Chapter 2
Kaoru's POV
"Hi Kaoru!" he greeted me nicely.
I dropped my book and sighed. "Hi Hikaru."
It seems so stupid to act obviously that I'm so pissed off by him and that guy. I never tried to meet his eyes. Coz if I did he'll notice my madness. He smiled at me and went to the bathroom to take a shower maybe. It was too late for a high school guy come home at night. But I got my book again and continued reading. Ugh, so irritating to see such a guy who is actually your brother getting along with the person you superbly hate.
He went out wet. Of course he had to dry up first so he went straight to my side, only wearing a piece of towel on his lower body. So what's the story today?
"Did Haruhi come here to teach you math?" he asked.
Okay so maybe this is the best time to confront this guy about his doing. But I'm not yet a fully changed Kaoru. I still don't have the guts to confront anyone.
"Yeah, why?" I answered, not even looking at him.
"Did you learn from her?"
"I did."
"Will you look at me," he forcedly pulled me to look at him. But I looked down.
"What?" I asked irritatingly.
"What's the matter? Are giving in already that's why you can't see me wearing only a piece of this?" he asked teasingly.
Oh please Hikaru, don't use your charms on me coz they don't work anymore. I looked at him straightly. He smiled. Damn, this guy had a great night with Tono. His smile was explainable. He wasn't happy to see me. He was happy because Tono and he had a romantic scene somewhere over the rainbow.
"No."
I rejected him immediately and went back to reading. He pouted cutely. See, when madness reigns in your heart you can never feel any other emotions than that. That's what I had.
"Look Hikaru, I know you are tired. So why don't you just take a rest. Don't text anymore. You had the night. That was enough. I want to go to school tomorrow as early as possible. And I don't like waiting," I commanded, not looking at what might be his reaction.
He stood up and went to get some clothes. I can feel the disappointment in his expression. Damn, I was so mean I acted more than how he gets mean. I felt proud. But on the other side, I felt pity.
Coz I know he wants to make up but I didn't. It's a waste of time doing it I suppose. He went to bed and so I did. But I gapped a bit to lessen the awkward feeling. The feeling I'm telling is that I can't stand him touching my skin after he did with Tono. Tch, I'm still too sensitive.
Morning, I woke up hugging my pillow and facing him and him facing me too. I stood up immediately. "Hikaru, wake up now."
He groaned and stretched a bit and opened his eyes. "Okay."
I went immediately in the bathroom to take a shower. I can hear him talking with someone. Well maybe Tono. I went out only wearing a piece of towel wrapped around my waist and another towel to dry my hair. He dropped his phone as soon as he saw me.
"You, done?" he asked innocently.
I nodded and opened the closet. He went to the bathroom. Ugh, it's the beginning of the day and yet he manages to call up that bastard. Like hello, it's too early to start a new flirtation. I had my clothes and I put it on. I went downstairs and had my breakfast alone. Mom went out for a business trip and dad- I don't know maybe out to see some investors.
"A cup of tea, young master?" the maid asked politely.
I shook my head. I didn't like tea. It makes me looks like an old man. I heard heavy footsteps along the stairs. Hikaru might've thought I already left or whatever, it was still early.
"What are you rushing for?" I asked.
He inhaled and exhaled swiftly. "I'm late," he answered.
I raised one eyebrow. What does he mean? This is not the usual time that he goes to school. It's even too early for me to go too. "Huh? It's too early," I questioned.
He sat down and faced me. "What time is it?" he asked.
"Ah, 6:30?" I answered rudely.
He calmed down as soon as he heard my answer. "Eat your breakfast now," I said.
When he was finally done to his food, we went to take a ride in the limo. I looked through the window. The weather is good. I hope my day will be as good as I started it. I looked at him from the corner of my eye, he is busy texting. Tch, again it's still morning to start a new flirtation.
W e reached the school; I went out first then him. Tono was already waiting inside. I saw him carrying some books. As I walked past him, I didn't give any look to him. But he greeted me.
"Good morning, Kaoru."
And then Hikaru went immediately to him. And I still hear them talk though I'm a bit far from them.
"Hi Hikaru," said Tono.
"Tamaki, do you have to carry these things to come here in school?" Hikaru said.
He never called him Tono since they started their love story. And that gives me creeps. I never expected them to end up with this kind of situation. They are too slow to realize their true feelings but they easily got it when they confronted each other about it.
Oh man, it still hurts when I remember the day when Tono told him he loved him.
Then someone knocked me on my back. "Kaoru!"
I looked behind me and yes it was Haruhi. I smiled at her and helped her carry her things.
"Oh, thank you. So this is what you get when you are alone?" she teased me.
I just smiled and continued walking. Her presence was enough to complete my day. We went to our classroom together, talking about the silliest things we've done with the host club. But I went silent for a while. The host club. It was still great not until the two decided to be together.
"You okay?" she asked.
I nodded. I lied again. But she seems to know my real emotions.
"It's going to be okay. You'll get used to it. You just don't know, there are more surprises on store for you," she convinced me. Yes, maybe there are still better things that wait ahead of me.
I sat down and waited until or teacher comes. I heard Hikaru laughing along the wide corridors. I looked through the window again. The sun is being covered by the clouds. The weather is changing as well as my mood.
"Kaoru!" I heard someone call me. I looked behind, it was Haruhi. She showed me Hikaru and Tono about to kiss. I felt sudden anger.
"HEY!" I shouted.
And the two looked at my direction. "Haruhi, stop playing with my hair!" I alibied.
"Okay fine," Haruhi played along.
The two looked at us confusingly until they turned their backs and Hikaru bid good bye to Tono and Haruhi and I high-fived and laughed quietly.
