Eight Day During Club

Kaoru was walking outside, waiting for someone. He felt weird, waiting for someone that wasn't Hikaru. Hikaru was going to go home, but then he insisted he was fine and he stayed, but now he was at the club.

Kaoru had recieved a note earlier in the day:

Dear Hitachiin Kaoru,

I've noticed you around for awhile, and I'd just like to say that I'd like to meet you sometime. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you meet me in the Rose Maze after school? I know you have club, but I'd feel too embarassed if I walked into the club because of how I look.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd like you to come alone, your brother Hikaru-kun doesn't seem to be nice and he'd probably beat me up or yell at me after he read this. He seems pretty protective of you.

Thank you so much,

Your secret admirer

Kaoru had been baffled by the note. He had a secret admirer? Then the person was probably right, Hikaru probably would yell. Beat them up though? Hikaru doesn't beat up girls.

"Maybe..." Kaoru whispered as he arrived at the Rose Maze. "It's not a... girl?"

Kaoru ran into the Rose Maze and ran into a person by the table hidden in the roses.

"Hi..." The person greeted, blushing. "You're Kaoru-kun right?"

Kaoru stood speechless and nodded.

"Yes, yes I am."

At Club

Hikaru was pacing and walking over to the window and staring out of it, even though he knew the fountain was below and not the place where Kaoru was meeting his admirer. He was upset, and he wanted to beat the person up. Something worried him though.

Is it that guy from class who wouldn't stop staring at him?

"Hikaru-kun? Are you okay?" Some of his designators asked.

"Mmm, Kaoru's meeting an admirer," Hikaru replied.

"Ooh, an admirer?" They squealed.

Hikaru touched the window.

"He wasn't there."

Hikaru blinked. Where did that come from? Where did those words come from? Where they his? No, they were Kaoru's, but Kaoru wasn't here. He was in the Rose Maze.

Suddenly he got a bit excited, maybe the person wasn't there? Then a lump caught his throat. He wasn't there. Kaoru sounded dissapointed. Did Kaoru think it was a guy who was crushing on him? No, Kaoru would've said something like, "Oh, they weren't here."

Hikaru felt nervous. Was he... talking about Hikaru?

"Kaoru..." Hikaru whined.

The girls stared at eachother and shrugged.

Lex walked over and stood next to Hikaru.

"I saw," Lex replied.

"Saw what?" Hikaru growled.

"The way you looked at him. No one else saw."

Hikaru felt sick and he wanted to cry suddenly.

"We're brothers."

"But you don't want to be just brothers, do you?"

Hikaru felt angry and he clenched his fists.

"Why did you sin with him, anyway?" Lex asked quietly. "No one's listening."

Hikaru took a deep breath and blushed. Finally, he replied, "We were curious, about the dynamics."

"What do you mean?" Lex questioned further.

"Well, it's just..."

Haruhi walked over, "Lex-chan? Are you bugging Hikaru?"

They both shook their heads.

"I'm asking Hika-chan a personal question."

"A question we'd like to know too," Kyouya and Tamaki replied as they walked over with Mori and Hunny behind them, nodding their heads.

Hikaru sighed.

"Not with people here."

Kyouya took a long time to get all the customers out, telling them that Club had ended early and trying to be as nice and romantic as possible. It almost was enough to make Hikaru burst out laughing, with how the girls took it. Somehow, the deed was done and everyone crowded around Hikaru.

"Who did Kaoru have sex with?" Some of them asked and Hikaru blushed.

"Well... it was..."

"Him," Lex responded for Hikaru.

First a look of disgust, then surprise, then amusement crossed the member's faces.

"Why did you two do that?" Tamaki asked finally.

"Well, we were... listening to mom and dad I guess. They were watching a movie, and we got curious and we asked mom and dad about it. They tried to explain it, but Kaoru and I were still curious. We wanted to know how it looked. So... we... tried it."

Hikaru blushed and sat on the window and stared out the window.

"That's, basically it," Hikaru finished.

"But, a man and a man?" Tamaki asked curiously. "How did that solve your questions?"

"I... I never said it did!" Hikaru replied, his face pure red.

"Did you ever do it again?" Haruhi wondered.

"None of your business," Hikaru scowled.

"Do you want to do it again?" Kyouya inquired.

"Umm, no, why would I?"

Kyouya smiled and looked away. "No reason."

With Kaoru

Kaoru was laughing with the person and stroking the rose's petals.

"You're really funny," Kaoru admitted.

"You really think so?" The person asked.

"Yeah, I do..." Kaoru whispered.

The person smiled at Kaoru and touched his hand. Kaoru winced for a moment at how cold it was.

People on the outside don't feel the same as we do.

Kaoru looked at them and smiled.

"You like roses?" Kaoru asked.

The person blushed and nodded. "Yeah, don't tell anyone else that though."

Kaoru laughed and blushed a bit. "No problem."

Kaoru took a rose off the Maze and put it in the persons hair.

"There you go, maybe I should give you one for Valentine's day too, no?" Kaoru laughed.

"I-I'd like that," the person stumbled. "Say, why are you so sad all the time?"

Kaoru stopped and thought about it and replied, "He wasn't there when I came back for him."

"Oh..."

Kaoru smiled and moved a piece of hair out of the persons face.

"Don't worry about it," Kaoru chuckled. "It's okay, really."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

The person looked at Kaoru unsure.

"I'm... okay."

Finally the person grabbed Kaoru's hand as it rested on their forehead. They smiled and blushed lightly.

Kaoru smiled and whispered, "You're... really pretty."

"I always thought you were like Hikar-kun. You're not though, you're really nice and sweet."

Kaoru closed his eyes and blushed.

The person walked closer to Kaoru and kissed Kaoru's forehead.

"Can I come to the Host Club?"

"You might be embarassed, and Hikaru and I are always together," Kaoru explained warily.

"You know what? I don't really care anymore," The person replied and looked straight into Kaoru's eyes. "Can I do something that I've wanted to do for a long time now?"

Kaoru nodded and added, "As long as you don't rape me, it's okay."

The person laughed and locked lips with Kaoru. Kaoru blushed and carefully wrapped his arms around the person.

Kaoru's POV

I met someone really wonderful today. It was really nice, they were really kind and sweet, and interested in romantic stories even! It was nice to be able to talk to someone about stuff that really interested me besides Hikaru. Besides, Hikaru had different views than me. He liked children and he wanted to get married. Another weird thing happened while I was with this wonderful and weird person. First, this person was an outsider. Second...

The person was a man.

I'd noticed him in class sometimes, he'd stare at me and blush whenever I looked his way, and then he'd quickly turn around. I always thought it was because I was weird or something. Or maybe he could see through me, maybe he knew how I really felt about the male who always sat beside me. It was weird. I had my first kiss. Well...

My first kiss with an outsider that is.
