They were bored again, so they started fighting, it might've gotten a tinsy bit farther than expected. Or a lot.

"You're a pervert Kaoru," Hikaru hissed.

"Not as much as you," Kaoru snapped back.

"I can't believe you're my brother."

"I can. Every dysfunctional person needs someone to keep them in check. Just so happens that in this relationship, you're the dysfunctional one," Kaoru teased, trying to get his point across, confusing Hikaru with this. This was going out of the script.

What are you doing?

Telling the truth.

You're not... you can't...! That's cheating!

Whatever.

Hikaru was mad now, and he was going to get back at Kaoru for that one.

"Oh? Well you put your hands in my... ahem... pants. Remember? The other day? That was nasty Kaoru," Hikaru teased, smirking triumphantly.

THAT was cheating. Hikaru knew what that was. Kaoru was joking around and put some ice down Hikaru's pants, but their mom yelled at them, so Kaoru had to get them out. It was quite a disturbing position, but nothing came of it, surely. Kaoru was behind Hikaru, reaching down into his pants, taking the ice out, but Hikaru struggled and Kaoru's hand slipped down Hikaru's pants and into there. It wasn't a big deal. Not like they hadn't done it before, but apparently it wasn't normal, so Hikaru tried to keep it secret.

"Only because you know I love that look you give me when you get what you want," Kaoru came back, smirking maliciously at how proud he was at his comeback as it made Hikaru blush. Hikaru stuttered but he took awhile to think of a comeback.

What the hell?

You played dirty, brother. I just had to get back at you. Besides, it's true, you had a cute look on your face, and I know why you were struggling, you dirty, dirty boy. You only... ooh, I got a good one!

No! Kaoru! Stop!

"Well, we both know you wished it was Haruhi whose hands were down your pants," Kaoru added, a dark look crossing his eyes.

Now it's war. They both thought.

"Oooh," Some of the girls oohed as everyone paid attention after the Haruhi comment.

"You're just trying to make me look like the gay twin so no one knows that you're the gay twin," Hikaru snarled.

"Take that back."

"Why? Afraid of the truth?"

Kaoru scowled and clenched his teeth.

"Ah! Kaoru-kun got burned!" Some girls squealed.

"Did you hear how bad Hikaru-kun got burned earlier? It was even better than that!" Another giggled.

Yeah, this wasn't boredom anymore, it wasn't because of boredom anymore, this was war, and it was starting to turn into their first real fight. The first fight that went off of the script, and the fans were getting rather worked up over it, almost as worked up over it as they were. It was true, Kaoru was getting infuriated, and so was Hikaru, so now the boys were going to play dirty, surely enough to liven up the Host Club.

"Damn, you're a good liar, aren't you?" Kaoru chuckled. "You lie in everything you do, don't you? Love, life, work? School even too, you make me do more than half of your homework."

"Only because you offer."

"None-the-less, you let me. How much of our relationship is a lie?"

"All of it."

Hikaru may have been trying to joke around, but for a moment, he swore he saw the smallest spark, a glimmer, of depression. Surprise. Annoyance. It was pure terror as well. Did Kaoru really want to have a relationship with Hikaru that badly?

"Ah! That's so mean, Hikaru-kun!" A couple girls scolded. "You hurt Kaoru-kun's feelings."

"What feelings? He's a monster?"

Kaoru still sat, emotionless.

Monster, homosexual, all a lie, it made Kaoru want to cry. Pervert.

"Hikaru!" Haruhi snapped. "Stop it."

"What? No one wants to hear the truth? Sheesh, Kaoru, you're such a-"

"You're such a liar," Kaoru snapped. "And if none of that's a lie, then I don't want to be your brother anymore."

Before Hikaru could respond, Kaoru shot up and stormed off.

Realization shot across Hikaru's face as he understood that his words actually cut into Kaoru.

"Who needs him?" Hikaru shrugged it off.

Kaoru sat in an abandoned tool shed outside of the school, a shed Haruhi and Tamaki had hid in once.

"Stupid," Kaoru mumbled. "Who needs him anyway? He's just a jerk, we were supposed to stick to script, but he goes off course. What a dirty liar, what a dirty person. I hate him so much..."

Kaoru buried his head and started crying lightly.

"I hope Nekozawa's curse goes over him!" Kaoru sobbed.

