It's a Twin Thing

Chapter 8

With the oncoming Winter Holidays, the students of Ouran were getting hyped up with thoughts of being out of school for a few weeks. Chatter of what people were doing over the break filled the classroom, making it rather difficult for anyone to get any work done.

"What're you doing for the holidays?"

"We're going to the Bahamas on our yacht."

"We did that last year, this year we're flying to Paris on our private jet!"

"Oh I love Paris this time of the year!"

Sei was sitting next to Haruhi in the back of the classroom, both girls were trying their hardest to finish up the rest of their work before Winter Holidays started so they wouldn't have to worry about it over the break.

The burgundy haired girl bit the end of her pen, scrunching up her nose in thought before glancing over at her friend. "Hey, Haruhi, what's the answer to question 86?"

The shorter girl with brown hair looked up from her notebook,"Ah, hold on."

Sei nodded and started trying to balance her pencil on her nose while she waited for Haruhi to find the answer.

"Oi, Haruhi! Nanami-chan!" The twins popped up on either side of the girls, making Sei lose her concentration, sending the pencil flying off her nose and land infront of her on the desk.

Kaoru eyed the taller girl who was now glaring, albeit playfully, at he and his brother.

"What're you doing?"

"What does it look like we're doing?" Sei replied.

Hikaru raised an eyebrow at her,"Well, if you ask me, it looks like you're slacking off on your work."

"For your information, I was waiting for Haruhi to help me on a question I had." Sei answered, pointing her pencil at the older Hitachiin brother.

Kaoru and Hikaru peered over the girls' shoulders at the work they had done and frowned,"You're no fun, why work on homework when you should be brainstorming ideas for the Winter Ball?"

Sei and Haruhi looked up,"Winter Ball?" they asked the twins in unison, tilting their heads a little.

The gingerheaded twins nodded,"You didn't know? The Host Club is putting together a Winter Ball right before we get out of school."

Sei snorted,"Count me out."

Haruhi nodded,"I've got more important things to do than go to this ball thing."

Hikaru and Kaoru exchanged glances before smirking,"Oh, but you have no choice in the matter."

It was now Wednesday, two days after Haruhi and Sei's little chat with the twin's in the classroom, and they only had a few minutes left to prepare for the Winter Ball that night.

"Ugh. I can't believe this." Sei pouted as she finished tying her tie.

"Well, just think of it this way, in a few hours it'll be over and we'll be free of the Host Club for a few weeks." Haruhi's voice gave away her irritance. Sei glanced over her shoulder at the other girl before nodded and staring at herself in the mirror.

The taller of the two girls was wearing dark navy blue dress pants with a macthing jacket over a white collared dress shirt. Her tie was a lighter shade of blue and was tucked neatly away under her jacket, and lastly she wore a pair of black dress shoes.

Haruhi came over to where Sei was standing,"You ready?"

The burgundy haired girl turned around and eyed her friend for a moment. Haruhi was wearing a dark grey suit, a white collared dress shirt underneath, her tie was a red wine color and tucked neatly away like Sei's was, she wore similar shoes as Sei did. It was quite obvious that this outfit didn't belong to her, Sei figured it must've been borrowed from the twin's.

"Hey, Sei? You okay?"

"Wha--hm? Oh, yeah, haha, sorry." The taller girl grinned sheepishly before offering Haruhi her outstretched arm,"Shall we?"

The brown haired girl rolled her eyes at her friend's antics, but linked her arm with her nonetheless, marching down to the party side-by-side.

All eyes seemed to be on the two 'boys' as they made their way down the winding staircase, many of the girls sighed dreamily at the sight.

"Ugh, Sei, we're making a scene." Haruhi whispered in her friend's ear, who's grin only widened at hearing this.

"I know, isn't it great?"

Haruhi inwardly rolled her eyes, but couldn't ignore the upward twitch of her lips as the two descended the stairwell and made their way over to the rest of the Host Club, already standing on the landing above everyone else.

Hikaru and Kaoru looked at them funny,"Stoppit, guy love is our thing."

Haruhi quickly obliged to them by unhooking her arm from Sei's, while the taller girl frowned a little.

"Way to ruin my fun, guys."

"Anytime." Hikaru stuck out his tongue at her, and she responded with the same gesture.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the annual Winter Ball hosted by Ouran's Host Club!" Tamaki started, flashing the crowd a charming smile.

Kyouya then continued,"We will be having a little contest, the girl who dances the best will be rewarded at the end of the night with a kiss by our own Host Prince."

Nearly all the girls in the room squealed with excitement at hearing this, clearly wanting that kiss from Tamaki.

"Please, enjoy yourselves." Tamaki grinned and after this was said, he and the rest of the host club descended the stairs and mingled amongst the guests down below.

