I should be working on my program that's due in oh 24 hours... but I'm not!
Disclaimer: I don't own it... I really don't... aren't you surprised? I'm not _
Takeru sighed. He didn't want Dai to be that eager. He wanted a little reluctance on the others part. He looked around the room and cleared his throat.
"As I was saying, this has been going on for a couple years now. Two people have not acknowledged their feelings for each other for fear of hurting a good friend. Since it has to do with all three of us... well let's just say I want to get it all in the open. I'm sick of everyone having to live a lie."
Dai grinned widely. He was defiantly going to get Takeru now. He had been waiting all these years and it was finally time. He realized that the blond had stopped talking.
"Takeru, go on with the your rant. What's up?"
"I know that the two of you have tried not to hurt me by not following through with your feelings. It's just not fair to you; I don't want my two best friends to stay apart because you think that I am in love with Hikari. Because I am NOT in love with 'Kari."
Dai sat there in shock. This was not was supposed to happen. 'I don't like her... Girls... I don't like them at all?' He just sat there with a dead fish look on his face unable to comment.
"But... But... you..." stuttered Hikari.
Takeru took a deep breath and plugged on. " I don't even like girls at all. I already told Yama about that. I wanted the two of you to know next. That having been said, I want the two of you to with your feelings. I made you some reservations and got you some tickets to the movies." He smiled half-heartedly. "I have a date tonight two but I want to get all the details." Well, there was one lie in there. He had a date with a foreign film across town from where the other two were going to be. They would never expect him to be there. He stood and smiled broadly. "Let me go get the tickets so that you can go."
Takeru stood and went into his room and picked up the tickets. 'This is harder than I thought it would be. But if they are happy than that is all that matters.' He rubbed his temples and prepared himself to go back out to where he had left the others.
Meanwhile, Hikari and Daisuke looked at each other in complete and total shock. Hikari shook her head to try to clear thoughts. "What on earth just happened?"
Dai shrugged and said, "I have absolutely no idea but we _HAVE_ to set him straight."
Takeru reentered the room. He tossed the tickets to Dai. "Have fun guys." He then pushed the two brunettes out of the apartment. Closing the door, he yelled, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!"
He shut the door tightly behind them. He wrapped his arms around himself and sank into the couch. Tears were slowly making their way down the cheeks ashen from sorrow. "It hurts so much. Why does making others happy have to hurt? (A/N: No I am not writing angst.)
Outside the apartment, Hikari and Daisuke were waking down the street. Both were lost in thought, trying to convey to the other that they DID not like each other. Not in that way at least.
"Hikar-"
"Dai-" The two looked at each other. "You can go first, I don't mind."
"Hikari, I don't like you like that. I'm sorry. I don't know where Takeru got that idea but... I just don't."
Kari smiled gently at the boy. "That's ok. Because even if Takeru doesn't like girls I do. I'm dating someone you know."
"You are a...." Dai's jaw literally dropped. The night had been full of surprises, most of them not good. "At least one of today's surprises was good."
The girl raised an eyebrow at that statement. "Oh and which one was that?"
"That Takeru's gay. That means that I have a chance with him. I've like him since ... well forever."
Hikari shook her head. "Isn't this funny. You like Takeru; I like Sora; Sora likes me. But Takeru thinks that I like you and you like me. And to top it all off he is gay and has a date. How do we tell him that we aren't in love or anything of that sort? This is complicated."
"This would have been much easier if I had told him that I liked him when I first started to like him. But no I was too scared. Courage... hmph."
"As much as I would love to hang out with you, Dai. I have a date in a couple hours. So if you will excuse me I'll be leaving..." Hikari started to edge away.
"Oh no. You are in this too. You have to help me think of some way to tell our dear blond friend that we are in no way dating or anything of that sort. Ok?" Dai caught Hikari's arm and started to pull her back over to Takeru's apartment. "What should we tell him? I don't know how to tell him."
"Um, how 'bout the truth? That sounds pretty good to me. Doesn't that sound good to you?"
The pair walked to the elevator. Dai took a deep breath. 'He won't care if I'm gay, he's gay. It will be fine.' He looked over at Hikari who smiled reassuringly and grabbed his hand.
"Don't worry, it will be fine. Don't you think that he looked upset? I think that he was trying to make us happy by setting us up. He almost looked like he was going to cry. In fact he only time he didn't look like he was lying was when he told us that he was gay. If he has a date tonight I'll eat his old hat, nasty thing that it was."
The two left the elevator and knocked on Takeru's apartment door. Takeru sat up and wondered who would be knocking on his door. 'Maybe it's Yama... That would be nice.' He stood up and walked across to the door, wiping the tears away as he walked.
"What are you two doing here?"
A/N: Woohoo! That was easier than I thought. Now to go stare at the wonderful word of C++. _ Can't you feel my excitement? Does anyone actually understand that crap? Not me! I hate it hate it hate it!
Disclaimer: I don't own it... I really don't... aren't you surprised? I'm not _
