Hikaru has his hair dyed brown in this chapter, and Kaoru's hair is much longer. Think of that one manga page where it showed what they would look like in their "college years" with their sister Ageha. THEY are also at least 19 or 20 in this chapter. APOLOGIES IF THEY ARE OOC. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I DID ISAMI'S CHARACTER. And, I didn't even realize it until Cyan Rubies pointed it out that the song fit them PERFECTLY. It's kinda creepy how well it goes with them, actually. SO, I decided to dedicate this chapter to Cyan Rubies for being a genius and pointing it out.
I wait until I am within your sight, Then I will flirt with the other girls, Oh No, No, No
It's not that I do not care about you, You're just so cute when you're jealous for me Oh Yes, Yes, Yes
My darling Please, Listen to me, My darling Please, Please stay happy
And through all the hardships ahead, our love will burn stronger than ever
That is how we are it's our love style, It is right for us a true love style
I need you, I want you, Forever
This is how we are it's our Love Style, It's a love style that will never fail
You are mine, I am yours, Forever Only you, love you
Maybe just maybe I pushed you too far, I didn't think it'd upset you this much, Oh No, No, No
Please will you please let me make it all right, I'll hold you close and we'll never fight, Oh Yes, Yes, Yes
My darling Please, Do not leave me, My darling Please, I would miss you
If you could say you love me, the pain would never strike me again
That is how we are it's our love style, It is right for us a true love style
I need you, I want you, Forever
This is how we are it's our Love Style, It's a love style that will never fail
You are mine, I am yours, Forever Only you, love you
COLLEGE YEARS
Isami held her books close to her chest, looking around for Hikaru and Kaoru. She caught them walking with a tall blonde that had brown eyes. She grinned at the sight of them, that feeling of excitement bubbling up in her stomach at the sight of her boys. Hikaru and Kaoru caught sight of her and grinned, saying something to the blonde that caused a her cheeks to turn red. Isami felt her chest tighten up, frowning, at the sight of the flirting. So...They really didn't love her?
I should've known...No way anyone would be able to like someone like me. I'm not like Haruhi, or Renge, or even Mai... She looked up at the blonde with slightly teary eyes and uncertainly reached a hand up to her own hair, which was in a side-tail that dangled off of her left shoulder. Maybe they prefer blondes... She thought of dying her hair for a brief moment before shaking her head quietly, pained and jealous. I'd look terrible as one...They hate me, don't they? She swallowed and bit her lip, clutching her books tightly before decided to just head back to their apartment by herself.
The twins stopped flirting immediately when they saw Isami's retreating form. They knew she was jealous instantly, and they had to admit that they found it adorable, but then they saw the slight shaking of her shoulders they knew they took it too far. The blonde looked up at them confused, not understanding their actions.
"Hikaru, Kaoru, what's wrong?" She followed their gaze and looked at Isami, watching as she faded from view. "Do you know her? Is she your sister or something?"
Hikaru answered, bracing himself to take off after the brunette, "She's our girlfriend."
"Which means we try to make her jealous."
"I'd say it worked."
"But now she has the wrong idea," Kaoru started, sighing as he shoved his hands into his jean pockets. The girl's eyes widened in alarm.
"Wait, what? Girlfriend? Who is she dating? You or him?" They looked at her and answered seriously,
"Both." The girl's brain practically exploded at the new information.
...
Isami fiddled with her yellow dress, attempting to get ready for her date with Hikaru and Kaoru. That's if they even want to continue dating me... She frowned and took a deep breathe, digging her nails into her palms. She swallowed, debating on if she should wear makeup or not. Her dress was strapless, with a pair of strings that reached up and wrapped around her neck. She wore black see-through leggings, the dress flaring out at the waist and stopping at her knees. On her ring fingers, on both hands, you could see two gold rings, identical in all but the stone colors. The ring was simple, as the gold wrapped around her finger and had a medium-sized stone on top, but was beautiful. The ring on her left hand had a sapphire stone, while the right ring had an orange Topaz.
Yes, in terms that everyone can understand, they were engaged. And no, she was not completely innocent. She quickly put her hair up in a small, messy but stylish bun and let a few stands of hair fall into her face. Her hair had grown longer over the years and now stopped just below her butt. Earrings lined her left ear in silver studs, her side-bangs framing her face. She frowned and crossed her arms, not liking how she looked. She gained a little more color over the years and a slight figure, but she was still hopeless when it came to being compared to other girls.
Not to mention that they apparently prefer blondes. She bit her lip, feeling the tears start to prick her eyes, and pressed her legs close together. Why do I always do something to make them start to flirt with other girls? Do they really not like me? Unconsciously, she started to fiddle with her engagement rings. Why aren't they back yet? Bad thoughts started to enter her head and she flinched, not liking the thoughts that started to form.
