Poetic Type? [OHSHC] REWRITING

chapter six ;

I swiftly unlocked the door and slipped inside, sneaking through the dark, unlit hallways. I flinched as the lights suddenly switched on. I turned around to see my smirking older brother, Aito. It was like looking into a mirror, but the reflection was photoshopped a bit.

Aito's eyes were a much more deeper shade of blue and unfeeling. His hair more brown than black. He was a few inches taller, too. He was leaning against the wall, hands in his pockets.

"Little brother, where were you?" Aito sneered, stealthily walking towards me like a predator would prey. "I was so lonely, waiting for you.. Do you realize how late it is?"

"I was busy with a school activity, mind you," I retorted and turned away to retreat into my room. His hand gripped my shoulder, stopping me from taking another step.

"What if mom and dad heard of this? Sneaking into a late night party?" He grinned slyly, his face inches from my ear. "You know they favor me, and if I complain about you, you know what'll happen."

I slapped his hand away and walked to my bedroom, not bothering to look back as Aito wouldn't waste his "precious" time chasing after me. I locked my door, my back sliding against it down to the floor. I sighed and got up, grabbing my towel to go take a shower.

It was Friday, and I was walking with Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin to their limousine. Where are we going, you may ask? We were heading to the twins' house. My hands were slightly clammy, it being my first time visiting anyone's house, besides relatives.

I was sandwiched between the two gingers. We had just finished club activities, and we had quite an exciting meeting. I'm not even sure if that was sarcasm or not. I'm feel a bit weary, especially from last night, even though I slept for eight hours.

"Don't be so stiff," Kaoru laughed, elbowing me in the ribs. I gave a small grin. "You act like you've never been to anyone's place before."

"Well, actually, I.. uh.. I haven't," I confessed, not really sure what to say. Hikaru looked at me with a dumbfounded look, then exchanging glances with his younger brother. I didn't feel good about spending my Friday afternoon with this particularly mischievous pair of twins.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
"Oh darling, you look absolutely fabulous!" Kaoru said with an exaggerated accent while he waved his hands with a flourish. Hikaru snickered. I blushed furiously as I tried to close the dressing room curtain.

Here I was, expecting that we'd just hang and do normal rich kid stuff. But, my hosts had other plans. They decided to dress me up like a doll. And here I am, standing in a pastel pink dress with ruffles on the skirt and flowing long sleeves. The twins' maids forced me into a corset and wig, which was all the more horrifying. And now they shoved pink, glittery high heels and fancy white socks in my face.

"This isn't my idea of fun, I'll have you know," I pulled the skirt down. It was too short, only reaching mid-thigh. I felt extremely exposed and girly, something Hayashi Eiji isn't.

"It looks like you're enjoying it," Hikaru teased. "Nice legs." I growled at him, throwing my sock at him. Hikaru swatted it, bringing it into Kaoru's lap.

"I guess you'd like something more manly?" Kaoru chuckled and patted my shoulder, which was barely covered by this stupid excuse of a dress. He brought out a suit, which reflected my current feelings. Stiff and uncomfortable. I gingerly tried on the tuxedo.

It was a plain black tux, with a teal tie and light gray button up shirt. It was pretty standard, but the fabric felt really nice. When I stepped out, Kaoru whistled and jabbed Hikaru, who slapped his finger away.

"You look good in everything," Hikaru commented as I scowled, remembering all the other traumatizing outfits I had to wear. "Maybe we'll let you try on a maid's uniform~"

I shook my head and flat out rejected it and offered another idea. "Can't we just play video games or something?" Hikaru and Kaoru huddled in the corner, considering my idea.

"Fine then. What games do you wanna play?" Hikaru shrugged as I changed back into my own clothing. I stepped out and followed them to the living room where a TV and gaming console was.

"I don't know. I don't play video games." I fiddled with my fingers. Hikaru and Kaoru were sitting on the floor and they stared at me.

"Have you been living under a rock this whole time?" Kaoru asked in a whisper. I plopped down beside Hikaru, who had began stroking my head in mock-sympathy.

"Poor thing," they said in unison. I scowled and took a controller.

"Are we going to play? What game?" I changed the subject and looked at the shelve of games under the TV. There were dozens of games.

"Let's start with the basics. Minecraft!" Hikaru said and prepared the game.

"Wouldn't it be better if we played Minecraft on a computer?" Kaoru suggested and Hikaru shrugged in response.

"Meh, we'll show him later." Hikaru sat down as the home screen popped up. "I bet Eiji can't win against me in a 1v1."
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
"How?!" Hikaru gaped as I won, a score of 9-2.

"I win!" I high-fived his twin and grinned.

"I call hacks."
