A/N: Hello~ Here I publish one of my drabbles, this time for Ouran~ As always, I hope you to forgive me (and correct me, if you want) if I let pass some grammar mistake. English is not my native language.

OBSERVANT

Hikaru was not the observant type. No, he was not. However, there were certain things that even someone like him would notice.

The first sign was the game Which one is Hikaru-kun? He and Kaoru had discovered then that Haruhi could distinguish them. Why? That one-san, the first love he and his brother had ever had, said that no one could... She had smiled at them, showing some warmth for the first time, before telling them that, perhaps, no one would ever be able to tell them apart. They had believed her, because they liked that one-san. They had believed her... and they had let that "perhaps" die every time someone failed when playing Which one is Hikaru-kun?

When Haruhi won, he had felt firsthand Kaoru's stupor, because it mirrored his own. And most importantly, he had felt the emotion behind that stupor, the slight tremor that happens when the heart gallops.

The second sign was the closeness that developed between Haruhi and them. He was interested in that new toy and Kaoru had followed him without saying a word, as if he had been feeling the same. However, when Haruhi stopped being a toy to become a friend, Kaoru continued following him without a word.

There was not any 'be careful, you could fall in love'. Nothing.

The third signal had come with the guy called Arai. Hikaru could not remember any other time in which he had been so jealous. As an angry child, he wanted to mark his territory, but he had finished getting slapped. However, at the end Kaoru had saved the situation. Somehow, he had managed to make Haruhi and Hikaru stay on good terms. Still, Hikaru had not forgotten his words when he said he had acted like he did because he was jealous and angry.

"Me too."

Hikaru turned to face him in the bed they shared. He was sleeping, and that made Hikaru think that yes, their relationship was intimate. They could act as a couple, but the bond between them was way more special than that. They were brothers, two beings who turned one in thought and feeling. That was a very strong bond.

But so strong that Kaoru had to...?

Haruhi's determined face when they were trying to make the Lord, Suoh Tamaki, cancel his travel to France came to his head in a flash. Even while he was injured, she had run to the carriage and had pursued the Lord. So, why did Kaoru...?

Could it be... that he also had feelings for Haruhi?

Could it be that he postponed himself because Hikaru also liked Haruhi?

How would all that mess end?...

His blood ran cold.

"Someone will end up crying," he whispered, while watching his twin and wondering who that someone would be.

Kaoru shifted between the sheets before opening his eyes and gave him a sleepy hug, which Hikaru did not hesitate to reciprocate. A new day was beginning, as always, and Hikaru did not want his brother to look him in the eye and find there the terror that had caused him his last thoughts. He did not want his brother to see through him, as he had been doing all along. Unlike him, Kaoru was too observant.

And that was dangerous. Very dangerous.

I've been thinking about a story and, if you enjoy reading fics of Ouran High School, I would like you to check my profile, where I've shared the plot of the story that came to my mind. There's a poll and, depending on that, I'll start writing and translating~

Thanks for reading!
