Author's Notes: Eurgh, here goes nothing! Hikaru, I choose you! If you like Black Butler you may have realised that I have stolen a few ideas! The vast majority of you by now have probably figured out who the boy client's relatives are, haven't you? And I apologise for constantly calling the twins ginger. Apparently it's auburn.
It was dark. All was quiet yet loud. The chatter from the corridor to the breathing and the existence of the others in the room, all of it was so loud. But the loudest of all was the older twin's thoughts.
His thoughts swirled and swirled, a tornado of ideas and possibilities. They would not be silenced by logic but only grew and intensified the more Kyoya read the letter. Hikaru fixed his cats ears, one of the things that was eating at his soul. Then he closed his eyes which seemed to bring him more colour and light than the host club room.
He hated this moment in time. Truly despised it. He hated the sobbing of Honey in the corner, the loose tears that escaped every now and then from Tamaki. He could not stand the pitying but anxious expression of Haruhi. And most of all, he hated the look on Kaoru's face.
Kaoru stole the look from Hikaru. He perfectly mimicked his facial expression and even his body language. The two ginger cats sat together, perfectly reflecting each other through an invisible mirror. They both sat with a straight back, beautifully posed, but neither of them wanted to stay that way a minute longer than necessary. They both held their candles delicately, knowing that only the candle light could betray them. The two gingers may have sat with completely bored faces but they both knew they were lying.
Hikaru knew that when they would get home they would collapse into their bedroom and isolate themselves once more, just for the night. He could confidently predict shouting and confusion on his part whilst his younger brother would cry delicately. Then they would both grow tired of their emotions and fall asleep together, content and comforted from knowing the other one was present.
Hikaru then cursed the male client. How dare he sneak his way in only to disturb the perfect peace?
Hikaru understood that they would soon forget him and his miserable existence but for now, it hurt. At least, Hikaru hoped that they would soon forget him…
Hikaru's hatred for this new guy was determined even before meeting him. When Kyoya announced the news about their newest guest, Hikaru warned that he would be nothing but a nuisance. No one but Kyoya listened. Nobody but Kyoya.
This was not helpful. Haruhi accused him of just being judgemental, which stung him greatly. Kyoya preferred Kaoru to Hikaru and so did not back up or talk to Hikaru about the matter. However Kyoya did rely on him for information.
"I can't find him on the system. I need something. I need a name, a date of birth, a proper nationality, anything but his gender!" Kyoya growled to Hikaru and Kaoru once, on the phone.
"We have nothing but class 1D, which should make it easier for you."
"It gives me a year for his date of birth, nothing more, nothing less."
Hikaru sighed and hung up. No matter how much Hikaru and Kaoru charmed or asked for gossip, no one had anything on him. All they had was a class number and the blatant obvious.
At first Kaoru was on Hikaru's side, or at least that was what Kaoru told him. Everytime Hikaru would complain or object, Kaoru mimicked him and followed. But when the male client started his appointments with the hosts, Kaoru began to soften. He looked at his shoes when Hikaru whined, he grew slightly distant when Hikaru brought up the subject. Everyone but Kyoya and Hikaru had softened on the idea of a boy being a client.
By the time Yaoi Day came, spring had blew itself away to give summer its turn. The sun seemed slightly cocky, warming up Japan more than necessary. The leaves were a vivid green now, the cherry trees began to give fruit, the rest of nature was happy. This bright atmosphere swept across Ouran and the sunlight invaded every section imaginable. Summer was the time when very few secrets could continue, when light triumphed over the dark. The days grew longer, night grew shorter and life seemed to be so joyful. Except the sweltering heat. As said in Rome and Juliet: "For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring".
In Music Room 3 the hosts were preparing for Yaoi Day. Hikaru remembered how Renge suggested it and got the King to overrule the Prince of Darkness. It was to be the second largest event in the host club's calendar, but the biggest event to hold appointments.
