Well, that was... special. No wonder he was losing respect for this place--the fearful Martin Landel was coming undone, most probably with boredom. So scary. Even Nursey seemed a little exasperated, though that most likely had more to do with X's constant insistence to stay in the Sun Room rather than go inside the Greenhouse

Miku decided that Soubi was a better person than she originally thought - at least until he said something perverted to Ritsuka on the board and the whole cycle began again. With a little laugh, and a bit of praise from her nurse for eating over half of her meal, Miku settled down on a couch and sighed.
Today had been entirely too emotional, it would be nice to have a quiet moment now.
[For Hikaru♥ and Kaoru♥]

Nothing bad had happened to him, at least, nothing that she could see. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Hinasaki Miku," Miku bowed her head politely, and kept her feet curled under her. And then shot him with the long-inactive moebeam.

"...Or that's what I would say if I were working, anyway," he amended cheekily, looking a lot more natural. "But I've been off the clock for...oh...three weeks now. So. Nice to meet you."

"What work do you do?" He seemed a little young to be a host, after all.

"Oh... Hikaru. Who's your friend?" he asked, quietly, trying oh-so hard not to sound hurt.

"It's part of a club I'm in at school. We--" Then Hikaru appeared to notice Kaoru for the first time and started, a slightly guilty look on his face. Oh man, this was going to be awesome. It had been way too freaking long since they'd done this. "O-oh, Kaoru. This is Hinasaki-san. Hinasaki-san, I'd like to introduce you to my brother, Kaoru." Still looking like a little kid who'd been caught with his hand stuck in the cookie jar, Hikaru scooted closer to Miku on the couch in order to give Kaoru room to sit down. His crutches were kicked under the couch for the time being.
"How've...you been, Kaoru?" he asked timidly.

One should always be polite, after all. "It's nice to meet you." Miku brought her head up to between the boys, "...Should I... should I leave you two alone?" She certainly didn't want to interrupt anything, after all.

Kaoru loved playing the jealous little brother. It was so needy.
"I've been fine," he said, shortly. "You seem fine too."
He smiled brightly at Hinasaki. "Just Kaoru. We're not the same person so it's easier to call us by our seperate names." Ah, the spiteful stone and smirk at Hikaru.
"Please, don't leave on my account. Of course, if you wanted to chat alone...?" And ease back into the dejected, sad little brother, ready to stand up and leave, reluctantly.

Ouch. Kaoru's little barb was particularly well-aimed. Hikaru winced as if he'd been struck. He'd have to remember that one in the future. Maybe next time they decided to switch roles a bit (once his leg was all healed up), he'd be able to use it. Tamaki had freaked out in a particularly beautiful way when the twins had pretended to fight a few months ago. Maybe they could get a similar reaction here.
"N-no, it's okay. Kaoru." Looking up, Hikaru reached a tentative hand towards his brother's. "Please. Don't go."
It was really too bad that Renge and the Moe Squad weren't here to see this performance. Even though they hadn't really gotten to practice lately, the twins were in top form today.

Kaoru went back to hugging the chair, apparently trying to avoid looking at his brother, but Miku's question caught his attention and he looked at her confused. It turned to embarrassment and then something slightly defensive as he frowned and eased his grip. "I'm not. I just... feel more comfortable like this."
He looked at his brothers knees sadly, as though he really wanted to stretch out against his dear twin.
"So...how do you two know each other?"

"Kaoru...have I done something wrong? Why are you so...?" His voice broke slightly. "I'm sorry. If I did anything, if this is my fault, I'm so, so sorry."
Cue the tearful reconciliation in 5...4...

...Why were her days becoming as weird as her nights?

3.... Kaoru looked back to Hikaru, mirroring his expression.....2.....his eyes welled up.....1......
"Oh Hikaru, I'm sorry! When I saw you with a girl...I....I thought....you might like her better than me....!" Kaoru wrapped his arms around his twin.

"Kaoru," Hikaru said huskily, tilting his brother's chin towards his face, "I will never like anyone better than I like you." Distantly, he felt a little bit sorry for poor Miku. She obviously had no idea what was going on and was barely struggling to maintain her composure. Poor thing had absolutely no experience with this sort of thing, did she?
Hikaru held the pose for a little bit longer, staring lovingly and longingly into Kaoru's eyes, before he just couldn't take it any longer. He gave Kaoru a very subtle cue and then turned around, facing Miku. He just couldn't hold it any longer. "Oh, right. Hinasaki-san. I never told you what I do in school." He gave her the biggest shit-eating grin he possibly could.
"We're Hosts."
