Hikaru led you to the garden, and after you got there, he took your hand instead of having your arm looped with his.
You look ahead and then back at him, "Why did you want to go for a walk?" you ask.
"Well, it gets us alone, doesn't it?" he winks.
You blush and try to tell yourself that he doesn't like you, he's just doing his job... but you can't help it. You feel like you're starting to fall in love with him...
"Oh..." you mutter.
Hikaru starts leading you towards a tree and suddenly he trips, pulling you down with him. You land...
On top of him.
Blushing harder, you lift yourself up off of him enough to see that...
He's blushing too!
Meanwhile, back with Mikara and Kaoru...
Mikara and Kaoru are just sitting, talking, when Kaoru seems to realize something. Putting his arm around Mikara, he smiles and moves closer.
"You know, we're alone now," he smiles, "I've never had a more beautiful girl sitting beside me, you know."
Mikara smiles and blushes a bit. She's had a crush on Kaoru for a while, but never told him. The only way she got to spend time with him was in class or in the Host Club, so she was a frequent designator.
"Thank you," she smiled back.
Caressing her cheek in his hand, he traced the outline of her face with a finger, "You look so delicate," he says, "Very beautiful."
Mikara had managed to stop blushing, but that brought it back. Her face red, she simply smiled shyly.
Kaoru started leaning in... closer... and closer...
"For you," he said, pulling out a rose and passing it to her, "Even though it's not as lovely as you."
"Thank you," Mikara blushed, her lips brushing Kaorus ever so slightly since he had gotten so close... so... close...
Back with you and Hikaru!
Hikaru sits up, his knee poping up between your legs, and looks up at you.
"Sorry," he apologizes.
"It's alright..." you mutter, realizing where his leg is, and wishing it wasn't. You aren't used to boys acting this way towards you, and you hope you get over it soon.
"Hey, there you are Hikaru, have you seen..." a voice sounds from behind Hikaru. You look up to see Kyouya (mom) standing with an eyebrow raised, "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt..."
"You weren't interrupting anything..." Hikaru tells him, helping you off of him and you both stand up, "Now what do you want to know if I've seen?"
"I wanted to know if you knew where your brother and his designator went. They slipped out when I wasn't looking, and I can't find them," Kyouya explains.
"Sorry, haven't seen em since we left," Hikaru tells him, "Do you mind? I'm a little busy."
"Of course," he answers, nodding to you as he leaves.
Hikaru turns back towards you to see you're heading up towards the tree.
"What are you doing?" he asks.
"Sitting down," you smile, trying to act like nothing happened and starting to get over being surprised, "Are you coming?"
Smiling, he heads up to sit beside you under the tree. He places a hand on yours and looks into your eyes. He starts leaning towards you.
"W-what are y-you doing?" you stutter in spite of yourself.
Closer and closer...
"Isn't it obvious?" he asks, smiling and almost close enough that if you move forward a few inches your lips would be touching.
Close and closer...
Until...
Until...
Hikaru stops leaning in when he's a few centimetres (sorry to those of you from the US or elswhere, I'm Canadian, lol ) away. He stares into your eyes, smiling.
"You still haven't told me what you're doing," you almost whisper, blushing just enough that your cheeks are pink.
"I thought it was obvious..." he smiles back.
Meanwhile!
Kaoru decided to take Mikara into the garden too... Kyouya was just to silly to look for them near the very back, beside a rose bush.
Mikara was laying on her side, head rested on her bent arm, smiling up at Kaoru, who was laying facing her, his head proped up on his arm. He was smiling and playing with the stem of a rose he was holding in his other hand.
"Where do you think my brother went with Tsuki?" he asks.
"They came out here too," Mikara answers.
"Oh? Why don't we go find them then? When we do, we can go back to our mansion," he winked at her.
"But... what about the club?" Mikara asked.
"It's almost done anyways... Come on then," he stood up and offered Mikara his hand.
Taking it, she stood up, but he didn't let her go. They walked together hand in hand looking for Tsuki and Hikaru.
"Hey, is that them?" Kaoru pointed at two shillouettes under a tree.
"Probably, lets go find out!" Mikara said, starting towards the tree.
Back to you!
You're staring into Hikaru's eyes, resisting the urge you have to just push forward and make your lips connect. You wait and then...
"OY! TSUKI!" you hear Mikara from behind you, "There you are!"
She smiles and runs towards you. At the same time, Hikaru backs away, looking a little displeased. Kaoru, following behind Mikara, gives Hikaru a questioning look, but says nothing.
"Hi Mikara," you smile, wanting to hit yourself for being mad at her. She's your best friend, it isn't her fault she interrupted... she didn't know.
"What are you two up to?" she asks, still smiling.
"Nothing," you answer, smiling back.
You notice Hikaru get up, so you do too. He walks over to Kaoru and they start talking in whispers. You wonder what they're saying, but Mikara takes your attention away from them.
"Kaoru invited us over to his mansion, want to come?" she asks, smiling more.
"But... mom and dad expect me home soon... I have to studdy..." you answer regretfully.
"Oh... Tsuki!" Mikara pouts, "Call them again, you don't need to studdy! You're going to pass for sure!"
"No, it's alright," Hikaru smiles, "She can come over tomorrow, after her test. That alright?"
You nod and feel bad since Mikara seems dissapointed. It even looks like her pigtails drooped. Either way, you can't loose you're spot in this school because you didn't studdy... If you drop out, you'd loose so much...
Like being able to see Hikaru every day...
You jump, surprised at what you just thought, and realize you do like him... quite a bit.