Since spring had ended the hosts stayed later to practise their performance. They all had assigned roles and a special scenario to act out. Thankfully they got to pick and make these scenarios and roles themselves. The only thing they could not pick was who they would work with.
No matter how much begging they all did, Haruhi got put with Kasanoda. This in turn led to Kyoya being partnered up with Tamaki, which made both boys screech.
"Actually, this is the most fun I've had so far," Kyoya admitted as he got his table set up with Tamaki.
"I know! Yaoi Day is so cool," Tamaki grinned, wrapping his arm around Kyoya,"I finally get to use a katatsu and get married!"
Tamaki came up with the idea of him and Kyoya being a same-sex married couple. He obviously drew this from him being 'Daddy' and Kyoya being 'Mommy'. This then meant the host club could have them both sit by a katatsu, drinking green tea and being cute towards each other. By which I mean Tamaki would be cute to his 'wife' whilst Kyoya nagged him about the chores he did not do or the money he spent.
"We even have matching kimonos." Kyoya despaired at this, wondering why he had to be the woman in this marriage.
"The girls will love it!" Renge squealed, "Especially when they see the others!"
Haruhi was partnered with Kasanoda who, ever since this war occurred between Kyoya and Renge, had been helping the host club as Renge's slave. Now that Kasanoda realised Haruhi was a girl, and got over the rejection, the two became good friends. So when they both had to make a plan they decided with a sweet but simple plan. They were to play as two high school boys (no cosplaying for Haruhi!) whom were best friends but both fancied each other. This meant there were to be lots of accidental touches and double-meanings and a hell of a lot of blushing.
"How are you two doing?" Renge asked, spinning around to find the two mysterious cousins.
Mori and Honey found it exceptionally hard to think of something for Yaoi Day. They could not do 'Forbidden Cousinly Love' due to it being too similar to the twins. All the other ideas the two could come up with had to be discarded due to Honey being too innocent or cute-looking to pull it off. So, a week before the day had arrived, Honey took inspiration from one of Renge's favourite manga. They chose the "young and short lord with a really tall butler" theme. So it was basically their normal routine with fancy cosplays and a lot more cake!
Hikaru sat down at his table with Kaoru. They had thought of a few ideas but their best material was often improvised. This themed day was practically their everyday. Although Hikaru secretly preferred the idea of spending today with Haruhi. And ditching this new guy.
"A gay boy for Yaoi Day?" Hikaru whispered to Kaoru as he glared at Kyoya.
"Perhaps it will make things easier?"
"We're turning into the Zuka club but for boys!"
Kaoru shrugged.
"It's only one appointment. It will be finished before you know it."
Hikaru nodded. Kaoru was right. He was also their second appointment for the day, meaning they could enjoy the rest of the day without him.
"Okay everyone, since this is a themed day I'm going to make a quick speech on behalf of the king!"
The twins smirked. How very tactile of Kyoya- to steal Tamaki's power away whilst flattering him.
"That's a good woman, Mommy!"
"There are probably going to be lots of bystanders as 'yaoi' is a popular theme and so we shall be impressing quite a lot of potential clients today. Renge will be on site taking photos and, to be candid, we're going to make a massive profit from this. However, I want you to all know that Daddy loves you all very much!"
'Daddy' grinned at Kyoya and roughly tackled him into a hug. Then Renge nodded, her fan remote at hand.
"Ready-?"
"Welcome!"
Hikaru and Kaoru hosted perfectly for their first appointment of guests. The three girls were swooning over the handsome twins, one of them even had to leave for fresh air.
"Promise you won't do any yaoi without me!"
"Princess, I can't promise you that, you know what Hikaru's like!"
Hikaru bit his lip. Improvising really did give them the best lines. So whist the girl was away, Kaoru made them all some tea.
"Is that new boy coming today?" One of the girls giggled.
"…Yeah."
"Oh! How wonderful! We'll have to stay and wait for his appointment!" The other girl giggled.
"Who does he have?"
"Us." The twin said in unison. The two girls blushed heavily.
"Double yaoi!"
