Chapter Five: Hikaru's Dates, Matsuko's New Boy.
Another two weeks for the two has passed. Hikaru decided to go on a simple date with his 'fiancé' this upcoming weekend then the day after that happens Matsuko owed him by going on a date with him as well. He finally had the opportunity of getting his license last week, hopefully getting his license so Matsuko wouldn't have to drive him around. After an hour of preparing himself for tonight he was actually quite anxious about it. He was worried most of the time knowing that he didn't spend no time with Ayamo except for the time their parents introduced the to one another.
As Matsuko was getting ready for her online extra classes she stopped by her roommates room to check up on how the dark ash haired man was doing, "Oi, Hikaru. You better not ditch the girl, she'll haunt you while you're sleeping."
"I know," he replied back opening the door showing his outfit for tonight, simple long sleeve dress shirt, black jeans, and white shoes, "It's simple, right?"
She nodded and showed him a thumbs up, "Now, go. I want my alone time."
Hikaru pouted at her and grabbed his wallet walking towards the door, "If something goes wrong, you call me."
"Yeah, yeah, mommy Hikaru. Have fun." She said closing the door on him while walking towards her room, getting prepared for her alone time. Matsuko's kind of fun is studying and staying home with no Hikaru around to bother her. As she was writing down some notes she thought about what might happen to the poor twin, 'I hope he'll be fine.'
While Hikaru was walking towards a semi-looking midnight black limousine to pick his date up, he texted Ayamo to inform her about coming in half an hour. Since he was picking her up half way across town. He was sitting in the back seat of the car and told the driver where we were heading to, of course the driver just nodded and drove to Ayamo's place.
'I wonder what Matsuko's doing,' he thought curiously, looking at his phone finding her contact name as he texted her waiting for him to arrive to his destination, "Matsuko, whatcha up to?"
A few seconds later Matsuko replied, "Hikaru, when you're on a date, you're not suppose to talk to anyone but the person you're with. Now, leave me alone."
The twin glared at his phone like he was glaring at the raven haired woman and sighed replying back to her, "Fine. Guess you don't love me, I see how it is."
"Who said I loved you anyways?" With a reply or an insult from Matsuko, Hikaru pouted to himself and left her alone since he arrived at Ayamo's place.
He immediately got out and saw Ayamo outside with a long black coat as he walked towards him and greeted him warmly, as the two came in the car going to their restaurant. The same restaurant that Matsuko introduced him to, Hikaru wanted to show his date that the food there was amazing.
"And done," Matsuko said to herself finishing the rest of the sentences to her homework. She felt accomplished as she did her little 'I'm finished' dance. She checked up on who was online and saw that everyone was offline, probably doing stuff and having lives compared to the workaholic woman. She also checked her phone and noticed that Hikaru didn't reply, thankfully.
'I'm so used to mom or Masato bothering me after I'm done that I forgot that I was living with only one person,' she frowned at the thought of it as she dialed her sister's number immediately.
After a couple more rings her sister finally picked up, "Yes, sis?"
"I'm bored. What are you up to?"
"Where's your roommate? Isn't she with you?" Masato asked.
Matsuko rolled her eyes, "You're not suppose to answer a question with a question. She's on a date with some girl."
"Did you say girl?"
Matsuko slapped her head as she stuttered out, "O-oh crap, I m-meant guy."
Her sister just laughed, "Aw, sis. I miss you, mom says hi. Anyways, got to go. I have to help mom with chores. Bye."
Matsuko replied with a 'bye' as she hung up and stumped on her bed, wondering what she could do. She snapped her fingers and ran out of the door locking it and went down to the lobby to spend time with Kaze, since he probably wasn't doing anything but sit down greeting people. Thankfully it was true, she walked towards the desk flashing the man a smile as Kaze raised his brow.
"Let me guess, you're bored," he said typing information on his computer as she sighed and nodded to him. The man chuckled and patted the younger girl's head then patted the seat next to him, "Poor Matsuko, here, have a seat."
She nodded and sat next to him, as he spoke again, "Hikaru's on a date, hm?"
"Pretty much."
As Hikaru and Ayamo were done ordering their food they decided to get to know one another since Hikaru was upset the first time when they met . They knew about their likes, dislikes, hobbies and everything. From everything Matsuko and Kyoya told him about the girl, there wasn't anything bad about her at all. He figured that the brunette liked to do a lot of sports, she's a great singer, and how she was planning to take over her Mother's designing business later in the future.
