Seventh Day Hitachiin Household (Again)

"Romeo and Juliet?" Hikaru sneered as he crawled up next to Kaoru.

Kaoru blushed and tried to hide the book under the bed covers.

"What? What are you talking about?" Kaoru stumbled.

"That book you had!" Hikaru scowled as he tackled Kaoru down onto the bed and moved his arms around under Kaoru trying to get the book.

"Kaoru! Hikaru! What are you-" Their mother had started, but stopped when she walked into the room. She blushed lightly and responded as soon as the boys stared at her, "And what do you two devils think you're doing in my household?"

"Aii, Kaaza! Kaoru's hiding his book from me!" Hikaru scowled. "I'm just trying to get it."

"Kaoru? Are you reading something you shouldn't see?"

"No! Kaaza! It's... a classic love story," Kaoru blushed as he admitted it.

"Love story?" The two asked, curious. "When did you care about love stories?"

Kaoru's face went even redder and he struggled under Hikaru's weight. He moaned his brother's name and tried to push him off. Hikaru only smiled and finally got off of him. Hikaru told his mother, "It looked something like, Romeo and Juliet?"

"Really?" Their mom lifted an eyebrow curiously at Kaoru. "Why would some tragic love story like that interest you?"

"I'm just re-reading it!" Kaoru stumbled.

"I'm sure you are," Their mom stuck her tongue out.

Kaoru blushed and looked away. It bugged him sometimes, how much his mother reminded him of how he and Hikaru acted.

"So, is our relationship like Romeo and Juliet?" Hikaru wondered once their mom had left them alone. Kaoru blushed and shook his head slowly and leaned forward and touched his forehead to Hikaru's shoulder.

"Not really," Kaoru whispered. "Their families were in war with eachother, but they loved eachother. Eventually Juliet killed herself and Romeo killed himself with the poison remaining on her lips."

Hikaru smiled. "I... I'll have to bring that idea up to Kyouya."

"W-what?" Kaoru blushed.

"We'll be the main characters..." Hikaru teased.

But for some reason, Kaoru felt Hikaru wasn't kidding. And he wasn't.

Seventh Day Later

The Hitachiin twins met up with the rest of the Host Club, including Lex.

"Ahh, Lex!" Kaoru smiled and he bounced over to her and scooped her up into his arms. "How's my favorite little girl?"

"Fine," Lex scowled. "But you aren't doing well, are you? You sinned again, didn't you?"

Kaoru smiled a little bigger and replied, low and aggressive, "And it was fun."

Lex struggled and Kaoru set her down and she ran behind Haruhi's leg and stayed there. For some reason, Kaoru liked that feeling. He enjoyed it. Almost as much as he liked being the dominant one. Maybe children aren't so bad?

"So what do you think?" Hikaru asked. Kaoru realized that he was there again for a moment. He smiled and listened to them.

"Mmm, it's interesting, but who would be the lead roles?" Kyouya replied.

"Haruhi will be Juliet!" Tamaki volunteered, and before he could say who was Romeo, Kyouya spoke up.

"Hikaru is Romeo, excellent choice," Kyouya smiled mischievously. He was about to write it down when, for the first time, Hikaru snapped at him.

"No! Kaoru's Juliet!"

Kaoru smiled and looked away. I can only dream.

"Excuse me?" Everyone asked in disbelief.

"Kaoru's Juliet, I'm Romeo," Hikaru replied. "Is it that hard to understand?"

"No, but it's hard to believe," Haruhi replied. "You do realize there's a kissing scene right?"

Hikaru smiled.

"Hear that Kaoru?" Hikaru called.

"I read the book," Kaoru laughed.

The twins shared a glance.

They're gonna wonder why you suggested I should be Juliet.

So tell them the truth.

Oh really now? What's that?

I can't stand being without you.

Kaoru blushed and looked away.

"Hikaru!" Kaoru whined.

Hikaru laughed and stalked over and put his hand on Kaour's shoulder.

"It'll be fun," Hikaru cooed and brought Kaoru's lips close to his. "Should we practice my kissing? I want to get it purrfect."

Kaoru blushed and gazed into Hikaru's eyes and sighed.

"If you want, I guess," Kaoru gave up.

Hikaru smiled and pulled Kaoru off.

"Read this story to me!" Hikaru started as he was taking Kaoru home.

"No," Kaoru scowled. "No way."

"Why not?"

"Mom's already suspicious from this morning when you tackled me!"

"Oh, you know you liked it!"

"That's not the point Hikaru!"

"So it's true?"

"I-I never said that!"

"But you applied it," Hikaru cooed as he ran his hand down Kaoru's back.

"Hikaru!"

Hikaru's POV

Kaoru's been acting really weird lately. I'd never admit this to him, but I like it. The way he shivers when I touch him; the way he shivers makes me want to do it even more. I'd never tell him that though, he'd probably kill me. I want to him that, that I like the way he shivers, that I like the way he looks at me. That I love the way he snuggles up with me. Hell, I could make a whole list on all the reasons why I love him! Can't really think of any reason why I hate him...

I guess, I hate him for making me feel weird like. I don't know what it is, but he's my brother, and I know that. I hate him for giving me nightmares about him leaving me. I hate him for making me cry worst of all. I hate him for crying himself. I just want to take all his pain away.

I'm gonna like this Romeo and Juliet play. Believe it or not, I'm really nervous and uptight about this kissing scene. Kaoru looks so cute when I talk about it though and he blushes, so it's probably gonna be loads of fun. I noticed Kaoru is starting to get along with Lex... err, Lex is becoming afraid of Kaoru, what's happened? The fear changed positions or something. Whatever it is, I like it. Kaoru cuddles more.

I like this new predicament... does Kaoru too?

Then why do I see him crying when he thinks I'm not looking?