"Quick, someone tell the queen and tell her to record it!"
Hikaru stared at Kaoru, raising his eyebrows. Kaoru lowered his head and pointed to Renge. The third girl came back soon enough and squealed when they heard about the twins' next appointment.
Hikaru was quite annoyed. He could not escape from this boy, even in his earlier appointments. So when he was not too busy fussing over his brother, his eyes were fixed on the clock. The seconds hand seemed to be enjoying Hikaru's pain, relishing it and savouring the pain in his heart. The minute hand was even worse, tenderly mocking Hikaru with its slow movement.
When the time did come, it was very disordered. Hikaru saw the girls sit in the chairs that Kyoya had set up for non-participants, watching closely. He also saw Renge fiddling with a camera. Then Renge paced quickly to the twins.
"I'm not taking pictures of you and the male client. I will leave that for when he has Tamaki. But later on I will be taking pictures of you and the female guests."
The brothers nodded, grateful that Renge was being such a decent person. Renge nodded back and then went to Tamaki's and Kyoya's table.
The male client arrived a minute after Renge had left. Instantly Hikaru could tell that this appointment was going to be slower than the one before. Shy, permanently blushing and bowing over and over again to apologise for his tardiness, he was everything that Hikaru hated put into one being. But before Hikaru could judge him any further, he and Kaoru got up and improvised.
"No need to say sorry…" The twins stated, circling around their temporary client. Then Kaoru led the boy to his chair, even pushing it out for him. Kaoru then stood to his left. Hikaru stood to his right. The two twins kissed his cheeks in unison.
"Happy Yaoi Day!"
The lower classed student blushed even more and covered his lips with his hands. He looked from twin to twin.
"I'm Hikaru!"
"And I'm Kaoru!"
The male looked up and nodded eagerly which made his glasses jump off his nose but land back on his nose again.
Hikaru soon realised that hosting for this weird boy was just like hosting a girl. A girl who did not squeal or get nose bleeds. So the older twin decided to use his imagination. He painted over the new guy's bleak existence and turned him (in Hikaru's mind) into a girl. That was much better. Now their temporary client was a shy, pitiful girl who refused to squeal. Much better.
Now that he had a 'girl' guest, Hikaru did what he did best- prompting Kaoru into doing the hard work.
"You have such round, rosy cheeks…" Hikaru whispered close to the client's ear but loud enough for the spectators to hear. The spectators squealed loudly and then held their breath. Hikaru then reached out to stroke the guest's cheek when Kaoru slapped his hand away. Exactly how Hikaru wanted it.
"Kaoru! How dare you slap me! In front of such a lovely guest as well!"
Kaoru then lifted his hand to his forehead to look ashamed when really he was sneaking in some fake tears via his sleeve.
"I couldn't help myself Hikaru! To see you fussing over him like that…" Kaoru exclaimed, looking down towards his feet. Hikaru walked over to him and held him in his arms, lifting his chin up.
"Dear Kaoru, I can always fuss over you when we get home…"
There was the signature line that crowned the display off. The girls squealed, a few them glaring at Renge for not recording the event. Even the hosts' guests looked over when they saw the male client running away.
"Where's he going?" Hikaru whispered to Kaoru out of the girls' hearing range. This led them to use their imaginations and squeal over nothing.
"He's got a nose bleed!" Kaoru hissed. Hikaru rolled his eyes.
The twins sat down and made tea whilst they waited for their guest to come back. They plotted their next move. Hikaru looked up at the clock. The longer the boy was away the less time Hikaru had to spend with him, which was a good thing. This amount of squealing and nose-bleeds was beginning to grate his very core.
"So s-s-sorry!"
Their temporary guest sat down with his green translation book resting on his lap. He constantly glanced at them both anxiously. It was obvious he had nothing to say that held meaning as he gripped on to a handkerchief.
"Would you like a cookie?"
"Nyet, danke."
The two stared at each other, their facial features widened. It was like the two twins had found an alien.
"What?"
