Hikaru's Doodles

Chapter one, The Plan

.

A prolonged glance….over a client's shoulder

A lingering touch….while returning a book

Sharing a cookie ….without your hands…...A convenient prank among… friends?

Sometimes your oblivious head won't recognize what your heart's been screaming all along, what your body's craving…. Sometimes it takes a brother to nudge you forward, ripping the blindfold off your eyes...and when you're especially thickheaded and stubborn, unable to control your emotions,

…well lucky for him, I'm not just his brother, but his …..Twin.

.

Kaoru's POV.

.

"Make sure you pay close attention to your notes, for this section … It will be on the final test. "

Sitting in the last row, with my head nestled against my curled fingers I dreamily stare out the window next to my desk. Hearing the droned word, "Final," faintly echo in my distracted ear, was like a spike of electrified current, zapping me back to reality. Crap, what did he just say? I inwardly question what I had just heard as my panicked golden eyes flash to the front of the classroom.

.

Discovering in my absolute horror, the last of the three car sized whiteboards were being summarily wiped clean by a short balding man, while standing on his tiptoes. He tosses the grey eraser down, confidently brushing his hands before practically hiking up his tan ill-fitting trousers, exposing his bunched up white athletic socks, and glossy black loafers.

.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes, seeing as my favorite part of the hideously chosen outfit was the poorly fitted fireman plaid button up, barely buttoned over his rotund beer gut. Just looking at the over stretched garment made me think of taking cover under my desk, fearing the sheer magnitude those tiny white buttons were forced to maintain. As in any minute, they could be considered projectile weapons of death.

.

"Damn it "I cursed under my breath seeing the "oh so important" test information vanish under my sensei's hands. What the hell!? he couldn't even wait until class was freaking over. See if I help him out with his little nerdy lumberjack looking outfit. Uhhh… just the sight of my sensei mismatched plaids sends shivers up my spine.

Once all my sensei's sprawling scribbles vanished he arrogantly peers over his shoulder, sharing a knowing shrewd look, clearly intending to teach "moi" a lesson. One you wouldn't find printed in his assigned textbook….no, the smug little man was out to teach me a "personal" lesson.

This is just peachy, the fashion faux pas man is decideing to nail my butt to the wall the ONE time I happen to zone out during one of his monotone lectures. While ignoring everyone else he's managed to lull to sleep. While I inwardly cursed my luck, my outward appearance remained cool as I carelessly shrug my shoulders towards the que ball lumberjack, acting as if everything was well within hand.

.

However, my golden eyes drop down to my notebook, where maybe a half page of notes, and that's stretching it, sits my own scarce penmanship. Damn, what the hell was I freaking thinking!? After that knowing look, I knew all too well the upcoming quiz would account for a major part of my grade, filled with all kinds of trick questions. If I have any possible chance of not going down in flames, I would desperately need to barrow someone else's notes.

Lucky for me, that "someone," happens to live with me.

She's such a pipsqueak… As I have absolutely no problem, sailing my curious eyes over the brunet's oblivious head. Sitting right next to Haru, as always, is my look alike slumped over his desk, mirroring my past behavior, "only" he's actually writing in his notebook. Seeing my brother so uncharacteristically, diligently working causes my tense shoulders to drop with a relieved sigh.

.

Noticing my older brother look…..well bored, I happily nod to myself, knowing it's an encouraging sign, for unlike myself, Hika, absolutely appalls taking notes. Like the rest of our classmates, we lived in the digital age, where things like speech recognition apps are readily available, and freely used. The pencils and notebooks were quickly becoming tools of the past, for most students. There were far less mundane ways to gather the obscure morsels of our instructors' wisdom. However, call me a diehard romantic I still preferred the lost art of pen to paper.

.

Knowing my butt was surprisingly being covered by my industrious twin I smugly propped my feet on the empty chair, hands confidently laced behind my head with a big smile splitting my face. That is until I realize my brother is "still" hovered over his notebook, with the whiteboards wiped clean. Wait, what the hell! He can't still be taking notes!

