# 1 ~ Spring Daydreaming

Kaoru sighed as he rested his chin upon his palm. It was Spring again- his mind was wandering, which was known to be a common symptom of Spring Fever. The previous snow of Winter had melted, and now the sun hung in the bright, clear sky, and the cool breeze that passed through the windows carried the scent of freshly bloomed flowers.

He was drifting off, unable to focus on what the teacher was saying. His thoughts turned to his family…or rather, his group of friends considered family.

The time before he and Hikaru had joined the Host club was like Winter; cold, silent, empty. In that Winter, only they existed, only they were important- to the twins, being together was all that mattered.

But things changed. Once they met Tamaki Suoh, the golden-haired prince of the Host Club, their winter began transforming into a strange, yet beautiful Spring.

And thinking about it, Kaoru smiled.

He much preferred Spring.
