Warnings: The usual

Enjoy chapter fifteen!


Chapter 15

There was a scowl on the boy's face as he poked his thigh. True to its green purplish color, the bruise ached and hurt even when he barely touched it. He sighed and stood, fully naked, in front of the other boy sitting on the bed.

"Izumi look." The raven haired boy, who had just woken up, looked up lazily. "What?" he asked and tilted his head at the just-showered boy.

"Look at this." Kaoru said and pointed at the big bruise on his upper thigh. Izumi stared at it for a while, then shrugged.

"Okay, what about it?" he questioned looking back up at Kaoru. The auburn haired sighed in frustration, "That's where you bit me." Izumi just quirked an eyebrow, "And?"

"Did you have to bite me that hard!? It hurts!" Kaoru shouted and glared at the raven haired. The boy just have him a blank look, "Well, you were too loud."

The auburn haired blushed slightly. "It slipped out." he mumbled. Izumi laughed a little at that. "Does it hurt that much?" he asked, reaching his fingers towards the bruise.

Kaoru jerked back, "Yes! Don't touch it!" Izumi reached out his hand again and Kaoru backed up. "I'm not going to do anything." he reassured. The auburn haired vaguely moved towards him little by little. Izumi reached out again and gently brushed the bruise.

Kaoru blushed a little at the unfamiliar expression Izumi had on. He wasn't sure what expression it was. Desire? Fondness? Concern? He didn't know but it wasn't one he's seen on Izumi before. The raven haired leaned forward and quickly kissed the bruise before Kaoru could react.

The boy's blush deepened immensely at the action. "Wha-?" Izumi gave him a big grin. "Does that make it better?" he asked, laughing a little. Kaoru glared at him and walked away, his face still darkening.

"N-no it doesn't!" he stuttered out, walking over to the pile of clothes he managed to grab out of the guest room he and Hikaru were staying at. "And go shower! You stink!" he shouted. He heard Izumi laugh out loud behind him.

"You're the one that dirtied me."

Kaoru turned around abruptly, "Izumi!" He could just imagine his blush lingering on his cheeks longer than what was wanted. "And how about putting on some clothes first before saying anything to me?"

Kaoru glared and grabbed the clean boxers from the pile, "I'm putting them on!"


"Where did you go last night?" The auburn haired jumped at the sudden voice. With a startled look he turned around, it was his brother. Hikaru was standing by the entrance of the kitchen, dressed in his school uniform and frowning.

"What?" he asked, missing what Hikaru said. His twin sighed, "You weren't there when I woke up." Kaoru made sure to keep a straight face. "I got up earlier."

He did not want Hikaru finding out about his stay with Izumi last night. True, his brother knew he liked Izumi but it's not like they were going out. At least, not yet.

Hikaru was about to say something else but at that time Tamaki and Izumi walked in. "Izumi, don't do that next time. I was really lonely." the blonde whined. The raven haired besides him rolled his eyes, "Then listen when I tell you to not go in my room."

Hikaru frowned when he saw Izumi. He didn't have a problem with the new host. And it's not like he minds Kaoru liking Izumi. It's just that sometimes he gets a little mad whenever his brother leaves him behind.

Tamaki continued to whine while Izumi just ignored him. They all went over to the table where breakfast had already been served by both Ryuu and Liviya. The rest of the hosts came down at the same time and they all sat down.

Izumi was about to just dig in when Haruhi elbowed him. She told him they all had to give thanks first. "Japanese people and their damn traditions." he grumbled under his breath.

After they all gave thanks and began eating Kyouya spoke up. "Izumi, you do realize you're Japanese yourself, right?" he directed towards the raven haired sitting in front of him. Izumi scowled, "Of course I know that. But I haven't lived here in a long time. I'm more used to America."

For a while it was quiet as everyone ate in silence. Honey spoke up once he was finished with his breakfast. "Izumi, you don't look very Japanese to me." the Lolita boy said once he took a good look at him. Izumi was about to answer when Kyouya beat him to it. "Like Tamaki, Izumi is only half Japanese. His mother's from England." the four eyed explained.