"Kaoru-kun?" Some girls asked as they opened the door to the shed. Kaoru stopped crying and raised his head, a smile forcing itself upon his face and the tears stopped and he rubbed the remaining away, the pain in his chest tremendous. "Are you okay? Hikaru-kun's really worried, no matter what he says to us. He says he's not worried and that he doesn't care that you left, but you guys are always together. Is this a real fight or a pretend one?"

Kaoru averted them with a shifty gaze.

"We were bored, my princesses, don't worry about it," Kaoru assured. "It's alright."

"Will you come back in?" One asked, really nervously.

Kaoru smiled at her, gently.

"It's okay, I'll stay in here a little longer."

All the girls blushed, they'd never seen Kaoru smile like that and with such soft eyes unless he was with Hikaru. Even then, they were rare to see. They all nodded and dashed out and into the Music Room.

"What's wrong?" A customer asked him, the Hosts talking to eachother, but Hikaru was alone, and eavesdropping on the incoming girls.

"Kaoru-kun's gorgeous!" They squealed. "He has the cutest smile and the most adorable sad eyes!"

"I wish I could've seen!"

"Ahh, a once in a lifetime chance, missed!"

"Is he okay?"

Everyone stopped.

"He said he was," One nodded. "But I don't think so."

"Poor Kaoru-kun, crushed," Renge sobbed as she listened in the crowd of the fangirls. "No love for him."

"Poor Kaoru-kun!" They all sobbed.

Hikaru scowled.

"He doesn't deserve sympathy," Hikaru snarled. "He got what was coming."

Renge went off on a rant and then the fangirls started obsessing over "how adorable" Kaoru was.

Hikaru was sick of hearing it and he decided he better go find the crybaby. He walked towards the shed and was about to open it, saying Kaoru's name in a complaining tone, when he heard sobs.

"Idiot," Kaoru whispered. "He's so stupid, I don't need him anyway. I'll be here for awhile, because the idiot doesn't know when to say sorry. He's such a baka, it makes me so mad, I'm glad it's not a fake fight... it is a fake fight right?"

Kaoru curled up a little more.

"Right?"

"Kaoru!" Hikaru called as he slammed open the doors and Kaoru stared up at his brother, teary eyed.

"Hikaru!" Kaoru cried as he dashed to his brother and glomped him.

The fangirls and the other hosts watched as they dashed after Hikaru after he'd left, already planning on seeing Kaoru anyway.

"I'm sorry," Kaoru sobbed. "I do want you to my brother."

"I'm sorry, Kaoru. I'm sorry for lying, and I shouldn't have been telling those experiences to make you sound like a bad person, you're not a bad person, you're good," Hikaru sobbed with him. "I failed you as a big brother, I'm so sorry that I hurt you."

"I love you," Kaoru cried.

"I love you, too."

"You had us scared," Haruhi cut in. "You guys need to be more careful with your fake fights so they don't turn real."

"Real?" The two laughed as they turned their gazes to the group. "Who said anything about this being real?"

"Wha-? It isn't?" Everyone gasped.

Kaoru wrapped his arms around Hikaru's neck and leaned backwards, into a pose.

"I said we were bored," Kaoru cooed.

"So it's not real?" Tamaki snapped.

"We'll never tell," They both laughed.

The rest of the day, Tamaki scolded the twins and they walked Haruhi home.

Then they sat alone, together, in their bedroom.

"I'm sorry," Hikaru whispered. "I really am."

"It's okay," Kaoru replied softly and girly, placing his hand on Hikaru's and scooting closer to him, leaning on him and they both stared out their window at the setting sun. "Really, Hikaru, I'm not mad."

"You're sad."

"Nah."

"It's not okay, I'm sorry Kaoru, I shouldn't have been so reckless, I'm sorry I brought up the pants thing," Hikaru apologized.

Kaoru smiled and kissed Hikaru's cheek, then his lips.

"I meant what I said about loving the way you look when you get what you want," Kaoru purred.

"Do that thing with your tongue again, that foreigners do," Hikaru requested.

"The roll?"

"Yeah."

Kaoru smiled.

"Anything for you, because you know... I loovvve that face," Kaoru purred again, rolling his tongue a bit.

"How can I say I'm sorry?" Hikaru whispered.

"Do what I want," Kaoru laughed.

Kaoru kissed Hikaru's lips lightly again. It wasn't an "OMG! MOE!" action, it was more of a family action, they did it as brothers, not lovers.

"Fine, where do I start?"

"No, where do I start?"