Much like the white boards in front of the class, my confident smile is wiped clean from my shocked face. As my round eyes plummet to Hika's scrolling pages, realizing there isn't a single word of our teacher's droning lecture on ether of his splayed out notebook pages .

Doodles?! Yep, you guessed it, my older twin decided to also zone out, as I realize between the two of us …we probably couldn't even tell you the first thing about the boring lecture. Sadly kissing my summer goodbye, all the while noticing "nothing" but incoherent nonsense covering the lined pages of Hika's notebook. Crap, Circles… he's drawing freaking circles. I pull my hand up and literally smack myself in the forehead, before it slowly slides across my stunned face, leaving a bright crimson handprint just above my tearing eyes.

.

…If it was chemistry or math then sure, no problem… but English Lit… I should have known. I couldn't help but shake my head, expecting anything other than my brother's usual behavior. Only gaining a small modicum of comfort, knowing I wouldn't be the only Hitachiin populating summer school.

'Wait, Pipsqueak!' In the past, she's always managed to save our butts when it came to the occasional "missing" notes. With the obvious thought in mind, my curious eyes sweep over to Haru's immaculate notebook. All the while figuratively holding my clasping hands up towards the clear blue sky, desperately praying for a better outcome, then the previous one.

Sure enough, our ambiguous classmate is being extra thorough per her usual reliable behavior. Making an adorable earnest face as she carefully highlights the most important tidbits, with a blue florescent highlighter. I had to chuckle as the Honor student would almost become giddy, while reading certain entries. With a relieved sigh blowing across my lips, once again, I ease back in my chair. Knowing I'll snag her notes ether after class or before club. In any case, it will be away from our smug sensei's face.

.

Of course, I wouldn't escape completely unscathed. Knowing I would be faced with her usual lecture. Something along the lines of facing my responsibility, and paying closer attention in class. Perhaps she would be less likely to spout the same old blabby blah blah, if her mouth was stuffed with something "extra" tasty….Something we "all" know she's been craving.

.

With a rather amusing idea of escaping my impending fate I reach for my phone, ready to text one of the local hotspots, for an emergency delivery of fancy tuna. When my eyes unconsciously slide over to my twin's doodles. Noticing my distracted older brother off in his own little "world" as he thoughtlessly scrolls across his paper. Circle after circle ….yep, you guessed it, after circle.

Really Hika don't you have anything better to draw, say like, I don't know, maybe freaking fashion?! I was about to go back to my urgent order when …Hold on …he isn't mindlessly scribbling circles, he's entwining the circles, he's freaking drawing …HEARTS!'

Now that, was altogether a different matter…as I sadly shake my head. Knowing for some time now, my oblivious twin wasn't recognizing what his own subconscious was literally waving in front of him. Of course, the long held fact didn't escape my normally sharp perception. Knowing all too well …..My blunt twin has completely lost it. I sadly watch my brother mindlessly draw repeated hearts, making me wonder if my thick headed twin will ever catch a clue, to his own damn feelings for the studious brunette, sitting between us.

A depressing sigh silently blows pass my lips….because, I'm beginning to have my doubts. Tamaki, and the rest are quickly becoming aware….It's only a matter of time,

…Before someone steps forward.

My twisting stomach pulls my attention from my brother's doodles. Of course that isn't, anything compared to my excruciatingly deprived heart

…it's barely tolerable, each day.

Because unlike my oblivious twin I knew… I knew exactly who my thirsting heart desired for…

…and unfortunately, for me, it was the "same" adorable brunette sitting between us.

Thinking it was something I could simply pull away from, my hand unconsciously find my way to my pained chest. Feeling my struggling heart under the tips of my grasping fingers, I quickly turn my embarrassed head, checking to see if any curious eyes noticed my strange behavior. My hand depressingly slides off my chest, knowing all too well it's nothing I can "physically" grab…to stop. It's deep inside….. ever burning.

Because I tossed her away. My one true love, so my twin may have his.

Only for Hika, I would endure the relentless pain of unresolved true love ….but only for Hikaru. Not Tamaki nor Honey …No one else, just him.