Izumi began scowling again. Kyouya was seriously getting on his nerves. "Oh Izumi, I've been meaning to ask you," the four eyed started. "Where is your father?"

Izumi froze. That wasn't something he expected to be asked. Not yet, at least. But he managed to regain his composure before anyone noticed. "I would've imagined you of all people should know this. He's on business." Izumi said, giving Kyouya an inexpressive face.

"Yes, but where is he on business?" Kyouya elaborated. It took everything Izumi had to not glare or scowl at him. "I don't know. He didn't tell me." he said, a little harshly too. "How do you not know? You're his son."

The raven haired sighed in frustration and ruffled his hair. "Or are you hiding the truth of where he is?" The silverware that was in Izumi's hands was slammed down on the table. "I'm not hiding anything. I really don't know." Izumi snarled.

Kaoru watched anxiously at what was happening. Everyone was. They all saw how Izumi was getting angrier by the second. "Really? I would've guessed he'd be on one of those breaking-in jobs." Kaoru narrowed his eyes at Kyouya. What the hell is he after with this?

Izumi raised an eyebrow. "He stopped doing those jobs after he married my mother." he said. He was irritated and fed up with be conversation. "And no one else in the family urges him to continue?" Kyouya asked.

"My father and I are the last ones left in the clan." Izumi sighed. He ruffled his hair again. "So your father is the last family you have?"

There was a silence in the table that worried him. Finally Izumi spoke up, "Not really, I have Ryuu and Liviya too." Kaoru cringed at that. He could already tell this was going to end ugly. "They're not related to you by blood. So they're not family."

Kaoru saw the raven haired besides him giving Kyouya a glare. "Even if, I still consider them my family." Izumi countered. Kaoru could just barely hear the slight growl in his tone. Oh God why doesn't anyone stop them? He looked over at everyone and noticed their troubled expressions. Not even Haruhi could do anything.

"Are you really that naive?" Kyouya asked. "Excuse me?" Izumi was beyond furious by then. "Izumi, you can't keep thinking that they're actually family to you." the four eyed said and pushed up his glasses.

Izumi stayed quiet. He was at his limit. Who knows what he'll say if he speaks. "They're just working for you. That's it." Calm down. This isn't that bad. Izumi reassured himself. "I mean, what are you going to do once they stop working here?" Izumi clenched his hands. Calm down Izumi. Don't let him get to you. "You can't honestly believe they'll stay here their whole lives." Calm dow- What? "Don't you think they'll eventually want to start their own lives soon?"

Hands were slammed down on the table hard. The chair scratched against the floor from Izumi standing up abruptly. Kaoru cringed and waited for the boy to start shouting or something. But it never came. The raven haired just stayed quiet.

When he spoke it wasn't what Kaoru was expecting. "I'm going to school now." Izumi mumbled. He grabbed his bag and left the dining area without a word. When Kaoru heard the front door open, he stood up as well. He glared at Kyouya first, then grabbed his bag and ran after Izumi. "Izumi, wait!" he called out.

"Kyouya, was that really necessary?" Haruhi sighed. Kyouya just pushed up his glasses. "I was just making conversation." he said nonchalantly. Everyone else just stayed quiet.

Hikaru frowned and glanced over at the corner Kaoru disappeared to. That's what he meant. Kaoru is always sticking with Izumi and leaving him behind. It bothered him.

"Hikaru, are you done?"

The eldest twin glanced towards Haruhi and immediately pushed his thoughts aside. "Yes I am." he replied with a smile. "Then I'm going to leave the dishes in the sink." she said and stood up, picking up her plate.

"Ah I'll help!" Hikaru said and hurriedly picked up his plate and others, following after her. Once they entered the kitchen Hikaru was the first to speak up. "Haruhi, before I forget. There's something I wanted to ask you about our last lesson." he said, eager to start a conversation with the girl.


"Izumi are you okay?" Kaoru asked, looking at the raven haired walking besides him. The boy sighed, "Yes I am. Stop worrying." Kaoru frowned and looked down.

"But you seemed kind of mad earlier." he mumbled. Izumi ruffled his own hair, messing it up even more. "I was a little pissed but I'm fine now." he said.

