…Tantalizing Things…

Morning…

It was the first part of the day that she continuously lined with hatred…

She didn't like the idea of wanting-or most likely, being forced to get up at an awfully early hour…

But it wasn't like she had no choice. Seemingly the Drama and Arts Academy, the one that the young woman was currently attending to, was going to hold a meeting at the prestigious Ouran Academy.

Specifically, the students with such high talents in her school that were lucky enough to get picked, were to have a joint meeting with the other school's Drama Club. And unfortunately for Kotomi, she was one of them.

And as usual,

She was indeed troubled.

At almost every morrow year, she winds up getting picked to attend the joint meeting with the other distinguishing people but that wasn't the reason why. The first time she attended it, the wealthy students of the opposite academy kept judging her outward appearance, and she hated it direly.

It wasn't her fault that she had an uncommon appearance but, having random piercings and a stud didn't mean she was weird. Neither does wearing unique-like flashy clothing, and having purple streaks in her dark raven hair.

But the banters and malicious talking wouldn't affect her in any way even if she didn't favor it, Kotomi would ignore them just for her two favorite childhood friends…

Kotomi's lips left a light groan as her personal servant woke her up without a doubt. She sat straight on her bed, with her hair in an all-out messy direction.

"Yes, Kotomi's up already…" Her tired blue eyes opened up boringly before staring at the man bowing down at her.

"The bath is already prepared, Ono-sama." The tall man stated with an expressionless face. "Please let the maids take care of your school attire."

"Alright then," She got up from her bed, the creaking sounds filling the quiet room. A few steps to her own bathroom, she opened the door. But before entering, she took a glance at the man who was watching her every move. "Try to smile once in a while or you'll get old." She heaved the door shut.

"…Ono-sama, as a servant, it isn't necessary for me to smile." He gave a low chuckle, and bowed at the closed door.

"Kotomi can't hear you~" The young woman cheekily said in a sing-sang voice.

ヽ(´Д｀)人(´Д｀)人(´Д｀)ノ〜

After a quick bath, she clothed herself in her school attire and added up some accessories to suit her own style. A pair of maids led her to the vanity mirror, as they began to dry and brush her hair before putting it into two high bunches, complimenting her alluring face.

A minute later, Kotomi ordered the maids to leave, leaving her to admire herself in the mirror. She stood up and was about to walk away when her eyes fell on a pair of thick rimmed bifocal glasses lying atop of her study table.

"Kotomi didn't see it…" She glanced at the door and continued to strode, evidently ignoring the said glasses. Kotomi was born with poor eye sight, inherited from her mother, although it didn't bother her in any circumstance as she saw it as nothing.

But truth be told, her disability improved her sense of hearing which was quite an advantage to her in a daring way.

Finally exiting from her room, a parallel line of maids greeted her arrival near the front door. She nodded before rushing to the black elegant vehicle.

"Let's go," The raven haired girl glanced at her personal servant.

"But Ono-sama, you still haven't eaten your early meal?" Rather than a question, it was more of a fact statement which in toll, hit her straight into the head.

"Kotomi will just eat at the academy…" She huffed out, blowing her disheveled bangs out of the way before glancing at the window beside her.

"As you wish…" Without any contradiction, the man started the engine and drove to a certain destination.

Upon arriving at Ouran Academy, Kotomi quickly rushed to the infamous host club with a smile on her face. She found this day amusing so far as she hadn't spot any person who may criticize her look at any moment.

As soon as the raven head saw the exact two-way doors, she pushed them open and hurried inside.

"Hikaru! Kaoru!" The said twins turned to the sudden intruder. The host club was still closed as it was too early and the two of them had just arrived to claim a little bit of "peace".

Not until Kotomi literally jumped on them…

"K-Kotomi?!"

"Kotomi?!"

The two red headed young men widened their eyes in surprised upon seeing their overly-rejoiced childhood friend.

"It's already been a year…" The young lady gave a mellow smile at the two.

"Kotomi…?" Hikaru called out her name.

"Yes?"

"What are you doing here?" Hikaru bluntly asked, getting up from the floor while reaching a hand at the girl to help her up. But unfortunately for him, Kotomi slapped it away.

"…Kotomi?" The other male asked worriedly, as a bead of sweat rolled down to his forehead.

"How…" She muttered silently as the other two kept glancing at each other back and forth. "How dare you forget that it's this time of the year! " She said while emphasizing the word "this".

Her blue eyes began to brim with blurriness before the tears started coming out one by one. Lifting her dainty hand, she covered her face out of the other's view.

The two red headed twins nearly believed her dramatic act when, a small white colored eye drop bottle hidden in her hand caught their eye.

The two smirked at each other, whilst nodding.

"Kotomi~" Kaoru called out her name.

"We didn't know you'd stoop to that low," Hikaru's lop-sided grin grew even wider when he saw the latter widening her eyes in disbelief.

"Eh? Kotomi was found out?" She huffed out while pouting. "Kotomi didn't know you were that smart, neh Hikaru~" She stood up from the tiled floor and walked over to the young man.

Hikaru's face quickly changed into a bashful color of red at her sudden compliment.

"Hikaru's cute~" Kotomi continued to tantalize him with her words.

'Two can play at that game,' The sapphire eyed said in his train of thoughts. "But aren't you the cute one, Kotomi?" He gently lifted up her chin with his long slim finger.

"E-Eh, t-that's not…t-true!" Kotomi tried to decline, even though she hid the fact that she was happy to hear his compliment. Although, her bright red face and her continuous stuttering was too obvious for the others accept her silly farce.

"Sure it isn't~" Hikaru shrugged with a playful grin on his lips, watching her brushing his finger off of her chin.