"I m-mean, no thank you!"
Inwardly Hikaru schemed. His last hopes were on feeding him and his twin pieces of that cookie!
"So then, rosy-posy, are you a uke or a seme?"
Hikaru had to bite his lip to stop himself from laughing at his brother's forwardness. They had already broke the 'no kissing" host rule and now they were destroying the "no personal or rude questions" rules too.
In the corner of his eyes he could see the girls sit forward eagerly.
"What's do them w-words mean?"
"Do you even know what 'yaoi' means?"
The guest shook his fluffy head. Hikaru took a quick look at the clock. Nowhere near finished. The seconds hand was still torturing him.
"Boy love? Gay? Boys cuddling boys?" Kaoru asked desperately. Thankfully the boy understood.
"Okay, so if I had to give an example I'd say that I was the seme," Hikaru explained before winking at his guest. Knowing his cue, Kaoru sat on Hikaru's lap.
"Then I'd be a uke!" Kaoru winked, hugging his brother's neck. The boy dabbed at his nose just in case.
"So which one are you?" The twins asked in perfect unison.
The male opened his mouth to answer when Hikaru could see whizz of colour in the corner of his eye. This 'whizz' soon reached the full pupil of his eye…
"I th-think I'm a…"
The colour was yellow. For Hikaru it seemed to have happened too quickly, like seeing a film whilst fast-forwarding.
A girl had rushed from the next table and had shoved their guest's chair forwards abruptly. This sudden force, partnered with a lack of chair direction, made the chair tip the guest forward. Before the boy could stop himself, he had landed on the floor with an embarrassingly loud thud. His head landed on to the table, making a more terrifying sound. He yelped loudly.
However before the spectators could even look up from the boy's catastrophe, the hosts were on it. Tamaki and Kyoya grabbed the fleeting culprit and dragged her behind the curtain to soften the blow to the guests. The twins were going to aid the male guest but, when they looked over, Honey's butler was already on it. The twins simply watched in awe as Mori picked the boy up as if he was made out of pure air, earning him squeals from the girls and a gasp from the boy. Then the quiet host walked past the ogling girls. The twins were going to follow until another sudden outburst happened, for the doors to another certain room flung open dramatically showing the real royalty of Music Room 3. A dark aura swept through the hosts' room as Nekozawa stormed in.
"Where is he?!" Nekozawa shouted, his Beelzenef flipping its little limbs wildly.
"Nekozawa—"
"Where's my little cousin? What did you do to him?!"
"Neko! Neko!" The male cried out, waving his arms.
"My little mouse!"
Umehito's cousin lay in Mori's arms, his arms weakly outstretched to him. Nekozawa padded over in his slippers to Mori. Then he nodded gratefully at Mori and then left with the European boy to the forbidden door that led to the Black Magic Club room.
The guests looked in awe to the door. Then they turned to each other.
Hikaru saw Kyoya grinning from behind the curtain, certain that Tamaki would have to ban the boy from the club room. But much to the dismay of Hikaru and Kyoya, the guests adored it.
"So much yaoi!" They gasped, "So dramatic and eventful!"
"Bravo!"
"How beautifully scripted!"
Hikaru stared at Kaoru. Kaoru stared at Hikaru. Where could Hikaru start?
"Sorry ladies, we're going to have a quick emergency meeting! Then we'll be right back!" Renge exclaimed like a TV presenter. The females nodded and sipped their tea, chatting about the amazing 'show' the hosts had put on just for them.
The hosts, Renge, Kasanoda and Anna disappeared into the curtain. You see, the area that contained the fridge, the litter-disposer and the other 'ugly' (as Tamaki put) utensils were curtained off so that the 'magic' (Tamaki again) would be preserved. This area also held the closet for outfits and a list of phone numbers and directions in the emergency that Kyoya could not attend school.
"Anna what are you doing here?" Hikaru hissed as he entered the curtained off section. Then he saw the whole picture.
