For something that didn't mean anything, Kaoru spent the majority of his day thinking about his morning.
Throughout his morning classes, he would often get sidetracked in class, playing the dream over and over in his head. For some reason, it kept him interested just by remembering it.
In his second-period class, Kaoru found himself looking at Hikaru. The memory of how perfect he seemed that morning brought a small smile to his face.
"Kaoru?"
A small tap on his shoulder made him jump. He turned his head to see his friend, Haruhi Fujioka.
"Oh, hey, Haruhi. What's up?" The sight of somebody who wasn't Hikaru made him somewhat relieved.
Haruhi shrugged. "I don't know. It's just that you're gazing off into space, smiling. And I may be wrong, but you seem to be watching Hikaru. Are you alright?"
Kaoru turned pink. "Oh…um, y-yeah! I'm just perfect! Sorry 'bout that!" He let out a nervous laugh.
At this point, Hikaru caught onto the situation, and leaned over to join his twin and his friend. "What are you two talking about?"
Kaoru turned red. The memory of him leaning over his brother flashed through his head.
"Nothing! Dammit, Hikaru, can't I go have one conversation without you butting in?!" he hissed. Kaoru whirled around and faced the front of the classroom again, leaving Hikaru and Haruhi staring at him as though he had gone mad.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Kaoru couldn't concentrate, and sighed as he got lost in his thoughts once again.

"Welcome to the Ouran Host Club!"
It was the end of the day, and all the hosts had gathered in Music Room #3 to welcome their guests. Today's theme was a day at the beach. Every host wore a swimsuit and a tropical shirt, unbuttoned, exposing a minute part of their chests. Naturally, Haruhi kept her shirt buttoned up, but the guest didn't find it at all suspicious.
Kaoru had been looking forward to the Host Club all day. This was the time where he didn't have to worry about the consequences of accidentally taking more risks like he did this morning. It would all just seem to be apart of their act. And, since only a slither of Hikaru's chest was shown, Kaoru didn't find himself looking at it whenever he looked at Hikaru.
The twins were naturally sitting with their guests at their table, just talking. "Uh, Hikaru? Would you like some chocolate? My chef just made some this morning," a blond guest asked, meekly.
Hikaru chuckled, and cupped her face with his hand. "Of course, why do you even ask, princess?" The guest blushed heavily.
Kaoru, on cue, stood up from the table. With one swift motion, he slapped Hikaru across the face. "You jerk! You lied to me!" he yelled, before turning to run off.
Before he could, Hikaru grabbed Kaoru's arm and twirled him right into his arms.
"I'm sorry, Kaoru. I was only teasing her. You know you're the most important person to me."
Kaoru blushed and smiled, both half-genuine. "Oh, Hikaru. I should have known better. If I can do anything to make it up to you, just tell me."
A sly smile crept across Hikaru's face.
"In fact…."
Kaoru looked up at Hikaru, a confused look in his eyes. Hikaru smirked and, without warning, threw Kaoru down on top of the table, knocking over plates and flowers. The twin's guests gasped, and jumped away from the table. All the other guests in the room turned to see the commotion, except the hosts, who knew it was an act.
Hikaru slammed his hands onto the table, right above Kaoru's shoulders. He was still smirking. Kaoru watched him, shocked.
This wasn't a part of the act.
Hikaru placed one of his hands inside Kaoru's and lowered himself close to Kaoru's face, and lips. Kaoru gasped. The girls in the room all waited impatiently, wanting to see what would happen happen.
Hikaru leaned in close to Kaoru's face, his eyes filled with taunt and seduction. "..You can make it up to me right now." Kaoru lightly gasped, as Hikaru inched his way closer, and closer to Kaoru's mouth. The fangirls held their breath, and the entire room was silent, just waiting, as Hikaru's lips were less than a centimeter away from Kaoru's…
"Hika-chan!! Do you want some cake?!"
Honey's voice broke the silence, and stopped Hikaru in his tracks. He grinned and turned towards Honey's direction. "Sure, Honey-senpai! I'll be right over." The rest of the room sighed in disappointment, and fell back in order, the discussions among the hosts and the guest continued.
But before Hikaru got up, he slowly made is way to Kaoru's ear, and softly whispered something that made Kaoru's heart stop.
"Don't we have the most interesting mornings?"
