Note: Now that it's the weekend, I'll be righting a lot more. I thank all my reviewers! I love your positive feedback!
The Sixteenth Day Suoh Household
Kaoru sat in Tamaki's room, petting the dog, refusing to go downstairs.
Tamaki had called a meeting.
Kaoru refused to join them.
"It's so stupid," Kaoru scowled. "They're probably gonna say how Hikaru and I are losing money and profits for the Club."
Kaoru stopped his hand midstroke.
"Maybe... the Black Magic Club isn't so bad?"
Kaoru shook his head and the dog licked his face and Kaoru laughed.
"You're right, I'm a highschooler, I shouldn't worry about this. I'm only in... 10th grade as the English call it?" Kaoru replied as he laughed and began petting the dog again.
Kaoru layed down and snuggled up on Tamaki's bed. Something about it felt familiar.
"Did Milord and Neko take me to this house when I was passed out?" Kaoru wondered aloud.
He touched the pillows and smiled.
"It's so nice."
Kaoru sat up and laughed and blushed a bit.
"Man, if I ever had a sleepover at Milord's home I'd want his bed," Kaoru chuckled to himself.
He turned his head and stared at the wall and closed his eyes. The dog nudged his hand so Kaoru began to pet it again. Kaoru, was hurting. He was alone again, he'd been alone a lot for awhile now as Kaoru remembered. Kaoru opened his eyes and looked at the dog, smiled, and gave her a big hug, making her groan a bit.
Kaoru laughed, "I need to get a dog."
Kaoru stroked her head and replied, more solemn and quiet, "Dog's are loyal, they'd never leave you."
An idea hit Kaoru and he burst out laughing. "Milord's like a DOG!"
The door opened as Kaoru laughed and laughed as he tried to pet the dog.
"What's so funny?" Haruhi asked as she walked in.
He stopped and looked up at her.
"What do you want?"
Haruhi blinked, raised an eyebrow, then walked in and closed the door.
"I wanted to talk to you," Haruhi replied.
"Is anyone out there?"
Haruhi shook her head and sat on the bed next to Kaoru. She scooted as close as she could until Kaoru felt uncomfortable, then she scooted back a bit. Kaoru opened his eyes widely. How did she know I was uncomfortable with that?
She looked at Kaoru and smiled. Kaoru blushed.
"You're really pretty, you know that?"
Haruhi blinked and cocked her head. "Really?"
Kaoru nodded, "Definetly. You are really blunt, but it's really attractive."
Haruhi blushed and looked away. "You... really think so?"
He smiled kindly and scooted closer to her, inside of his uncomfortable zone, and put his hand on Haruhi's.
"Nope, I know so."
She smiled brightly and gave Kaoru a hug.
Kaoru hugged her back and closed his eyes.
"You're really nice," They both replied.
Haruhi blushed and she took herself back a bit, her arms still around him, and looked into his eyes.
"You wanna go to a restaurant?" Kaoru blushed. "Like... a date?"
Haruhi blinked. "Have you ever gone on a date?"
Kaoru shook his head. "You?"
She shook her head as well, but she replied, "You and Hikaru do everything before you let anyone else do it with you. You had sex with him before you had it with anyone else, you kissed him, you hugged him..."
"Just because twins doesn't mean everything has to be identical on the important stuff," Kaoru responded quietly. "I can do stuff different than Hikaru if I want to. I just never wanted to before."
"You... want to go out with me?" Haruhi wondered, blushing.
Kaoru slowly smiled. "Yes, more than anything. I have a question though, would you go out with Hikaru for me?"
Haruhi thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Not until I know how things go with you."
Kaoru stared into her eyes for a few, long moments. Is... this real? Is this girl real?
Slowly, his lips formed a smile.
"Good answer."
He pulled her back into the full embrace. It was weird how this all happened. All at Tamaki's house. Oh, they'd all be furious if they ever found out.
"Don't tell the rest of the Club," They both requested at the same time.
Then they both laughed and pulled away.
Like a twin with different eyes, a different face... Kaoru opened his mouth and blushed. I don't really want to think of her as a twin. I'm afraid to.
Kaoru pulled his hands away from her and he scooted away and looked away as well.
I'm afraid to touch her. This isn't something that is supposed to happen to me.
Kaoru looked back at her and began crying. It quickly turned into sobs, thus bawling.
Haruhi scooted closer and hugged Kaoru.
"What's wrong?" Haruhi asked.
Kaoru held her tighter.
Please God, let something go right. Let me have happiness, even for a day.
He pulled away and looked her in the face, then he cried a little harder and he went back into the hug.
"Kaoru?"
Kaoru shook his head. "No, don't talk."
Haruhi smiled. "Okay."
Something's bound to go wrong. Something has to go wrong now. Hikaru's gonna find out, Dad's gonna find out, Chris will find out...
Nothing good stays with me. Please, let me have a reason to live.
Just let me have something to live for.
Haruhi's POV
I guess... I've kind of noticed it lately. I care more for Kaoru in this strange, weird way, than I do for the rest of the Club members. It's like, well, I don't really know how to explain it. It's odd, how I've looked at Kaoru lately. I kind of like it.
He asked me out. That's when I realized what it was. I... like Kaoru. I'm kind of afraid to admit it. I've never liked someone before. I've always just been here for education, never love, never fun. I kind of like Tamaki-sempai and Hikaru. I'd never tell Kaoru that though. Tamaki-sempai just has this magical air that goes over you. I thought maybe he was a wizard once, but it doesn't seem likely anymore. I mean, wizards are smart!
Hikaru just... he's so sweet, but he acts out way too much. I don't think he'd be able to take my attitude, he'd get mad at me and everything. I really don't want someone to get mad and jealous all the time. I don't really want someone obsessing over me so much.
Kaoru's... different. He's really sweet, with a dark side to him. I know that already. I've always known it. He has this little twinkle when he's with Hikaru and when they're about to do something horrible and devilish. I guess, that's what I first fell in love with. I still love that. Kaoru's more sweet and sensitive than Hikaru is. It's really adorable, I like it a lot. If we go out, I feel like I'd be able to talk to Kaoru about just about anything. I'm not really aware on the whole gender thing, so I can talk to him about guy and girl stuff. He's more calm, he'll be able to take that.
Yes, I like Hikaru a lot too, a whole lot. Only, I feel really horrible for Kaoru and I've noticed the true differences between everyone's attitudes for the time that Lex has been here. It's really nice to see the true sides. It's also really nice to see Kaoru cry. I've never seen that before. Lex-chan has told me that she feels dreadfully awful for being so mean to Kaoru. I kind of agree with her on that. It's nice that she's sorry for it.
I don't really know who I like more than the other. Ahh, I kind of like every guy in the Host Club in their own special way.
Oh man, what am I gonna do?
