Chapter 2: Sunset and Secrets
"Shoot, I have to hurry," Hikaru thought, looking at the time, and knowing that walking it could take some time. He knew that he would have to tread through the swamp just north in the forest, so he found his military combat boots that he had been given to him last years. He threw on a different pair of jeans, this pair rather muddy towards the bottoms of the legs. He rushed out his door, and booked it over to Chrissy's house. He checked the time again, seeing he made it to her house in five minutes, and he was slightly out of breath. He knocked on the door, and saw Chrissy's mother.
"Haven't seen you here in a while," she smiled, making wat for Hikaru to enter.
"I actually came here to pick her up. Is she home?" Hikaru asked, not entering, but waiting outside.
"Let me get her for you. Please come in while you wait," she invited.
"I don't want to track mud in your house. I don't mind waiting outside," Hikaru pointed out, the mother noticing the muddy pants. She sighed, leaving to go get her daughter, not closing the door. Hikaru checked the time, knowing that the window was closing slowly.
"Hey Hikaru," Chrissy smiled, wearing a pair of sweatpants and a black shirt. She had her hair in a ponytail as well. She actually wasn't sure if this was a date or not, considering how dense Hikaru could be, so she spent a good hour deciding on what to wear.
"We should probably hurry if we want to make it," Hikaru informed. "I'll see you again soon!"
Hikaru and Chrissy started to run, Hikaru started to do some parkour, and even ran along a building to avoid running into people. Chrissy was matching his pace, weaving through people instead. Hikaru stopped running once he got to a city exit, looking at his phone, checking the time.
"Twenty minutes. Just barely if we run as one," Hikaru spoke, seeing Chrissy next to him, catching her breath. He slid his phone inside his pocket, and picked her up bridal style. "Hold on, okay?" Hikaru smiled, Chrissy blushing, holding onto him, not wanting to let go of him.
Hikaru started to run with Chrissy seeing him run through Route 14, his boots and pants becoming even muddier than they already were. He passed a small cabin, and found a clearing on top of a hill. He stopped, and let Chrissy down. He sat down, Chrissy sitting next to him. Hikaru, even though he was dense, was the type of person who enjoys cuddling. Chrissy felt him pull himself closer, and Chrissy let her head fall on his shoulder. Hikaru was enjoying watching the sunset, Chrissy feeling the same, and was still unsure if Hikaru was even aware of her feelings towards him.
"Hikaru?" Chrissy started, not moving from where she was.
"Yeah?" Hikaru replied, not moving either.
"N-nevermind," Chrissy shyly replied, not able to ask Hikaru about what he thought of her.
"The sunset is always so beautiful to watch. And what comes after is also amazing," Hikaru spoke, sighing. "A night sky filled with stars."
'Hikaru, why can't you see how I feel about you?' Chrissy thought, starting to shed a tear.
"Hey, Chrissy, earlier today, were you serious?" Hikaru asked, Chrissy blushing, thinking he had heard what she said about him sixth period. They didn't share that class together, so she wondered how he could have known about it. Hikaru didn't know what she had said, and was trying to find out if what she said to him fourth period was a joke or not. Simply put, they are on two different pages.
There was a silence between the two. "Yes." Chrissy spoke, deciding to let him know since he had figured out. At least that's what she thought. "I've felt that way for a long time now. I just wasn't sure if you would feel the same way or not."
"No way in hell would I feel the same way about that. I'd rather cut my hair than be forced in a dress. Bit creepy that you've felt like that for a while," Hikaru replied, revealing that he was on fourth period. Chrissy blushed, and hit Hikaru.
"I thought you were talking about something else! Stupid!" Chrissy shouted.
"What were you talking about? It seems pretty important. Especially if you hit me because of it. I've noticed that you tend to hit me when you're talking about somethings, but you never tell me. If you're having trouble with anything, just tell me so you aren't alone," Hikaru suggested, Chrissy starting to cry. Hikaru heard her cry, and hugged her. Chrissy blushed, and just let herself go. She started to cry, letting her problems flow out of her with the tears. They sat there for quite a while, since when Chrissy finally let go of Hikaru, the sky was black. But the night sky was filled with stars, which Hikaru was right about. It was a beautiful sight.
The two sat, enjoying each other's company. Hikaru felt Chrissy's head go back to his shoulder, and heard her breathing softly. Hikaru smiled, and picked her up. He carried her back to her home, and knocked on the door. He was welcomed by Chrissy's mother.
"Good evening Hikaru," she smiled, seeing her daughter asleep in Hikaru's arms. She let him in, and Hikaru got off this boots with some effort while holding Chrissy. Hikaru proceeded to carry Chrissy up to her room. He's been over a few times, and knew the layout of the home well enough to get to her room easily. He opened the door to her room with his foot, which was easy to do, considering how he does that at his home as well. He gently laid her down on her bed, and smiled. He kissed her forehead, wondering what she was talking about earlier. As he was at the doorframe, he took one last look at his friend, seeing her sleeping with a smile on her face. He closed the door quietly, and walked downstairs, greeted by Chrissy's mother, who had a stern look on her face.
"Nothing happened," Hikaru spoke, getting his boots on, leaving the house. He wasn't stupid, since Chrissy's mother had always gave him that look whenever they returned late at night. He never knew why though. He assumed that she was making sure that her daughter was safe. He typically had to only worry about himself. He was walking down the streets of Lumiose, heading towards his home, when his phone rang. He looked at it, and answered immediately.
"Hello Hikaru," a voice spoke, He knew the voice, but no one knows what he looks like.
"What do you have for me this time Mole?" Hikaru asked. Hikaru was the first person that the Mole calls when something happens.
"New student. Two days ago. That's all I'll tell you until you meet with them," The Mole informed.
"Been a while since Lumiose High School has had a new student. What are they, freshman?" Hikaru asked.
"You'll get more once you meet them," the Mole reminded.
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Hikaru sighed, the call being ended. Hikaru sighed again. "Stupid bastard won't even give me anything. He's an asshole," Hikaru told himself.
He continued the rest of his walk uninterrupted. Once at his home, he quickly made his way in. He kicked off his boots, heading up to his room. Once inside his room, he tossed his boots in the closet. He took off his shirt and pants, and fell on his bed. Hikaru fell asleep almost instantly, thinking about what they could look and be like...
