Chapter Two: Reaching Out to You.
"Cheer up Hikaru, seriously. You're like Tamaki-senpai when he's all depressed," Kaoru said as he noticed his brother's depression all over himself as Hikaru just looked at his brother, "Do I need to repeat myself to you again?"
Kaoru just rolled his eyes. As he was wondering off in the plane besides his brother he was getting a little annoyed by Hikaru's actions ever since their mom told them about him getting married. It's always the same thing, 'At least you're not getting married in a year', 'Oh shut up you don't know what I'm going through' or 'I'm getting forced to move to America while you're where ever you are.' Every time the dark haired twin would complain or repeat himself Kaoru would just shrug it off and go along with it, he was in no mood to fight with Hikaru at all. As they arrived an hour later they grabbed their bags and headed out of the plane, thanking the workers and hurried along to see Haruhi, Tamaki and the rest of the gang. While they were walking out they noticed a big sign with their names on it as the whole group was right behind it.
"Hey guys! Been a while!" Kaoru said greeting everyone as Tamaki and Mori help the other two with their bags.
"Kao-chan, Hika-chan, how was the flight?" Hunny asked as Hikaru just kept walking with his luggage as Kaoru sighed, "It was okay. Besides the whole Hikaru having a hissy fit."
"I was not having a hissy fit." Hikaru spoke as he glared at the younger twin. Kaoru just laughed at him, "Okay so you complaining about how mom's crazy for setting you up and how you'll be getting married in a year isn't a hissy fit?"
"Hikaru. You should be very excited! I bet your soon to be wife must be lovely," Tamaki said cheerfully being happy for the boy.
Hikaru sighed in annoyance, "I barely know the girl besides her name."
"Then what's her name then?" Kyoya asked being suspicious about the whole thing.
"It's Ayamo, Ayamo Ito." Kyoya just nodded and decided to help him by researching about her later on in the day when there's nothing else to do. As they put the twins luggage in the back of the car everyone went inside as Tamaki started driving, it was full silent besides the radio playing.
"So, you guys hungry? Shall we eat somewhere?" Tamaki asked as everyone just shrugged in response. He sighed to himself and decided to bring them to a restaurant that he and Haruhi would go every week after her studies it was called Maneki, a wonderful sushi place. As everyone sat together and placed their orders Kyoya was bored to the point where he took his smart phone out and started researching already. As he was looking his eyes widen as everyone looked at him.
He cleared his throat as he read what he found, "Ayamo Ito, a daughter of the Ito's. She's the oldest, out of three siblings. She's studying in California for business. Though she has a reputation for being controlling in her other jobs. Known for being obsessive in her relationships, 'once you try to leave, there's probably no turning back'."
Hikaru just looked down on the table covering his face with his hands as Kaoru just patted his brother's back, feeling bad for him. He didn't think that Ayamo would be anything like that at all. She was nice and friendly but first impressions aren't helpful.
"Well, it's all I could find about her so far," Kyoya said as Hikaru just groaned in response. He was stuck with those crazy girls, the girls he hated. The boy remembered how Renge was when she found Kyoya a few years ago. Making him panic twice as much.
"What am I suppose to do. I don't want mom upset. Though I don't want to die early. See! Kaoru you said she wouldn't be crazy. I proved you wrong! Help me guys! I don't want to move to San Francisco and see the girl." Hikaru begged as their orders came in.
"Well, sorry! Just tell mom the truth, she'll get over it anyways." Kaoru suggested as Hikaru grabbed his brother's t-shirt, "You think that'll help. I love mom too much to even get her upset for even a little while."
"Hikaru," Mori spoke as Hikaru looked at the tall male, "Eat, calm down, and we'll think of something."
Hikaru nodded and let go of Kaoru and decided to eat trying to focus on the good thing, being with his friends.
As everyone was done eating they decided to come by to Haruhi's apartment as they all gathered around together thinking of an idea to help the older twin. No one had nothing. Since he didn't want to break his mother's heart by telling him that he didn't want to get married to her there was nothing else. Everyone felt bad cause they see the pain that he's going through.
After two hours, two long hours of thinking. Someone finally got an idea, "I got something." Everyone looked at Tamaki with hope as he spoke again, "Tell your mom, that you've been in a relationship with someone. Though, when she asks why you haven't told her just say that you were going to but then she came across the idea of her setting your future marriage."
Everyone looked at the tall blond with shock, they didn't think someone who's an idiot at times would think of an idea like that. When Hikaru was just getting to the point of being happy he came across another problem, "Wait, who should I say?"
"Easy," Tamaki said as he pointed at Kaoru, "Say that you've been secretly dating Kaoru."
