(ch. 62)
"I love you Haruhi, would you go out with me?"
[Kaoru's POV]
I remember the party we held at the end of the year.
I remember Hikaru calling Haruhi to the balcony.
I remember them walking back to the main room, hand in hand. They looked so happy.
And it pained my very heart.
Was I happy for my brother and my best friend? Yes I was.
Was I jealous of their love? A little bit. Not of Hikaru though, I only ever thought of Haruhi as my friend or that little tanuki that we said we would adopt. Me and Hikaru.
But was I jealous of Haruhi? Very much it seemed.
I remember Hikaru announcing it at the party that they we're now officially something.
I remember him leaning in for the kiss.
I remember running out of the room on the verge of tears and it all seemed blurry from there.
[Hikaru's POV]
As our lips met, I finally felt accepted and discovered what true happiness felt like. The audience cheered and even Tamaki was happy for us. But as I looked around for the one person who I could call family, I couldn't seem to find him and that worried me a bit. But in my moment of bliss, I forgot about Kaoru and all of the others around me as I stared into the eyes of the one whom I love.
