Hikaru felt both excited and nervous. He had a chance with Haruhi. Would she accept his feelings? Go out with him? Kiss….him? He could feel the pink rising to his cheeks.
He and Kaoru arrived at school to their class. "Just a sec Hikaru I forgot my book in my locker. I'll catch up." Kaoru said running towards their locker area.
"Silly Kaoru, we just got here and already aren't prepared for classes." He continued walking and heard what he thought was crying. "Huh?" He followed the noise and came across an abandoned classroom. 'We sure have a surplus of abandoned rooms don't we?' Hikaru thought.
He walked in and found Tamaki sitting in a window sill wimpering. "Boss, are you okay." Tamaki turned around startled by the appearance of the first year, but quickly blew off his comment. "Huh, uh, no. I was just. Well you see. I wasn't." Hikaru stopped the bumbling idiot. "Is this about Haruhi." Tamaki looked shocked at the sincerity. "No, it's about my grandmother. She passed away last night."
"Im really sorry senpai. That must be hard." Trying to comfort him Hikaru then added. "Hey, think of it this way. Now you don't have to worry about her disapproving of every step you take." Tamaki smiled slightly. "Thanks Hikaru youre the last person I expected to do this." Hikaru gave a hurt look. "What! I cant play Kaoru for a day!" Tamaki gave an instant response. "No" Hikaru was confused now.
"Kaoru has a more compassionate side that makes him a bit more innocent than you, but now I'm baffled because you have one too. Wait….Are you Kaoru." They both laughed. "Very funny, you've been telling us apart more easily though. What your secret." Tamaki looked out the window. "No secret really. As I spend more time with you two, I notice the tiny differences between you. Once I see them, they become more prominent." Hikaru was shocked.
"Wow, that amazing Boss. I didn't know you thought like that. Well, now that youre not crying like a baby I've got to get to class." Hikaru started walking away laughing. "WAIT! Hikaru I have a question." Hikaru turned around. "What?" Hikaru was a bit snervous.
"Do you like Haruhi." He said. " I don't know." Hikaru could feel him staring into his soul. "Stop lying…." Hikaru was now scared beyond belief. "W-w-wh-h-aa—a-t-t-t—b-b-b-u-ut-ttt—I." He could feel death nearing him. "You should just ask her out." Hikaru almost passed out and felt the non existent bullet go through his- wait. "Wait, are you being serious."
"Yes Hikaru, Im not joking, do it." This coming out a little assertive. "Why?"
"Why not." Hikaru was stunned. "Why are you telling me to. Doesn't she like someone else." Tamaki wanted to face palm. "Yes, She does. Which is why I'm telling you this." Hikaru finally realized it. "Ohhhh, you want me to sabotage!" Tamaki pinched his arm. "Ok, Im going to put this simply. Haruhi likes someone who I am talking to right this second." Hikaru felt his heart jump. "MM-m-ee!? Haruhi likes me." Tamaki walked out of the classroom. "Hey dummy, your late for class." Hikaru took two minutes to compose himself. He walked out, still in shock, to his class. Where he sits, right by Haruhi.
He sat down and noticed Haruhi wasn't there. "Mr. Hitachiin, if your going to be late. Please have a note." Hikaru forgot the fact that he was even in class. "Yes, I understand." They were ten minutes into class, but Hikaru was good at this subject. Kaoru was already there giving him a suspicious look. Then somehow communicating through telempathy.
'Hey what the heck, I had to go back to my locker yet somehow, you were later than me.' Hikaru gave him a hard stare. 'I had some serious business to take care of.' Kaoru rolled his eyes. 'Such as!' Hikaru couldn't help but smile a goofy grin. 'I'll tell you later'.
Hikaru then rose his hand to answer a question. 'Whats wrong with him, he hates school. Even if he likes the class, he doesn't answer questions.' Kaoru needed to know what was going on.
Haruhi came in not long after their telepathic conversation. "Mr. Fujioka. Thanks for making an appearance." Haruhi walked towards him with a piece of paper. "Sorry sir, unexpected doctor's visit." She handed him the note and walked towards her desk. "At least someone knows how to bring a note." Hikaru ignored the death glare thrown his way. He couldn't but to stare at Haruhi as she sat down.
Did she really like him? Was this a dream? Did Kaoru drug him? He was lost in his thoughts when Haruhi tapped on his shoulder. "Did you guys get any of the notes?" He blushed and looked out the window. Haruhi was confused but quickly turned towards Kaoru to ask the question whether Hikaru was sick or something.
