Disclaimer- I lay no claim to any of the Ouran Host Club characters. Bisco Hatori owns them all!
Note: If a quote is like this 'Yes?', that means the character is speaking in English. It should be obvious by now that, because they're in Japan, they're not speaking English.
And then, just like that, all of Hikaru's weight was on Moriko, knocking her back into the wall. It was hard to stay standing when you were holding up nothing but the dead weight of someone who had just passed out.
"Gross!" Moriko yelped. "You were drunk! Or something…"
She struggled to get him over to the bed, but finally managed. She let go off him and allowed him to fall straight on it, bending down to get his feet up. She turned to leave the room for a second time, hoping to make it out without any interruptions. That was, however, too much for the small girl to ask. Yet again she found her arm being grabbed onto.
"Let go!" She hissed.
"Don't go…" Hikaru mumbled.
He sounded so weak and pathetic. Moriko felt bad for wanting to leave him in a room alone. She got her arm back and turned to face him. He looked so weak and pathetic. She sighed and sat down b the side of the bed, throwing her arms in front of her. She set her chin on them and stared at Hikaru, who stared dazedly right back.
"You're so hopeless." Moriko frowned. "Go to sleep."
"Moriko-chaaan!" Mizuki called. "Wake up."
Moriko lifted her head to look at her sister. She was a little confused at first, but she quickly realized that she'd fallen asleep. She moaned as she leaned back and stretched her arms above her head. She was extremely stiff from sleeping while sitting up.
"Headache…" Hikaru groaned from next to her. "Please don't speak so loudly."
Moriko looked at him and frowned. It seemed that she'd almost completely forgotten about him. And, then she remembered what happened before he passed out. Her face turned pink and she looked back at Mizuki for a second.
'Mizuki, where's Kao-kun?' She asked, not even realizing she was speaking English. 'Did he go home?'
"Moriko, you're speaking in English again." Mizuki replied. "And he slept on my bed. I took yours."
"Mnn…" Moriko replied. "Sorry. So, they both stayed the night?"
Mizuki nodded and went on to explain that Kaoru had called her and told his parents that he and his brother were staying the night at a friend's house. She also made a point to note the fact that Kaoru actually went home to get clothes and stuff for the following day. Moriko nodded and pushed herself into a standing position.
"What happened yesterday?" Hikaru asked suddenly. "I don't really remember anything."
Moriko turned pink again. She wouldn't let him know about that kiss. He was drunk, or whatever, so he didn't even realize what he'd done. It would be stupid to make mention of such a scene that wouldn't have even taken place to begin with had it not been for the fact that Hikaru was stupid enough to drink after a group of college students. She gave a frustrated sigh and stretched again.
"You felt ill and I brought you to my apartment." She lied. "You were so dizzy that you were saying weird things and then you passed out."
"Is that so?" The light-haired boy asked, looking up at Moriko.
She nodded and shrugged. It was a confusing gesture if you were just waking up, and had a hang-over. He was good looking, this much the blue-eyed girl knew, but she knew that her sister liked Kaoru. She wanted Mizuki to be happy more than anyone and she wouldn't be able to be with Hikaru if her beloved sister was dating his twin. Plus, there was no telling if Hikaru even liked her back.
"I'm gonna leave you two alone for a sec." Mizuki smiled, excusing herself from the room.
Moriko opened her mouth to object, but the door was already closed. If she knew her sister well, that politeness was an act that she was putting on to give her older sister a chance. The two of them were really so much a like, even with all the differences they had.
"Mi-zu-ki…" Moriko growled. "Hey! Don't you do this to me!"
There was only a giggle from the other side of the door. Mizuki knew that she'd be torn apart the moment she opened it, so she decided it'd be better to hold it shut. Of course, she had help from Kaoru, who wanted his brother to be happy as well. Moriko sighed and sat down on the bed. This wasn't fun.
"What's going on?" Hikaru asked.
"My lovely sister has basically locked us in a room together until something happens." Moriko frowned. "A confession. A kiss. Anything will do, but she's being so stupid about it."
Hikaru stared blankly at her for a moment. That violent tempered girl he knew was beet red as she spoke. She certainly was extremely flustered by the whole situation and she most certainly not going to let anything happen. Because she had to make sure Mizuki was happy before herself. She sighed heavily and ran her hand through her hair.
"Do you…" Hikaru paused. "Do you not like me or something?"
Moriko didn't answer immediately. The answer she wanted to give was 'yes', but she would deny her own feelings for the sake of her only sister. It was as simple as that. And, so, she took a deep breath before letting it out slowly.
"Not… like that." She said quietly.
"I see." Hikaru said slowly. "I understand…"
Moriko bit her lip and looked down as tears welled up in her eyes. She'd lied for the sake of the happiness of someone important to her and that was a very nice thing to do. Hikaru slowly stood and made his way over to the door where he knocked and asked to be let out. The door opened and he turned to look at Moriko.
"Good-bye, then." He said with a wave.
"Yeah…" Moriko answered.
A/N: Another awkward ending for you guys. This is the end of the fanfic. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did when I wrote it.
