A shout-out to hershey889! I'm sorry I forgot you were on fanfiction! Thank you for helping me for some of Honey's dialouge in the last chapter! And I'm being forced to say to go check out her Soul Eater fic(s)! She's an awesome person with a terrible memory!
'Hikaru you idiot.' I think as I storm through the halls. 'I can't believe I let you pretend to be me just so you wouldn't get in trouble with the teacher. AGAIN.' Hikaru's seriously annoying me. He's been having trouble sleeping because of some nightmares he refuses tot ell me about. As a consequence he's been falling asleep in class and now I have to pay for his mistakes. What a great brother he is.
"Hikaru?" I stop to see one of the girls who come to visit the Host Club. Her name escapes me since she's not really a regular.
"Yes?" She looks really nervously and blushes. I feel bad that I'm having to keep this act but I don't think Hikaru wants to talk to any girls outside of the Host Club right now.
"Um..I was wondering if I could ask you something..." She trails off and starts blushing. I want to groan. This is probably another confession. But at least I'll be able to let her down gently, unlike a certain hotheaded, irresponsible, childish-
"Sure but make it quick." It's almost time for Host Club to start and I don't want to to be late. Tamaki would throw a fit since he came up with a new cosplay today.
"I've liked you for a really long time so...Wouldyougooutwithme?" In a loud voice she almost yells at me.
"I'm sorry but I'm afriad the answer's no." She looks down at her shoes while I walk past her.
"I see. Could it be you already like someone?" I stop and turn to face her. Her sad eyes bore into mine and it's like she's looking into my soul. I might regret this, being late and all, but right now I'll spare time to be honest.
"Yeah I do." She tenses then relaxes once she sees the small smile. I'm growig a habit of smiling at the thought of Haruhi.
"Well I hope you're happy with him then." Wait him?
"I'm sorry I might've heard that wrong but who's him?" I wait nervously while the girl frowns.
"Kaoru, of course." What a relief I thought she was being serious. I guess she's just another fangirl.
"You must be mistaken because that's my brother-"
"No I think you're mistaken." She cuts me off and I frown. "If only you saw the way you look at him." She began walking away, opposite of where I was headed. I was kind of-well mad. She just called my own brother gay and stupidly believes in our act.
"You know-" She stopped but didn't face me. "I feels sorry for you. That you believe I really am in love with my twin brother. It's disgusting." I hope it's something Hikaru would say otherwise she wouldn't believe me. Normally I would've wlaked away but Hikaru would make a point that we're just brothers, albeit close but we're twins. She started walking away again and I'd hoped I'd won the battle.
"It's pitiful how much in denial you are when you're so obvious, Hikaru. You're downright pathetic."
"Look Kao-chan's here!" Honey yelled when I stepped through the doors.
"I'm glad to see you've finally arrived." I swear Kyoya's evil aura just gets bigger everytime I see it. "Now go change. Hikaru and the ladies are waiting." By how Kyoya's dressed in a butler's outfit I have a faint idea what's in store for me. A part of Tono's fantasy where he and Haruhi are some rich couple and everyone else are servants.
"Yeah yeah." I answer and walk to the changing area where a pair of curtains are already open for me. When I step inside I see the bag with my name on it. Must be my cosplay. When I open the bag and pick up the costume I gape.
I'M GOING TO FREAKING MAKE TAMAKI WISH HE WAS NEVER BORN!
"Kaoru?" I hide the offending piece of cloth behind my back as Haruhi enters. I couldn't help but be in awe at just how beautiful she looked, dressed in a pink Victorian-era ball dress that accented what little feminine curves she possessed. "I know I must look ridiculous."
"N-no! You look amazing!" I exclaim and waved my hands around. But I realized Haruhi could now see the dreaded thing, too late.
"I can't believe they're making you wear a maid's uniform." I cringed and gave the the black and white frabric a dirty look.
"Neither can I."
"It can't be helped." Haruhi took the cloth and then looked at me. "To be honest, it wouldn't look that bad on you." I gape at her.
"YOU'RE KIDDING ME." She shook her head.
"No, I believe it'd be easy to pull off." I groaned. "Here, want me to help you put it on?"