"Kotomi, want me to call you Kawaii-chan from now on…?" Kaoru joined in the banter, finding the girl's innocent reaction lovable.

"Kaoru!" The raven head pouted, balling her hands into fists behind the skirt of her uniform.

"Sorry Kawa-…Kotomi but, I find you cute as well...!" With that said, the poor young woman couldn't do more to stop her reddish face, almost losing consciousness by each banter they gave her.

"Kotomi swears, you two better-"

"Omi-chan~!" Unexpectedly, a blond haired young man jumped behind Kotomi's back and evidently surprised her.

"Honey-san! Mori-san!" Her blue eyes brightened at the sight of the male, and returned the hug. "Have you two been fine?"

"Mhm…" The tall man nodded his head.

"Yes~" Honey waved his arms around.

"And I guess you're still eating your sweets…?" She questioned.

"Of course I am! They're very delicious!" Honey responded. "Omi-chan, you can have a taste of my chocolate tart!" The blond tugged at her hand before the two headed off to the table.

"Ah…" Hikaru muttered into thin air.

"She left…" Kaoru contemplated. "Well, too bad for you then~" He patted his twin's back with a teasing expression plastered on his face.

"W-What do you mean?!" A tint of pink came creeping up his cheeks although, he still ignored it.

"Yes, yes~"

ヽ(´Д｀)人(´Д｀)人(´Д｀)ノ〜

After an hour of being fed to a table of assorted desserts, Kotomi finally had the liberty to say that she was too full to continue to eat. However, when her eyes unknowingly glanced at the Grandfather clock near the corner, she hastily stood up and ran towards the door in a panicked way.

"Kotomi needs to go!" She said, nearly choking on her own saliva. "Kotomi's late for the meeting!" As she exited through the door, the pitter-pattering of her shoes began to fade away from the other's hearing range.

"That was fast…" Kaoru said in amusement. "…Hikaru?" He glanced at his twin brother.

"What?" The other red haired male asked, with his usual deep voice.

"Look, over there." As curiosity took Hikaru in, the said person glanced to where his companion was pointing to. There at the large couch sat a small batchel, inattentively left by the raven haired girl who was in such haste.

"That idiot forgot her belongings," Hikaru minimized his voice for only him to hear. "I'll deal with it later…" He walked past the room and took a seat at the couch.

Fortunately or not, something caught his eye. A rim that was almost similar to glasses' was poking out of the batchel. Knowing his self, he pulled it out from the corner and nearly widened his eyes at what he discovered.

'K-Kotomi…wears b-bifocal glasses?' The sapphire eyed was debating whether to laugh or not, as mixed expressions were tumbling over him. Then out of the blue, he imagined Kotomi with her glasses on, making his pale cheeks brush over with a dashing color of red.

"Stop it!" He unknowingly shouted, making the others in the room turn their heads at him.

"Hikaru…?" Kaoru walked behind him with a raised brow. "What happened?"

"N-Nothing!" He stuttered, turning his head to the other side.

"If you say so," A bead of sweat rolled down Kaoru's neck as he continued to endlessly converse with Honey and Mori.

Hikaru sighed as he saw his brother retreating, then focused his eyes back to the batchel beside him, and evidently sighed again.

"Damn it, Kotomi…stop making it hard for me," His body slumped on the couch, a pout showing on his lips.

Thirty minutes more were needed to pass by for Kotomi to finish the joint meeting with the school's drama club, and Hikaru wondered what to do. Eventually, his eyes wandered back to the same pair of glasses. He cursed his self for letting curiosity taking over his mind again.

"…Gah!" Hikaru stood up angrily, and took the batchel from the couch before exiting the host club.

Walking through the long corridors, he took a left turn and stopped in front of a door that was identical to the Host Club's. Hikaru contemplated if he should just come back but much to his chagrin, his hand was already on the knob.

"Excuse me-" The door was nearly half-way opened when it was suddenly pushed back by force. The red haired man fell to the ground and groaned in irritation.

"Ah! S-Sorry! Kotomi didn't-"

"Kotomi…?"

"Hikaru?!" Her blue eyes sparked. "What are you doing here? Don't tell me, you already missed Kotomi that much?" She helped him up and giggled at his half-hearted laugh.

"You forgot this," He held out her batchel.

"Kotomi had a feeling that she forgot something…" She trailed off while taking the bag from his grip. "Thank you, Hikaru-chan~"

"Shut up." He dug his hands inside his pocket and lowered his head to hide his red painted cheeks. "By the way, Kotomi?"

"What?"

"You never told us that you wore bifocal glasses," Hikaru pointed out at the astonished girl.

"Ah…"

"Ah?"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…" Then the girl bawled out.

"W-What?! H-How did you-?!" The poor girl's face began to change its color to that of a blooming red rose. Kotomi was absolutely positive that she purposely left them laying down near her study table, unless 'someone' had put it in her batchel while she wasn't looking.

And Kotomi knew who that 'someone' was…

An hour later… ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ

Kotomi was in the vehicle on the way back to the manor. The incident from the academy ago was still fresh inside her mind. Although Hikaru promised her that he wouldn't tell anyone, she was still nervous about it.

"Ono-sama, is there something bothering you?" Her servant, who was driving the car, glanced at the rear-view mirror upon seeing the distorted look on the girl's face.

"…You were the one who put Kotomi's glasses inside the batchel, didn't you?" A frown formed on her lips.

"That was pay-back for Ono-sama calling me old…"

"Well, Kotomi's glad you did it." She smiled towards the rear-view mirror. Silence engulfed the two until a loud ring tone rang from the raven head's pocket.

"Ah, it's Hikaru…" She flipped open the phone and read the text message, then seconds before quickly closing it with red tinted cheeks.