Honey was sobbing into Mori's hair (he had climbed onto Mori's shoulders at this point) whilst Mori stared at the culprit. Haruhi said nothing but had her mouth ajar, still a bit shocked from the whole affair. Kasanoda looked around sheepishly whilst the king gestured to the twins.
"Hold her whilst I scold her."
The twins grabbed hold of her, taking hold of an arm each. Hikaru forced his thoughts to keep silent so he could concentrate better.
"Why, Anya, why?" The masculine female questioned, her wide lips wobbling.
"Because I hate him! I despise him!" shouted Anya before weeping. She bent her head so her hair could cover her face and perhaps to retain some of her dignity.
"Anya, you must understand that we cannot allow you back here for quite a while," Tamaki spoke softly but firmly, "We cannot tolerance violence to other guests. That boy could have easily landed on one of our twins too!"
"I understand, sir. I'm sorry for causing you such grief. But I won't apologise to him."
"Come on Anya, let's go." The gentle giant led her disgraced friend away whilst the hosts and co. remained. Once they had left Tamaki turned to Mori.
"Mori, are you hurt?"
Mori shook his head.
"Twins?"
"No."
"We'll talk about this incident later when we're tidying up. For now, go and continue the event!" Kyoya hissed.
So, slightly dazed, the hosts begrudgingly carried on with their hosting.
Hikaru decided that he really did prefer hosting for his usual girl guests. They were easier to talk to, prank with and tease. So much easier. Their squealing and blushing helped remind Hikaru what he and Kaoru did best when it came to hosting. The girls were also a lot more grateful, Hikaru felt, and easier to fuss over.
The summer sun did not look at his clock. He never did. He decided to shine brilliantly and keep the sky its usual hue of blue despite the time. The rich students of Ouran were now leaving, planning on what to do with this brilliant weather before July could come to ruin it. The hosts were now beginning to feel the temperature though as they had cleared up today's set up of chair and tables. They left out nine chairs for them all and Kyoya grabbed his pink notebook. Once Hikaru saw the notebook he realised that it was not the usual host club meeting.
"Let the Emergency Host Club meeting commence!" The king shouted dramatically, pointing at his subjects.
"It explains the small nose, he obviously gets that from Nekozawa." Honey said to no one in particular.
"If only I could check his records…" Kyoya mumbled.
"Okay, I'll start off the discussion properly!" Hikaru shouted, discarding his blazer aggressively, in hope for the heat to spare him. They all observed him intently. "We need to ban that boy from the host club!"
"NOT PUKI-CHAN!" Honey screamed.
"That's his name?" Kyoya asked as his head jerked around eagerly to Honey.
"No. Nickname." Mori explained bluntly.
"Isn't that a bit dramatic? We've already got rid of Anya." Haruhi commented. A weird angry sensation spread over Hikaru as a peculiar pain navigated its way to his chest.
"Think about it! Anya's not a violent psychopath, she's a normal girl. He's got to be awful or something to push her that far."
"So Nekozawa was the one underneath the trees… The larger hand was Beelzenef." Honey once more added to his own private conversation.
"Look! He's even screwed up Honey! And I've never seen Mori so chatty!"
"Hikaru has a point. What if another girl attacks him? What if leads to Haruhi being hurt?" Kyoya sided with Hikaru, tactfully making it more personal to their constitutional monarchy. But that weird pain ripped into his chest again.
"Exactly!"
"Haruhi got attacked during her early days, remember? Even had her wallet thrown into the fountain! But we didn't get rid of her," Tamaki wagged his finger at Hikaru and Kyoya. "So we'll have to wait and see if he gets attacked in the host club again."
Hikaru's hands turned white with the effort he had put into curling his hands into fists. Why did Tamaki not understand what a threat he was? Not only physically to the hosts but also to their reputation?
"Hosting for a boy is simply ridiculous!"
"Hikaru! We promised to make every one of our guests happy, even if they're male! Now please calm your little outbursts!" Tamaki shouted back. If this club goes down due to him, it shall be Tamaki's fault, not mine- Hikaru decided. So Hikaru chose the next thing he wanted to talk about.