With my silent sacrifice in mind I begin to burn my glaring eyes towards my oblivious brother, losing my patience ….which is saying something. I never lose my patience, I leave that to my emotional twin. Look at him, the blind dolt…If I don't get him to "realize" his true feeling and fast …then …..Shit … my sacrifice will be for nothing .The person we "both" love will end up with someone else…most likely to another fucking member.

Just thinking about it causes my own head to work against me. With hurtful images of a tearful Tamaki, confessing to the ambiguous brunet as massive, commercial jumbo jets rocket over the potential lovers' heads. I quickly shove the agonizing thought out of my creative head, before she "joyously" sprints into the Boss's awaiting open arms.

It's not like the haunting image is real. I mean, what kind of complete moron would confess right next to an active runway? It's like confessing right next to a working rollercoaster. You'd be shouting just to be heard, it's not the least bit romantic. The fact is, romantic or otherwise, Tamaki has yet to make his "after" graduation plans known…. And with the Suohs treating him like some kind of dirty outcast, I'd be surprised if he doesn't fly off, right after the arduous rite of passage

…taking the brunet with him.

With the impending end to our second year, well within sight, it's clear the time to idly stand by, watching my twin's subconscious clumsily fumble along, has ended….I need a plan, and a quick one at that. It's time for Hikaru to face his feelings, if anything is going to work, my oblivious brother has to come to grips with that, and now….. Or nothing will work.

If he can't do that…. then we've already lost the battle…. for Haruhi's heart.

First things first, I need to get Hika home, and skipping club, which wasn't going to be easy …since Haru became the newest member, it's becoming increasingly difficult to rip Hika away from it. At first, I think it was just mild curiosity, for the two of us. Her being a commoner and all, and the same age, no less. Hell, then there's the tiny fact that she simply didn't fall to our feet, the moment she was introduced to any of us.

.

Now Hika has become almost a devoted follower to the club….in a way we all have. Not towards the Boss mind you ,just the day to day on goings of the club .In our own way, the six of us have become just as crazy for the brunet as our devoted clients have become towards each of us .

Hell, if it's wasn't our club in the first place, I have no doubt any of us, Not Honey ,not Kyoya ,or me for that matter ,would have blinked twice overbooking the brunet's schedule . Speaking of the spectacle wearing third year, I probably shouldn't think too much about this. Seeing as I wasn't entirely sure, the Shadow Kings' menacing powers didn't spread into telepathy.

.

Like I said, convincing Hika to miss a day , all the while staying under the shadow Kings' radar was not going to be easy….in the slightest …And for anything to even start I needed Hika home, after school …but how? ….Karuizawa! Without even thinking, I enthusiastically snapped my fingers.

That is until I awkwardly noticed an entire classrooms pairs of eyes, well, except for my entranced twin, and the studious brunet, curiously burning in my direction. "Ahh, sorry." I uneasily wiggled my fingers, anxiously dropping my eyes to my practically empty notebook. Karuizawa, it worked before. I don't see why it wouldn't work now? I mean since were so close, not even the Shadow King would bat an eye to our unplanned absence.

.

Knowing what needs to be done I begin to skillfully enact the first steps …Starting with a single cough, like a tickle in my throat. Normally, that wouldn't do much, but in a classroom, filled with overly privileged heirs relentlessly pressured to outperform …well, everyone. I wasn't surprised my fellow germ phobic classmates weren't silently scooting their desks away from me….far away from me…. Like clear on the other side of the classroom.

I quickly glance over to my brother, seeing my first baby steps were a complete success, as I ripped Hikaru out of his heart drawing trance. I could hear several relieved sighs as I raised my hand to be excused. Even the nerdy lumberjack, looked relieved, he didn't put up much of a fuss, excusing me from class.

Now that I have the entire classroom's attention, I easily move on to phase two, slowly lifting from my chair. I purposely stagger, giving the appearance of being lightheaded. This in its self should cause my overly protective twin to practically loose his mind in unmitigated worry. I discreetly glance over to Hika, who's lost all the blood from his face, desperately clawing at the sides of his desk, ready to leap out of his chair to assist me.

