Summary: Kaoru has always been use to the fact that Hikaru becomes closer to Haruhi. But can Hikaru, whom is new to this, accept Kaoru being closer to someone other than him self?

STARTSTARTSTART

Hikaru held his breath for a long time, almost forgetting to breathe. What had possessed him to say that? More importantly, have his feelings for Kaoru grown stronger without him even noticing? Eyes widen, he returned to reality at the call of his name.

"Hikaru?"

Gulping, he closed his eyes to listen to his heart beat become louder and louder. He wondered if his face was red. Maybe it wasn't since Kaoru hadn't said anything yet. Very slowly, he opened his eyes, trying to look at everywhere else, but failed when Kaoru began to speak. This time, when his eyes wandered back to Kaoru, he focused on his face, no longer even paying attention what Kaoru was saying, just watching his lips move . . .

'His lips -- they look so soft.'

The funny thing about it is that during their acts, they'd never really kiss they just imply that they do. The most touching and physical contact they had was hugging, caressing, and any other touches that were suppose to make Kaoru blush.

Kaoru let out a small shocked gasp, stopping his sentence completely, wondering if his mind was playing tricks on him or if Hikaru was really leaning in. Was he listening to a word that he had said? "Hikaru," he tried again, trying to ignore the fact that Hikaru was much closer than seconds ago. "I think we should get--"

Hikaru gave Kaoru's lips a small brush and watched as Kaoru seemed to tense up.

He leaned closer, smirking into the kiss, he vaguely remembered making a note of how to get Kaoru to shut up before a small sensation ran up his spine while he enjoyed the muffled protests Kaoru made that were beginning to slowly die down. If this was how a simple kiss was, then what would it feel like to take it further?

With these thoughts in mind, Hikaru decided to deepen the kiss, just barely nipping at Kaoru's lower lip. Kaoru obeyed almost automatically, opening his mouth and letting lose a moan that he was obviously trying to hide.

'So Kaoru liked it?'

The moan seemed to encourage Hikaru as he flicked his tongue in Kaoru's mouth, listening to another small moan he was also trying to hide. While he explored his younger twin's mouth, he took the chance to survey how Kaoru tasted.

It wasn't too sweet, but was just barely spicy as well.

Hikaru was the one that pulled back, eyes closed, still remembering how Kaoru had tasted. It was addicting. He opened his eyes to see a flushed Kaoru who was trying to force a blush away.

Kaoru looked up, peering into Hikaru's eyes, able to see a number of emotions: love, caring, lust, need.

"Hikaru . . ."

Whatever thoughts Hikaru was having were broken at the call of his name as he watched Kaoru with a smile. He gave a tender look as he reached out, placing a hand to Kaoru's cheek.

Kaoru closed his eyes, enjoying the gently touch, inhaling a sharp breath. "Hikaru." Kaoru called out breathless again.

Hikaru hesitantly lowered him self for another kiss, but Kaoru opened his eyes, meeting his twin's mouth half way, and this time, controlling the kiss.

It was Hikaru's turn to be thrown off guard as Kaoru hooked his arms around Hikaru's neck, bringing him closer also closing any space between the both of them.

Kaoru mimicked Hikaru's actions from before, nipping at Hikaru's lip, and slipping his tongue in Hikaru's mouth at the opportune moment.

Hikaru, who was thoroughly enjoying him self, decided that he liked bottom, but top suited him more (1). He managed to take a free hand, tracing Kaoru's chest with a finger which caused Kaoru to falter. Smirking, he pressed his tongue against Kaoru's, taking his other free hand and pinning both of his arms above his head, leaving Kaoru in a helpless.

Kaoru was reluctant, but pulled away first for air as he tried to calm down.

Hikaru sat up, no longer hovering over Kaoru but on his side, also trying to regain air. He looked over to see Kaoru still panting just slightly. He smirked in victory as he stood up, holding a hand out to Kaoru.

Kaoru glanced up at his smiling twin. He mirrored Hikaru's smile, accepting his hand and let Hikaru help him up. Just as Kaoru was balanced enough on his feet, Hikaru leaned forward, whispering, "I love you." His smile now became a smirk as he turned and started ahead of Kaoru, occasionally glancing back at his stunned brother.

HIKARUKAORUHIKARUKAORU

"I love you."

Hikaru repeated his words, almost in a daze. He fell against the bed's pillows, sighing loudly. Turning his head, he glanced at the curtained window and smiled, looking back at the ceiling. He brought a hand to his lips and a small smile appeared on his lips.

It was not too long ago that both Hikaru and Kaoru kissed, but the scene wouldn't just stop replaying in Hikaru's mind.

