The twins took deep breaths, and smiled as the smell of salt in the sea breeze filled their noses. They glanced over their shoulders and could make out their parents and Tamaki still waving goodbye to them from the peer. They looked back in front of them and stared into the glowing horizon of the sun rise. They glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes, threw a fist into the air and cheered “Forward to adventure!”
They sailed for most of the day, only slowing briefly to eat the lunch they had already prepared. While some may think of sailing as work, the Hitachiin twins enjoyed having something to do, as well as having some alone time with each other. By late that afternoon the twins had already traveled a fair distance, which pleased them as it put their worries that much further behind them. And then by that night, Kaoru and Hikaru were both tired from the first day of their journey. Kaoru took a shower in the master bathroom while Hikaru took one on the other side of the yacht in the public bathroom, as both were eager to get to sleep.
Kaoru had already climbed into bed when he saw Hikaru walk out from the bathroom at the end of the hall. He rolled his eyes and giggled at the sight of his brother wearing only a towel wrapped around his head. Hikaru entered the room and took the towel off of his head and hung it on a nearby hook. He could feel his brother’s eyes on him, and could hear his snickering. “What’s going on Kaoru?”
“Nothing. It’s just…” Kaoru paused in thought.
Hikaru glanced his body over trying to figure out what his twin could possibly be laughing at. “It’s just what?”
Kaoru shook his head, “I’ve just never understood your preference for nudity.”
“Well maybe I don’t understand your preference for modesty.” Hikaru countered. “We’ve got the body, why not show it?”
“Exactly who are you showing our body off to?” Kaoru asked.
“Anyone that is intrigued. Which right now,” Hikaru grinned and followed his brother’s eyes, “is you.”
Kaoru grabbed a pillow and threw it at his brother. It bounced off of Hikaru’s face and onto the floor. “Stop goofing around.”
Hikaru mumbled, snatched the pillow up and crawled into bed. Kaoru rolled onto his side and reached a hand out, Hikaru did the same. Their fingers entwined together. “I’m glad we decided to do this.” Kaoru said.
“I’m glad too.” Hikaru replied. “I really needed a break away from everything.”
Kaoru nodded. “Tomorrow we can relax and take it easy.”
“Sounds good to me.” Hikaru said with a smile. He rolled and turned the light off and rolled back to face his brother. He gently squeezed his brother’s hand, who returned the squeeze. They then drifted off to sleep listening to the sound of each other’s breathing.
Hikaru awoke and stretched out across the bed, expecting to brush against his brother but when he didn’t his eyes popped open and he sat up right. “Kaoru?” Hikaru began to look around the bedroom. A pang of guilt struck him, as he thought that he had once more kicked his brother out of the bed.
But before Hikaru could work himself up into too much of a frenzy the bedroom door opened and in walked the younger twin dressed in a robe and carrying a tray of food. “Good morning Hikaru.”
Hikaru sat at the bed looking at his brother. “When did you get up?”
Kaoru smiled at his brother and put the tray on his brother’s lap. “I just woke up a few minutes ago. You were sleeping like a log so I figured I’d cook us breakfast.”
The tray had a small vase with an orange rose and a blue rose in it. Next to it were two champagne glasses filled with mimosa and a plate of eggs benedict, complete with paprika and chive garnish. Hikaru raised an eyebrow, “Just a few minutes, huh?”
A giggle escaped Kaoru’s lips. “Ok you caught me.” Kaoru walked around the bed and climbed onto the bed next to his brother. He picked up one of the glasses, “To my brother, may he always rest so peacefully.”
Hikaru picked up his glass and wrapped his arm around his brother’s, “To my brother, may he always be so charming.” The brothers exchanged smiles and then took a drink.
“I’m starved. Let’s eat.” Kaoru said as he untangled his arm from his brother’s and began to dig in.
The sun shone down from the clear blue sky and onto the twins when they walked on deck. They stretched and instantly felt the sun’s warmth on their skin. They sighed with relief as they could already feel their old worries and cares begin to slip away. With towels in their arms, they walked to the bow of the ship, laid their towels down, followed by themselves. They lay there, basking in the sun for some time listening to the music blaring over the sound system and making sure to turn over whenever they felt too hot because there are few things that look worse on a host than peeling skin.
Kaoru was on the verge of falling asleep in the warm glow of the sun until he felt a decrease in temperature and light. Without even opening his eyes Kaoru knew his brother was standing over him. Kaoru issued a warning, “Hikaru, if I go in, you are coming with me.” His brother either didn’t listen or didn’t care, but Kaoru had already known what was coming, and had accepted it. The threat had been nothing but a simple formality between them. Once Hikaru picked him up he began to playfully fight against his brother, both of them laughing the whole time. When they got to the railing Kaoru warned his brother one more time but once again it did no good. Next thing Kaoru knew he was flying through the air and splashing in the water. When he surfaced he was coughing out seawater but was laughing nonetheless.