.

On the very cusp of deciding whether to not just hurtle over his desk, but Haru's as well, to be at my side. He discreetly mouths the words, "Do you want me to go with you?" I begin to cough in the crook of my arm, shaking my head. Once I know Hika understands I stagger my way to the door, abruptly swinging it open before literally stumbling through it.

Once I've cleared the classroom, I leaned on the back of the door, I didn't dare peek in the small window, right next to me. I knew if I did I would see a pair of anxious golden eyes, that identically matched my own, and most likely they'll stay that way, until I return. I hated tricking my twin, since he's the worry wart between the two of us. I begrudgingly peel my slumped shoulders away from the door, pushing back the guilt, all the while reminding myself I was doing this for him.

.

A few minutes later …

.

Pained golden eyes stared back at me as I stand in front of a row of pristine kept sinks. My gazing eyes watch a small dribble of water slowly wander down my cheek, before lingering at my jaw. Until if finally falls into the empty restrooms' sink, joining several previous fallen drops.

Knowing what needed to be done to make my twin happy, and actually doing it ….well, that's all together another matter. Until now, I was merely an observer, who kept his cards close to his chest …But with what I was about to do… I suddenly drop my head, stubbornly splashing a burst of cold water across my face, quickly clearing it. With "only" Hika's future happiness in mind, I blindly reach for a paper towel, drying my face. With my resolve reaffirmed, I force a smile, before playfully lobbing the crumpled paper into the closest bin, as I exit from the room.

.

Much to my classmates disappointment I stumbled back to my seat. Which was difficult seeing as only two desks were even close to mine. During my visit to the boys' restroom, everyone else seemed to cram theirs on the other side of the room, including my smug lumber jack sensei. Leaving a clear path with no obstructions, however I still managed to "accidentally" bump into Haruhi's bag on my way back to my desk. "Oh, sorry Haru, excuse me." I politely mumbled, effectively grabbing her attention.

.

Haru's round chocolate eyes flashed up from her text book, concern shadowing her face. She carefully leans over, whispering into my ear. "Kao, are you feeling, all right?" All of sudden it was like a small explosion blew out of the top of my ginger head, unable to carry a single coherent thought, only dumbly nodding my head in agreement.

Hell, with Haru's innocent hot breath blowing across my ear I not only couldn't remember who I am, but for the awkward moment I couldn't remember, anything, even a rudimentary skill of verbal speech. Utterly loss, all I can do is awkwardly blink back at the brunet as I begin to shift uncomfortably in my seat.

Quickly noticing something somewhat firm, graze my inner thigh, my round stunned eyes drop down to my lap…uh, well that answers that question. As a bright pink blush is now painted across my entire face. Realizing I'm actually an embarrassed man, a stunned senseless, befuddled man. At this very moment having a slight embarrassing issue, smack dab in the middle of class, caused by a simple whisper …..But most definitely, a man.

"Kao?" The concerned brunette tugs at my sleeve, causing my radiated head to snap up.

I awkwardly clear my throat, "Uh, Haru, don't worry… about me." My strained voice cracked. With my momentary lapse of identity resolved, my spinning head crashes on to my desk, utterly exhausted. Now, it really did feel like I needed to go home….Inwardly cursing my body, being so easily …well ANYWAY, I decide to take a long moment to regain my composure, silently allowing my "issue" to settle itself .Protectively wrapping my tired arms around my head, as if I'm shielding myself from the rest of the world around me.

However, my desired rest came to a screeching halt with the short vibration in my pocket. My eyes cautiously glanced to the front of the class, seeing my bald sensei hidden behind our propped up text book. Meticulously preparing for the next lesson, right?

The entire class knew, as an unspoken rule, his monthly delivery of "Hooks and Poles" is carefully obscured by the preciously placed textbook. Leaving the class to do whatever they wanted, as long as the daydreaming lumberjack was left undisturbed, enjoying his printed centerfolds of flailing trout.

