Chapter Fourteen:
As Kaoru entered the familiar coffee shop, Sebastian touched his lower back and guided Kaoru gently to their usual table. Kaoru smiled quietly and blushed, letting the older man guide him. Once their coffees had been ordered, Sebastian smiled at Kaoru. "So you've definitely made your decision?" Sebastian asked the younger boy. He brushed his blond hair away from his eyes.
"Yes," Kaoru nodded and looked into Sebastian's eyes. "I'd like to become your apprentice if you still want me too."
"I'm happy that you've made your decision," Sebastian smiled a strange smile. "I'll have a few contracts written up and we can discuss the position with your mother." He took a sip of coffee. "I'd like you to start the position as soon as possible, how about we arrange a time for after school sometime next week?"
Kaoru nodded. "I quit the Host Club," he said with a sorrowful voice.
"I'm sorry," Sebastian said, not knowing what to say. Sebastian looked away and avoided Kaoru's eyes. "Was it hard to do?"
"I got angry at Tamaki," Kaoru said thoughtfully. "I just got so tired of him constantly complaining about how my brother and I act. We try to have fun. We never did anything too bad and we always got the work done, it was just our way to make Ouran a fun place to be…"
"I'm sorry, Kaoru," Sebastian said, he didn't really know what to say. However, something inside him told him that he should be happy that he had more of Kaoru to himself. Sebastian lifted his glass to his mouth and hid a small smile while Kaoru played with his spoon.
"I'm a bit bored with our usual restaurant," Sebastian muttered, carelessly. "Why don't we skip our reservation and I make you dinner at my home?" he suggested.
Kaoru shrugged and smiled. However, he felt a twinge of uncertainty. "Ok," he muttered before draining the last of his coffee.

Hikaru growled as his second driver pulled into an expensive driveway after following Sebastian's car. He watched his brother and Sebastian get out of the car. He tied up his shoe-laces, happy to be out of that silly costume. He watched as Sebastian didn't bother opening the door, but instead pressed his body against Kaoru's to share a deep kiss. Sebastian put one hand on Kaoru's hip and another on Kaoru's lower back. Hikaru got out of the car with anger...
"Hey!" He called out as he strode towards his brother and the elder man. "Get your hands off my brother." Sebastian pulled away immediately and turned to look at Hikaru. Kaoru smiled slightly; happy to see his brother, yet he felt bad knowing that his brother had just caught him kissing the older man again. Kaoru could trust the driver not to say anything to anyone, but he wasn't sure what extents his brother would go to. Sebastian glared at the older of the twins and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Or what?" Sebastian asked defiantly. "Last time I checked, it was his body I was touching, not yours." Kaoru shrunk back into a corner of the porch, slightly ashamed to be in this situation
"Get away from him," Hikaru said angrily, "I said get away from him!" Hikaru growled and push Sebastian away from his brother. Sebastian tripped over an expensive pot plant and fell down the stairs. Kaoru ran down the stairs and checked Sebastian's pulse; he was unconscious, but alive. Behind him, Kaoru heard the sound effects of the driver getting out of the car and calling an ambulance. Hikaru took a few steps down the stairs and reached for Kaoru. Kaoru turned to him in shock and pulled away out of fear.
