Chapter 4 – Game Shops and Restaurants

"You are awesome!" Kaoru said happily when Kyouya slowly unlocked the door to the shop. Kyouya didn't answer; he just opened the door and quickly turned the alarm off.

The youngest twin stepped inside with excited steps, rubbing his hands together when he stepped into the warmth of the shop that had just closed. He had been awaiting the sequel of his game for so long now, and after a painful amount of waiting, he would be the first to play it.

"The game is in the back of the store," Kyouya explained and disappeared into a room in the back.

"Okay," Kaoru answered absentminded and started looking around the store.

He loved this place – it was unlimited time of entertainment all over.

He made a little jump in surprise when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He quickly pulled it up from his pocket.

"Yeah, hallo!" Kaoru answered when he put the phone by his ear.

"You didn't pick up your phone," an impatient voice said. Kaoru didn't even have to guess who it was.

"Yeah sorry, Hikaru, what do you want?" Kaoru asked and grabbed a game and started looking at the back while he listened.

"Nothing really, I was just wondering what you were doing."

"I'm at the game store with Kyouya," he answered and put the game back to look at a new one.

"What? Isn't it closed at this hour? Tamaki starts working about now."

"He did it just for me, I'm getting a game I have been wanting," Kaoru said cheerfully.

"Really? Can I come over and play it?"

"Yeah, Hikaru, that-" Kaoru began, but suddenly the phone was snatched out of his hand. He looked up with a surprised expression, looking into a pair of serious dark eyes. "Kyouya?"

Kyouya pressed the "end" button and declined his call with even moving a muscle in his face.

"You're not free right now," he said simply and handed him his phone back. Kaoru took it with furrowed eyebrows. The taller teen sighed at his expression and handed him the game with quick movement. "Here, it's on the house."

"Thank you, but-"

"Kaoru, just come with me," Kyouya said simply and grabbed his hand.

"Eh?" Kaoru exclaimed stunned, but let himself get dragged along regardless. He could feel his phone vibrate in his hand and looked at it quickly. "Um, Kyouya, could I-"

"Let it be!" he commanded and with a sigh Kaoru did so. It was rude to talk in the phone when you were with someone else anyway, and Kyouya had just given him the best game EVER! And for free! So he kind of owed him.

"Where are we going?" he just whispered.

A few minuets later Kaoru was dumbstruck.

"Um, why are we going to a fancy restaurant?" he asked and looked over at the dark haired man with panicking. "I'm not dressed for this." He made wild hand movements toward the huge building, which was lighting up the street with a flashy, yet elegant, sign that said "Ouran Restaurant".

Then he made exaggerating hand movements toward himself: baggy sweatshirt, old jeans and messy hair. "See my problem?"

"You look fine," he said, rolling his eyes. Kaoru was about to protest further, but suddenly Kyouya grabbed his shoulder and forced him toward the door.

Hikaru kicked a rock absentminded. He couldn't believe Kaoru had ditched him like that, just hanging up the phone. Who did he think he was? Without even realizing it, Hikaru pouted and pressed his hands deeper into his pockets.

"See my problem?" he heard a familiar voice squeal… very familiar.

With a quick jump Hikaru took a step forward, peeking around the corner of the road he was walking. Sure enough, there was the idiot. With Kyouya?

"You look fine," Kyouya said, clearly getting tired and put both hands on his brother's shoulders to push him forward. Something inside Hikaru made a jump, making his stomach tingle weirdly. Why was Kyouya taking his brother to a nice restaurant? Were they… d… dat… datein- NO!

Why was he even thinking about that? No way, they were secretly… just no. But what if-

"No!" he thought out loud and hurried to slap a hand over his mouth.

Kaoru turned his head in surprise. "Hikaru?" he spat, but the oldest twin had already flung himself behind the protecting wall. Pressing his back again it with closed eyes.

"What is it?" he heard Kyouya ask.

"Oh, nothing," Kaoru answered, and Hikaru guessed they had gone inside.

The oldest twin mentally cursed himself, before very slowly peeking back around the wall. Sure enough, they had gone inside. Together… alone… gosh! What was he thinking, they were just friends. Friends could hang out. Friends could go to a fancy restaurant.

Yeah, he was definitely not going to spy on them or anything. That would just be absurd. But… now that he thought about it, he was pretty hungry.