Resting my head back in my nestled arms, I blindly reach for my phone. "Kao, are you ok? Your, not looking so hot, little brother….. Hika."

Forcing back my damn unrelenting feelings my shaky fingers fumble with my reply. "Hika, I don't feel so well … I think I might be coming down with a cold, Kao." It was as if my body sensed what I was doing. Making it difficult to finally push the send button.

"Maybe we should skip club, and go home, after class? Unless, you can't wait ….Hika." After reading Hika's message a bittersweet smile slowly emerged on my lips ….It's done. Knowing I've taken the first successful step away from my own feelings, I wasn't surprised to suddenly feel my pained heart beneath my fingers.

After shoving the damaging thoughts out of my head my shaky fingers send my reply. "Hika, I think I can wait, until class is over, Kao."

"Are you sure? I'm already going to have to call our driver…it's not like we'd missing anything special. Well maybe our sensei having dirty thoughts…. about salmon, However I prefer not being a 'captive'3 audience for that."

Ignoring my inward struggles, I do my best to type my reply. "No, I'll be fine. You'll just have to suffer like the rest of us ...BTW thanks Hika."

"Ahh, spoil sport. LOL. No prob, lil bro. Take care of yourself, until then. Hika." I could barely read Hika's message with my emotional blurred eyes. Knowing I was making the right decision for my twin, I nestled my head between my cradled arms, allowing the silent tears to fall from my carefully obscured cheeks.

.

A little while later …

.

A warm gentle hand gives my shoulder a little nudge. "Hey, Kao, are you ready to go?' Hearing my twin I slowly raise a hand, rubbing my eyes as I lift my head. Giving my brother the impression, I simply fell asleep, not wiping away any residual evidence.

"Uh …yeah, Hika. I'm ready." I attempt to leave my seat but not before Haruhi places her tiny hand on my shoulder as she tries to lean closer, attempting to quietly say something to me. Realizing the brunet beauty is about to send me into another awkward spiral of blazing embarrassment I hastily jerk away from her hand.

Damn, I can't take much more of this! Swallowing hard, I abruptly pullback as far as my seat will allow. "Kaoru are you ok... You don't look so good?" Haru asks with concern. As I unintentionally loose myself into those deep, chocolate pools, my blood spikes, like some kind of conventional thermometer rising to the very extreme tip, ready to burst its top. Turing my ears bright red.

I quickly clear my throat, "Uh, yeah." before a few raspy words awkwardly tumble from my blithering lips. I hurriedly drop my attention to my desk, gathering my things. All the while effectively cutting off the awkward conversation.

As I'm gradually placing my things in my bag, I overhear Hika. "Hey Haru, could you pass on an um …message to the Boss? I'm taking Kao, home. He's not feeling well."

If I wouldn't have drawn too much attention, I would have slapped my forehead. Can he honestly, not hear that himself … he sounds so affectionate towards her …..? What an idiot.

"Ah, sure…. Hika." She drops her eyes to her fidgeting fingers, resting on her bag. "I uh, hope everything is okay." She nervously lifts a hand to her head, sliding her short hair behind her ear. My chest begins to burn. Is it my imagination or can I hear the same from her?

"Thanks, Haru." He playfully reaches out, nudging her elbow. "Hey, maybe after the club is done for the day, you could come over? I mean once I get Kao settled I could uh, really use your help." Hika Unconsciously bites his bottom lip, "You know for the …uh test?"

"Hikaru, you actually want to study?" Her wide chocolate eyes blink up at my brother, asking in an incredulous tone.

"Hey, don't look so stunned," My brother snaps back, towards the brunette beauty. "I wasn't able to write down many notes." He shrugs his shoulders, "Kaoru kind of distracted me….So say you'll come over and help a guy out? I'll make sure our chef makes you something reeeeally good, for dinner." He playfully teases, as his fingers linger on her bag, next to her hand.

After hearing my brother, I can't help but shake my head, what the f… sure, now he invites her over? That will ruin everything! Sorry Hika, you'll thank me for this later. I'm about to interrupt when the adorable brunet calls my dumfounded attention.

