Chapter 6

*Hikaru's POV*

Why should I?

My brother's words kept ringing in my ear. I stood in front of his door shocked. He never ever said things like this to me.

''Kaoru please?'' I kept pleading.

''No.'' a simple answer. Not what I wanted to hear though.

''Please let me in so we can talk.'' I said. Now I was completely hopeless.

''I have nothing to talk about with you. Please just go away.''

I couldn't believe to my ears. As soon as his sentence got through to my brain I gave up and went back to my room.

*Kaoru's POV*

I heard my brother's footsteps slowly fading away with each step. I wasn't crying. Anymore. My tears aren't coming anymore. I guess maybe I accepted it already. You know it's not very nice when you're in love with your brother. It's gross. For him and others. I just can't help feeling hurt. Tomorrow I'll have to apologize to both of them.

'And I'll have to wish them to be happy forever. I won't stand in their way anymore...'

With that last thought in my head I drifted off to sleep.

*Next morning*

I woke up with a terrible headache. The last thing I wanted to my mood. Good. This will be a very good day.

I went into the bathroom and immediately froze as soon as I saw myself in the mirror. I looked terrible. My eyes were red an puffy. I have none other choice other than use some makeup. Stupid right? After all I'm a boy. Not a girl. So why do I use makeup now? It's easy. Because I don't want anyone to see my face right now. Especially my brother.

When I was done I put on my expensive school uniform and went downstairs to get something for breakfast. My brother was already there. He looked up and as soon as he saw me his face brightened up and he ran straight to me. He hugged me so tight that I thought I would die. I slowly pushed him away.

He looked at me questioningly. ''I couldn't breathe.'' I smiled. Then I took a huge breath.

My brother saw that I wanted to say something so he remained silent.

''I'm sorry for yesterday.'' I managed out.

''What happened? Why did you run away?'' he asked. Now that got me. I didn't prepare for this. How am I going to explain that to him?

''Um...Maybe I just didn't want to disturb you two?'' please just believe this...please Hikaru.

''Oh... And then why didn't you let me in? In the first place why did you go to your room? You're always in mine.'' he asked furrowing his brows.

''You got a problem with that?'' I pouted. Honestly I just wanted to change the subject so he won't find out anything.

''No...but next time at least tell me if you're going to sleep in your room. I was so alone yesterday.'' he made a sad face. I smiled and hugged him.

''I promise.''

''If you don't keep it you'll have to swallow one thousand needles. Ok?''

I smiled. ''Understood.''

''Now let's go or we'll be late.''

Yes. If he is happy then I'm happy too. No matter how much it will hurt for me he'll be the first. I'll put my feelings aside. I'll find someone someday. I'm sure...

*Haruhi's POV*

I got into the class too soon. I was worried about the twins. Yesterday I couldn't sleep so I was thinking and realized that I was too mean towards Kaoru. I wanted to keep Hikaru all to myself. I wasn't thinking about others feelings. I decided that I have to apologize to Kaoru.

The door opened and I saw the twins hand-in-hand like they always used to come to school. They came up to me.

''Good morning Haruhi.'' they said in unison.

''Kaoru. Are you all right?'' I asked.

''Yeah. Sorry for yesterday.'' he smiled at me.

''Ok. Let's just forget everything shall we? It's all right now.'' Hikaru said and looked at Kaoru. He nodded.

''Congratulations for you two.'' he said smiling. I looked at Hikaru. His face was unreadable. Then suddenly his face brightened up and he put his hands on my shoulder. To do this he had to release his brother's hand but Kaoru didn't seem to mind it. He just kept smiling.

Somehow it worried me, but I just swept the feeling away into my subconcious...

*Tamaki's POV*

Afternoon at the Host Club

I was worried about those two. Why? Because...

*Flashback*

I looked at Kaoru's back as he was deviating. He looked so happy today. I smiled. Then I heard something breaking then saw one of the twins (later on I knew it was Kaoru) ran out of the Host Club with the other chasing after him. He was stopped by the door though. He was running after Kaoru so much that he forgot to pay attention to his surroundings and he hadn't noticed that Kaoru slammed the door so he ran straight into it.

I ran up to him. ''Are you all right? What happened? Why did Kaoru run away? And why were you chasing him?'' I flooded him with questions.

''Just one at a time Tamaki.'' he said rubbing his forehead. Then he told me everything. That he kissed Haruhi and Kaoru saw them and ran away.

Hikaru was long gone after his twin. I sat on a couch thinking...

*End of Flashback*

Finally they came in. Hikaru and Kaoru hand-in-hand like they used to. I smiled. Then everything is all right now. I'm happy.

''Hello my little children.'' I greeted them dramatically. As I expected I got a punch from two sides. One from Hikaru and one from Kaoru.

''Hello Tono.'' they said in unison.

''Ouch...'' I whimpered on the ground.

They smiled and helped me up.

''Thank you guys...''

*Hikaru's POV*

After the Host Club

''Tono we're leaving.'' I said to our silly king.

''Ok. See you tomorrow my sons.'' he said. We sighed. He is sure stupid.

While we were waiting for the limo clung onto Kaoru's arm.

He laughed and put his head on my shoulder. I took his hand and squeezed it.

Suddenly he asked something I hoped he'll never ask.

''Hikaru...you won't abandon me right? You'll always be by my side right? No matter what happens you'll always remain my brother right?'' he sounded so desperate that it squeezed my heart.

''I'll never leave you. I'll always be by your side, and I'll remain your brother forever. No matter what happens.'' I said and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back.

''You promise?''

''I promise.''

'Then I'm happy.'' he mumbled.

I almost missed it because the limo came right then and he said it so quietly. Somehow it saddened my heart when I heard him say those words. But for now, I just swept the feeling away. Now I have to focus on him. I have to make sure he doesn't get hurt.

When we got in the limo he laid his head in my lap and fell asleep. He had so peaceful face when he was sleeping.

Hitachiin mansion

We went straight upstairs. Into my room. Kaoru flopped down on my bed. He fell asleep right away. Again. I smiled and crawled in next to him. I didn't feel like showering now. I pecked his forehead and took him in my arms.

I breathed in my brother's scent. Soon I fell asleep too...

End of Chapter 6

That sure took long for me to update and I'm sorry for it. I just didn't have any idea how to continue.

Anyway I know that I'm a bit late but I hope you enjoyed it. :-)

Happy New Year to everyone! ;-)