"NO! Thank you but no!" I shoved her out and then realized I was still holding the costume. I think a vein popped once I saw where the skirt ended. "Tono's such a perv."
After changing into the damn thing I reluctantly took a look in the mirror. The short and frilly skirt barely made it past my ass. I had to take off my freaking boxers and wear a pair of panties that just happened to have been in the bag. Not to mention I had to wear this white silly headress and stockings that were seethrough and had to be clipped onto the panties. Tono is such a perv. I took a look at the pair of black heels. Scratch that. He's a dead perv.
Once everything was on I sighed and stood ready to commirt social suicide. I cringed when the curtain flew open to reveal the seniors.
"Kao-chan! You look nice!" I forced a not-so-sure-about-that smile.
"You really think so?" The both of them nodded. "Guess I won't shoot myself then."
I took in their appearances and saw Mori was dressed in all white as a chef and Honey wore a pair of pink overalls and a straw hat to complete his gardener look. Least they're not wearing an immodestly short skirt out of a dirty magazine.
"I'm sure the ladies will love it." Honey gave one of his cavity-inducing smiles.
"Yeah." Mori said. With Honey guiding me by the hand and Mori standing guard in case I fell, I managed to walk to where Hikaru was waiting with our clients.
"Gaaahhhh! Kaoru looks so adorable!"
"Look at his legs! They're just like a girl's!"
"He can totally pull of anything!"
I could feel myself go red at how every girl in the room was oogling me. I caught Haruhi's eyes and she gave me a thumbs up. I bet she liked that everyone was now obsessing over my crossdressing instead of her cross-cross-dressing if such a thing existed.
Right before we made it to the table there was the sound of a 'powerful engine' and I almost lost it.
"Behold ladies! Two of our fellow gentlemen and beloved hosts have given us this blessing of wonderful crossdressing!" Renge the Okaku Queen yells into her microphone to which the other girls cheer her on.
"Takashi, the scary lady's back."
"Yeah."
While everyone's looking at Renge someone taps me on the shoulder. I turn to see Hikaru dressed in a suit, looking extremely uncomftable and avoiding looking at me. My stomach sank. Not him too...?
"Just ignore her." I nodded and Hikaru took my hand and got us to the couch.
"You're looking lovely today Kaoru." One girl says.
"You're too kind." I strain to say.
"Who came up with today's costumes?" The other asks.
"Tamaki and Renge." Hikaru answers as he leans away from me. I feel terrible. My own brother's ignoring me because of this stupid...! Course it would be weird seeing your identical twin crossdressing because it's like looking in a mirror. Seeing me in a maid's outfit means he's seeing himself in it too.
"So who's maid are you supposed to be?" The first girl's setting us up.
"Why, mine of course." I feel Hikaru's hot breath on my neck before his hands grab me, placing me in his lap. "A good maid will cater to the master's every need. Right Kaoru?" Hikaru smirks and I want to turn around and hit him but his hands around my torso hold me securely in place.
"Ye-yes Hikaru." I fake a blush and speak in a slightly higher voice.
"That's Master to you." He says right against my ear.
"Kya~! Too cute!"
"I know!" The girls grab hands and start spouting nonsesnse. I shift just a bit to get more comfy and Hikaru amkes a sound in the back of his throat.
"You all right there?" I whisper.
"Ye-yeah just a cough." I almost want to turn around to see if he's when I remember what that girl said.
"If only you saw the way you look at him."
I mentally frown. The way Hikaru looks at me during our act? It's just hours of practice and writing out scrpts to the point of being natural. I shouldn't take what that girl said seriously then. She's just another nameless fangirl wanting to believe in something not there.
Yeah that's probably it.
Sorry for not updating in so long. Please find it in your hearts to forgive me because life is unpredicable at the worst times. Thanks to those who reviewed the last chapter and note that I will slowly add the m-rated meterial to this fic instead of just rushing into it. Also I want brutally honest comments because I had to rewrite this chapter many times and don't be afraid to point out anything like if it's rushed or anything and I haven't looked it over too much.
PS I was watching Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler amvs before this and that's how I got the whole cosplay in. I'm sure you know which characters' cosplays I used, but not all of them.
I promise to update faster!
