Chapter 10: The Thoughts in my Head
Kaoru's POV
"Hikaru?" I looked toward my brother's sleeping form.
"Hmm?" He replied sleepily with a slight turn of his head in my direction.
"D-do hmmm do you think she'll say yes?"
"Who are you talking about? Say yes about what?"
"Hikaru! Do you mean that you don't remember? I told you about it after we left school today."
"The thing about the beach trip tomorrow?" He mumbled rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Do you think she'll say yes? If she does say yes will you be okay with it? We might not spend as much time together like we used to. Especially if things keep going the way I hope they will with you and Haruhi."
"I'm sure she'll say yes. Who wouldn't want to date a Hitachiin? Right Kaoru? I won't mind Kaoru as long as you're happy and we can still hang out. What things that are going on between me and Haruhi?"
"I hope she does... and good. I love you Hikaru and if you love people you have to make sure you let them know okay? If you don't then you'll always ask yourself what if?"
"What are you talking about Kaoru I always tell you I love you."
"Nothing Hikaru just go back to sleep." He nodded in my direction then I could hear his light snores soon after.
"Well that didn't take long." I mumbled to myself turning a little in bed until I got comfortable enough. I lay there in bed next to my brother unable to fall asleep too worried about what I was going to do tomorrow. In frustration and annoyance I leave the bed and start walking around the house. Thoughts like "how am I going to ask her?", "what if she says no?", "does she even really like me?", and "could I handle her not talking to me if this doesn't work?". I didn't really have the answers to any of these questions, but they were the ones that kept buzzing around in my head like angry bees. I knew that I had to just man up and do it. How could I expect Hikaru to tell people he loves them when I myself am having trouble following my own advice? I can't. I need to just be a man and do it! Tomorrow is going to be interesting... I hope it all goes well.
Author's Note: Okay, so I was going to make this chapter a lot longer but then decided to just leave it as Kaoru's. Besides I haven't updated in so long and I really wanted to give you guys SOMETHING to tie you down until I figure out how I was going to finish this off. That's right folks not many more chapters before I get to say I've officially finished my first successful fan fiction!