Kaoru gave him a small smile. "That's good. And stop doing that." he said and pushed away Izumi's hands from his hair. "You're messing up your hair." Kaoru attempted to fix the messy raven locks himself.

Izumi blushed and glanced away. He grabbed Kaoru's hands and looked back at him. The auburn haired raised an eyebrow.

"What?" he asked when Izumi kept staring at him in silence. Izumi looked around the street they were in, they were walking to school since Izumi's house was close by.

Izumi's blush darkened. "It's not like anyone gives a shit about my hair anyways." he mumbled and walked ahead of Kaoru.

He smirked a little and grabbed something out of his bag. Kaoru took off the cap and hid his hand behind his back. With his free hand he grabbed Izumi's shoulder and pulled him back.

The boy stopped walking and looked at him with his head tilted. Kaoru grabbed the tie Izumi recently started wearing. Kyouya had complained about it being indecent to not wear one.

Izumi got all flustered again when Kaoru pulled him down by his tie and kissed him. Izumi jerked back and opened his mouth to complain when Kaoru sprayed him with something.

He laughed at Izumi's face as he tried to figure out what he was sprayed with. "Breath spray." Kaoru said with a grin and showed Izumi the small bottle. "You have a really dirty mouth Izumi. You're always cursing." he said.

Izumi was a silent for a few seconds, then he was scowling and walking away again.

He heard Kaoru laugh behind him. "You curse too, so shut up." Izumi growled. Kaoru walked up besides and smiled. "Not nearly as much as you." he teased.

"Whatever but don't do that kind of stuff in public. Someone will see." Izumi said. Kaoru felt a little joy when Izumi scowled the rest of the way. Although as soon as they got to school Kaoru wrapped his arm around Izumi's. When Kaoru did that Izumi jumped and got flustered again.

Izumi glared and shook the auburn haired off. "Get off!" He walked off between the crowd of people. "And don't follow me!" he snapped.

Well looks like he's back to normal. Kaoru laughed lightly to himself and decided to wait by the gate for the rest of the crew. And once they were there Kaoru regretted it. "Kaoru you can't leave like that without saying anything!" Hikaru scolded.

The twins argued for a while. Kaoru was trying to calm Hikaru down, who was mad about being left behind. "Guys, stop arguing. And Hikaru, it's not a big deal Kaoru just accompanied Izumi." Haruhi said. The eldest twin turned around. "But he-"

The girl gave him a look that made him halt midway in his sentence. Hikaru sighed, "Alright, I get it."

Kaoru gave his brother a worried look. What's with him lately?


The dressing room contained two boys. One was quirking an eyebrow and the other was shaking his head. "Izumi, put it on." the former told him. Izumi continued to shake his head. "No, I refuse." Kaoru glared, "You don't have a choice in the matter. Put it on."

Still the raven haired stubbornly refused. "I can't put it on." he said. Kaoru sighed and put a hand on his hip. "And why not?" Izumi frowned, "The collar is too open." Kaoru looked at the costume he was holding. "Okay, and?" he shrugged, not seeing the problem.

Izumi went to ruffle his hair but immediately stopped when Kaoru glared at him. The auburn haired had recently finished doing his hair. "It's going to show." Izumi sighed out. The boy raised an eyebrow, "What is?"

"That damn hickey you gave me." Izumi growled. Kaoru stared at him for a few seconds, not believing how stupid he could be. "You idiot. Put on the costume and let me do the rest." Izumi glared at him but otherwise changed into the costume.


"Stop touching it. It's not noticeable." Kaoru whispered while elbowing Izumi when he started to fidget with the collar of his costume. Izumi scowled, "I feel exposed." Kaoru just rolled his eyes at how ridiculous he was being. "The only part of you exposed is your collar bone, shoulders, and arms." He's being so dramatic about nothing.

"You're not even wearing something open like Mori. So stop complaining." Izumi was about to touch the concealed hickey on his neck when Kaoru elbowed him again. Harder this time.

He scowled and rubbed his ribs. "Well you're lucky since your costume completely covers your neck and that." he muttered, referring to the hickey. Kaoru didn't have to put on makeup on the hickey to conceal it like he did.

