I'm going to have a translation guide after almost every French sentence. Sorry, but hey, it's better than having to go to google translate every time there's a French word.


"Uh, bonjour, Hikaru, ca va?"

Hikaru whipped around to face Kaoru, "Why is Nessa in our house?!"

I ignored his rudeness, in order to figure out what mess Kaoru got me in. "You mean you didn't tell Hikaru I was coming over to help him?!"

Kaoru only shrugged, "C'est la vie! Full of surprises." T: That's Life!

"You gotta be kidding," I turned around ready to leave, but Kaoru stopped me.

"Nessa, wait. We really do need your help. Well more Hikaru than anything," He stifled a laugh and Hikaru glared at him, "Please just stay for a bit longer."

There were so many things could've said at that moment, so many pent up emotions. Why should I?, Why did I even bother coming over?, Why should I help you two in the first place?, I don't wanna be your toy! In fact I don't wanna be your anything! I just want to go back to my old life, and never see any of you again! But, for reasons I still don't quite understand, the only thing I could say at that moment was, "Fine."


I studied our homework sheet and Hikaru studied me. It was a bit creepy, I will admit.

"Why don't we start with conversations. Um, informal ok?"

He nodded.

"Bonjour, ca va?" T: Hello, how are you?

"Je vais bien, et vous?" T: I'm doing well, and you?

I was a bit surprised, he said that fluently, did he really need my help or was Kaoru pulling my leg? I wouldn't be surprised at the latter.

"Non tres bien." T: Not very well.

"Oh, vraiment? Pourquoi est-ce?" T: Oh really? Why is that?


The conversation went on, and Hikaru did very well. I guess Kaoru really was pulling my leg. Not saying our conversations weren't fun, in fact it was actually a bit enjoyable talking with Hikaru. Even if we were just reciting French phrases. I can't believe it, but I'm actually starting to consider becoming the Host Club's...no. Nevermind. Never in a million years will that happen.


Hikaru's POV

As much as I want to hate Kaoru for Nessa's surprise visit, I can't. For starters, he's my twin, the only person I've ever been able to rely on. He's the only one that knows what I feel, and he's the only one who actually cares about me. Another thing is that, I'm actually happy to be hanging out with Nessa. It's kind of an odd feeling, and it's even odder that it's about someone other than Kaoru. It's like, I actually want to spend time with her. I just don't get it.


Kaoru walked in on a laughing Nessa and Hikaru.

He smiled, "Having fun?"

"Oui, oui!" I grinned. T: Yes, yes!

He sat down in between us, "Well, I hate to tell you, but there's a limo outside waiting for you, and it isn't ours Nessa."

"Crap." I looked at my phone, 10 messages, all from my mother.

I stood up and started for the door, "Bye Hikaru! Bye Kaoru! See you tomorrow!"

They stood up as well and waved, "Bye!" Kaoru said cheerily.

"Au revoir!" Hikaru called, "Je t'aime!"

I froze. What did he just say? I spun around, with a startled look on my face, "You, you what?"

Hikaru looked a bit confused, but repeated the words, and sure enough, he had said what I thought I'd heard.

"Je t'aime."

Kaoru jumped in front of his twin and pushed me down the steps and out their door, "Bye Nessa! Thanks for coming over! We'll see you tomorrow!" And with that he slammed the front door. I stood there, confused, until my chauffeur led me to the car.


Hikaru slumped in his chair, "What was up with her? All I said was thank you-"

"No, you didn't. Don't you know what je t'aime means?"

"Yeah, it means 'Thank You.'"

Kaoru began pacing, "No, it doesn't. I knew you were bad at french, but seriously, how do you get je t'aime out of merci?" T: Merci-Thank You

Hikaru rolled his eyes, "Whatever, but what did I say to her anyway?"

Kaoru shoved a piece of paper in Hikaru's face.

The older twin's eyes widened and he paled, "I just told Nessa that I-I-"

Hikaru couldn't seem to get the words out.

I just told her, 'I Love You.'