"So what happened between Matsuko and you?" Ayamo asked curiously making circles around her glass.
Hikaru didn't think about it until now, he actually forgot that Matsuko was playing the 'girlfriend' role as he looked across the room, "We broke up. It wasn't working out, for her I guess."
"What a shame, she's so blind. You're really amazing, it's her loss anyways. Besides it wouldn't last knowing that we might end up being together in the end." She said coldly as the man just shrugged. He didn't really care, since it was just a pretend relationship, nothing serious or anything. Yet Hikaru knew everytime someone breaks up with another person the friends, or anyone will say the same exact thing. 'They're blind' and 'It's their loss.'
As their food arrived they just ate until they were finished with their food. Which took less than thirty minutes since they both didn't eat much today. Hikaru looked at the dark brown haired girl and thought, 'She's actually not that bad, maybe Kaoru was right.' Ayamo caught the older twin staring at her as she blushed and looked away.
Hikaru tilted his head as he figured out why his date was blushing, which was obvious, "Sorry. You just look really nice tonight."
"Thank you, same goes to you," she said shyly as he grinned to her and stood up. Paying the bill giving a big tip then reaching his hand out to her as she grabbed his hand and left with him, going towards the car. Tonight wasn't as bad as he thought, instead he actually enjoyed the date with her.
"Kaze, I kicked your butt!" Matsuko shouted placing her cards on the desk as he sighed and handed her another twenty. His fourth twenty, "When you said you suck, I didn't think it would be this much!"
"Well, be happy," he said. He looked over her and noticed Hikaru walking towards them as Kaze waved to him, "Well good evening, Hikaru."
Hikaru smiled and waved back, "Evening to you too, Kaze. Matsuko, have you've been here?"
She nodded as Hikaru smiled, "Waiting for me to come home? Aw, and you said you didn't love me."
Matsuko slapped his arm, "No. I was playing poker with Kaze, I won one hundred bucks. Anyways, how was your date with, Ayamo?"
"It went well, she wasn't that bad actually," he explained showing a tiny smirk across his face, "you wouldn't mind that we postpone our date to next week?"
Matsuko wrapped her arms towards her chest, "And why's that?"
"Because I'm taking her to a second date tomorrow," Hikaru said with no hesitation as he came closer to her face, "unless you're jealous?"
The black haired woman scoffed, "You wish. Besides, I rather stay home doing my studying and playing poker with Kaze."
Hikaru just shrugged and went on his way towards his place as Matsuko stayed a while longer to help Kaze clean up. She wanted to owe him back immediately instead of waiting a whole week again, she sighed softly to herself.
"Someone's a little jelly, jelly," Kaze teased as Matsuko glared at the older man. She wasn't 'jelly', which means jealous, of Ayamo. The girl barely had one ounce of love interest in her roommate anyways. She decided to go out behind his back the next day.
"I think tomorrow I'll go out with my group, anyways thanks for a lovely night Kaze," she said walking towards the elevator and onto her way to Hikaru's place.
The next day went fast, Hikaru bothering Matsuko as always. Though Matsuko had the time to ask one of her friends about hanging out since Hikaru was going to spend time with Ayamo again. It was the evening once again, moonlight was shining bright along with the small stars twinkling in rhythm. After Hikaru left, not saying 'bye' to Matsuko, the woman had the opportunity to change into something good. She looked in her closet and grabbed herself dark skinny jeans, a flower tank top, a brown leather jacket and simple tan sandals.
She got a text from Ayano saying how she was in the parking lot as Matsuko ran out, locking the door, greeting Kaze and into her friend's car. As they were driving to the café they were going to they began talking.
"I'm surprise you wanted to go out. It's not like you," Ayano mentioned.
Matsuko smiled. It was true. She was always busy babysitting Hikaru and studying extra for school even if it was two more weeks away, "Aw, well, school's coming up, there's nothing to do, so why not. Right?"
"Of course. Anyways, café tonight are having some live performances. You should have brung Hikaru with us, that'd be fun!"
Matsuko rolled her eyes, "Gag me please."
"I heard your brother's at Paris, the views there are really lovely. It's worth seeing," Ayamo said before taking a bite of her food.
Hikaru nodded then replied, "I've only been there once, but it was when I was little. My friend Tamaki says that too since he went there."
