More Than Us: Chapter 2
Hikaru walked beside his brother, hands stuffed into the pockets of designer jeans. They were once more in the commoners' part of town, but had had their car drop them off a little ways from Haruhi's home so that they would cause a disruption. It felt odd to Hikaru that he and Kaoru were visiting without the lord, but that had been his younger brother's idea.
"Oi, there it is." The older twin muttered, gesturing to the condo with tilt of his head. He and his clone turned and approached the building, hardly getting the chance to knock on the door before it was flung open and Ranka stood before them.
"The Hitachiin brothers!" The transvestite squealed as he saw them, "It's so nice to see you, and without that idiot Tamaki. Come in!"
The twins sweat dropped in unison as the glanced at each other, and then looked back to Ranka, "A-arigatou…"
Haruhi's father had such an overwhelming personality, and yet they couldn't help but enjoy his company. He definitely reminded them of someone, they thought, imagining Ranka and Tamaki simultaneously squee-ing over how adorable Haruhi was. There was certainly a similarity.
"Ano," Kaoru ventured, glancing around, "Where's Haruhi?"
"Here!" suddenly a female voice joined the conversation as she quickly entered the room, skidding to a halt, "You're early! It's only…" She checked her watch; sweat dropping as she realized that in actuality, she was a minute late, "Gah! I could have sworn I still had ten minutes!"
"Don't worry," Kaoru smiled at her, "You can have some extra time if you need it."
"No!" She shook her head, "I'm ready to go."
Hikaru remained silent during this time, taking in Haruhi's appearance. As usual, her father had insisted she wear feminine clothing. The girl wore a dress, a flower pattern hugging her small bosom, pink lace ruffling from there to ad the illusion of a chest. From the frills and flowers hung a simple pink fabric, gradually flaring as it approached her knees. God, she looked cute.
"Hikaru?" The girl blinked as she looked at the elder twin, "Hikaru…are you okay? You're being so quiet…"
"H-hai…" he rusty haired teen turned away with a faint pink tinge to his cheeks. If Tamaki had been able to see what thoughts had been playing in his mind mere moments before, the twin would surely be dead, "I'm fine. So, what're we doing anyways?"
Haruhi paused to think, a slender finger on her lips, "I don't know. You said you wanted to see the commoners' sights." Even though the words had slightly insulted her, she understood that the twins had no ill intentions in dubbing the sights of her neighborhood as such, "We could go to the docks…or to a movie maybe. Then there's the market, but you wouldn't want to go there. Ah! There's this great little ice-cream shop near the theatre!"
"Is that all that's here?" Hikaru wrinkled his nose slightly at the lack of activities. If they'd been in the more ritzy part of town, there was a zoo, and an aquarium, some awesome restaurants, a two story mall, an arcade with all the latest video game releases, and a theatre where you could actually see live performances.
"Sounds fun to me," Kaoru smiled politely, giving his brother a stern look in response to the insulting nature of his comment.
"Well I'm sorry there's not more stuff," Haruhi muttered sarcastically, "You're the ones who wanted to hang out here." So quietly that they couldn't hear she added, "Rich bastards…"
"How about we head to the docks first then?" Kaoru suggested to break the tension. That was the perfect place for phase two of his plan to come into play. Hikaru nodded, signaling that it sounded good to him, and Haruhi gave them a smile.
The young girl grabbed a small bag which matched her dress, and headed to the door. Her friends followed. The three slid into their shoes, and stepped out into the sunlight. It really was a nice day for being outside. She'd rather go to the docks than to the theatre anyway.
As they approached the water, they could hear the waves slapping lazily against the rocky shoreline. A wooden dock lined the water's edge, several small boats tied to it. The twins blinked in awe, used to grand yachts. In unison they exclaimed, "What small boats!"
Haruhi rolled her eyes at their spoiled naivety. Of course, to her anything bigger than a row boat was a grand thing to behold, "They aren't that small. You're just used to seeing enormous boats!"
She and Hikaru became occupied with a friendly argument over the difference between a large and a small boat. They didn't see the glean in Kaoru's golden eye as he decided it was time to set phase two of his plan into motion. The younger twin began 'exploring' the rocky shores beyond the dock. Suddenly, he fell to the ground, clutching his ankle and shouting in pain.
"Kaoru!" Hikaru rushed to his brother's side, "Kaoru, what's wrong?!"
As older twin pulled younger into a worried embrace, several young girls walking past squealed at the twincest moment. Haruhi still didn't get why it was so exciting to see twin being all lovey on each other. Still, she was also concerned and went to the brothers' aid.
"I think I twisted my ankle. I must have tripped on one of the rocks!" Kaoru feigned a pout, very convincingly.
"Don't worry; I'll carry you back to Haruhi's house!" Hikaru began to scoop his brother up, but the younger twin shook his head.
"I don't want to spoil this outing!" He insisted, "I can walk back myself…don't worry, I'll rest it when I get there."
"Are you sure?" Haruhi ventured. She didn't mind heading back if one of the twins was injured.
"I'm sure!" Kaoru stressed, hobbling to his feet, and limping out of the rocks, "It isn't that far…"
Before any more objections could be raised, the younger twin limped off towards the condo. Once he was out of sight, he leaned against a wall, still fully intent on spying on the date, and sighed, "Have fun without me…"
Author's Note: I even included a twincest scenario. So there you go. Please review and let me know what you think...aside from that it's to short. Constructive Critisism is HIGHLY appreciated. How can I be better? What exactly am I doing right? Am I at all in character?
