Chapter 6
The raven haired was practically naked yet he couldn't care less. He didn't even try to cover himself. Why would he? It's his room after all.
He saw how Kaoru glanced away and avoided looking at him, looking extremely flustered. Even Haruhi looked away showing just the tinniest shade of pink.
Izumi had tilted his head to the side, wondering what in God's name were they doing in his room. More importantly, who even let them in? "Oh I hope you don't mind that I let them in." a voice filled with humor said.
The crew turned around and saw the girl, Liviya, standing by the door. She had a wide smile on her face with her hands on her hips. "I just figured you'd be okay with this since they're such good friends of yours." she added innocently.
Izumi could clearly hear the mock in her voice. "Yes that's correct! Right Izumi?" Tamaki exclaimed as he rushed over to the raven haired. Not expecting it, he didn't have enough time to react as the blonde threw his arms around him and hugged him.
He couldn't help but clench his fists and grind his teeth as Tamaki hugged Izumi. He felt his stomach twist in a nasty way, unconsciously hating on the blonde. He didn't know why he felt such furious anger boiling inside of him.
Kaoru had never felt this way before about anyone. Not even with his brother did he feel this way. Or even when he had thought he liked Haruhi. And he isn't one to be naive about these types of things.
He searched his brain, trying to find a logical explanation to this feeling. This could only be jealousy. Deep down he already knew the answer but refused to accept it. I mean, why would I be jealous over something like this?
Someone only experiences jealousy when a person they admire or like gets a little to close to somebody else. Kaoru clearly didn't admire Izumi in any way and the other option was if he liked him. Then he suddenly remembered something from a few days ago.
The kiss Kaoru and Izumi shared had been pretty simple and brief- what a total fucking lie. That was anything but simple or brief. I mean there was tongue and everything! And we..we were also grinding together our...
Kaoru's face turned beet red and tried to block that out. But even so he recalled how he had the desire to do it again. He guessed in a way that would mean he liked Izumi. Although he wasn't ready to admit it to himself just yet. I mean he's a guy, and I'm a guy. It's just impossible. Right?
Izumi tried to push Tamaki away as he held on tighter. The blonde was getting too close to the raven haired than what was necessary; holding Izumi's body against his firmly. He was too close.
"Izumi and I are such great childhood friends. Right Izumi?" the blonde asked joyfully as he wrapped his arms tighter around Izumi's neck, placing his right cheek on Izumi's left temple- Tamaki was taller than him after all. He was, once again, completely oblivious with the glare the auburn haired twin was shooting at him.
This only angered the red little monster inside Kaoru. The raven haired frowned and tried to turn his head further away from Tamaki, "Right." Wait. What? Childhood friends?
"Boss, you've met Izumi before?" he asked astonished. Tamaki took his face away from Izumi and looked at Kaoru. "Yes! I first met him when we were both ten." he answered and gave a big grin to the twin.
The auburn haired couldn't help but envy the blonde as he heard this. Not only was Tamaki hugging Izumi, but they also knew each other from when they were little? Kaoru felt his self-esteem decrease dramatically.
He didn't fit in with them, he was just a side character in the story. He would never be able to take part as the main person, not when he was so far behind Tamaki. "Really? Tamaki, you never told us that." Honey said as he pouted, feeling left out.
"That's because he didn't remember me at first." the raven haired said as he pushed Tamaki off of him. The auburn haired wanted to laugh at Tamaki as he pouted, but remained silent.
There was a sudden clear of the throat that brought everyone's attention towards the long forgotten girl. "I would appreciate it if I wasn't ignored." Liviya said with a frown. "And I would appreciate it if I wasn't barged in on while changing." the raven haired answered back with a sigh.
Kaoru couldn't help but stare again as he was reminded of the raven haired's appearance. The only thing Izumi had on were those sexy ass boxers. He forced his eyes to climb up Izumi's body. Going past the bandages that came right after the waistline of his boxers and towards his chest.
And this is where he was completely dumbstruck.
Because Izumi's skin was a pale light color anything else would have stuck out like thumbtacks. There were, what Kaoru assumed to be, scars all over his chest. Both large and small running in different directions. There was a certain scar line that started in the middle indented area of his chest and went down, all the way to where the bandages started. There were also bruises around his shoulders, collarbone, down his arms and wrists. They were a bit faded and barely noticeable but the boy's white skin emphasized them.
Kaoru felt a hurtful pang in his stomach from just looking at them. The wound on his abdomen was bad enough already. Top the bruises and scars and you have to wonder what happened to him. From the looks of the injuries, it hasn't been too long since then.
Kaoru wanted the truth desperately. But what was he suppose to say? Hey Izumi, what happened to you? He couldn't just straight-out say that. He barely even knew the guy, much less was he close to him.
"Izumi, why do you have so many scars?" The auburn haired widened his eyes. That wasn't me right? He was thinking it but it wasn't him saying it.