He let his hand rub gently over his lips and then it fell back to its place and his smile grew some, wondering if Kaoru couldn't stop thinking about that kiss they shared. Hikaru turned on his side, smiling brightly now. Whatever the reason, he was glad he had kissed Kaoru.

HIKARUKAORUHIKARUKAORU

A sigh escaped a bored Takeru's lips as he peered out a window, watching a few maids run back and forth. "I wonder if Kaoru knows I have feelings for him." Weekends were always boring now. He couldn't seem to enjoy them anymore, no matter how much he had tried. He chuckled, knowing how worried his maids and butlers were.

He pushed away from the window and turned.

"Akane," Takeru called out.

The girl came to a stop, and glanced over her shoulder, smiling to see that Takeru had called her over. "Yes, master Takeru?"


Takeru glanced up, chuckling. "It's fine. You can be like the other maids and just call me Takeru, okay?"

A small blush crept to her face, as she brought the tray she was holding to her face to hide said blush. "B-but, I have utter respect for you master Takeru."

Takeru smiled, shaking his head. "Okay then. About what I wanted to ask you . . ." He began with a hesitant voice, obviously not sure he wanted to share what was on his mind or not now. But Akane had urged him to, standing directly behind him now. "Would you ask a friend on a date, even if someone overly protective of them intended to keep them apart?"

Akane blinked, placing the tray on the table Takeru sat at and took a seat by him. "Is it a friend?"

Takeru nodded.

"Well, does this friend love this person?"

"They do."

"Are they sure of their feelings towards this person?"

"They are."

"Well, as long as they are sure of their feelings and feels strongly for this person, they shouldn't give up no matter who comes in their way." Akane placed a hand to her chest, closing her eyes, the blush reappearing on her face. "At least, that's how I'd deal with the situation."

Takeru stood up, smiling, agreeing with her words. "Thank you Akane, I understand." He started off, but stopped, and faced Akane. "Thank you . . . you're always a help to me. See you around." He waved, putting on his usual cheery smile and started off.


Akane waved back, and once he was out of sight, let out a shaky breath. "Oh, Takeru . . ."

Takeru looked up, recalling Akane's words and put on a smile. He was going to get to Kaoru before Hikaru, twin or no twin. He was going to have Kaoru whether Hikaru approved of him or not.

HIKARUKAORUHIKARUKAORU

"Oi! Kaoru!"

Both Hitachiin brothers turn around at the sound of a familiar voice. Kaoru blinked, wondering what Takeru was holding in his hand as he approached the both of them while Hikaru equally wondered what was in his hand, but also what he wanted with Kaoru today.

'Hey,' Hikaru frowned, remembering Friday. 'I owe Takeru something.' Hikaru was referring to the whole messed up day that Takeru gave him. When he decided it was okay to tell him that he had problems with their current history lesson. That was smart, but he was messing with one of the little devils. He was going to regret that.

"Oi, Kaoru, hey, what's up?"

Kaoru gave a small smile, waving his hand. "Nothing much, but what's that in your hand?"

Takeru looked down and held up the tickets. "Oh, this? Well," His voice trailed off as he put on a bright smile. "They're tickets! To that new carnival I heard about!" Kaoru cocked his head to the side and narrowed his eyes at the tickets. There are one, two . . . three?!

"But, Takeru, who else is going?" Kaoru was referring to the third ticket.

Takeru took said tickets out of his hand and placed one into Kaoru's hand, and held out one to Hikaru.

Kaoru elbowed Hikaru out of his thoughts of a way to get back at Takeru to see that a ticket was shoved in his face from Takeru. "What the hell is this?" He slowly took it, flipping it over to see if it was some kind of joke.

"I'm inviting you to come with me and Kaoru to that new carnival, or weren't you listening? Or could it be that you don't want to go?" Takeru reached for the ticket and Hikaru snatched his hand away that held the ticket, smirking.

"No, no! I'll go! I'm sure we'll have a great time." Hikaru put on another one of those fake smiles.

"Great." Takeru smile seemed to match Hikaru's.

Kaoru sighed, shaking his head. If he knew Hikaru, he probably agreed because of some other reason. Not just to go for fun. Whatever, at least they'd all enjoy them selves.

The trio of males walked off to class, discussing the day that they would be going, what time, and where they should meet, among other things about their trip to the carnival.

(1) Yush, I'm referring to top and bottom as in seme and uke. If you can't figure out what either set of terms mean, I don't think you should be here. UU

0 Wow. This chapter's kind of short. Sorry about that, but I think I tried my best too much on the kissing scene (which I think was okay) and now the ending and the rest of the chapter is kind of . . . meh.

Also! I'm sorry for a somewhat late update. I was suppose to update . . . about six hours ago, but I was no where done with this chapter. But with the help of a friend, I managed.

Be sure to check out Those Three Words. Because today I updated the final chapter.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!
