SM/Ouran Preview + Random Musings

krysyuySo... writing. Trying hard. Sorta. Also trying to be good about reviewing. B/c y'know, why must I expect it if I don't do it myself? (I mean, as often as I should, which is essentially, every time I read something.) As is the case with a few of my other author friends, I have stuff started but not finished. And I think I'm incapable of writing a drabble. It always invariably turns out to be a ficlet instead.
But for some inexplicable reason which I can't fathom, I was struck with the urge to write an SM/Ouran fic. I just started writing and the next thing I knew, I had close to 7 pages. Yowza. No idea where it came from. And of course, being me, it's nowhere close to finished yet. Jeez.
Anyways, brief summary: Due to a chance encounter, Usagi is drawn to the mystery surrounding the anti-social twins at her school.
The following is just a snippet of something larger. It's sorta in the middle, so don't be surprised if it feels like you're missing something. XD Heh. And it hasn't been proof-read. So yeah.
Usagi had a lot of work to catch up on, having transferred in the middle of the school year, and therefore didn’t have time to even really think about the mysterious boy that had somehow captured her attention.
It wasn’t until later that week that everything came crashing back. She was walking down an open corridor – the building to her right and columns to her left. If she chose to walk out between the columns, then she could sit and rest in the courtyard with its many benches and beautiful fountain. She hummed quietly to herself, thinking of the lessons her grandfather had planned for her that weekend. It was difficult adjusting to a whole new life, but she had to admit that singing lessons were perhaps her favorite part of the week.
“Are you sure you want me to give this to Kaoru? Why don’t you just go out with me?”
Usagi’s head lifted as she turned the corner. She bit back a gasp and immediately darted back around the corner, leaning against the wall. It was him! And if her eyes had taken in everything right, she had very nearly interrupted what looked like a confession scene. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the wall, willing her pulse to slow down.
“I don’t know, Hikaru… I’ve liked Kaoru for so long… couldn’t you please give him my letter?”
“What would be the difference? We’re the same, y’know. Same height, same eyes, same face.”
The couple’s conversation drifted easily to her ears and she froze at his last sentence. Twins. He’s a twin. She didn’t have time to dwell on that as he continued speaking.
“Just go out with me. I think you’re cute. And who knows what my brother will think? I’m the one that’s here. What do you say?”
The first thing that came to her mind was that his voice seemed different. Softer. No, she frowned. Not soft at all. He’s… faking.
Usagi hugged her binder as the unknown girl shyly replied, “O… okay. I’ll go out with you.”
His voice went an octave lower, and Usagi didn’t know why her grip tightened when he said, “Then you’re okay with me?” Perhaps it was the seduction in his tone. It made her shiver involuntarily because she heard the deceit in his honeyed manner.
“Yes, Hikaru.”
There was a pregnant pause, and Usagi thought maybe they were kissing. Before a muscle even twitched so she could pull away from the wall, he spoke again. And Usagi knew right away that a kiss had not transpired. Gone were the pleasantries – in its place, were sharp, ice-laced words.
“Did you hear that, Hikaru? She’s calling you.”
Usagi’s realization had the same timing as the girl’s, except she held in her gasp. “W-what?” the unknown girl uttered.
Usagi chanced a look, peeking around the corner to find that the girl had started to tremble. One of the Hitachiins stood in front of her, holding up what Usagi assumed was the girl’s love letter. But what shocked her was seeing his mirror image walk up to stand beside him, propping his elbow up on his brother’s shoulder. He leaned against him and snagged the letter out of his grasp.
“Thanks Kaoru.” He eyed the love letter in distaste as the girl whimpered, eyes darting between the two of them.
She stared at the boy who had been accompanied her down the hallway. The whole time she had been with her crush? From the start? “You’re Kaoru?” she squeaked. “But you said you were –”
The twin called Hikaru cut her off coldly, love letter still resting between two fingers. His hold, however, was tightening and the poor envelope was slowly getting crushed. “You should’ve known who you were talking to from the start. And by your answer, it doesn’t seem like it would have mattered anyway.”
“No!” The girl seemed to realize the grave mistake she had made. “I really do! I really do like you, Kaoru,” she said earnestly.
“But you were so willing to date my brother,” Kaoru replied, amber eyes narrowing. “I don’t waste my time on liars.”
“Same goes for me. Go somewhere else if you want your pitiful affections returned.” Hikaru lifted her love letter and ripped it to shreds in front of her. The scraps fluttered to the ground as her eyes filled with tears.
“Cr… uel…” she whispered, hiccupping. “You guys are awful!” She spun on her heel and ran down the way she had come, crying all the while.
Usagi watched the twins’ faces and she felt an irrational annoyance as their faces remained blank, simply watching the girl go. She felt pity for her nameless classmate. She had confessed her feelings, but the twins had effectively crushed her.
“That’s another one, Hikaru,” Kaoru replied, turning his attention to the bits of paper on the ground. He stared emotionlessly at the pieces he saw with hearts on them – now torn apart.
“They never learn,” his brother replied. Mirth entered his tone, but it was harsh for bitterness overwhelmed it. “They never understand.” He stomped on the ruined letter, grinding the shreds underneath expensive shoes.
Kaoru touched Hikaru’s shoulder wordlessly and the tension seemed to drain from his form. Hikaru kicked the pieces and watched as they scattered to the wind. “Let’s go.”
Kaoru nodded and walked side by side with his brother, heading in Usagi’s directions. The blonde ducked out of sight, very aware they would happen upon her. There was nowhere she could run. The courtyard was open and they would notice if she darted there. If she went back the way she came, they would see her running away as the corridor was long and wide and offered no immediate shelter. She had almost decided on a course of action when she spotted white material out of the corner of her eye.
Usagi sucked in a breath and she froze in panic. Her eyes rose without meaning to. She was able to skim the faces of the two handsome teenagers as they passed without so much as a glance in her direction. She exhaled slowly, knowing they saw but chose to ignore her.
“It’s like they’re in their own world.”
How… Usagi watched them go, her feet seemingly unsteady. …sad.
It was almost like the week before, when she had seen the mysterious boy’s back retreating, except this time, she was seeing double. A sense of helplessness came over her. She couldn’t tell the difference between them.
Who had she bumped into?
Damn the plot bunny. Damn ALL the plot bunnies!!!
Or rather, damn the fact that I can't finish anything.

Date: 2007-11-22 06:16 pm (UTC)Thanks so much for your feedback. I hope I can continue to write the twins in character, but we'll see. The next part is definitely when that'll be tested. *crosses fingers*
Bewitched (Part 1)
I was more annoyed at the fact that plot bunnies appear for new ideas before I even finish a fic. My FF.Net profile is quite sad. I am incapable of finishing anything. *shakes head* But I'm glad you enjoyed this particular plot bunny.
Anyways, please enjoy the story so far. ♥
P.S. Much ♥ for your icon.
