I may be out of line, but hiding your true self and putting on airs doesn't seem any different than running away to me." - Tamaki Suoh

── ✧《✩》✧ ──

Are twins truly all different?

I mean, look at me and Haruhi. Even though we don't come from the same birth mother, in this universe we're twins. Some of my mannerisms have changed while being here, and even though we have different interests and hobbies—we clearly were twins.

But...then you see the redhead twins and you can't help but wonder...

"Then... Do you know which one is Hikaru and which one is Kaoru?" The twins ask with a spin. This is the question I always ask whenever they play their stupid game. "It's the 'Which one is Hikaru-kun' game!"

The ladies cheered.

I sat and watched the shit show while assisting Tamaki today. Haruhi was with us before she got up and left us. Our next customer doesn't come until a bit later.

We got a pass because of what happened with Renge, even though it's been a few days. My wound started to scab and I should be all good within a week.

I couldn't care less as I wrote poems into my already overstuffed notepad...I should honestly get a new one but—I'm kinda attached to the little thing.

It was black and there was a tiny clip at the top that held my pen (actually pens, I keep losing them..) there were random Post-it notes stuck on the inside and a lot of them peeked out.

"Well then, can you tell which one is Hikaru?" They asked again

"Oh, that's so hard..."

"You two look so identical."

"So far, no one has been able to really tell who's who."

"What a worthless game," Haruhi commented as she passed the twins. I love my sister, she can be so shady sometimes.

The twins stopped and looked at her. "What? Is there something you don't like about it?"

"Actually... I still don't get why you two are so popular."

"Oh, that's something nice to say." Hikaru scowled.

"It seems that Haruhi..." Kaoru pushed the cap farther up his head. "... does not understand the benefits of us, the twins, being in the Host Club."

"I've got a twin too and you don't see me trying to fuck her—"

"WOAH—" I screamed from across the room. I put down my notepad and a few Post-its flew out. Tamaki was quick to place them back in the notepad.

She swore oh my god—

Is... is nobody paying attention to this?!?

HELLO????

The club continued, nobody was listening to their conversations but me. Fucking anime logic dude.

Hikaru took offense to this. "Listen. Just the fact that we're both handsome types and homo scores a lot of points. And while our act that swings between friendship and homo is favorable enough..."

"... in our case, we use the highest taboo of us being twins as our biggest weapon." His twin continued.

Hikaru and Kaoru both approach one of their female customers from two sides. Completely smothering the poor girl. They chimed, "On top of that, this setup of also being loved simultaneously by these two tightly bonded twins is... a maiden's ultimate romance, right?"

"Ah... Huh?" The customer fumbled. "Huh? Me? I can't take it anymore!"

"Kya!!"

The twins laughed at the reactions of the multiple girls...I will never get comfortable with their act..

Their customers try asking Haru and me to do something like that one time and it got shot down fucking hard.

Except when we hug or do anything to show physical affection or even just say the words 'love you' they flip their fucking lids...

I was surprised when Tamaki jumped out of the seat next to me. He sprinted fast to the twins and ...started yapping about something stupid and...photoshopping. Never knew they were into that kinda thing too.

I shivered at their usage of photoshopping—however, I fucking kill having a man's body.

"Pssst" I jumped.

Oh.

Hell.

No.

I quickly stood up and booked it towards my sister. I clutched onto her side.

"I'm not your toy—Y/n? What are you doing?"

"Someone called out to me in that corner and I don't play with demons bro."

"You're being silly—"

We looked at where I was sitting. A door that wasn't there before had suddenly appeared. An arm was sticking through the door, on his hand was a puppet.

This must be Nekozawa. The cloaked man peeks through a door shaking the puppet. "Toy... Toy, toy... If you like toys, then come to my club, the Black Magic Club."

"Huh?" The twins asked.

"What you got to offer—"

"Y/N?!?"

"I'm glad you asked! The world's black magic item market is now open."

Tamaki cut him off, "Ah...Y/N was joking."

"We also have a mass going on all the time. Come now and everyone will get a lovely voodoo doll, Beelzenef, as a present."

"I mean, I'm down." Okay, he was kinda cool as a character. I started walking towards him before someone lifted me in the air with my blazer. They were mindful of my shoulder, however.

I looked up to be met with Mori-senpai's downward-turned eyebrows. "No."

"Y/n must be sick again...." Haruhi sighed as Mori sat me down on a couch. I sat on my notepad. Like, WOW, what a bunch of bitches...smh. He went back to his table after that. He is watching me. "Anyways—Why are you talking from that little opening?"

"And was there a door over there before?"

Kyouya answered the twins' question, "Nekozawa-senpai doesn't like places that are bright."

"You should stay away from that person." Tamaki scowled at me as I came to a sitting position. "If you are connected to him in any way, without exception, you'll get cursed.

"What makes you say that?"

"You said to yourself, that you don't mess with demons."

"....You've got me there okay."

"Besides... It was during last year's final exam... that I accidentally stepped on something. The day I stepped on that voodoo doll, Beelzenef, by mistake... mysterious curse-like words spelled out on the test that I was taking immediately afterward! Just as I thought it was weird, I looked around and it was in a different dimension with people I had never seen before!"

Haruhi stifled a laugh. "That happened?!"

