Thank you for your reviews! I have made my choice, well sort of. Please enjoy the story. It's progression is a bit slow but I feel it will make the story more fulfilling in the end.
"I'll just ask"Hikaru sat there on his bed gripping his phone. It hadn't been long since he and Kaoru returned home from Hunnys and were now both locked away in their separate rooms. The ride home had been silent while both of them pondered their next move
'If I wait too long.. then Kaoru will defiantly ask her'Hikaru thought as he hung his head down, his brown hair brushed across his forehead slightly covering his eyes now. His thumb ran over the front of the screen as he thought about what to say.
"Hikaru are you in there?"Kaorus voice came through the door softly. Hikaru held his phone and stood up ready to answer the door for his brother, it was strange that Kaoru didn't just come in.
"Don't open the door Hikaru"Kaorus voice whispered softly against the door. There Hikaru stood a foot away from the door and Kaoru on the other side, pressing himself gently against the smooth wood.
"Mom said she wants me to go with her to France till Saturday so I won't be in school, could you make sure to write down my homework for me?"Kaorus voice got softer, Hikaru could almost image the pain that's would be on Kaorus face
'Do you understand Hikaru?... I can't make a move towards her'Kaoru thought as he pressed his forehead against the wooden door. He had been planning to ask Haruhi out as soon as he got home, but his mother had left him a message about going to France and leaving Hikaru here since he had worse grades and couldn't afford to be leaving.
'Are you telling me it'd be okay Kaoru?'Hikaru thought as he lifted his hand and pressed it against the door'If there was ever such a thing as twins having an emotional and physiological connection, it was proven by them.
"I'll be sure to write it all down for you"Hikaru answered back as he gripped his phone in his other hand.
"Thanks Hikaru, I'll see you at dinner"Kaoru stepped away from the door and began to walk down the hallway back to his room. He had started to get used to being separate from his twin. But that didn't mean he never got lonely.
Hikaru stood there on the other side of the door listening to Kaorus footsteps in the hall. Then suddenly he felt a pang of guilt and threw the door open
"Kaoru don't give up! I know things are happening fast but if you give up then everything we've gone through would have been for nothing!"Hikaru yelled as he stepped out into the hallway to see Kaoru looking back at him. His hands in his pockets and a faint smile on his lips
"I never said anything about giving up"
-Haruhi—
"How could I let that happen"Haruhi stared at herself in the mirror of her bathroom. After Mori had dropped her off he had given her a kiss on the cheek and promised to never take things that far again without asking her. But that didn't stop the unsteady feeling in her chest.
'And he even left a mark'Haruhi thought as she unbuttoned her shirt to get ready for her bath. There was a light blue mark under her collar bone where Mori had been sucking
"Everyones been so strange lately, all of them.. well not all of them exactly"Haruhi whispered as she turned the water on and waited for it to warm before stepping inside.
Haruhi had found that like many other people, she had some of the best thoughts while taking a shower. She let the water run over her body and felt her hair get heavy. She had never really paid much time to relationships, sex or anything like that. But now she found herself in a mix of a whole bunch of things relating to that.
"Would it really be a bad idea for me to try to understand these feelings I'm having for each of them, is there more to these feelings?"Haruhi thought as she finished showered and shut the water off. She reached for her towel and wrapped up tight before heading out into her bedroom. Since her father had gone off to work already she was free to walk around in her towel.
"Would that make me a bad person? "Haruhi thought as she touched her lips. Kyoya, Hikaru, Kaoru, Mori, all of them had claimed a kiss from her and now she was confused. Wasn't she only supposed to kiss many one or two people? That's the number normal people had right? Then again Haruhi never spoke with another girl about these things so how was she supposed to know.

'Do I really want to deal with this now?'Haruhi thought as she looked down at the caller ID and saw Hikarus picture. It was a photo of him that had been taken the day they went to the beach house and were playing around near the caves. Hikaru had demanded that Haruhi personalize his contact so she'd know when he was calling her.
