Notes: I'm not even sure if I should have Hikari in this chapter or the fic. I'm putting in time and day from now on. Let's just continue and see what happens.

Takeru POV Day: Monday Time: 7:13 a.m.

I walked over to him.

"Do you want to go to my oniichan's concert? I can give you a free ticket?

How about it?"

"Okay, but when is the concert and what time?

"It's this Friday at 8:30 p.m. If you want to bring someone, you can."

"No, I can't think of anyone that would want to go with me." He said with his head hung down. "Are you taking Hikari to the concert?" He asks.

"Iie." He lifts his head up to look at me.

"Huh? Isn't she your girlfriend? Why aren't you taking her?"

"Ja, I don't know why everyone thinks she's my girlfriend. Yeah she's my friend and I known her for a long time but that's it."

Daisuke was now looking at me like I said it in a different language.

"So you don't like her?"

"so da ne."

"So, who do you like then?"

(How am I going to say this without really saying it?)

"Um.. It's someone you know."

Daisuke raised an eyebrow at me

"Hontou? Is she in our class?"

"Uh? Yeah and you know this person better then anyone else does."

"I promise I won't tell anyone, onegai?."

I look outside to see we're at the stop near school. The bus slows down to stop.

"Douzo." I said quickly and gave him the concert ticket in his hand. I swiftly left the bus and went in the school grounds. I sighed.

(That was too close for comfort)

Hikari came running up to me cheerfully.

"Ohayou Takeru-kun! I heard your brother's concert is this Friday. Are you taking somebody?" She said with hopefulness in her voice.

(Geez! What the hell am I suppose to tell her? Oh yeah, I'm taking Daisuke because I'm gay and I'm just your friend.Yeah, That would really work.)

"Uh, why do you ask? I can't afford any tickets."

(Hopefully she'll buy that.)

"What do you mean? Your brother is the singer of the band, you can get them for free."

(Damn forgot about that)

" 'kari-chan, you know I'm you friend, right? And that are bond is strong and it always will be?"

"Yes, I do." Her eyes our all shining.

"But that bond is just friendship, and we'll always be friends, okay?"

"Wha-what do you mean, Takeru?" She starts to tear up.

(Please don't cry Hikari, I can only like you as a really good friend.)

"I can only be your friend Hikari, please don't cry."

"Why? Why don't you like me? We known each other for years, and I-I thought you liked me and I-I wanted to be more than a friend to you."

"Sorry, but I wish I could be more than a friend to you." I put my hands on her shoulders.

"Why can't you, Takeru, why?"

(Should I tell her? I mean she can keep it a secret and she would understand why I can only be her friend.)

"Okay, I'll tell you why? Do you really wanna know why?"

"Yes please tell me." She tries her best to not cry.

"Fine, where do I start?" I inhale a deep breath in and out. "If I tell you, you have to promise to not get mad at me."

"I won't get mad, I promise."

"This might shock you, but I-I.

(Man! This is harder than I thought it would be!)

I closed my eyes. "I'm ga-ga-gay." I still had my eyes close.

(Please don't slap me..Huh? She's not talking.)

I slowly opened my eyes to see a shocked Hikari, but her face changes into one of understanding and she smiles.

(Huh? Wh-Why is she smiling?) I had a confused look on my face.

Just when I was about to ask her why she was smiling the bell to class rung. I started to run for class.

"I'll see you at lunch, 'Kari!" I yelled to her.

I swiftly dodged people here and there to get to class. I swooshed in the class door before my teacher closed it, lost my balance and fell to my side on the cold wooden floor.

"Itai.."

(That was a nice way of starting my day.)

I looked up to see everyone laughing, but one, Daisuke. I quickly got up, went to my seat behind Daisuke before I could get laughed at more and slumped down. I covered my face on the desk with my arms, when I heard the teacher talking I lifted my head to see Daisuke looking back at me with a sorry look.

(I hope the whole day isn't like this.)

Translation: iie - no, ja - well or umm..., so da ne - That's right or yeah (as in responding to a yes or no question.). Hontou?- Really?, onegai- please (as in a request or favor.) Douzo- here you go. (when giving or offering something to someone. My mom always says it before she gives me food.) Ohayou - (same as before). kun - (a suffix for a guy friend. You don't shorten the name.). chan - (a suffix used to younger members of the family, to friends that are girls or to a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Names can be shortened with this.) itai - oww
