Haruhi/Hikaru
The Temperamental Twin: Part IX
He didn't even realize something was up until he blew up at Haruhi's childhood friend… from a year back. He couldn't help it. Friends should be entirely devoted to each other. She hadn't seen this guy for at least a year and was being all buddy-buddy with him? Hikaru didn't understand it.
After everything was said and done Haruhi regretted slapping Hikaru. But only a little. Hikaru should have known better than to try and talk down one of her friends. She hadn't quite realized how withdrawn the twins were. How out of touch they were with social norms.
It still wasn't a good excuse for speaking in such a manner about Arai-kun though. It was unfair of Hikaru. She was allowed to have friends outside the Host Club after all. She determined that Hikaru would simply have to get over his jealousy as she would have no part of it.
Hikaru was embarrassed after his twin pointed out how he surely offended Haruhi. Hikaru didn't want to Haruhi's cold shoulder. It was the worst. Or at least he assumed it to be. He had never been given the cold shoulder before by anyone.
Haruhi had been right. He was normally a little more ornery and emotional than his brother Kaoru. He was rather amazed that she was able to pick up on it though. Because even though the brothers were similar and identical in appearance, there were some things they couldn't quite hide. Such as Hikaru's temper.