"That was just you taking a test in Greek class by mistake." Kyouya rolled his eyes.

"No, it's a curse! And for the next three days, for some reason, my feet were as heavy as lead!"

"You were running the marathon the day before."

"I say you're just bullying the poor kid"

"The power of this voodoo doll, Beelzenef, is authentic." He confirmed. "If you write the name of the person you hate on the back of this doll, that person will suffer much misfortunate."

Kaoru sighed, "This person is dark in many ways."

"He said he doesn't like shiny lights," Hikaru asks as he brings out a flashlight. "Kaoru What about something like this?"

Kaoru shines the flashlight at Nekozawa. Nekozawa starts screaming. No screaming is an understatement. He's yelling bloody murder. He's screaming that he's melting and how he can't breathe before returning to his black magic club room.

I sighed as Tamaki started yelling about the curse and bloody murder. Now I'm getting a headache.

Tamaki started to sulk in the corner, he's so funny for no reason.

"Hey, guys." The twins asked I'm assuming 'guys' was Haru and I. "We've got a favor to ask."

"No—"I responded as soon as Haruhi asked, "What?"

'Okay damn, we don't finish each other's sentences.'

"On our next holiday...can we go visit your home?" Tamaki liked this idea.

"Why all of a sudden?"

"We don't allow animals through our front door—"

"Yeah they, why are you allowed in there?" They shot back at me...wow, okay they didn't have to snap back at me like that. "Besides, we're interested."

"I agree with n/n, no."

"No matter what?"

'Oh no...don't tell me this is THAT episode.'

"No is no because you'll just make fun of me."

"No matter how much we beg?"

"Respect my boundaries." 'HA, they don't understand boundaries'

Tamaki slithered up and tried to join the conversation meekly, "And I was also thinking about greeting your parents--"

"No." We both chimed together. 'Ha! We can harmonize!'

"Daddy! They're learning how to be in sync!" Tamaki cried before going back to his sulking corner.

"Well, that is what twins do," Kyouya smirked.

The twins quickly took over, "Then let's do this. If you guess wrong at the 'Which one is Hikaru-kun' game, then we're going to visit your house as a penalty."

No way this shit ends well...

Nonetheless, we watched the twins repeatedly change places several times.

"Okay, which one is Hikaru-kun?"

Haruhi paused. Examining the twins before pointing to the one on the left, "This one is Kaoru, and this one is Hikaru."

"Beep beep, you're wrong!"

'Wild, they're some cheaters.'

"I'm not wrong. You two are different even though you look the same."

Hina, one of the quiet listeners, asked my sister, "Hey, hey, Haruhi-kun. I really can't tell who's who after they hide the way they part their hair to the left or right."

Kozue—another girl, asked. "How are you able to tell?"

This caused Haruhi to put her tray on the table finally.

"Hmm, well, let's see... If I had to say, Hikaru's actions are one level meaner than Kaoru's."

Kaoru laughed at that, "Pft... Fufu... S-Sorry, Hikaru. Hahahaha!"

"Hey, I'm just being sincere and saying what I want without hiding anything, and in fact, Kaoru's the one that's more ill-natured." Hikaru scowled.

"Huh? Don't just say whatever you want. I'm the one that has to deal with your selfishness all the time."

"I may be the one that brought this up, but you're the one that's digging a deeper hole. If you don't like it then stop. Are you stupid or something?"

"That's because I couldn't help but see you being dumber. Besides, even though you call Haruhi and Y/n your toys, you always make a pass at them whenever you get the chance. What kind of sick nature do you have that you want both twins? Hikaru, you actually like both of them, don't you?"

"Ngh... What?!"

"What?!" Tamaki shouted.

"Wh-What are you misunderstanding here?! You are an idiot, Kaoru."

"Yeah! There are things you should and shouldn't say in this world!" Hikaru shouted he felt offended. "Besides, why would I like a short fox like them?"

"I think I'm kinda tall—" I interviewed.

Haruhi rolled her eyes, and proudly announced "—Yeah but I'm taller."

'Son of a bit—wait no we have the same dad okay.'

"How dare you call them a pair of short foxes!" Tamaki shouted.

This didn't stop the twins from grunting at each other with a sour look.

"Beautiful! This is beautiful! A voice rang out, and Renge rose on her motorized platform. Where did that come from? "A beautiful yet painful five-sided relationship revolving around Haruhi and Y/n. And four of them are twins. What a predicament-like development.

"Get lost, you otaku." They shouted at her.

She sulked, "So mean! So mean! How could you say that to the manager?"

"Renge-kun." Tamaki asked.

"Huh?"

"I thought you liked Haruhi and Y/n?"

She rolled her eyes, "That's a separate thing. Having a different stomach for this kind of relationship is common sense these days."

"Wait a minute... How ARE you here?" I asked her. "I thought you had already gone back to France."

She put a hand on her cheek. "When I tried founding a host club in France, it wasn't received well because it was too early for them."

She won the 'idgaf' war, seriously. She just stayed in Japan because they didn't have what she wanted back home.

The twins however continued to argue. Annoyed that we weren't paying attention to their argument.

"That's it! I'm not talking to you anymore!" They shouted at eachother before storming off to their respective corners... this cannot be good.
