee, put his full weight on it, stood up, walked around a bit. Finally, he sighed. He had been terrified that his knee had been sprained, or even worse, broken. "Thanks."

"Of course. You're dismissed. I just wanted you to be aware of the situation."

For some reason, Kaoru didn't think that was why Kyoya had asked him to stay, but he let the matter go for the time being and left to meet Hikaru in the limo.

Hikaru:

Being the protective brother that he was, Hikaru wasn't just going to leave Kaoru in the care of Kyoya, so he did the wrong thing for the right reason. He eavesdropped. He stood pressed against the door, straining his ears. Unfortunately, he came into the conversation at the worst possible time.

. . . how far is too far?

That was Kaoru's voice. h=How far of what was too far? Hikaru wished he could have heard the beginning of the conversation.

Then, Kaoru made a noise. One that was so shockingly familiar that Hikaru refused to believe that he had heard correctly.

Kaoru moaned. It was the same moan that Hikaru heard when he would nibble on Kaoru's ear. Panic chilled Hikaru's veins. Surely, he thought, Surely, he isn't . . .

Oh, I'm sorry, Kaoru. That was Kyoya. But it didn't sound like he was sorry at all.

I-it's okay. Hikaru's fears were realized when Kaoru moaned again, but louder this time.

Here, let me -

Hey, hey, what - ? There was a short silence, during which Hikaru tried not to imagine what Kyoya was doing to his brother. Ah, senpai - !

Hikaru hadn't realized that he had been crying until he tried to leave. He couldn't see a thing past his tears, but he stumbled away anyway. He couldn't bear to hear any more.

Hikaru's worst fears had been confirmed with the final, loudest moan. He couldn't give Kaoru what he wanted, so he had run to Kyoya. It made him sick just to think about. Sick with anger, hurt, confusion. But mostly anger.

On the ride home in the limo, Hikaru sat as far away from Kaoru as physically possible. He couldn't even look at his brother without being disgusted, so he glared out of the window for the entire ride. Kaoru tried to ask what was wrong, but he ignored him to the best of his ability.

And when they finally got home, Hikaru stormed into the house and locked Kaoru out of their room. He took his present out of his pocket and threw it in the trash can. He would have flushed it down the toilet, but the box wouldn't fit down the drain.

When he finally let Kaoru back in, he still refused to speak to him. Finally, after much pestering and begging, Kaoru fell asleep in a separate bed with tears still streaming from his eyes. Hikaru did the same, except his pain was too deep for tears.

Short chapter for a reason! Part two up soon, I promise! I won't bother replying to reviews for part one until chapter twelve, just so you guys know!