She heard the apartment door opening and she turned her head to look at Hikaru and Kaoru.
"We're back!" She heard them call in unison. That seemed to be a habit that they were unable to break.
"I'm in the bedroom!" She called to them, raising her voice. She shook her head, trying to hide how hurt she was feeling, and entered the living, walking towards the kitchen. "What is it this time?" She asked, trying to sound annoyed, but giving a slightly bitter laugh. She flinched when she noticed. She barely had time to question why there was a vase of flowers on the table before she found herself pushed up against the kitchen wall, Hikaru ravaging her mouth. Her wrists were pinned to her side and Hikaru was pressed against her, not leaving any space to separate them.
It seemed like ages before he pulled away and attacked her neck, Isami completely breathless and surprised. He hit a soft spot and she let out a small moan, and gasped when he bit down. "Hi-Hikaru, hey-" Hikaru quickly moved out of the way as Kaoru appeared, grabbing Isami's arm and pulling her into his chest, smashing his lips against hers. He parted her lips to deepen the kiss and managed to take full control, the girl still breathless from Hikaru's kisses. Giving up on figuring out on what was going on, she kissed back-albeit confused at the feelings they were portraying. The mixed feelings were confusing her and she didn't really know what to do or how to respond. She felt his tongue rasp over her own and she felt a moan rumble its way up her throat. She felt Hikaru press himself against her back and start to kiss her neck, his hands trailing down her sides.
A shiver passed through as his breathe breezed against her skin. She pulled back from Kaoru to catch some air, panting. Quickly wrapping an arm around Hikaru's shoulders and pressing her free hand against Kaoru's chest, she breathed out, "You guys...What was-What was that about?"
Suddenly having a flashback to a few years ago back in Karuizawa, she found herself against another wall with Hikaru and Kaoru hovering over her.
"Isami..." Kaoru began, his amber eyes gazing at her intently. "You know we only do it to make you jealous."
Hikaru nodded, "Let's be honest here. You're cute when you're jealous." Her face flared red at that and her mouth opened to reply, only to close and open it and close it again, unable to speak. What? "How could we not flirt with other girls when you start to do that adorable pout?"
"What pout?" Isami exclaimed, not sure if she should be offended or not. Is he insulting or complimenting her?
Kaoru grinned at her, eyes flashing mischievously, "That pout."
"I'm not pouting!"
"Yes, you are." Hikaru fired back, smirking. He leaned in to the point where his nose was touching her cheek and his breathe brushed against her skin, "And I'm finding it hard to control myself..."
Her heart started to pace frantically at the suggestion and her face turned beat red. Kaoru broke out into a pout-y smile.
"Hikaru~!" He complained, grinning as he leaned in closer to Isami, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling into him, "You got her last time! I want a turn!"
Sometimes she wondered how it went from "Kissing Isami senseless" to "Figuring out whose turn it was next".
She finally decided to ask, "What's up with the vase and flowers?" She felt herself suppress a shudder at the rumble that vibrated from Kaoru's chest.
"An apology," He told her as he chuckled. "We told you; We flirt 'cause your reactions are cute."
Hikaru raised his hands up in a shrug before crossing his arms, "Yeah. Stop being so cute and we might stop flirting. Your fault entirely."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean!?" She demanded, acting offended. She pushed her self out of Kaoru's arms and then grabbed his hand, heading towards their bedroom. Over the years, Isami grew a small backbone. "Fine! C'mon Kaoru, the date is cancelled. Hikaru gets to sleep on the couch tonight!"
Hikaru's eyes widened drastically, alarmed. He quickly grew an apologetic face and raised his hands up, "Wait! No! Come on, Isami, you know I didn't mean it! I was joking!"
"What, so I'm not cute after all?" She asked rudely, pushing Kaoru into the bedroom. He started to walk towards her, trying to explain.
"You know that's not what I meant-look! I bought flowers! And a vase! As an apology! And-and chocolate, see!?" He quickly reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a box of Pocky. Isami paused at the sight of it, before deciding she could steal it from him tomorrow or just make Kaoru buy her some and entered the bedroom, slamming the door shut and locking it. She ignored his pounding on the door and sighed.
Then she kicked her shoes off and ran towards the bed, jumping in the air, and flopping onto it. She groaned, "Ugh...I would make a comment about twins, but I'm dating you two and I'm a twin myself," She told Kaoru as she rolled onto her back. He chuckled at her before pulling off his jacket and climbing onto the bed on top of her.
"That's Hikaru for you," He told, causing her to smile and sit up slightly, kissing him softly.
"Hey! Let me in! Kaoru! Isami! Come on! I didn't mean it!" Hikaru cried indignantly.