"Hey Hikaru"Haruhi answered the phone deciding that if she didn't answer now he'd just keep calling her until she did. An she wasn't in the mood for that either.
"Haruhi do you want to come to the amusement park with me?"
"I'm kind of tired Hikaru"Haruhi answered, she didn't want to be mean but in all honesty she was exhausted from today. It had been a very emotional and physical day for her that she didn't expect.
"Please Haruhi, I just want to hang out tonight for a bit"
'What's up with Hikaru'Haruhi thought as she heard his voice, it sounded weak and a little scared. Like he was standing on the other side trying to hold in his feelings
"Fine, but no amusement park, do you want to come over for dinner?"Haruhi pulled a pair of pajama pants and a night shirt out of her drawer and began to get dressed. It wouldn't take long to make dinner if it was for just her and Hikaru, since her dad normally ate at work if he didn't stay home for dinner.
"Okay, I'll call when I'm outside"
"I hope Hikarus okay"Haruhi whispered as she patted her hair down and stepped out of her bedroom. She kept her phone in her pocket waiting for him to call her. Haruhi knew it took about 10 minutes to get here by car if there wasn't traffic, and since it was already getting dark most people would already be home. So when she walked to the stove and put the water on, she was surprised to hear her phone go off
*Unknown Song Plays*
"Hikaru?"Haruhi picked up her phone, they had spoken just a minute ago. No way could he have driven here so fast already
"Hey I'm outside"
Haruhi closed her phone and turned the stove on low before making her way to the door. She opened the door slowly to see Hikaru standing there holding a small box that smelt of something sweet and sugary. Hikaru was dressed pretty casually but had a backpack on that seemed stuffed.
"How did you get here so fast?"Haruhi asked as she undid the chain lock and let Hikaru in. He kicked off his shoes and slipped his backpack off his shoulders
"I was already walking here when I called you"Hikaru closed the door behind him and made sure to lock it as Haruhi started to make her way back to the kitchen. Hikaru followed after her, he placed his backpack down onto the floor in the sitting room and then placed the small box on the table
"Why'd you walk? Did you expect us to walk all the way to the amusement park?"Haruhi asked as she started to pour the hot water out for tea. She had planned to make curry but thought she should serve him some tea first.
"I was pretty sure you'd want to stay here anyway, besides you walk everywhere"Hikaru commented as he helped Haruhi by taking the tray of tea from her. He placed it down gently and took a seat on the floor next to her. His hair was a bit wet since he'd taken a shower right before heading over but Haruhi didn't mind. She never really cared about how he looked.
"Are you trying to do the 'commoner' experience like Tamaki senpai?"Haruhi commented feeling like he had come here just to annoy her but then she felt Hikaru reach over and place his hand over hers. His hands were always warm so when he touched her, she could feel the warmth travel up her arm
"No I'm just trying to understand you better Haruhi"Hikaru knew he was being forward, but there wasn't much time to play around now. However Haruhis cheeks flushes a bright red at his comment as she tried to pull her hand away
"Don't run from me Haruhi, I'm not going to do anything"Hikaru held her hand tighter as she tried to pull away. Her cheeks were red and she didn't know what to say.
"I'm just going to go make dinner!"An with that Haruhi hurried off and went into the kitchen where she could get started on the curry for her and Hikaru
*Unknown Song Plays*
Hikaru sat there looking at Haruhis phone that laid next to him now. When she got up she must have dropped it, and it didn't seem like she even noticed it ringing as she started to look through the kitchen.
'What's this?'Hikaru thought as he picked her phone up and looked at the caller ID, it was Kyoya calling.
Hikaru stared at the phone and it was ringing in his hand
*Beep*
And he sent it straight to voice mail
'If it's important I'm sure he'll call back'Hikaru thought as he placed the phone back down and stood up to go help Haruhi
Hikaru headed into the kitchen to see Haruhi standing there mixing some curry mix into the hot water. The rice was already on and from the looks of it the instant curry already had vegetables inside so there was nothing to cut. HIkaru continued to talk forward and then wrapped his arms around Haruhi from behind. His hands resting over her shoulders and head resting on hers
"Hikaru what are you doing?"Haruhi tensed up a bit as she stood there stirring the curry.
