IsIselia's P.O.V
School went by in a daze for me; I was still so worried about the twins. Mainly because I'd seen them in the hall and neither of them looked at me. They just went straight to their class. I wondered if they would avoid me in the club too. "Iselia are you even listening to me?" I heard Zoey ask as we walked to too music room 3. "Huh? Sorry what was the question?" I asked looking at her. "Alright, you've been out of it all day. What's wrong?" she asked stopping to face me. "Nothing…I just…I'm worried about Hikaru, you should have seen his face…And kaoru looked just as…shocked…Sad. I don't know. I'm sorry." I said looking down. She looked me and shook her head. "Iselia I'm sure its fine, so, just stop worrying. Now come on we should get to the host club." She said and grabbed my hand.
When we got there everyone was already changed. They were wearing amazing winter jackets and suits. They looked like princes. "We will be taking things outside in the snow today. So you two will be making hot chocolate and coffee today." Kyoya said walking up to us. "Your clothes are in the changing rooms" kaoru said. "Thanks…" I said and turned to walk to the changing rooms.
Zoey's P.O.V
I watched as Iselia walked off to the changing rooms. She was still worried. I turned to go change too, but stopped and turned to Kaoru. "I need to talk to you." I said tapping him on the shoulder. He turned and looked at me. "Ok, sure." He said. "Why are you and your brother being so cold to Iselia, It's eating her alive. She's been worrying all day about you two." I said nodding my head to his brother who was looking out a window. "I'm sorry; we didn't mean to make her worry. It's just…she can tell us apart. And no one has ever been able to…we've always counted on each other, Lived in our own world. I was the one that wasn't Hikaru and Hikaru is the one that isn't kaoru, that's how it's always been. So…to have her tell us apart…it makes us happy…but also … it hurts. Hikaru will warm up again soon. But I'm sorry if it seems he's been mean." He said. I looked at him. "Ok…but if either of you hurt her again that way. I'll hurt you." I said, and walked off to the changing rooms.
IsIselia's P.O.V
I stood in front of the full length mirror admiring the long coat they'd picked for me. It came down to my knees, cream with a fur color and fur on the sleeves. The clothes were cream leggings with a black skirt and a blue shirt. The shirt was a silky fabric and felt wonderful. I wondered if it truly was silk. I'd have to ask them when I was done. I heard Zoey go into her changing room and wondered what they had picked for her.
I loved the fur it felt so warm. I rubbed my face on it, not paying any attention to my surroundings. "I'm glad you like the coat Ms. Ai." Kyoya said. I looked up at him. "Oh! I um…sorry! I do really like it. Thank you." I said blushing. "I can tell." He smiled. I blushed again and walked away. Hikaru was standing at the window still. Kaoru sitting of the window seal looking out as well. I wanted to ask about the shirt…but I wasn't sure if I should wait to speak with them, I looked up at them again and Kaoru looked at me. He waved his hand for me to come over to them. That's when Hikaru turned his head to see who it was. I looked away not wanting to meet his gaze.
"Yes…" I said when I reached them. "Iselia, Hikaru wants to say something." Kaoru said. "Ok. I said facing Hikaru, though the one who said 'Hikaru would like to say something to you' was Hikaru. I stayed looking at him. "What did you need to tell me?" I asked. He froze. Kaoru turned to look at me this time, the real kaoru. "That was it. He just wanted to see if yesterday was a lucky guess." Kaoru said. I nodded. I turned back to Hikaru who still looked stiff.
"I'm sorry if I'm not exposed to be able to tell you apart. I don't mean to upset you, I'm sorry." I said then walked off. I was walking down the halls to go outside with the rest of the host club when someone grabbed my hand. "It doesn't make me upset, I'm sorry if I hurt you." Hikaru said. I turned to face him. "I think we can be friends, but only if you want. I think you're a nice person under all of your pranks, and I'd like to get to know you more." I said with a smile. He didn't say anything for a while just stared into space.
"Do you like the coat?" he asked. I looked up at him. "Yeah it's beautiful." I said. "Good, you can keep it. My mom won't mind." He said. I looked down and the warm fur on the sleeves. "Thank you…Hikaru" I said. He smiled. "Come on, we'll be late. You have work to do." He said, as if nothing had happened. He grabbed my hand and pulled me running down the hall until we reached the yard. I looked around at everyone. Tamaki was throwing a snow ball at kaoru who was laughing as he dodged it. Honey and Mori were making snow angles and Kyoya was walking with a girl under snow covered trees. Haruhi was giving a blanket to one girl. Zoey was already out here serving coffee to Haruhi.
I worked serving hot chocolate, though I wasn't really aware of what I was doing. I couldn't stop thinking about him or my new coat; I wondered how much it cost. I wasn't quite sure what had happened the rest of that afternoon. But it wasn't too soon before me and Zoey were in her car and driving home. I was still wearing the clothes from the host club. I hadn't changed; I had put my clothes in a bag when we left. "Did they let you keep those or something?" Zoey asked. I didn't look at her, I just nodded. She went back to driving. We didn't talk the rest of the ride. When we got home I ate and did my homework. Mom hadn't been home yet and I had gone to sleep before she came home. I laid on the bed and stared at the coat that was hanging behind the door. I would wear it tomorrow. I would wear it every day. I hope we can be friends… I thought yawing. And then fell asleep.
~~~~Preview of the next chapter~~~
It was Saturday morning when I woke. There were laughs coming from the living room. It was mom…And a boy? Or…the host club? I stood up and ran out of my room. Tamaki and everyone were sitting around my table. "Oh she's awake finally!" Tamaki said. "Um…baby you should go change." My mom said. I looked down at what I was wearing and blushed. I was wearing my teddy bed pajama pants and a black tank top. I backed up slowly and ran to the bathroom to change. How embarrassing!... I thought as I walked into my room to change. I looked up and saw Hikaru was sitting on my bed with a bag. "I brought you something" he said with a smile.