I notice Haruhi cutely tilt her adorable head, lifting her hand to her face, in a thoughtful manner. "Well, I was going to head to the supermarket, but since that one coupon doesn't expire for a few days, I guess I could push it back, another day." I couldn't help but chuckle to myself as she innocently considers blowing off the heir to the Hitachiin family, for a few paltry yen. Knowing any other girl would have jerked Hika off his feet, trailing red hot flames all the way to our limo.

"Really? Great, that would be so helpful. Well uh, I guess I'll see ya then." Hika swings his bag over his shoulder, heading for the door. "Come on Kao, let's get you in bed."

"Really Hika?" The brunet rolls her eyes, "You can't even stop when one of you are sick, now can you?"

"Why Haru, I don't have the slightest idea of what your referring to?" His lips turn up in a teasing smile.

All my planning…. ERR, now they decide to study together?! Since when does Hika want to study at all? I let out a cough and clear my throat, "Normally, I would love to invite Haruhi over, but…" Cough….cough… "Hika I don't think it's a very good idea. Haru might catch my cold, and that would cause her to miss school… she could always come over tomorrow, When I'm feeling better." Being sure to sniffle while speaking in a needy tone.

At that moment, Hikaru sent me such a look over Haru's head, if we weren't close… I could have sworn I was testing our brotherly bond. He waved a hand dismissively to the both of us, as he spoke. "Oh come on, Kao, I think she would be fine, as long as she stays out of our room, while you're resting. We can always study in the library or ….our playroom."

She innocently blinks up at my brother, "Playroom? Hika, aren't you a bit too old to have one of those?""No, why would you say that?" He shrugs his shoulders, leaning down, so he's now eye to eye with brunet beauty , "My toys only get more interesting the older I get." He raises a knowing eyebrow, seductively emphasizing on the word "toy."

"Oh, knock it off." She places a hand on my brother's suggestive face, pushing him away, "Don't you think you should be taking Kaoru, home?"

"Relax Haru, he's just referring to our game room. That's all." I hastily cover a snicker with an abrupt boisterous cough. "Please ….Excuse me."

"Oh, well that makes more sense, I couldn't help but picture you two riding around on hobby horses, and little toy race cars." She dryly adds.

"Well not the hobby horses, per se," Hika shakes his head. "That would be ridiculous. I don't think we ever had one of those. Haru, they don't even go anywhere, don't you just rock back in forth, that would be just sooo utterly boring. "

"Are you saying?" Haru begins to rub the side of her head.

"Well yeah sure, Kao, and I have several little cars," Hika tilts his head, trying to remember something, "Now, I couldn't tell you were they are at the moment, "Koa?" My perplexed twin gestures towards me.

"Hika, I believe you crashed yours into our great grandmother's statue."

"Really, are you sure that wasn't you?" Hika asked in an incredulous tone.

"No, Hika, after you managed to knock over our great grandmother, you then tried to jump mine over the koi pond." I too began to rub my temple, as this was taking far too long.

"Did I make it?" Hika proudly asks.

"No, you sank it." Shaking my head.

"Oh uh sorry Kao," Hika chuckles, shrugging his shoulders, "Well anyway, we even have a mini-train. Now I know, that's still around….for a while it was even connected to the kitchen."

"That's true," as I let out a small fake cough, "before you crashed, that too."

"How pray tell did I manage that something like that , it's on tracks?" Hika throws out his arms in front of him.

I awkwardly clear my throat, sharing a knowing look with my twin. "Hika, you don't remember taking out half the estate's staff with the spaghetti incident?"

"Oh, that. That, I do remember." Hika grimaces.

"Wait, what?" Haru curiously whips her head around, first glancing over to me, then to my daredevil twin.

Hika awkwardly clears his throat, crossing his arms at his chest. "Ah never mind, were legally bound by are family's lawyers not to mention it. Legally, Kao shouldn't have even brought it up, in the first place."

I let out a frustrated sigh, "Hika, you were the one who brought up the train."