Kaoru rolled his eyes and sighed. He was about to say something else when Izumi was abruptly pushed to the side. "Come on, the girls are almost here." Hikaru, who apparently pushed Izumi, told Kaoru. He was a little shocked at what Hikaru did and his brother took advantage of that and grabbed his arm.

Hikaru pulled him away from Izumi, which was strange to Kaoru, and half-glared at the raven haired. Then he continued to drag Kaoru away from him.

Izumi raised an eyebrow at Kaoru and he just shrugged back. Izumi frowned but decided it's best to just stay quiet. He walked over to the rest of the crew who were getting in position to open the door of Music Room 3. The door was opened and in came the girls. They excitedly looked around.

The girls, as always, all loved the costume and decorations. Today's theme was pirates. The girls squealed when Honey and Mori fought with the plastic swords. It was especially cute since Honey had to stand on a stool. With the eye patch and accent they put on, the girls all watched with wide eyes.

Kyouya just sat down in his usual table with his notebook out. Though this time, Kyouya wrote with a feather pen and ink.

Haruhi just sat down and talked with the girls as usual. Nothing big for the normal type. Tamaki was obviously the captain and wore the big pirate hat. He even wore a hook on his left hand. The girls all listened carefully while the blonde told them the story of how he lost his hand. The twins did their usual brotherly love. Hinting to the girls about what they did one time on a night shift while watching the ship. Just enough to make them blush and squeal, while at the same time still being appropriate.

The newest host, Izumi, sat down with his two usual guests. Nothing big on his part as a typeless host.

"Is that necklace part of the costume or...?" Yuka asked, eyeing the beautiful marble pendant. Izumi took hold of it and smiled. "It's mine." he said. "It's so pretty! Right Mai?" the red head asked turning towards the quiet girl.

Mai smiled and nodded, "It is. Where did you get it?" she directed towards Izumi. "My mother gave it to me a few days before she passed away. It used to be hers." Mai felt a little bad. Maybe I shouldn't have asked that?

On the other hand, Yuka grinned widely. "You must really cherish it then." she said. Izumi flushed a little and smiled bashfully. "Yeah, I do."

Mai stared astonished at Yuka. She always knows the right thing to say. "I recently got the chain replaced. It was broken." Izumi said. This peaked Mai's interest. "How did it break?"

The raven haired stayed silent for a while. Mai saw how Izumi frowned and fidgeted. "I... dropped it." he answered slowly, as if he didn't know what to say.

"Well good thing you got it fixed, right?" Yuka said with a warm smile. It must be something personal for him to talk about. "Oh and Izumi, this is the first time I see you wearing something that shows some skin~!" she exclaimed, changing the subject.

The raven haired blushed and scowled, "Tamaki picked this. Not me." he defended. Mai sighed inwardly. I have to seriously watch what I say.

From the far corner of the music room watched a girl with a pirate costume just like the hosts. With a fixed look she watched the typeless raven haired host. She noted how he blushed at something his guests told him and later he would scowl.

His guests cooed over him when he became bashful like this. The girl watching them smirked wickedly. "Perfect." she said to herself. She glanced at the time on her phone. Nearly time to close. I should do it now.

Everyone else didn't notice the girl, they were all too busy entertaining their guests. The girl walked up to the middle of the music room and stood there with her hands on her hips. She cleared her throat loudly.

"Ahem! Everyone may I please get your attention!" she shouted, loud enough to surely capture their attention. The hosts and guests all looked over at the girl in a pirate costume. "Ah it's Renge!" a guest recognized immediately.

Renge smiled and nodded. "I have finally decided on the type for our newest host Izumi Kaneko!" she announced. All the guests cheered and the hosts listened intently. Giving all their attention to the otaku.

Izumi on the other hand, gave a frightened look at Renge. Who knows what type she'll name him. Hopefully not something embarrassing.

The otaku glanced over at Izumi and smirked again. "But first, I have one last question for you Izumi." The raven haired tilted his head in question.

"What's your sexual orientation?" Renge asked. At this everyone looked over at Izumi. Now that it was mentioned everyone wondered the same thing, even the hosts. What was Izumi exactly?