Hikaru looked back about five minutes later to find her scribbling away at her notebook. She was so smart.
Haruhi looked out of the corner of her eye and saw him staring at her with a light pink on his cheeks. 'Is he dying?' She thought while scribbling down her notes. 'Mabye I should ask him after class.'
They continued on with their day until it was time to go to the host club. "Haruhi, what are you doing after school today." Kaoru asked her innocently. "I don't have any plans for today. Actually I just plan on lazing around this weekend." Kaoru forgot it was even a Friday. "Cool." He walked towards Hikaru to tell him the good news.
"Hikaru, who's your favorite brother in the world." Hikaru gave him a blank stare. "Kaoru, I'm not answering a question that answers itself." Kaoru looked hurt but happy. "Hey what was you important business from earlier." Hikaru had to remember what he was talking about. "Oh, Tono told me Haruhi likes me." He said trying to be nonchalant. "WhHAtT?! This is amazing! I don't have to deal with a moping brother anymore!" Hikaru's glared at his twin. "Way to stick the daggers straight in Kao."
They had to stop their conversation to wait on the girls. Hikaru was in the middle of doting on his brother when he looked up. Suddenly breaking character was something neither of the twins did oftenly, and if so, it must have been an emergency.
"Hikaru why don't you look at me. Did you find someone more special." Hikaru, realizing Kaoru noticed the break shook his head a little, and went back to doting. "Kaoru, of course not. I was deciding whether to feed you the chocolate or the strawberry cake." Kaoru was impressed by the save. He stepped up the game a bit. He called it Extreme nosebleed mode. They had practiced it before but never used it. Too much excess blood on the floor.
"Hikaru, you know the only cake I'll eat is the one you make for me." Hikaru was shocked with his approach to this method, but needed something exciting to keep him in character. "This time we have to wear more than just our aprons though. We had some peeping maids last time." Kaoru smiled inching closer. "They always like watching our shows though." He inched till he was mere centimeters from his brother. "Very….Entertaining." This was Hikaru's cue to do his thing. They'd practiced so it was really no issue. With that in mind He envisioned Haruhi as he leant down. Kaoru knew this too and thought of a girl from his Math class. They both closed their eyes.
The fangirl squirms were deafening until a crash followed by extreme silence. Hikaru opened his eyes startled. He was met face to face with a very unconscious Haruhi. He looked up at the girls phones pulled out. He got hit in the head and didn't even realize what had happened. "Can someone explain what just happened," asked Kaoru. Hikaru was thankful he didn't have to explain this. Kaoru had got pushed to the ground and Haruhi was limp in Hikaru's arms. Tamaki had rushed over but was calm and rational. Which scared Hikaru even more.
"Here I was recording before everything and got it all on video!" Said a short blonde in the front. Hikaru motioned for her to come near. Not wanting to move the currently knocked out girl in his lap. Selfishness or Kindness. He couldn't decide. They hovered around her phone watching it play out before them.
Hikaru and Kaoru were almost about to kiss when Haruhi tripped over a chair leg flying out. Hitting Hikaru in the head with a tray of tea wear and hitting her head on the chair falling into his arms. Also knocking Kaoru down in the process. But the one thing that everyone else saw that sent Hikaru into shock was that. In the process of falling and moving Kaoru. She replaced him and being hit by a tray made him crash into her. Leaving a small peck on her lips.
Every girl erupted into screams about Yaoi and love triangles. Hikaru was concerned of the still unconscious girl in his lap. Who he had moments ago technically kissed.
He was rushing Haruhi down the hall before he knew it to the nurses office. To get away from the girls screaming, maybe. To be alone with his thoughts, kind of. Mostly He wanted to get her awake and see if she remembered anything. She got knocked out before the kiss, but at least she liked him. It will definitely be easier to tell her that and confess all in one go. He reminded himself to thank Tamaki for being such a big mouth later, but for now he needed to get to the nurse.
The nurse told him that their was no damage that she could see other than a big bump. Told him he was a loyal boyfriend and which he blushed and said let her rest and bring her in for a concussion test next week if problems or headaches increase.
About three hours later the school advisor notified him that club activities were over and he had to leave. He lifted up the still knocked out Haruhi and started down the hall. He had two options. Take her home and get brutally attacked by an overbearing father for causing the sleep like death, or take her with him home where his staff of nurses (And him) could take care of her. He could also just be really wanting to confess. So he decided on option two. Haruhi, is going to have a sleepover with the twins.
