A/N : I am so sorry to whoever actually followed my story. I am so happy that people enjoyed my story so much to actually want to find out what happens next. In actuality, I did not plan on making multiple chapters for this piece. It was originally suppose to be a one shot, but I accidently didn't click the completed box. So after months of trying to figure out how to continue this I decided to just to a change of view. So this story will be in Hikaru's perspective. I'm sorry to anyone who actually wanted the story continued. I just can't figure out how to continue it because it was not suppose to be continued. So I hope my reader are happy with what I could come up with.
Italics are Hikaru's thoughts. Now let's get on with the story. Enjoy :)
HIKARU'S P.O.V.
Another day sitting bored in Music Room 3. Suddenly, I hear an exclamation from the boss.
"We are going back to the beach!" Tamaki shouts, "Hikaru, Kaoru, fetch Haruhi."
A smile forms on my lips, as I exit through the double doors.
I see a small figure walking off toward the front doors of the school. To anyone else, they would think that said figure was just another rich boy who attended Ouran High School.
A smirk appears on my face when I hear Haruhi mumble to herself. "I wish I had a pool."
I whisper to Kaoru, "Let's go help Haruhi."
When Kaoru and I approach Haruhi, we simultaneously say, "We can help,"
I grab Haruhi's right arm, while Kaoru takes her left. Haruhi screams in protest as we drag her to the limo and toss her inside. Kaoru and I wait until our limo comes to pick us up.
Now we're off to the beach.
Oddly enough, we end up arriving before Boss and Haruhi. I know that Haruhi will not be prepared for the beach because nobody told her about going today.
I motion to the maids, "Go to the ladies' room and prepare a bathing suit for Haruhi."
"Yes, master Hikaru," they respond.
As I'm walking away, I see Kaoru go over and talk to the maids. All three of them start giggling to themselves.
I wonder what that's about?
I end up arriving right on time, as Boss' limo pulls up. When Haruhi steps out of the limo, I can tell she is surprised. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I immediately go up to Haruhi with Kaoru in tow. We both take an arm and drag her to the ladies' room.
Before we walk away, Kaoru stops me, "I think you'll like the bathing suit the maids chose," He winks as he walks away.
I stand there dumbfounded at what Kaoru could of meant.
Whatever Haruhi wears, I know I'll like it.
That one sentence makes my legs halt any further movement.
Where did that thought come from?
I shake off this foreign feeling and walk over to Kaoru.
As I wait for Haruhi to finish changing, I get bored. I see a volleyball off in the distance and go get it. I ask Kaoru if he wants to play volleyball. He agrees. I see Boss walking along the sand toward us.
Once Boss is close enough, Kaoru and I yell, " Boss, play volleyball with us!"
Boss responds with, "No, I won't play one of your childish games."
I see Haruhi watching our little fight.
I waltz over to her and tilt her chin up, " Well, what if the winner gets to kiss our precious Haruhi?"
I smirk to myself when Boss angrily spikes the volleyball over the net.
Checkmate.
When we first start the game, we are evenly matched. Then Boss earns the first point. I grit my teeth.
I can't let Boss kiss Haruhi.
Before I can worry about my thoughts, I spike the ball over the net to tie us once again.
My breath is ragged as Kaoru gets another point. Both Kaoru and I have 15 points as well as Boss. I look over to Boss to see him sweating and trying to catch his breath. I smile to myself, knowing that he won't last much longer. Before I can think another thought, the world goes black.
Suddenly, I feel water being poured onto me. I frantically sit up and see Haruhi standing over me with an empty bucket. As she goes to hand me a water bottle, her foot slips and she starts to fall. The world goes in slow motion as Haruhi lands on top of me.
"Ugh," I groan.
When I lift my head, I see Haruhi's dark brown hair in my line of sight. When Haruhi gets her bearings again, she lifts her head, and I realize how close we really are. I am captivated by her gaze. Unfortunately, the spell is broken when Boss heaves her up to her feet again. Boss starts squawking like a mother hen as he asks if Haruhi is okay. Before Haruhi can respond, Honey senpai comes over and whisks her away.
I sigh to myself as I get back onto my feet. Off in the distance, I see Kaoru sitting beneath an umbrella. I go over and plop down next to him.
"That was quite a moment you two had," Kaoru says.
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"I'm talking about you and Haruhi," Kaoru explains, "There is something between you two that neither one has realized until now." Kaoru suddenly turns to me, his voice dead serious, " Hikaru, it's not just you and I anymore. You know as well as I do that Haruhi has wormed her way into both of our hearts. You have to take a chance before Tamaki gets her."
