Eyes Blue

Look my way

A few days ago
"Oh Kai-chan~" I turned to see Honey senpai beaming like usual holding up a cake "you want to share a piece?" My heart sank thinking of how my parents would react if they ever found out "I wish I could, but I'm trying to cut down on sugar" I watched his face fall causing me to bend down and hug the small boy passionately

I wasn't exactly a guest in the host club, I was more of a step-in manager when they needed one or at least a therapy friend but I was the one who really needed therapy, or at least that's what my parents wanted me to believe. When they weren't arguing or beating me senseless, they were good people and wealthy at that. I spent most my money on things like binders and anything to help me feel more comfortable in my body as well as things to hide those objects

"Whatcha thinking about, Kaida?" I jumped out of my thoughts as I heard each twin behind me "I can feel the prices going up already on Honey senpai's cakes, but whatever makes him happy...what about you two?" I gave them the same fake smile I gave honey senpai, it always seemed to work. I guess I was good actor?

"You look so cute when you stare into space, do it again" I blushed but shook my head glancing at the floor "you two have 'work' to do, go romance some new ladies instead of me" I pushed them playfully pointing to the new faces in the doorway as they smirked "aww but we wanna play with you, not them"

My blush deepened, they knew just how easily I flustered so I was usually their main target when they weren't handing out fan service "after you've done what you're supposed to, now shoo!" Once again they decided to follow me around as a meandered around the edge of the room watching each boy carefully in case they needed help

I couldn't help but have a slight crush on Kaoru but he had the others to worry about and Hikaru needed him for support. But the twin was so sweet and sincere towards others. The way I told the twins is that Kaoru was just the tiniest bit smaller than Hikaru and his voice was softer as well as their mannerisms. But it was just a schoolgirl crush that would just pass in a few weeks time, that's all!

A little while later, there was the guy peaking in the doorway looking all shy and timid "Huh, time's gone by pretty fast. Though I suppose it always does" I made my way towards the door behind I was suddenly being suffocated by the twins again "just a few more minutes, Kaida? We promise it'll be fun!" I slipped out of there arms trying not to look ashamed at my behaviour

"Kaida, is something wrong? You're leaving earlier and earlier every day!" I froze trying to come up with a suitable lie even the twins would believe "I'm just more busy these days, I'm failing my classes!" They glanced at each other "That's not true, you're basically top student! Don't put yourself down so much"

I was so distracted by my own thoughts that I didn't realise what was going on until I felt a sharp pain in my ankle as the sound of something smashing filled the air "Are you okay?! You're bleeding!" My foot moved into view to see a small shard poking out with a trail of crimson streaming into my shoe and staining my white socks causing their colour to flower into a matte red

"Is it okay if we take a look? Or at least walk you to the clinic?" The two siblings were by my side in seconds "thanks for the offer but I can manage. It's just a little piece of my favourite vase being a little too clingy for comfort" I shot them a weak smile as I bent down to begin clearing up the ceramic shards

"That's it! You're coming with us to the clinic, now! Someone else can do that! You need to get looked at!" I'd never seen them so passionate about something let alone me "Yea, don't you realise it could be serious?" I let out a sigh "Do I get to leave after?" They both shrugged with their arms folded before swinging my arms around their shoulders and dragging me out

Let's just say it wasn't the easiest experience to go through, and it didn't help that the twins refused to leave me until everything was okay. As much as it was comforting to be held throughout the whole process, I was glad that they didn't know the whole of my home situation...I feared Kyoya would soon know though, he was always questioning me about my injuries and home life as much as I tried to keep it private

But what would happen when they did find out? Who knows? The twins even tried to persuade me into letting them walk me home but then they'd just get to observe my parent's favourite habit of 'hit the nearest and weakest human being' which was usually me...and that was no different today