"I missed you Haruhi"Hikaru whispered softly as he tightened his grip on her slightly and placed a light kiss on her hair.
'Remain calm, if I stay calm it'll be fine'Haruhi thought as she tried to relax with Hikaru hanging over her. His warm lips against her hair didn't go unnoticed.
"You saw me just today"Haruhi stopped stirring when Hikarus hand covered hers. He head now resting on her shoulder and he leaned over to get closer to her. Haruhi couldn't tell whether to be embarrassed of angry now, he was so close and he was holding her very intimately.
It was quite the scene, Haruhi didn't even notice how the curry started to boil a bit until Hikaru place his free hand over her chest. She was about to yell at him for being perverted by then he said something.
"Your hearts racing Haruhi"Hikaru whispered softly as he rested his hand over her chest. He could feel her heart beating against his hand.
Haruhi stood there frozen as she became aware of it herself. Her heart was racing, had it done this before? Hikaru had held her a lot, but never like this.
*Unknown Song Plays*
'Dammit'Hikaru thought as he heard his phone go off. With a sign he pulled away from Haruhi who was still catching her breath now.
"What"Hikaru was annoyed now, he thought he had finally had Haruhi. He had backed her into a corner, forcing her to think about her feelings for him and then his phone had to ring and break their moment.
"Hey Hikaru do you want to-"Tamaki began but Hikaru closed his phone almost instantly hanging up on Tamaki in mid speech
'That idiot'Hikaru thought as he put his phone away and turned around to see Haruhi had gone back to stirring the curry. Hikaru had missed his chance and knew it would be good to push her any more tonight. So he simply went to stand next to her, leaning against the counter he watched her continue to stir the curry and not look at him.
"You know even if you don't pick me Haruhi, as pathetic as it seems, I'll always be waiting encase you change your mind"Hikaru picked a pair of bowels up from the cabinet headed towards the rice cooker.
"Even if I'm your second choice I'm still happy to just be a choice"Hikaru continued as he popped open the rice cooker and was about to reach for the rice scooper when he noticed Haruhi had turned off the stove and was facing him now.
"SHUT UP HIKARU!"Haruhi yelled as she charged forward and pushed him, Hikaru was nothing short of shocked by this as he fell back onto the floor letting some of the rice fall around him and Haruhi fell to her knees before him
"How could you be happy being second best! You're a person Hikaru! So saying that even if I don't choice you, you'd be happy just waiting for me! That's the most pathetic disgusting thing I've ever heard you say!"Haruhi yelled as she felt he tears starting to swell up in her eyes. It didn't take long before she felt one escape and slip down her cheek. While Hikaru laid there staring at her in shock, he had never seen Haruhi so emotion, let alone angry.
"Haruhi..Hey Haruhi I'm sorry okay"Hikaru sat up and placed his hand on her back, he hadn't meant to push her that far where she'd just explode like that. Haruhi was normally good at holding her temper, but then again she was also good at speaking her mind
"Hikaru I don't know where this road is leading me… but at the end of it, can you promise me something?"Haruhi asked as she looked down at the smashed rice on the floor but didn't seem to care at this point.
"Anything you want"Hikaru leaned forward and wrapped his arms around her, she seemed to emotionally exhausted now and he felt terrible for adding to that weight she must have already been carrying.
"At the end of all this, you'll still be my best friend"Haruhi pushed Hikaru away as she whipped the rest of her small tears away and took in a breathe, she had needed to let all her feelings out.
"Yeah, I'll be here"Hikaru responded as he helped Haruhi up onto her feet and then started to pick up the bits of rice he had dropped on the floor, they were all mushy now so it was difficult for him
-Knock—Knock-
"I'll get it"
