Chapter three:

"No. I wasn't really paying attention." I admit as I realize I have no idea where we are in the lesson.

"Oh?" He blinks at me and pauses for a moment.

"Sorry." I say to him.

He turns away and stares down at his desk.

Oh no what did I do wrong? Did I say something wrong? Did he mean something else?

"You ok?" I ask while my mind is malfunctioning with thoughts of worry.

"Yeah I'm just thinking." Hikaru says in a tone of waving it off.

"Oh ok. But if you need me I'm still here." I assure him and look away looking down.

Darn it I messed up and now he's down.

The bell rings finally and I begin to put my stuff away in my bag to get what I need for next class.

Class was quiet and boring then before I knew it lunch time rolled around.

Hikaru rushes off after putting his stuff away and as I watch him leave I wonder what's going on with him recently.

Is there something bothering him?

If so then why won't he talk to me?

I don't get it. I don't get why he isn't turning to me now….. I try to calm myself telling myself that he's just going to see his friends….. I turn and finish putting my stuff away before heading to see what I'll get for lunch today. I get to the cafeteria only to have a few people turn to me with glares. I walk past them to go see what's to eat today.

No point in just giving them what they want which is to make me leave.

I look to the menu and I read what they have today. I finally decide on what to order and I get it.

After eating lunch I decide to hang out by the schools fountain for a bit.

No one's P.O.V.

Hikaru watches Kaoru from a window head towards the fountain before he slightly drops his eyes lids then he turns away rejoining his friends.

Kaoru's P.O.V.

I walk over to it and look down peering at myself in the water letting myself think about the recent changes in me and Hikaru's life.

The bell snaps me back to reality though and I hurry to class that passed by very quickly for me.

The end of the day bell rings and I turn to Hikaru.

"Say maybe you want to go to Opal's café?" I ask since it's one of Hikaru's favorite cafés.

"I have better things to do." Hikaru slightly growls at me before heading off.

I watch him go but I don't say anything instead I just gather my stuff only to head on out to leave.

Hikaru is going to hang out with his friends and I am not going to spoil his time with his friends.

I sit in the limo heading to the mansion alone. I watch out the window for a while allowing my mind to wander only for it to wander to me and Hikaru's younger days.

Those memories make me smile softly.

"We are here." The driver tells me.

I turn when he speaks. "Ok." I say a little absent minded as I am still thinking about my memories with Hikaru.

We pull up to the mansion and I am let out of the limo in which I decide to head to me and Hikaru's room.

I enter the room and toss my bag to beside the bed before heading to take a shower. I turned on the warm water and undressed only to enter the warm spray. I stand there for a few moments looking up with my eyes closed letting the water stream down my body. I shift my head down and open my eyes to avoid being hit by the spray of water the shower head is producing. "I know what I must do." I mummer to myself before actually starting to clean myself. "For Hikaru."

No one's P.O.V.

Hikaru calls for a limo now that him and his friends are done hanging out for today. He waits outside in front of the school for the limo to arrive and he wonders starts to think about the changes in his life with Kaoru. "But he seems to be pretty understanding about me wanting to hang out with my friends. So I don't need to worry." He heads over to the limo as it pulls up in front of the school.

The limo is soon on it's way to the mansion once again as Hikaru stares out the window.

Hikaru turns to look to next to him letting himself look upon the empty seat. He imagines Kaoru there for a moment before the image disappears. His eyes slightly narrow before he turns away to look out the window once again.

Once home he heads to take a shower and spots Kaoru in the living room working on something perhaps home work.

Kaoru's P.O.V.

Me and Hikaru didn't talk for the rest of the day and when I tried to talk to him he would snap at me.

I didn't do anything about it though and would let him be for a while as he would usually snap at me about leaving him alone.

The next day I saw more of him snapping at me….

"Say Hikaru." I begin just as class has ended and I had turned to him.

"Don't talk to me." He snaps. "Why don't you go find something to do that isn't bothering me."

So I spent lunch on my own again and when I returned to class I found that our desks were no longer against each other with Hikaru sitting in his desk.

It was about time for class to start and I didn't say anything about it or try to fix that.

And so day…

"Why can't you do something more worthwhile then bother me!? Can't you tell I'm busy?"

By day…..

"Just fucking go away!"

By day…

"Don't you have anything better to do then to be a pest?!"

I took his snapping and growling no matter what was said to me. I let me do this to me. I let him take his stress out on me.

Even as he continued to get meaner to me as he only attacks me with words.

Why do I take it? Why do I let him do this to me?

Well that is an easy one to answer.

On that one day I spotted a look of stress on Hikaru's face and I had realized that he is extremely stressed out.

So I take it and let him snap and growl at me so I may help him out.

He has helped for so long so I needed to repay him for such kindness and it's my time to help him out.

I began to slowly stop going to him whenever I need comfort in order to not stress him out anymore since I am trying to keep my progress from going backwards. I began just spending time on my own instead to keep it from being found out by Hikaru as I try to comfort myself on my own.

On the very first day I noticed it I had decided to take it to help him out no matter how bad it gets and I planned on keeping to this decision.

Little did I know the chain of event's I triggered with this decision.

AN:

The part of where Hikaru is snapping at Kaoru was meant to go on longer however I soon found myself bored so as to not bore you I made it go by quicker.

Hope it turned out good especially since I am writing some of this when I am sick.

Reviews are awesome and flamers will be used to make cupcakes!

Kaoru.