"I should take you with me, if I ever go. Wouldn't that be fun?" She mentioned giving the older twin a warm smile.
"I suppose. Anywhere with me, is always fun," he said sarcastically, followed by a laugh. After that a dead silence followed by. Hikaru felt bad about leaving Matsuko home alone, hopefully he didn't hurt her by postponing their date together. He actually wanted to take her somewhere nice, as a thanks for sticking by him even if she didn't want to.
"Hm, Hikaru. You okay?" A voice rang as he looked over at nodded, "Oh okay, 'cause you looked sick or something."
"No, I was just thinking about something," Hikaru replied back.
"Oh, about what then, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Just thinking about how my brother's doing," he lied. As she nodded and continued to eat as he did too.
Meanwhile, Matsuko was with Ayano and Yumi drinking coffee and enjoying the friendly vibes and performances at the café, Paddy's. The woman had a great time, it's been a while since she hung out with the two. She was glad that Hikaru canceled their plans that day. As everyone kept talking and socializing one of the host tapped the microphone a couple of times before saying, "And here's our last performance of the night." Then came a guy, he had emerald eyes and brown hair, it was a messy layered style.
"Oh, he's cute," the three girls said in unison.
The man began strumming his guitar and began to sing. Just the beginning of the performance got mostly all the girls fall for him, or his voice. After his performance everyone was talking about how good he looks or how he sings. Matsuko felt a loud vibration in her pocket as she grabbed it out and checked who it was, it was Hikaru. She sighed and changed it to silent.
While that happened Yumi tapped her shoulder and whispered, "Hey, that cute guy's coming here."
By the time she looked over she was facing the guy, she thought he wasn't anything special but she had some attraction towards him. As they looked at one another awkwardly for a couple more seconds someone spoke up.
Yumi coughed catching everyone's attention then spoke, "So. How are you?"
"I'm fine."
"Yes, yes you a- I mean, that's great to hear," Matsuko smiled nervously.
The brunette chuckled and spoke again, "Mind if I sit with you guys?"
The three nodded as he took the seat next to Ayano, "By the way, name's Koichi."
'Phew, well wasn't that a swell day.' Hikaru thought unlocking his entrance door and into his place, "Oi, Matsuko."
No reply. He was curious that the girl didn't reply back to him, so he knocked on her door. Again, no reply.
"Okay Matsuko, I'm so-" Before he could finish what he was saying he completely froze and noticed that she wasn't around. He wandered around the apartment to look for his roommate, she was no where to been seen. He decided to call her, but it was just long rings replying back to him. Hikaru ran down and went to Kaze to ask him where Matsuko is.
"Kaze, where's Matsuko!"
"Why is it any of your concern?" The man answered back.
"Because."
"Because, what?"
Hikaru slapped his head lightly as Kaze talked once more, "She went out with Ayano, she'll be back soon."
As he finished his sentence the entrance door opened loudly as the two of them looked at that direction noticing Matsuko and Hikaru ran up to her, "You didn't tell me you were going somewhere!"
"Ew, I'm not suppose to. You're not my father," Matsuko said as she waved to the older man and began walking towards to elevator.
After that Hikaru obviously followed her since they both lived with one another. As they made it she immediately went into her room to change as Hikaru stayed in the living room waiting for her to come out since he was still curious on why she went out.
When the raven haired woman went out she spoke, "Today was great. I went to this open performance thing with Ayano and met up with Yumi. Then there was this one guy named Koichi that performed and he was so good. Not only that, he looks good too! We're even going to hang out."
Hikaru just scoffed, "So you're replacing me?"
"So you're being jealous?"
"I'm not."
"Yeah? Okay then. Well let me tell you something, it sucks getting your hopes up for something that you've waited days for," Matsuko just shook her head at the older twin as she yawned, "Well, I'll be going to bed now. Night, Hika."
"Night."
Hikaru was still up in his bedroom scanning through channels having a hard time falling asleep. He was thinking about the new guy Matsuko was talking about hours ago about how good or good looking he is, that in a way he felt jealous. He wanted to meet the guy actually, but then the ash haired male probably won't get to any time soon knowing that Matsuko would keep him away from Koichi. 'That's no fun, now I won't get to take her out anywhere now.' The man stumbled on thinking about what she kept saying. He didn't think that she was actually excited about him taking her somewhere. 'Why should I care? She has that pretty boy anyways.'
