This chapter is in Kaoru's POV (at lmncake's request) and is based on Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.
It appears as if Hikaru is having an almost religious moment judging by the constipated look on his face as Haruhi stands patiently by his side waiting for him to surface from his 'philosophical' thoughts.
Well, if I were to be precise, Haruhi is not patiently waiting for him but merely tolerating his sudden lapse of mind of which I am sure is aggravating her greatly. Does he not understand that Haruhi is well able to see through his many ruses? She sees through our ruse on a daily basis when we play the "Which One Is Hikaru?" game of which she is able to distinguish between us on every occasion we have 'encouraged' her to play. Of course when I say 'encouraged', many people may define our gentle prodding as provoking but I for one do not acknowledge that we 'provoke' people.
I may admit that we gently antagonise others whom are perhaps a bit unacquainted with our style of teasing.
I ponder for a brief moment if Hikaru is deliberately attempting to piss me off but I must admit that his little scheme is beginning to annoy me. I wish that he will just stop beating around the bush as it is simply not getting anywhere. Those two can be as oblivious as each other when they feel like it.
But as I quickly scan the face I so often to see gazing back at me, I come to a sudden conclusion that he is completely unaware of how to seduce a girl he actually likes as opposed to one of the clients in the club. It may not seem apparent to others but then again they haven't spent nine months wrapped around each other in a tiny space, have they?
And as my twin logic breaks yet new grounds, I finally fully comprehend that I really must spell out their obvious attraction for one another as number one they are both way too stubborn for their own goods and number two they can also be quite dense when they want to be. And it is evident by the exaggerated sighing emanating from Haruhi's mouth that she is becoming increasingly aggravated with his listlessness. And to be quite frank, I agree with her aggravation. It is quite annoying when he becomes completely unresponsive. I have to deal with him every day, I know what makes him tick, I know what he is thinking about, I know what he will think about and most importantly, I know that he doesn't grasp the concept of flirting when he actually likes a girl. I suppose if our clients were to know the truth, they would categories him as endearingly cute. But no, that is certainly not the adjective I am searching for. He is anything but shy, he just tends to be quite slow to the uptake.
He is not very observant but I plan to change that. And with a mumbled excuse and many puzzled looks, I swiftly leave the grand 'music' room before sliding my phone out of my pocket. I scroll through my contacts with a furrowed brow as I search desperately for the number I am sure will benefit me the most at the present moment. Ahah. "Ah yes? Sir Hitachiin, I believe that you will be arriving to the summer house shortly along with your friend Miss Haruhi Fujioka," James, our English butler questons. Really, isn't James such a cliché for a butler? To be fair, he is quite excellent at his job so I can only hope that he will carry out the task I will set him effectively because my sanity depends on it. If Haruhi and Hikaru don't get together soon, I may just lose my last thread of sanity and promptly roll naked in a vat full of mud.
Apologies for this incredibly late update but life has been busy... this is the first time in ages that I haven't had to update about studying for a test or whatnot, so I thought I am going to write a new chapter straight away for my amazing reviewers!
Please read and review :)
Any song/anime recommendations? :)