"ANYWAY, Kao your running off the rails, we're just talking about Haru coming over to study ….Look, I'll still be around if you need me …. Come on little brother, I really could use her help." Hikaru tries to casually convince us both.

Haruhi shakes her head and slings her bag over her shoulder. "Sorry Hika, Kaoru's right, and I actually have some laundry I need to catch up on. Dad wore last year's Halloween costume to work, yesterday."

"Because he ran out of clothes? Haru, that doesn't sound like you?" I curiously turn towards the brunet, somewhat concerned.

"Well no," She shakes her head, before lifting her hand, awkwardly sliding her hair behind her ear, "Actually, the fewer items the more he finds…uh, things."

"Things, what kind of things?" Hika curiously asks, with a raised eyebrow.

"Well uh, for instance yesterday, He uh, found his, naughty version of little red riding hood, in the back of his closet."

Before even realizing it, Hika shivers at the thought, "Damn, where is it Ranka, works again?"

Haru ignores Hika, blowing out a sigh, "I normally could push it back a day, but- I've already caught him eyeing the leather clad dominatrix outfit." She lifts a hand, running it through her short pixie cut, "His tips are usually amazing that night. According to him you can't beat a pair of pleather thigh highs, and appropriate placed thong, but the strange men calling the house at all hours of the night, distract me from my studies."

"It's amazing you don't even blink when saying that." My brother stands dumfounded in front of the brunet.

"What?"

"Uh, never mind." Hika reaches up, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Look Hika, If Koa, is feeling better, tomorrow, I'll try to come over and help you then….I mean, if it's okay with you?"

Hika pouts, "But Haru, we have more rooms then even you could count… you couldn't possibly-"

Haru cuts my twin off, "Sorry Hika, not today. Look, I need to get going, or I'm going to be late, causing Kyoya-sempi to fine me, yet again." She begins to walk off, turning her head before the door. "Hey Kao, I hope you feel better." She innocently waves her hand. The next thing I know my hand is unconsciously next to my face, gingerly wiggling my fingers towards the brunet.

After Haruhi turns to leave for club, Hikaru sharply gives off a deathly glare in my direction, causing me to awkwardly pull my hand down, stopping my fingers, "Kaoru, what's your damn problem? You're always asking Haruhi to come over, I really needed her notes!"

Giving my twin the most pitiful face. "Sorry, Hika I didn't want her to get sick. She did say she would consider tomorrow, you can study her notes then."

Hikaru leans in and squints his eyes to study my face before jamming his hands in his pockets. Letting out another sigh. "Ah, that's ok, let's get you home. " Wrapping his arm around my shoulders as we both walk towards the car.

Turning my head to my brother with my mask held firmly in place to hide my mischievous plan. "Hey speaking of… may I see your notebook?" I wanted to get a closer look at those scribbled pages.

He pulls away his comforting arm as he glances over to me with a bored look on his face. But shrugs his shoulders before diving into his bag, searching through his messenger bag until he pulls out the blue notebook. "Sure, but like I said, I didn't take very many," Hika lets out a sigh, "I just couldn't concentrate, I guess I should have just used my phone."

Gripping the folded notebook tightly into my hands while I nod my head. "Yeah well, I guess that makes two of us," I lift the rolled notebook to Hika, tapping him on his chest. "It's probably more than I have, so ah thanks Hika."

Hika drops his eyes to his notebook, "Kao, what are you thanking me for? I already told you, I really needed Haru's notes, which means there isn't anything actually in there." He irritably pushes the notebook away from his chest, jamming his hands in his pants pockets. "Well come on Kao, let's go home." Watching Hika walk further down the hall, my feet stumble to stop as I curiously fan through the notebook,

Until I suddenly stop, gazing down with round stunned eyes.

"Then again, you might be surprised at what you actually find."

Snapping the notebook shut, with a wide knowing smile.

End of Kaoru's POV

End of Chapter 1

A/N So this story was going to be a one-shot but of course, since I absolutely love the twins, I let those two mischievous devils runaway with my mind …..And the story.
