Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran, and this is the 14th time I have said that in this series, and I think that it probably made it into your brains so this is the last time, at least for Playful twins, that I shall write it.
Haruhi was late. Again. Probably studying, most of the members figured. Thankfully they were not open for business that day, so no fan girls were disappointed. But that didn't keep Tamaki from going on a ran about how his "precious daughter" could be hanging from a cliff at that very moment.
But that theory went down the drain, when Haruhi came through the doors of the host club about ten minutes later, proudly wearing a blue baseball cap with white paint on it.
"What's with the hat?" Hikaru asked when she was passing him.
"This?" She asked touching the rim of the cap.
"No, your tie. Of course your hat!" Kaoru said boldly.
"Don't talk to my daughter like that!" Tamaki scolded jumping in front of them.
"This hat, I've had since I was a baby." Haruhi answered, taking it off her head.
"Since you were a little baby? Really Haru-chan? I didn't know you had that big of a head when you were a baby!" Hunny said popping up at her side.
She laughed, "No Hunny senpai, I didn't. But when I was a baby, I put my handprint on this part, right here." she said, pointing to what at first glance would seem just like a blob of white paint. But when you looked close enough, was truly a tiny white hand. Beside it was written "Haruhi: Age 1" in the same color.
"So… that's how small your hand was when you were one?" Hikaru asked, she nodded.
"Huh." Said Kaoru.
"You guys never did this when you were kids?" Haruhi asked, the twins shook their heads.
"Neither did me or Takashi!" Hunny exclaimed.
"Or me." Tamaki said.
"Nor I." Kyouya said from farther away.
"Wow. It seemed like everyone at my old school had done it. I guess rich people just don't have the time. Even when young." Haruhi started to walk away then, when the twins stopped her.
"Hey Haruhi! Toss us your hat! We want to look at it!" They said synchronized.
She threw it towards them, and made her way to stand beside Kyouya. "They sure seem interested in that hat." Haruhi observed, looking at the twins again.
"Yes." Kyouya agreed, a cool smile playing on his face.
The twins had just gotten home from the host club, and were walking up the steps to their mansion when they saw a large delivery of paint tubes perched near their door.
"What's up with this?" Hikaru asked.
"It's paint." Kaoru stated.
"I see that. What's it for?" Hikaru clarified.
"I don't know. All that's here is this card that's signed K.O." Kaoru shrugged, and Hikaru followed, discreetly putting a tube of blue paint in his jacket pocket.
Soon it was time for the brothers to get some sleep. Kaoru was starting to change into his sleep wear, when he noticed that Hikaru was being, unusually quiet. He had just taken his shirt off, when he turned around to see Hikaru ginning mischievously at him, his hand stained with blue paint. Hikaru lunged at him towards the bed, hands first.
"Wha-" Kaoru said after he hit the mattress. Hikaru then got off his brother, standing on the hard wood floor.
"Sorry Kaoru. But I wanted to have something like that hat, Haruhi showed us." Kaoru looked down at his bare chest, now having two blue Hikaru handprints on it. He glared at his smirking brother, and stalked out of the room, slamming the door.
He returned less than five minutes later, with another tube of blue paint. Which he proceeded to squirt at Hikaru. Who rushed to his, still mostly full tube, and reciprocated.
The next day the twins entered the host club, still with blue stain streaks in their hair. All the members were baffled. Except that is, for Kyouya.
Author's note: Chapter 14 already? Wow, in chapter 16 I've added a little something special! It's coming up!
