DISCLAIMER: Ouran High School Host Clubis not from my imagination, unfortunately ... or fortunately ... still debating that. Grin This is a work of fandom.
"Hikaru …!"
'Shhh, Kaoru. I'll take care of you."
Sometimes he wondered when they had left childhood behind to be replaced by this strange echo of sensation. Twining fingers in the hallways, playing games to arouse the girls at the Host Club, teasing Haruhi and the rest with things no one really believed … even if they really ought to.
They'd always been encouraged to be together by their families, "Aren't they beautiful? So affectionate to one another! So naughty!"
Until Haruhi had come to liven up their lives, they'd been happy just to be like this, wrapped in one another, caught up in their own sensual world. How strange that it had been Haruhi noticing their differences that had somehow brought them closer, made the comfort and absorption turn to passion and obsession. Now they searched each other for differences, mapping each other's bodies with delicate fingers as they sought to elicit a response that the other would not give, or find a freckle the other did not have.
The girls in the Host Club seemed to have noticed the difference, how what had been playful before had become more serious. Hikaru's hand would linger on Kaoru's shoulder, or Koaru's hand would slide over his brother's hand … where once they had laughingly fallen into one another arms or spoke in whispering, husky voices, now they were constantly touching, always meeting one another's eyes, and forever falling into their own world, going further and further away from the Host Club until Kyoya would snap or Tamaki would cajole and their attention would be recalled.
Honey-sempai had smiled at them in a weirdly knowing way the other day, but they had only smiled back, their expressions opaque. Even if Honey and Mori were similar in affection, they had little on Kaoru and Hikaru for passion.
So here they were, tangled limbs and panting breath, eyes glazed with recent exertions, and Kaoru smiled, tucking a lock of Hikaru's hair behind a familiarly shaped ear. Someday they might decide to play with someone else … like Haruhi, perhaps, but for now, it was enough to be together.