Hikaru slapped his forehead as Kaoru and everyone else started laughing. After all they were known as the twins doing the brotherly love act. Hikaru then pushed Tamaki's arm, "I said I didn't want to break her heart not give her a heart attack!"
"W-what? Hikaru, y-you don't love me?" Kaoru said half-offended by what his brother said as Hikaru embraced his brother, "I do love y- Wait, hey. No time for joking around!"
Everyone just laughed including Hikaru who just decided to take a break away from worrying about his problems for now.
As they all sat around watching movies Haruhi offered the twins if they'd like to stay over since the other three were. Of course they'd agree to it. After it was ten at night Hunny was already sleeping on Mori as he placed the small boy on the couch. Kyoya was resting peacefully in the guest room where Mori was going to, though he decided to sleep on the floor. Kaoru was sleeping on the other couch that turned into a bed where he and Hikaru would share. Hikaru was in the balcony enjoying the silence the night had, looking out at the city lights as Haruhi opened the blind screen and sat besides him.
"It must be hard for you."
Hikaru looked at her and bit his lip and looked out at the city as he spoke, "I'll get through it somehow." Haruhi just smiled and bent down to look at Hikaru, "That's good that you're not complaining. Just remember that we're here for you, and we'll help as much as we can."
"Thanks, Haruhi." the brunette gave Hikaru a hug before she left to go to bed. After a while then Hikaru realized he hadn't had this much of a hard time ever since he tried letting her go. Not only that when people didn't recognize who was who when him and Kaoru had the same hair color. Though he was thinking too much to the point where he fell asleep on the balcony. When Kaoru slowly woke up from noticing that his brother didn't go to bed he walked up to the balcony and noticed he fell asleep there on the table, he chuckled to himself and carried his brother into the bed.
The next day Haruhi woke up bright and early to cook everyone breakfast, after she was done she decided to check who was online since she wanted to talk to her father since it's been a couple of days. When there was no luck she frowned to herself but noticed someone else being on, 'Maybe she'll help,' she thought to herself as she clicked on her friends name and began typing.
"Matsuko. It's been a while."
"While? A long while. How you've been? How's you and tama-perv?" She laughed at the nickname she gave Tamaki as she replied, "We're doing good. I'm doing good. You? How's San Francisco?"
"It's good. I guess. Hopefully I can see you again, I should visit whenever I'm free."
"You're welcome anytime." As she kept talking to her old friends in middle school Tamaki popped in the room causing the brunette to jump as he laughed, "Morning Haruhi, breakfast smells great as always. Oh, who are you talking to?"
"I'm talking to Matsuko. Remember? The girl who visited me and kept calling you Tama-perv."
The blond pouted, "I'm not a pervert. Tell her I said hello." Haruhi nodded and typed it down as Matsuko invited her friend to a webcam session as she accepted it.
"Tamaki-senpai, you are a pervert." Matsuko teased as Tamaki gritted his teeth, "I'm no pervert!"
"Hey, Tamaki you're loud! Thankfully you didn't wake up Hu-" Kaoru complained coming in the room as he looked over at the computer screen a noticed a girl with wavy medium black hair as he smiled, "Is that Matsuko?"
The two nodded as Matsuko waved at the adburn teen, "Hey. What happened to your braces, and you cut your hair! Where are you studying now?"
Matsuko glared at him, "Don't remind me, I looked horrible. I'm studying in San Francisco."
Kaoru froze for a second. Since Hikaru needed a pretend girlfriend to stop the marriage there was only one person, her. Since she did live in San Francisco it would have been a great chance to ask her. Though he thought about it again, she probably would be offended by it. "Hey Matsuko, you mind picking my brother up from the airport next Saturday there? He's studying there too, plus it would be great for you two to talk and all that."
"Yeah sure, anyways I have to go, my grandpa fell asleep on my little cousin. Bye!" As she sighed off. Haruhi looked at Kaoru realizing what he was thinking. Surely to make Hikaru ask Matsuko to be his fake girlfriend when he sees her.
"Kaoru you're so unexpected," Kaoru just grinned and walked away, "It's for what's best."
As he walked into the living to have some breakfast his brother ran towards him, "Man, mom already moved most of my stuff into my condo. She said by Saturday I'll be there."
'Speaking of the devil,' He thought as he smiled at his older brother as Hikaru raised a brow, "I have someone picking you up at the airport on Saturday. Be sure to be on the look-out Hikaru, you'll probably won't even recognize them."
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's just say you're going to have so much help from them, okay?" Kaoru explained as Hikaru just shrugged and went to the table where everyone else was already eating breakfast.