At the end of that sentence Kaoru gets up and walks away, leaving me to ponder over the words he said.
Is Kaoru rights? Is it really not him and me against the world anymore?
I tell myself that it will always be the two of us and nothing will change that. A warm feeling in my chest halts me next thought. I sigh to myself.
Maybe Kaoru is right.
Before I can dive deeper into this, I see everyone head toward the beach house.
"I guess dinner is ready," I say as I stand up and walk toward the food.
During dinner, I can't help but glance toward Haruhi. I keep thinking about what Kaoru said.
What if I do take that step and change everything?
As I'm looking over at Haruhi, I see her catch my gaze. I quickly turn my head and start a conversation with Kaoru. When I feel her gaze off me, I let out a breath i didn't realize I was holding.
Later, during the night, I end up tossing and turning in bed. I huff in exasperation and throw off my covers. I look over to see Kaoru fast asleep. I sigh to myself.
I've been doing that a lot more recently.
I look out the window and decide to go for a walk to clear my mind. As I'm walking along the beach, I see a lone figure gazing out into the water. I decide to walk closer to the mystery person. When I get close enough, I blurt out, "Haruhi?"
"Yeah Hikaru," she says without hesitation.
A chuckle escapes my lips as I ask, "How is it that you can always tell Kaoru and I apart?"
"You guys are two different people. You both have distinct characteristics about yourselves," Haruhi responds.
"So Haruhi, why are you out so late?" I ask curiously.
She turns around to face me and says, "Well, the water looked so pretty. I just wanted to see it up close. Why are you out here Hikaru?"
I want to tell her it's because Kaoru planted an idea of us together, and now I can't get you out of my head, but I settle for, "I couldn't sleep."
After that, silence falls between us. I see Haruhi gazing up in wonder at the stars. A sudden urge of courage flows through me, as I grab Haruhi's hand and head toward the ocean.
"What are you doing?" Haruhi asks in confusion.
"I thought it would look more pretty if we stand in the water," I say as I release her hand.
Haruhi looks in awe at the water surrounding us.
Her eyes have a little sparkle in them, like when she looks longingly at fancy sushi.
I smile to myself as I think up a plan. I slowly walk behind Haruhi and splash water at her.
She turns around in a flash and says, "You did not just do that," as she splashes me back.
I'm surprised that she splashes back.
"Oh, it's so on," I say with a smile.
We continue to splash each other back and forth, until I realize that I have completely soaked Haruhi. I can feel my face heat up as I scan my eyes over her bathing suit.
Haruhi snaps me out of my gaze when she walks over to me and says, "Hikaru, are you sick?"
She then puts one of her small dainty hands onto my face. My face gets warmer when I realize how close she is to me.
I can see her face wrinkle with worry, so I whisper out, "Your shirt."
She sighs and says, "Hikaru, speak up. I can't hear you."
I gulp and say louder, "Your shirt," as I motion to it.
Haruhi steps back to examine her shirt.
She scrunches her face in confusion as she asks, "Yeah, what about it?"
"I can see your bathing suit through it," I mumble.
She suddenly becomes angry as as she says, "Oh that, well your stupid maids forced me into this thing. So if you got a problem with it, it's not my fault."
Crap, I didn't mean to make her mad.
I wave my arms in a panic, "No that's not what I meant. It looks really…," I trail off.
"Really what?" she asks annoyed.
What am I supposed to say. It makes you look more beautiful than you already are? It makes my heart beat faster? Blue looks really nice on you?
I can't think of anything, so I settle with, "Really nice on you."
Haruhi's eyes widen in astonishment, as she stares into my eyes. An emotion flashes before her eyes as she looks at my lips. I start to lean forward.
"Haruhi," I whisper right before our lips connect.
Her lips are so soft.
My eyes snap open when I realize what I'm doing. I pull back in a hurry. Haruhi looks at me confused. I can feel my face burning.
I hear the most adorable sound leave her lips, as she comes over to me and plants a soft kiss to my unsuspecting lips. A soft smile appears on my face. My smile grows when I see the steady rise of red appear on Haruhi's face. All of a sudden, Haruhi buries her face into my chest. A laugh escapes my lips as I wrap my arms around her.
I guess Kaoru was right. My world is bigger than just us two. There's another person who has entered my world. I'm glad that it's Haruhi.