Hikaru looked down at his brother, “Watch out Kaoru! Here I come!” Hikaru dove into the water next to his brother. When he resurfaced he got a face full of water, complements of a splash from his brother. The twin brothers started to splash each other back and forth, which quickly escalated to dunking each other which eventually ended on borderline drowning.
The brothers swam to the stern of the yacht and climbed back on board, gasping for the air that they had been denying each another. They collapsed on the swimming platform and stared into the sky. With clouds floating by overhead, Hikaru reached his arm out and found his brother’s hand and entwined their fingers. “That was fun.”
Kaoru coughed, “yeah, though the fish I think I swallowed might disagree.”
Hikaru chuckled for a brief moment then stopped. “Do you hear that?”
Kaoru sat up, as he recognized the sound that his brother had heard. “I think it’s the satellite phone.”
“Who’d be calling us?” Hikaru asked.
Kaoru looked at his brother and they both frowned and said, “The Boss.” They stood up and reluctantly made their way to where they had left the phone. They answered it on speaker phone so neither one would have to bare the conversation alone, “Hello?”
“Good afternoon twins, I hope the seas are treating you kindly.” Came the chipper voice of their Host Club leader.
The twins in response made the akenbe gesture before regaining their composure. “Like sailing across a mirror.” Kaoru said.
“What’s up boss?” Hikaru asked.
“We’ve been friends for a few years now. Can’t I just call you without a reason?” Tamaki asked.
“Nope. Not when you call us.” Hikaru answered.
“You only call us when you need something only we have.” Kaoru explained.
Silence came from the phone. It took a moment but the twins realized that it wasn’t completely silent as they could hear Tamaki mumbling something, but at the same time it sounded as if he was away from the phone as well.
“Uh…boss?” The twins asked in unison.
Tamaki’s voice burst from the phone with enthusiasm. “Right, well jokes on you. I did just call to talk…”
The twins groaned. They had wished it was just a simple request that they could simply ignore.
Thirty minutes later the twins rubbed sleep from their eyes and drool from their chins as they hung the phone up. “I thought he was never going to shut up.” Hikaru said standing up from his chair and stretching.
“I know.” Kaoru agreed. “But I don’t think he should have threatened us like he did before he hung up.”
Hikaru looked at his brother, “But all he said was that he would call tomorrow.”
“Exactly.” Kaoru said with a grin.
And so a week passed in a similar way. In the mornings after a light breakfast the twins would busily set sail across the ocean.
Hikaru looked over at his brother at the helm and saw the large smile on his face. The older twin reached for a small blue bag next to him and pulled a digital camera out of it. Once he found his brother in the view finder however he found himself staring at him instead of taking the picture. It was only when a stronger gust of wind blew through that Hikaru remembered what he was doing and snapped a picture of his brother.
Then in the afternoon the twins would change into their swimming shorts and spend the afternoon swimming and sunbathing.
“Forget it Hikaru.” Kaoru snarled at his brother.
“Come on Kaoru, why not? Are you chicken? Baaaawk.” Hikaru teased.
“I said I’m not going to do it Hikaru. I wished you’d just listen to me for once.” Kaoru argued back.
“I don’t understand why you won’t. It’s exhilarating and freeing.” Hikaru reasoned further.
“Maybe for you Hikaru, but for me it’s not.” Kaoru said.
“Come on Mr. Modest, there’s no one around for miles. No one is going to see you so you’re not going to get in trouble. And if it’s me you are all worried about, it’s not something I haven’t seen before and can’t look down and see on myself right now.”
Kaoru’s cheeks began to redden and he turned his back to his brother. He scanned the horizon and didn’t see anything but the vast ocean. After a brief moment of silence between them Kaoru spoke again, “Just promise you won’t look.”
Hikaru grinned, even after years of trying his brother still couldn’t resist him. “Just do it already.”
Kaoru took a deep breath, put his fingers into his waist band and pushed his swimming shorts down to his ankles and then stepped out of them. A few seconds later a splash came from the other side of the ship, yet Hikaru didn’t need to turn his head to see where his brother had entered. His grin grew larger as he ran to join his brother in the water.
This fun time was then interrupted by a call from Tamaki who ‘just wanted to chat’. Every day the call would last longer and longer. By the third call the twins had split the task into 10 minute shifts, by the seventh day when the calls lasted over an hour the twins would just walk away and go back to whatever they were doing, while Tamaki kept talking. After Tamaki’s chat the twins would finish their days with a nice dinner and unwind with a movie and a drink.