"Kyoya, if he picks us for his hosts, please don't give him to us." The twin said quietly through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry, he won't pick you. He looked so uncomfortable today I thought his cheeks were going to explode." Honey stated, curling his lips into his angry pout. He clutched his Usa-chan with a fierce grip and then glared at the twins.
"So? We don't want him." Hikaru said coolly.
"Look, he's already caused enough trouble. He gets blood everywhere, leaves his stuff behind, gets attacked and now we're arguing over him!" Kyoya exclaimed at Tamaki.
"True but his hands are tied." Renge smirked in the corner.
"What do you mean, Renge?" Haruhi questioned.
"He has the Nekozawas as his cousins. And if it's on his father side, he will even have their name. So if we do anything to him, anything, then the Black Magic Club can curse us just like how Nekozawa cursed Tamaki that day and when he cursed that tree!"
Everyone could clearly see that Tamaki was anxious and terrified of the consequences.
"His magic—"
"Leave it Haruhi." Kyoya advised, waving it off with his hand.
Hikaru thought he could finally see their club clearly. Whoever had power over their king won the battle for power. Renge had exploited his weakness and now pulled the strings. This explained the rivalry between her and Kyoya clearly for Hikaru.
"Besides, he's led to a lot of extra business!" Renge brightly, grinning. Hikaru sighed at how hopeless their monarchy was.
The hosts left the meeting with that last remark. Haruhi had slipped away already with the washing. Honey and Mori were now going to kendo club. Then Tamaki ran out quickly before 'the evil' could get him. Renge was going to Anime Club whilst Kyoya was going to look over the accounts. Kasanoda, not too sure on why he had to attend the meeting, went home with Haruhi. So the twins walked down the cherry path and looked at the big cherry tree as they passed it.
"Why is it so big? And why does it never give fruit?" Hikaru whispered to Kaoru. Kaoru laughed.
"You've not heard Tamaki say it a thousand times?"
"I don't really pay attention to him."
"Nekozawa was practising curses and so cursed the tree."
Hikaru rolled his eyes and sat in his family's limo with Kaoru. He watched the trees blur into one as their chauffer drove them. He sat pondering on how he could help the king see sense. Male clients never went down well and this one was no exception. His army of thoughts were shattered and separated by his brother tapping his arm.
"Why did you not ask me about how I felt? Why did you decide that we didn't want him?"
"Kaoru! He's dangerous!"
"Why did you not ask me how I felt? I do exist you know! I'm not completely like you!"
"Why, Kaoru? Do you like him?"
"I liked hosting for him! It was different!"
"It was boring and tedious."
"It was interesting."
The two did not talk for the rest of their journey and evening but gave in when they sat on their bed.
"Anya has a crush on you, y'know?" Hikaru said just before he turned off their lamp.
"How can she like me when she can't tell us apart?"
Hikaru nodded in the dark. That was a good point. And it was a point that bothered him for quite a while after.
After that, Hikaru tried his best to try for more information to help Kyoya's investigation. Anything, even just gossip. He cringed every time one of the guests mentioned him. Every time he saw that Russian German thing, he could not help but bite his lip. This resentment only grew when he heard that his enemy had been moved up to class 1B.
So hearing this letter made him relieved. It was like a glass wall between him and Kaoru had been smashed. And Hikaru knew he will be there for when Kaoru wants to have a cry about it later.
In fact, Hikaru was determined to make it up to his younger brother. He decided that they'll use the cookie trick on a few of the girls this evening. Hikaru would be the best cat ever, just for Kaoru. This made Hikaru eager and excited, even though his face remained bored. Yes, the older twin will spoil his brother rotten just for tonight. Then tomorrow he can go back to spoiling himself. But Hikaru vowed something. If he ever found that boy again, Hikaru was going to make him pay. He had nearly destroyed their club, made him argue with Kaoru and often caused more trouble than what he was worth. Even now in the dark, he made Honey and Tamaki weep. Hikaru guessed Haruhi would feel a bit sad, even just minutely. That boy had disrupted their preparations. That male's existence and sudden disappearance hurt Kaoru, Hikaru could tell that with great ease.