And this restaurant was pretty near, and he had money with him and everything. It would be absolutely stupid not to just eat here, when he was right here anyway. Right? Yeah, that's right, he was just going to eat – and if he got a table near Kaoru and Kyouya it would be absolutely ...accidental.

That's when he saw a shop that sold hats.

"So," Kaoru said, uncomfortably. "This is a pretty nice place."

"It's nothing," Kyouya said with a quick smile. "Just felt like eating out today, and thought it would be nice to take you along."

'But I really just want to get home and play my new game,' Kaoru thought sadly, but still smiled politely and ran a finger across the napkin – even the napkin was silk. Gezz…

He looked around. Everyone here looked so nice in their suits and dresses, he was completely underdressed, but Kyouya didn't seem to mind at all – and that bastard had even had a suit under his jacket. Typical.

People here looked well… except one. Huh? He was wearing a huge coat, hat and glasses. In a restaurant? And his figure looked strangely familiar.

"Hallo, may I take your order?" a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts. He blinked twice and looked into the face of a smiling waiter.

"Um, I-" Kaoru began, he really hadn't had a chance to look at the menu yet, but luckily Kyouya came to his rescue.

"Two number 23, and a water."

"Water for me too," Kaoru hurried to add. The waiter nodded and walked off. When he was gone Kyouya leaned back in his seat, his hands folded and looked at Kaoru with measuring eyes through his glasses.

"What's on your mind?" he asked, it was more like a demand than a question.

"N-nothing, really," Kaoru murmured. He made a quick glance toward the man with the hat and sunglasses, making a small jump in shock when he realized the man were staring right at him through his glasses. When he realized Kaoru was looking too he hurried to look away again.

"What is it?" Kyouya questioned, trying to follow Kaoru eyes, but couldn't find what had caught them.

"No, sorry, I'm just… spacing out," he explained, making a happy sigh when his water arrived. He hurried to bring it to his lips, making Kyouya furrow his brows.

"You seem strange tonight."

'That's what happens when a creepy guy is staring right at you.' But of course he didn't say that.

"Kaoru?"
"mmm?" he mumbled into his glass, still letting the edge rest on his lower lip.

"You know I like you, right?" Kyouya whispered, immediately making Kaoru focus back on his face. Suddenly his eyes had become alert and he slowly put the glass back down on the table.

"Yes."

Yes? ! What did he mean, "yes"?. ! ! !

Hikaru was too paralyzed to even turn his head around to see Kaoru's expression, but he better not be smiling. Who did he think he was? Was he cheating on Hikaru? Well, technically they were divorced, but still! It was kind of cheating!

Kyouya continued and Hikaru hurried to get himself together and concentrate.

"So, you know that I would love to be with you," he said, making Hikaru clench his hands together, so they almost turned completely white.

"I understand that," Kaoru murmured, his words were so low that you couldn't tell what emotions were hid behind them unless you saw his face.

"Kaoru, I would do this every day to be with you," Kyouya continued. "I would bring you all the games you wanted, take you to all kinds of new places, I would do anything for you. This is hard for me to say, but I have been holding it inside for so long, keeping a straight face. I really want you to understand my feelings."

"I really truly understand – and appreciate – your feelings," Kaoru whispered. Hikaru felt something inside him drop. "But I can't return your feelings." Hikaru lifted his head with new energy. What was that?

He heard Kaoru's chair scratch against the floor and almost couldn't contain a smile. Kaoru was running away from Kyouya, maybe to find him. Maybe he was really in love with Hikaru after all.

"I won't let you go!" a sudden yell suddenly echoed through the room. Hikaru's head whipped around, like the whole rest of the room.

It had not been Kaoru's chair that had scratched against the floor; it had been Kyouya's.

Hikaru gaped stunned by the scene. Kyouya had walked over in two long steps and held Kaoru roughly by the shoulder, yanking him up from his chair, making it fall loudly down behind him.

"K-Kyouya!" Kaoru protested.

Hikaru stood stunned for a second, but then he pulled himself together. His golden orbs hardened and he marched toward the pair immediately, reaching out his hand to make Kyouya back off, when…

They kissed.

Cliffy. ^^ Hehe. It's been too long, but as I said: my (stupid) health. Anyways!