Kaoru groaned as he rubbed his eyes. “Hikaru, how am I supposed to cook us dinner if you keep blinding me with that camera?”
Hikaru walked over and nestled his head against his brother’s shoulder. “Sorry Kaoru. I’ll stop.” Hikaru then gave a slight jump as he felt a hot item placed against his lips.
“Taste this and tell me if it’s missing anything.” Kaoru said.
Hikaru opened his mouth and let his brother feed him the taste of the sauce. He let a slight moan that vibrated his brother’s neck and sent a shiver through his body. “Taste’s great Kaoru. Anything I could help with?”
“You could have asked earlier Hikaru. The pasta is about done, the salad is dressed, and the bread has already been cut.” Kaoru answered.
“Yeah, but then I would have had to actually done something.” Hikaru replied.
Kaoru giggled moving away from his brother. “Just go sit down Hikaru but if I see that flash one more time tonight I’m throwing that camera overboard.”
After dinner the twins relaxed on the couch, with Kaoru laying across it and resting his head on his brother’s lap as they watched one of their favorite movies, each with a full glass of wine in order to polish off the bottle of wine they had opened with dinner. Half way through the movie however, Hikaru noticed that his brother was fast asleep. Hikaru’s attention turned from the movie to his brother, a string of ideas ran through his head of things that he could do to his brother, and settled on one. He gently pulled the camera from his pocket and took a picture of him sleeping. It was while trying to put the camera back into his pocket that Hikaru’s movements made the younger twin squirm. “Hikaru?”
“Why don’t you go to bed Kaoru, I’ll tidy up the kitchen.” Hikaru offered.
Kaoru gave his brother a smile, “Nice try to earn points Hikaru, but it’s your turn for dishes anyways.” Kaoru yawned out a small laugh as he sat up. “I will head to bed though.”
Hikaru watched as his brother stood up and walked to their bedroom. He then made his own way into the kitchen to clean it as he said he would. After he was done in the kitchen Hikaru made his way to the bedroom, he opened the door slowly so not to wake his brother in case he was already asleep. He was glad that he did because his brother was fast asleep on the top of the bed. Hikaru stared at his brother before reaching into his pocket once more for his camera. He pulled the camera out, and as he took the first picture a bright flash of light came from the camera. Hikaru froze as he saw his brother shift around in the bed momentarily. He then gave a sigh of relief once he noticed his brother’s breathing return back to its normal sleeping pattern. While Hikaru knew he should take a shower and join his brother in sleep, the urge to take another picture was too over whelming. This time, he remembered to turn off the flash, but he soon found out the room was too dark for a clear picture. He watched his brother take few more breaths, just to make sure he was still asleep before turning the flash on once more. After the second picture, Kaoru shifted in the bed once more. Hikaru watched once more as his brother’s breathing returned back to his normal sleeping pattern, and raised the camera for yet another picture. Yet this time he paused, this time just content to stare at his little brother sprawled out on the bed. He smiled. That is until he noticed the smile on his brother’s lips.
Kaoru began to laugh “I don’t know whether to be flattered or creped out by you taking pictures of me sleeping.”
Hikaru couldn’t hide the fact that his cheeks began to redden. He had been caught, while he had thought he had been sneaky, he had only been playing his brother’s game all along.
“Hurry up and go take a shower. I’m tired and want to go to sleep.” Kaoru said rolling over onto his side.
It was during the 9^th day of the trip and into the third hour of the ‘conversation’ that Tamaki’s motives came to light. The twins had opened up one of their parent’s old bottles of whiskey to help take the edge off of their conversation. While it helped dull their senses some, the twins were still on the verge of pulling their hair out; instead of choosing sudden baldness they angrily asked Tamaki, “Isn’t there someone else you can slowly drive to suicide?”
Tamaki paused for a moment before saying, “Well actually…now that I’ve established our friendship by just calling to chat...can I ask you two a favor?” The twins looked at each other. It had all just been a ploy for him to get something. The twins were known for their devious tactics to get what they wanted but they would never stoop so low as to torture someone as they had been.
“What!?!” The twins growled as they clutched the phone between their hands, taking their aggression out on the device that had subjected them to such cruel and unusual punishment.
“I haven’t heard from Haruhi for over a week now. And I just need to know if my darling little daughter is okay.”
“So why don’t you just call her?” Kaoru asked.
“Yeah, she still has the phone we gave her last year.” Hikaru pointed out. “even though we tried to get her a new one.”
“She said that it still worked and that’s all that mattered.” Kaoru added, “I just don’t understand her sometimes.”
“She won’t answer the phone.” Tamaki pouted.