He fidgeted when everyone started staring at him. He wasn't used to all the attention yet. "I'm bisexual." he answered and ruffled his hair nervously. "I knew it!" Yuka shouted which caused Izumi to jump.

Renge nodded approvingly. "Perfect. Then from now on Izumi shall be," She paused for a bit before continuing. "The tsundere type!" The music room was erupted in squeals from the guests. "What did I tell you Mai!? I was right!" Yuka exclaimed. The quiet girl besides her nodded and smiled at her friend.

By then all the guests went over to Izumi and cooed over him, making him embarrassed. Izumi flustered and scowled at them when they teased him about what he was named. He was no longer a typeless host. He was now The Tsundere type.


"You seem a little mad." Izumi turned around and scowled when he saw Kaoru. "No shit. You try being pestered all day by fucking yellow marshmallows." he growled back.

Kaoru shook his head and glanced over at Hikaru, Tamaki, and Haruhi sitting down and talking. Everyone else had already gone home.

Kaoru grabbed Izumi's arm and dragged him away. The boy didn't say anything as Kaoru took them to the kitchen. He shut the door softly and turned towards Izumi. The raven haired seemed to know what was going on for he leaned in when Kaoru reached for him.

Their lips met each other halfway. Kaoru pressed himself against the other and opened his mouth as soon as Izumi nipped his lip. Allowing his tongue to slip inside. Izumi grunted when the shorter boy roughly pulled his hair.

The raven haired growled at the rough treatment and brought his hands down Kaoru's back. He grabbed his hips in a firm grip and grinded against him hard. Kaoru gasped and whimpered lightly, moving forward to those hips.

The auburn haired pulled in Izumi by his hair. He kissed him aggressively and startled Izumi by pushing him against the wall.

Kaoru pulled back and smirked at the blush the other was forming from being asserted by him. "You're not used to someone taking control, huh?" he teased. Izumi blushed a dark shade of red and scowled at him. "Shut up." he growled. Kaoru chuckled and leaned in close to the boy's ear. "You really are such a tsundere, Izumi." he whispered slyly.

Tsundere? Why the hell does everyone think that? It pisses him off how everyone called him that. And Kaoru was no exception.

The raven haired growled and abruptly turned them around and slammed Kaoru to the wall. The boy cringed at the harsh treatment and slight pain on his shoulders. Izumi leaned in dangerously close, giving Kaoru a menacing glare.

"Don't test me." he warned. His harsh tone caused a chill down Kaoru's spine. Was he supposed to be frightened or excited? He felt daring despite the warning, yet at the same time he felt fear telling him to watch out. It was thrilling to him.

Izumi back off and sighed. This wasn't the time or place to be doing these types of things. "We should go back before they start wondering where we went." he said. The auburn haired snapped out of his trance and nodded. They both walked over to the door when Kaoru stopped them. "Wait hold still." he said and reached up.

He brushed his fingers through Izumi's hair, he was the one who messed it up after all. Izumi let him and stayed still. After a few seconds it looked decent enough to go out. Kaoru grinned, "There." Izumi rolled his eyes and proceeded to open the door of the kitchen area.

"Let's go Kaoru! It's late!" Hikaru shouted as soon as the two boys walked out of the kitchen. He walked over to his brother and pulled him away. "W-wait- Hikaru hold on! I haven't said good-... I'll see you guys tomorrow!" Kaoru yelled out, stuttering over his own words as Hikaru ignored him and pulled him out the music room.

Izumi frowned once the door was closed once again. With the twins gone, the only ones left were Tamaki, Haruhi, and him. Izumi grabbed his things and was about to leave when Tamaki pulled him into a hug.

"No! I want to walk you home Izumi~!" the blonde whined, holding onto him tightly. Izumi sighed and leaned in close to the blonde's ear. "Why don't you walk Haruhi home instead? It's late so I'm sure she'll appreciate it." he whispered only for Tamaki to hear.

Izumi made the other let him go and saw how Tamaki was blushing slightly. He smirked a little then turned towards Haruhi and gave her a smile. "I'll see you tomorrow Haruhi." he called out. Then he turned around and left the music room.

Maybe a little push will help them better. It's not like he was interfering or anything. Just a little push in the right direction.
