Chap. 12
"Rin?" Aiko said, peeking through my bedroom door.
I was laying on my bed, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about what happened earlier with the twins. I looked over to where Aiko was standing. She was biting her lower lip with a worried expression on her face. I remained silent, signaling her to continue.
"G-gomenasai.." She said softly.
I only sighed. "Whatever, just forget about it." I said calmly. Aiko still had her concern look but nodded. "Let's get going." I said standing up, also grabbing my bag along the way for school.
When the driver dropped us off at the Academy, I noticed that the atmosphere was... I don't know... lighter?
"It seems that the students are really excited for Valentine's day." Aiko said glancing at a group of giggling girls.
"Today's Valentine's day?" I asked confused. "Rin you need to pay attention more. Valentine's day is in a few days, but looks like people are ready to confess to their crushes." Aiko giggled.
Me and Aiko parted ways when we entered the school's building. The bell hadn't rung yet but I figured I should just go to class since I have nothing to do anyways. I was about halfway towards my class when I felt two pair of arms link with mine.
"Let's go to class together, shall we?" Hikaru's voice was heard from the right.
I only blinked before I got dragged off by the two mischievous devils. Classes were boring like always, I paid attention to some and dozed off in others. The bell that signals for lunch rang and I had just walked out of my class. Before I could take another step, a hand grabbed my wrist and I turned around to see Daisuke standing there.
"Let's eat together." He said.
"Rin~ Why don't you eat with us? It's been a long time since we got to play with our toy." Kaoru and Hikaru appeared resting their arms on my shoulders.
Daisuke shot the Hitachiins a glare, which the twins ignored. "Haruhi!" I called out as soon as I saw the brown haired girl.
I walked over to Haruhi who had a bento box lunch in her hands. "I'm going to eat with Fujioka here." I said to Daisuke and the twins.
"Let's eat in the classroom." Haruhi suggested. I slighty nodded and we both walked in silence to class.
~In classroom~
"Aren't you going to eat?" Haruhi asked when she noticed I didn't have a lunch with me.
I shook my head slowly. "I'm not hungry."
...
"Valentine's day is coming up," I said, staring at the chalkboard ahead.
Haruhi remained silent, chewing her lunch slowly. "Aren't you going to confess?" I said, meaning, confessing to Tamaki.
Haruhi kept on chewing slowly but there was a light brush of pink across her cheeks. I smirked. 'I knew it.' "How did you know?" Haruhi asked when she finished swallowing her food. I shrugged. "I can see you blushing when he grabs your hand and drags you off somewhere." "Not to mention the way he treats you."
"He's an idiot at times." I heard Haruhi mumbled. Talking about Tamaki's fails.
I shrugged again. "He's your idiot though, right?" Haruhi didn't respond but I knew she was trying to hide her blush.
...
"The twins like you."
I stared at Haruhi with wide eyes. "What?" I said making sure I was hearing right.
"Do you not notice the way Hikaru and Kaoru are when Daisuke is around?" Haruhi asked tilting her head to the side a bit.
"The twins are going to get competive with Daisuke after that they'll get competive with each other." Haruhi said looking elsewhere.
The bell rung signaling the students to head back to class. "I'll leave first." I smiled slighty to Haruhi before exiting out of the classroom.
When I was walking towards my next class I couldn't help but replay the words that Haruhi had said earlier. 'Hmmm.." I thought.
~FF Dismissal~
"Rin." I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked over to see Daisuke smiling slighty.
"Hai?" I asked wondering what he wants. "Let's go on a date." He said smiling.
"O-oh umm... I have Host Club though," I said, when it popped into my head.
Daisuke didn't respond instead he grabbed my wrist and gently pulled me outside. "H-hey where are you taking me?" I half shouted.
"I told you, we're going on a date." Daisuke said turning his head back giving a charming smile.
I got tired from struggling so I gave up and let him take me to who knows where. We kept on walking to we reached a park. It was pretty sunny and the park looked really nice with the sun casting a light glow on top of the mint green coloured trees.
"What are we doing here?" I asked. "Not that I mind, though." I said afterwards.
Daisuke looked around seeing couples holding hands and laughing. He looked at me then at my hand before reaching out and lacing his fingers with mine. "I always see couples around here so.." Daisuke shrugged his shoulders.
We began walking, talking about oursevles and what we have in common, we shared a few laughs here and there and I have to admit, he did make me blush a few times. At first, I knew we would get along, but I just thought of it as getting along as friends. Now that we are actually going on a date and talking, I might think of him as more.
"There's an icecream vending machine over there. Do you want some?" Daisuke's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
I looked at Daisuke who was pointing to a ice cream vending machine not far from where we were. "Oh, yeah sure." I said smiling.
"Which one do you want?" Daisuke said pulling out his wallet. "Hmm...green tea." I said.
"One green tea and one vanilla ice cream please."Daisuke ordered handing the person the money.
Me and Daiuke were sitting on a bench, enjoying our cold desert. "I'm glad that I was able to make you enjoy yourself today." Daisuke smiled at me.
I looked up at Daisuke and smiled slighty. Suddenly there was a buzz that came from my phone and I picked it out from my pocket. It was a message from Hikaru. '...I don't recall a time where I gave him my number... Did I?'
When I looked at my phone I realized that Hikaru, Kaoru and Aiko have been sending me the same message over and over but I hadn't noticed.
-WHERE ARE YOU?- an hour ago from Hikaru
-WHERE ARE YOU?- half and hour ago from Kaoru.
-WHERE ARE YOU?- 10 minutes ago from Aiko.
-WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?- I read the one that was just sent.
-How did you get my number? I don't remeber giving you my number?- I replied back.
-WE GOT IT FROM KYOUYA AND WE WENT THROUGH YOUR PHONE TO ADD US TO YOUR CONTACTS! NOW ANWSER OUR FREAKING QUESTION! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!-
...
-I'm with Daisuke.- I sent the message before shutting my phone off.
"Who was that?" Daisuke asked. "Oh, it was the twins asking where I am." I replied honestly.
Daisuke nodded. "I should go home, I forgot to tell Aiko I was going out. She's probably throwing a panic attack." I said getting up.
"I'll walk you home." Daisuke said getting up also. I accepted his offer and we both began walking.
I didn't even get a chance to knock on the door when we arrived. Aiko had already bust the door open and tackled me in a bone crushing hug. "Where were you?" Aiko cried.
"Gomen for worrying you Aiko, I was only taking out Rin." Daisuke said patting Aiko's head.
I looked at Daisuke who just smiled good-bye. "Gomen, Aiko." I said patting Aiko's back.
Aiko pulled back and hit my arm softly. "If you hadn't come just now I would have called the cops." Aiko laughed.
"Awww, Aiko was worried for her older sister." I teased ruffling her hair. "Let's go inside." I said.
"You know, Even Hikau and Kaoru showed up here. You should have seen them, they looked like they were going to pass out or something. That's when I started panicking." Aiko said.
"They showed up here?" I asked looking up at Aiko from the couch.
