Ai's POV
I woke up to the sound of moaning and thought that Aya had fallen asleep in my room. I looked over to see if she was okay to find Kaoru there instead of Aya. "AHHHHHHH!" I screamed. Kaoru shot up right then and started to look around rapidly.
"What is it? What's wrong?" he asked not realizing he was in my room.
"Why are you in my room?!" I screamed at him.
He looked confused for a moment but then seemed to remember where he was because his face started to turn a deep shade of red. "Well," he started to say slightly shy, "I felt bad for what happened yesterday and wanted to come apologize but you were already asleep so I decided to wait until you woke up. So… I'm sorry for what happened yesterday." He was rubbing his neck the whole time explaining why he got mad. "I just felt so jealous when he was trying to flirt with you that I couldn't help it. I tried to get you to leave him and talk to me but you didn't come and I guess that was when I snapped." He finished.
I was red by the time he finished. That was the first time that I ever heard someone say that they were jealous that I was with someone else. I mean sure I dated before but no one ever said what Kaoru just said to me. I then realized that Kaoru was waiting for me to say something so I replied, "I understand but I was trying to talk to you but the girls you were with wouldn't let me through and one even pushed me." He looked sad and mad when I said that and I couldn't help but think he looked adorable. "Also if it seemed like I was ignoring you I wasn't. I thought you were ignoring me because whenever I looked in your direction it seemed as if you purposefully were looking away."
"I'm sorry," he said, "I didn't mean to make you think I was ignoring you."
I blushed even harder but didn't say anything. After a while I finally broke the silence and said, "Hey Kaoru?"
"Hmmm?" He responded looking up at me from the floor.
"How come you got jealous of Takahashi?" Kaoru scrunched his face when I mentioned Takahashi but he got over it.
"Well…," he started to say nervously. He got up to sit next to me and finished, "I got jealous because I really like you Ai."
I stared at him in shock. I wasn't sure if I even heard him right. Kaoru Hitachiin my crush just told me that he liked me. After a while I realized he was staring at me looking kind of scared at what I might say to him. I started to smile and that smile got really big. "You like me?" I asked shyly but still smiling. He shook his head and I couldn't believe it.
I surprised him and hugged him as tight as I could, not wanting to let go. I finally pulled back to look him in the eye and said, "I like you too." He smiled and we hugged again but this time it was him who was squeezing me. We were just hugging for a while when Aya cleared her throat.
"Ahem," she said, "I hate to interrupt your little love fest going on here but breakfast is ready."
Kaoru and I blushed and let go of each other immediately. We then started to laugh and walked out together. Aya was already in the kitchen placing the food onto the table. She made more food than normal, probably because we had Kaoru over. We finished eating and Kaoru got ready to leave. "Thank you for letting me borrow your shorts Aya. I'll return them to you soon." Kaoru said.
"That's alright. You can keep them." She said. We all laughed and then he promised to make it up to Aya for helping him out. Aya said goodbye and then left us alone to go change. I'm sure that she did that on purpose.
"Bye Kaoru and thank you for apologizing." I said not sure what to do.
He blushed and said, "No problem. I'll see you on Monday." Right when I was about to say something he lightly kissed me on the lips and ran away. I turned red and touched my lips while watching him run. This felt like the best moment of my life. I then shut the door and went to change like Aya.
When we finished getting ready we were going to go to the market and buy some groceries. We got there and bought what we needed. We got to the checkout counter and saw Haruhi. "Hey Haruhi." Aya and I said to her.
She turned around to see who it was and said, "Hi. What are you guys doing here?"
"Same as you. Groceries." I said while she finished paying. She waited for Aya to pay and we all walked together carrying what we bought.
"Where do you live Haruhi?" Aya asked.
"Just down that block." She said, "How about you two?"
"Down that street." We said pointing to a nearby street.
"Oh. Do you guys want to hang out later? We can drop off our groceries and meet at the market." She asked.
"Sure." I said.
"Sounds fun." Aya replied.
"Okay. We'll meet in like thirty minutes." Haruhi said. We all said our goodbyes and headed in our different directions.
"Haruhi seems nice." I said.
"Yeah, even though we hardly spoke to her I like her." Aya said. We got home and put our groceries away and then went to the market again to go meet Haruhi. When we got to the market I got a phone call.
"Moshi moshi?" I said through the phone.
"Hello? Ai? It's Haruhi. I can't make it anymore." Haruhi said disappointed.
"That's okay. How come and how did you get my number?" I asked.
"The guys came over and I asked if anyone had your number. Of course Kyoya-senpai did." She said.
"Oh I understand." I said.
Then I heard Tamaki yelling something in the background and Haruhi asked, "Would you like to come to my house instead?"
I told Aya about this and we both said yes. She gave us directions to her house and we got there in ten minutes. We rang the doorbell and Haruhi answered the door. Just then Hunny ran up to us and hugged us saying, "Ai-chan, Ya-chan!"
"Hi senpai." I said laughing as he hugged us. After Hunny finished hugging us Tamaki was complaining that he wanted a hug from his daughters too and when he tried we told him to get off and that he's not out dad. After that he went into a corner and started to grow mushrooms. After that Haruhi introduced us to her dad who was dressed like a woman. We found out that he likes to dress like a woman. We didn't really care because Aya and I have lots of boy clothes. After we were introduced we helped Haruhi make the food and hung out at her house all day. Kaoru and I didn't really talk much but we kept blushing whenever we made eye contact. It was getting late and we were about to go home when we decided to invite Haruhi to sleepover. That was a bad idea with the host club around.