Sei was walking alongside Haruhi once again, not really one for dancing and the like, that is, until one of the brown haired girl's regulars came and whisked her away to the dance floor.

The burgundy haired host made her way through the dancing crowd and over to the drink table, grabbing herself a glass of punch.

"Ah, um, Sei-kun?" A timid voice asked.

"Hm? Oh, hello Miwako-chan." Sei smiled,"Enjoying yourself?"

The auburn haired girl blushed a little before nodding,"I was wondering, if, um, you would maybe, um, dance with me..?"

The emerald eyed host grinned, downing the rest of her punch before offering her arm to the blushing girl before her. "I'd love to, Miwako-chan."

Hikaru and Kaoru watched as Sei led the timid girl out into the center of the dance floor and started twirling her about gracefully. Currently, the two brothers were dancing with eachother, surrounded by a group of giggling girls.

"She's not bad." Kaoru mused.

Hikaru turned his head to his brother,"What?"

"Her dancing." Kaoru quickly supplied, making his brother raise an eyebrow at him.

"Just go ask her to dance."

The younger Hitachiin twin gave his brother a look of uncertainty, before he was pushed forward. Although Hikaru didn't like the thought that maybe his brother felt something more for their newest toy, he didn't want to deny Kaoru his happiness.

Kaiya, the girl that was now dancing with Sei, felt a tap on her shoulder, turning around she noticed one of the Hitachiin twin's standing there, flashing a dazzling smile.

"Ah, Riitaki-san, may I cut in?" He asked, and she couldn't help but to comply.

Sei stared at Kaoru in confusion, figuring this was another one of the Hitachiin's tricks, or somesort of prank.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

He grinned,"Yeah, you can dance with me."

Sei was about to reply, but thought better of it and closed her mouth, deciding that she'd humor him. She wasn't sure why being this close to him made her heart beat quicken against her chest, or why her face began to heat up, though she blamed it on the dancing. The two danced to several songs, unaware of the crowd gathered around them watching, it wasn't until Sei broke apart from Kaoru to get something to drink that she noticed everyone.

"I'm sorry, was I hogging Kaoru all to myself? How selfish of me." She frowned, hitting her hand,"Bad, Sei, bad."

Wow. That sounded like something Sai would say, he's rubbed off on me. She thought in amusement.

"This is the first time I've seen those two together like that, aren't the usually screaming at eachother?" Tamaki frowned,"Or perhaps it's an act for the ladies!"

Kyouya frowned aswell, but for a different reason,"I don't think that's the case."

The blonde haired prince tilted his head and turned to stare at his friend, who seemed to be distracted by something, or rather, someone down below. Tamaki followed his gaze to see Sei breaking apart from Kaoru, and he sent a knowing smile in the direction of his bestfriend.

xxoxxoxxoxxoxxoxxoxxoxxoxxoxxoxxoxxoxxoxxoxx

"The end of our time together is drawing near, I hope all of your enjoyed yourselves as much as I did! Now, to announce the lucky winner of the dancing contest!" Tamaki then leaned over to whisper something with Kyouya.

"And the lucky lady who gets to share a kiss with Tamaki is...Riitaki Kaiya!" The bespeckled boy announced.

Tamaki held out his hand to the blushing girl with raven colored hair, pulling her towards him. Kaiya squeaked when he leaned her back in his arms, afraid he'd accidentally drop her.

"No worries princess, I'd never let you fall." He smiled before closing in and kissing her on the cheek. Every girl in the ballroom squealed in delight at how lucky Kaiya was. When Tamaki helped her to her feet, she stumbled back to her friends, who started chatting away excitedly.

After all the guests had left it was well into the night and the members of the Host Club were getting ready to leave aswell.

"Ne, Nana-chan!" Hunny chirped,"Did you have fun tonight?"

She smiled,"Surprisingly, yeah, I did. How about you Hunny-senpai?"

The small blonde boy grinned,"Hai!"

"Whoa!"

Everyone turned their heads to see Tamaki staring excitedly out the window.

"What's up tono?" Hikaru and Kaoru popped up by the window and stared out of it for a moment before grinning.

Sei and Haruhi exchanged looks before going over to the large double doors where the twins had just exited.

"What's got everyone so..." Sei trailed off as she saw why everyone was in awe, her eyes widened.

"It's snowing." Haruhi breathed beside her as they watched the twins dance around in the falling snow.

"Don't act like you've never seen snow before." Kyouya smirked from the other side of Sei in the doorway. She turned to look up at him and smiled.

"Yeah, but I've never seen it so...so pure like this."

He seemed to think about what she had said before briefly looking up and chuckling.

"What's so funny?" Sei tilted her head.

He didn't answer her, instead, he lowered his head a little and before she could ask what he was doing, she felt his lips crashing down on her own.