Everyone's eyes went to the Lolita boy, Honey. Kaoru could visibly see Liviya in the corner narrow her eyes and glare at him. He turned to look at Izumi and saw him looking blankly at Honey. Although he seemed to be calm about it, Kaoru saw how Izumi clenched his hands and frowned a bit.
He had also noticed Tamaki give a panicked look back and forth from Izumi to Honey.
Nothing was said for a while until the blonde decided to change the subject. "Oh my! Looks like we interrupted you while you were changing!" he exclaimed to Izumi and walked towards the crew.
"We'll be waiting outside for you, take your time! Bye~!" Tamaki shooed everyone out the door, ignoring Honey's protests.
Once they all made it outside of Izumi's room, Liviya had stayed behind, Ryuu was there to take them to the living room.
As they were walking Tamaki glanced at every corner, feeling unease. Although Izumi's father was away on business, the blonde felt scared being in a place where the man is likely to be. "Alright you guys can sit here on the couches while Izumi finishes changing." the fake blonde before them said as they reached the living room.
"Would you guys like anything to drink? Eat?"
"Cake!" Honey blurted out childishly. The fake blonde nodded and turned to the rest. "Uh, maybe tea?" Hikaru said unsurely while looking at him.
Kaoru nodded absentmindedly, not really paying attention. "Alright, tea's just fine." The rest got tea too.
As Ryuu left, the crew began to make small conversation amongst themselves. But Kaoru's mind was somewhere else. To be more specific, his mind was on Izumi. It has been on him ever since their first encounter. And it irritated Kaoru immensely.
He felt like some stupid love-struck girl in one of those shojo animes. Except of course both Izumi and himself were guys. So yaoi?
Ryuu came back with a tray of cake in one hand and a tea tray in the other. He placed them both down and Honey immediately set to devouring the poor unexpected cake. As Ryuu served everyone tea, Kaoru spoke up.
"Um Ryuu?"
The fake blonde stopped what he was doing and looked up at Kaoru, "Yes?"
Kaoru felt a little embarrassed but asked anyways, "I need to use the restroom." Ryuu smiled slightly and nodded. "It's right next to the staircase." he said while pointing in the direction they just came from.
He thanked him and got up, heading towards the area that lead to the staircase and the bathroom. His heart raced as he got closer for he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. And sure enough it was Izumi walking down, fully dressed.
By that time Kaoru's heart hammered in his chest, feeling extremely nervous as he continued to walk closer. The raven haired spotted Kaoru as soon as he made it down the last step.
Blue eyes met amber, pausing as they stared at each other for a while.
Kaoru wasn't sure what he was expecting from the raven haired, but turning his gaze away from Kaoru and continue walking without any sort of acknowledgement towards the other, wasn't it.
The auburn haired continued to stare at the place Izumi was moments ago as he heard his footsteps get further away from him. He turned around confused and stared again as the raven haired didn't spare him a glance and continued to where the others were.
This was the first time Izumi had ignored him in such a way. And it hurt. It developed a pain in Kaoru's chest that he wasn't able to shake off. Feeling down all of a sudden, the auburn haired headed towards the bathroom.
Izumi shook off the urge to mess with the auburn haired as he passed him. Izumi had swore to himself to never have an intimate relationship with anyone ever again.
Although he knew this and knew in his head to not push beyond these strict boundaries, over the past few days the raven haired had kissed the auburn haired not once- not even twice- but thrice. He had to stop. Before it got to the point where he wouldn't be able to resist anymore. Before he developed deep feelings for the auburn haired. Before he hurts himself again.
This is why he didn't want to make friends, let alone have an intimate relationship. But there is something about the auburn haired that Izumi just can't stay away from no matter what.
Which is why, although he feels terrible about it, he decided from now on to ignore Kaoru. Although he wants to tease the boy, mock him, frustrate him, and kiss him, Izumi knows he shouldn't.
It's better this way. The raven haired thought as he entered the main living room area with everyone talking lowly amongst themselves. Now as to figure out why they're here.
The raven haired was forced to face a nightmare. He was not the kind of person fit to be a host and charm his way into girl's hearts. He barely knows a thing about falling in love or making someone love him. At the least, he tries to avoid it at all cost.
But here he was, dragged into this mess his stupidity led him to. How ridiculous it was to think they would leave him alone now that he accepted joining. Which leads as to why Izumi was currently being given 'lessons' by Tamaki and a 'makeover' by the twins.
After he had entered the living room area everyone suddenly ganged up on him, dragged him out of his house, and pushed him into the car waiting outside after Kaoru finished up in the bathroom. And of course the car took them all to the castle-like school of theirs. So here he was, facing a living nightmare.
Ok so I'm terribly sorry this chapter is extremely short *tear drop*
But there's a good news to this!
The next chapter will be longer! Yay!
I really didn't like this chapter but it's absolutely important so I can't do anything about it.
So I'll see you guys next time!
