Unrequited

Chapter Three

The trip to the Hitachiin mansion was a lot shorter than Tamaki had hoped. Between Usagi, Kyoya, the strange feeling in his chest, and worry about Haruhi, Tamaki is completely overwhelmed. Kyoya drags him to the front door of the mansion by the sleeve of his shirt, holding a giggly Usagi.

The twins open the door with a simultaneous greeting. They smile widely at Kyoya and Usagi, picking up the little girl and tossing her between them like a ball. The one year old laughs excitedly, cheering "Uncle Hika" and "Uncle Kao" on. Tamaki momentarily worries about the child, but decides that he trusts them to not hurt Hunny's baby.

"Hello Kyoya, how are you?" the twins say in unison, settling Usagi into Kaoru's(?) arms. Usagi giggles as she recovers from the play time, tugging on Kaoru's hair lightly.

"I am doing fine. I have given Mitsukuni his birthday present- alone time with his husband. I brought Tamaki here to apologize to Haruhi for his frankly disgusting behavior at lunch today." Kyoya says calmly. Tamaki feels himself grow offended at this.

"I brought myself!" he argues. Kyoya smacks him over the head in a friendly way.

"Don't be an ass." Kyoya replies.

"I agree. Besides-"

"We don't want you here." Hikaru says, finishing his brother's sentence.

"If you let Tamaki in to apologize, I will stay and let you play with Usagi all day." Kyoya says with the exasperated sigh of a parent coming up with a compromise for his stubborn children. The twins look at Usagi's smiling face and groan.

"Come in." they say, beckoning for Tamaki and Kyoya to come inside. Kyoya immediately follows, pulling Tamaki with him.

Haruhi is easily seen as soon as they walk into the living room. She sits on the couch, a plate of fancy tuna balanced on her pregnant stomach. She eats as she watches television, not noticing the three men besides her fiancees enter.

"Hika? Kao? Who was at the door?" she says, not looking away from the violent anime playing on the television that Tamaki recognizes as "Attack on Titan."

"It was Kyoya, Usagi, and the boss." Kaoru says with a silent shrug, sliding onto the couch next to her. Hikaru follows suit so that Haruhi is on top of Kaoru and Kaoru is on top of Hikaru. Tamaki's heart pangs painfully as he wonders how comfortable it must be to lay with her like that.

"Well I hope you're here to apologize." she says, glaring at Tamaki. Usagi runs to Haruhi and climbs on top of her stomach.

"I conkwhered baby mountain!" the child announces. Everyone laughs, and even Kyoya can't help but smile.

"It's pronounced conquer," Kyoya corrects calmly, picking her up and leaving the room. The child chatters idly, and Kyoya responds good naturedly to her outrageous claims every few sentences. Haruhi stares at Tamaki, waiting for the apology.

"I'm sorry Haruhi. I shouldn't have treated you like that." Tamaki says nervously.

"Damn straight." Haruhi growls, staring him down. Tamaki gulps, self-conscious.

"I guess I'm just not completely over you, and it was a shock." he explains. Haruhi considers the apology.

"Okay. I forgive you." she says simply. Tamaki is shocked, and so are the twins.

"But- He-" they say.

"I know but I don't care. The twins don't need a fighting family." she says, rubbing her stomach. Tamaki thinks that his head might explode.

"Twins?"

"Girls." Hikaru and Kaoru confirm. "Daughters to protect from perverts like you." The quick turn back to teasing nearly gives Tamaki whiplash, and he decides that he will never, ever, understand the twins.