The twins exchanged a looked with a tinge of jealousy, before Hikaru offered the advice of, “Why not go and see her then?”
“She hasn’t been home. She’s staying wherever she is working. I begged her father to tell me where she was, but all he did was slam the door in my face.”
The twins sat the phone down on the table and smirked at the image of a door smashing into Tamaki’s face. “Then just have Kyoya run a trace on her phone.” Kaoru said rubbing the bridge of his nose.
“Don’t you think I haven’t done that!?” Tamaki shouted into the phone. “I think she turned her phone off, even though I told her that all Host Club members must be contactable at all times in case of a Host Club emergency.”
The twins threw their arms into the air and shrugged their shoulders. “We don’t know what to tell you then boss. She didn’t tell us where she was going.”
“WHAT!?!?!?!” Tamaki shouted, causing the phone to jump on the table.
“Yeah, she was scared we’d tell you where she was so she didn’t tell us.” Kaoru said.
“And to think I spent all that time calling you two this past week! You guys should have told me that you didn’t know where she was in the beginning!”
“Thanks for caring lordship.” The twins said, “Gotta go.” They hung the phone up; all the lights on the phone went off.
“I don’t believe it.” Kaoru said looking at the phone.
“Don’t believe what?” Hikaru asked. “That Tamaki hasn’t found Haruhi yet, or that a week of torture was in vain.”
“Neither…He actually killed the satellite phone.” Kaoru said.
Hikaru gestured to the plug in, “Well plug it in. Hopefully that will do the trick.”
Kaoru walked to the kitchen where the charger for the phone was. He plugged the phone in, it beeped twice then the screen flickered on. Kaoru gave his brother the thumbs up, “We’re good.”
Hikaru stretched and yawned. “Well I don’t know about you. But I’m tired. Tamaki can be a psychic vampire even from hundreds of miles away.”
Kaoru nodded and joined his brother in preparing for bed. After their showers the two boys crawled into their bed.
“Where do you think Haruhi is?” asked Hikaru.
Kaoru shrugged. “I don’t know but I envy her. She’s successfully evaded Tamaki for over a week now. We’re in the middle of the ocean, hundreds of miles away and we still can’t get away from him.”
Hikaru nodded. “I’m half surprised that we haven’t seen his or Kyoya’s yacht on the horizon, or heard their plane in the sky.”
“Don’t give me nightmares Hikaru.” Kaoru said giving his brother a playful shove.
“I’m sorry.” Hikaru said as he scooted closer to his brother. He took his brother’s hand in his, “I’d hate to jinx it and have to share you with someone.”
Kaoru felt his cheeks heat up and knew it wasn’t just from the liquor. Lately whenever his brother spoke to him as such outside of the Host Club he couldn’t help but react like he did. He tried to turn his head away but was stopped when Hikaru’s other hand placed itself on his jaw. The hand tilted his head back to face his brother.
“Has anyone ever told you that you’re cute when you blush?” Hikaru said with a smile.
The redness in Kaoru’s cheeks spread to the rest of his face. He jerked his brother’s hand away and hid his face in his pillow, but he could still feel his brother’s eyes on him. Kaoru’s body still felt hot and suddenly felt as if something was fluttering inside of him. Even after a few minutes he was still flushed, but didn’t want to show his brother, so Kaoru rolled facing away from his brother, “Good night Hikaru.” Kaoru then turned the lights off.
Kaoru laid in the dark waiting for his heart to stop racing. After a half hour of calming breathing and trying to rationalize the sudden change in his emotions, Kaoru felt relatively normal once again. It was at this moment that he noticed that his brother wasn’t asleep. Although it was dark and he had his back to his brother, Kaoru knew that Hikaru was staring at him. But something about the feeling was different than how he was looking at him earlier, or how he looked at him any other time. No, this stare had an air of pain and disappointment in it. Kaoru turned over and faced his brother, knowing that Hikaru would continue to pout until he got his way. Kaoru reached out his hand and found his brother’s hand which was curled into a fist. Kaoru wormed a finger into the fist followed by another finger, and another. Soon Kaoru’s hand was inside of Hikaru’s. As it should be. “Good night Hikaru. Love you.”
There was a pause for a few seconds before Hikaru softly responded back, “I love you too Kaoru.”
Kaoru stayed awake until he heard his brother’s breathing pattern change, signaling that he had finally fallen asleep. “Thanks for the great trip so far Hikaru.” Kaoru whispered before letting the sandman take him to sleep as well.
Little did the twins know that it wasn’t just Kaoru that had heated up that night, as a frayed wire in the kitchen had been heating up since it had been tasked to recharge the satellite phone. After hours of smoldering the wire had successfully created a small flame that began to expand through the kitchen.
