My Choice

Chapter 22

Haruhi let out a content sigh of happiness as she flopped down on the large king bed. Tamaki really outdid himself for this mini vacation…

Tamaki had made reservations for the group to stay in a four bedroom suite at a very high-end, expensive hotel. Haruhi was the only one with her own bedroom. The others were paired in twos, and it wasn't difficult to figure out who would be sharing rooms. The twins had their own room, then there was Honey and Mori sharing, and Kyoya and Tamaki would be sharing a room which just happened to be right next to Haruhi's.

Haruhi rolled over in the large bed, looking out the large window that had such a beautiful view. Brown eyes were trained on the window, taking in the blue sky and the green trees and the little black birds that would fly by occasionally, so when the door opened and closed quietly, Haruhi didn't hear it.

Hikaru had snuck into Haruhi's room, a smirk playing on his lips as he took in the sight of his oblivious girlfriend. He quietly stalked towards the bed, trying his hardest to suppress his laughter. Just as Haruhi rolled over onto her back, Hikaru jumped onto the bed, pinning her wrists above her head with one hand and attacking her stomach with the other.

Haruhi shrieked and began thrashing as the tickling sensation erupted in her stomach. "Hikaru!" Haruhi kicked her feet, laughing, trying to get Hikaru off her.

Laughter fell from Hikaru's mouth as he continued his relentless assault on the girl below him. He pulled his fingers away from Haruhi's stomach, a warm smile played on his lips as he looked down at her. Her face was flushed and bright with happiness, the emotion casting a beautiful glow on her face. Hikaru felt his smile widen as brown eyes opened to look up at his, the beautiful glow of happiness shining brightly in them.

"What the hell, Hikaru?" Haruhi's voice held traces of laughter as she brought a hand up to her face to wipe away a tear.

Hikaru shrugged and kissed her gently, "I was bored."

"So you take out your boredom on me?" Haruhi smiled as Hikaru laid beside her. She cuddled up into his side, smiling, "That's fine…"

The two were silent, enjoying the warm embrace of their arms around each other. Haruhi closed her eyes as she listened to the soft, rhythmic beating of Hikaru's heart and the barely audible sound of his breathing. Her wide brown eyes looked up to see Hikaru's eyes were closed, and a gentle smile was on his lips, "Hika?"

"Hmmm?" His arms tightened around her waist, eyes remaining closed.

"I love you." Haruhi wiggled around his arms, pushed herself up and pressed her lips to his.

"Mmm…" Hikaru moaned softly against Haruhi's lips and gently pulled her head down to press their lips together more firmly.

Their lips pressed together absent-mindedly, reveling in the soft caress of smooth lips upon smooth lips. They had to no goal, no real intention to do anything besides bask in the sweet, innocent glow of pressing their lips together again and again. Their gentle sighs, the soft sounds of their lips parting for a few seconds were the only noises heard in the quiet room. Haruhi felt like she was floating on a gentle cloud kissed by angels. She felt so at ease in Hikaru's arms, his lips against hers, and she never wanted to lose that wonderful feeling of… of being loved. Haruhi laced her fingers with Hikaru's and placed their entwined hands over her heart, silently telling Hikaru her heart was his to hold and cherish forever.

The two were so locked in their kiss, reveling in the loving caresses of hands over skin and clothing, loving touches of their lips, that they didn't hear the door creak open, nor see the identical twin standing in the door way watching them. Kaoru's molten honey eyes flared with jealousy and a twinge of lust. He watched as the couple shared gentle, loving kisses, their hands roaming over the other's body with no destination in mind. Kaoru felt the overwhelming jealousy spark within him, starting in his chest and spreading out to the tips of his fingers. Seeing his brother with the girl he loved- the girl they both loved- was like stabbing him in the heart and twisting, twisting, twisting the knife until his heart was completely wrapped around the sharp edge. It hurt… a lot, but Kaoru had to be the bigger person and turn a blind eye… or two. Even with all that jealousy stewing inside of him, there was that very slight hint of lust nestling in his groin. Seeing his brother locked in a loving embrace with Haruhi, lips touching ever so gently, only created a vision within Kaoru's mind of how it would look if he were the one with Haruhi. Barely clear memories of the night they had been intimate flashed in his mind, but seeing his brother and Haruhi together only sparked the interest of wanting to know how he looked with her. He and his brother looked exactly alike; From their hair length to their toenail length, they were exact copies of each other. On the many occasions he watched the couple touch, kiss, or even get sensual, he always imagined that he was in his brother's place. It was easy to fantasize on those rare lonely nights; Just picturing himself overtop of Haruhi, kissing her, touching her, loving her was too easy after seeing his twin and the girl together nearly every day.