And if there was one thing he would not forgive, it was someone hurting his brother. Someone other than himself, of course.
Nobody can be loved by everyone. Nobody can be hated by everyone.
A/N I'm sorry. I absolutely adore the twins and their shenanigans but I can't write for them properly. Next chapter is Kaoru.
Ahem, because you bothered to read until the end, I have decided to make a small, tiny taste on what Yaoi Day was like. Obviously you'll need to use your imagination to understand how embarrassed Kyoya and Haruhi are feeling! And how embarrassed I am just trying to write it!
Hello, hello, hello! And welcome to the Host Club's Yaoi Day! Today is to be the second biggest event on their calendar, excluding the festivals. And you get a special snippet of what is happening!
Over in the right, lower corner is the Suoh Family. Mr and Mr Suoh are inviting guests to have a Japanese tea party with them by their katatsu.
"More green tea, milady?" Tamaki Suoh asks to a guest, dressed in a traditional kimono.
"Ohh, Tamaki…" Kyoya bites his lip, his hands pressed together, dressed in a matching kimono.
"What's wrong, my pretty trophy wife?"
Kyoya blushes and looks down at their katatsu.
"I wish you would not flirt with the pretty ladies so. It makes me jealous."
Tamaki wraps his arm around Kyoya's waist.
"But you're my wife. You're the one I adore."
"Ohh Tamaki…"
After a few minutes of the two making tea for their guests, Kyoya frowns at the paperwork he has done.
"Husband, darling, I can't be a great house wife if you keep spending all the money. And when are you going to fix my stool? I can't make you cookies when you get home if you don't fix my stool!"
"I'm sorry, my dear wife."
Aww! Aren't they cute together?
Anyway, now we move to the middle of the room where the twins are. Today must be just like another day for them.
"Hikaru…" Kaoru asks after another round of the "Which One Is Hikaru?" game.
"Yeah, Kaoru?" Hikaru responds bluntly with half a cookie in his mouth.
"I love you." Kaoru blushes deeply and hides his cheeks with his hands.
"I love you too, messy." Hikaru says, licking a bit of chocolate Kaoru had on the corner of his lip.
Whilst this is happening, Haruhi and his best friend are enjoying the event too.
"Hey!"
"Hi!"
"I'm Haruhi and this is my best friend Ritsu Kasanoda!"
"I'm Ritsu and this is my best friend Haruhi Fujioka!"
The two best friends laugh in unison and elbow each other.
"We're close, aren't we, good old Ritsu?"
"Yeah, Haruhi! We're like two peas in a pod!"
"Like an old married couple."
After a few minutes of silence, blushing and Haruhi trying to tear a loose piece of skin off his lip, the two continue.
"Yeah, Ritsu and I are like brothers!"
"Yeah! Like the Hitachiin twins!"
The two lose their grin when they look over to see Hikaru licking Kaoru's cheek. Ritsu dabs away at his nosebleed whilst Haruhi tries to hide his face in shame.
Will those two ever tell each other their feelings?
Finally we travel to Honey and Mori's table. Only the best silver cutlery and the laciest of table cloths shall do for Earl Honey.
"Takashi, where is my cake?"
"My lord, your teeth will fall out with all this cake."
"I'm the Earl of Cakemhive and I want cake!"
Earl Honey's loyal and freakishly tall butler Mori zooms across the room and fetches the cake on a silver platter.
"This is Demon Cake, especially baked by Puki-chan's mother."
Earl Honey nods cutely and tries to cut the cake with his spoon. But the icing has set well so poor Honey cannot get to it.
"Here, master."
Butler Takashi sits Earl Honey on his lap, cuts the cake for him and spoon feeds him. Earl Honey sure is spoiled.
