Hikaru's Confession

by rooflizards

This is in Haruhi's POV and is based on the anime starting somewhere after Hikaru and Haruhi's date, though there isn't an exact time I had in mind. This is based on how I think things could have gone during and after the anime if they were more-so pushing Hikaru and Haruhi as a couple. This will be multiple chapters, and at this time I don't have a specific end-point in mind.

3. Chapter 3

Eventually, Kaoru and I were able to get into a room by ourselves. Finally.

"Okay. So, again, don't worry about it, Kaoru. It isn't your fault I got upset," I said.

He nodded, waiting, I assume, for me to tell him everything.

"The other day, or, I guess a couple weeks ago, Hikaru came to my house. We talked for a bit, but then he... well, he told me that he loves me."

Kaoru looked a little surprised at this. I don't know if it was that he didn't know how Hikaru felt or if he just thought that he wouldn't say anything.

I continued, "I didn't know how to react, so I froze up, and before I knew it, he was gone. I still don't know what to say to him so I've kind of been avoiding him."

Kaoru shook his head, "Sometimes, the two of you aren't all too different. Just tell him how you feel. If you need to reject him, do it, but not talking to him isn't right."

I sighed, "I know. But the problem is, I'm not sure how I feel. And I don't want to end up hurting him."

"So avoiding him is better? You think that won't hurt him?"

"Well, I-"

"Listen, I get it, I really do. But you have to talk to him. You can't avoid it forever. And if you really don't know how you feel, then say that, I'm sure he'll understand. Just be open about how you feel. If he could do it, so can you. You're strong, Fujioka." He opened up his arms, offering me a hug.

I hugged him tight. "Thank you, Kaoru. I'm sorry for all this."

"Hey, save your apologies for my brother."
