It's weird, I have SO many ideas for this story, I'm so excited to start writing!
This whole chapter is dedicated to the Hitachiin twins POV! It is extra super long, I didn't actually intend for it to be this long..
But you guys don't mind, right?
Right?
RIGHT?
Good...
This will explain why Hikaru is still a jerk...
Enjoy this extra super duper unnessicarily long chapter!
Kaoru POV
"I'm fine.." Dani said, through gritted teeth. He opened the club door and slammed it shut. My stomach dropped and I immediately regretted my actions.
"I think we just made Dani cry... " I said quietly
Hikaru and I were so angry about Dani finding out Haruhi's secret, we acted without really thinking about what we were doing...
"What a baby, can't even take a joke." I heard Hikaru say under his breath. Before I could react to Hikaru's asshole comment, I felt a fist connect squarely with my head. I dropped to the ground. Out of the corner of my I saw Hikar drop to the ground as well. Haruhi stood over us, her face completely red.
"What the hell is wrong with you guys?" She yelled in a way I've never heard her yell. "He hasn't even been in the club for a week and you already made him upset!"
"He overreacted! We didn't expect him to start yelling and thrashing around like a toddler!" Hikaru yelled back, clutching the back of his head.
"He overreacted? HE overreacted?! Says the guy about to hit him with a baseball bat!" Haruhi yelled, flames in her eyes.
I was keeping my mouth shut. Yeah... We were completely out of line and I wanted to go and apologize to him. Haruhi doesn't need to tell me any differently. Hikaru doesn't realize this apparently..
"I wasn't going to actually hit him! I knew Kyoya would have stopped us! I just wanted to show him this was a serious matter!"
"Hikaru, you're so dense! You scared him! And I don't care that he knows I'm a girl! He's part of the club, he was going to find out anyways!"
Hikaru stood up and got right in Haruhi's face.
"I was just trying to help you Haruhi! Why are you taking Dani's side?" Hikaru yelled, obvious hurt in his eyes.
"Hikaru... Just give it up..." I said quietly.
He turned around. He glared at me, shaking in anger.
"You're all idiots for letting him into the host club! I... I hate all of you!" He yelled at the host club..
We were all speechless.
Hikaru has never exploded like this. It was worse than when we pretended to fight to go to Haruhi's house. Except... This was real..
He ran out of the room and slammed the door behind him. I didn't follow him, like I usually do. I was rooted to my spot on the floor. I was overcome with emotions. I was mad at Hikaru for being so stubborn, I was mad at Haruhi for provoking him to to say those things, I was worried about Dani, I was infuriated with myself...
"Kau-Chan, Hika-Chan doesn't actually hate us, right? He didn't mean anything he said..?" Hunny asked in a hurt little voice.
"I don't think so Hunny-Senpai, he's just mad... and he overreacted."
We all know of Hikaru's feelings for Haruhi, (Well, everyone except the Boss and Haruhi, but they're pretty oblivious about everything) but what confuses me is why he hates Dani so much. He hasn't like him since the first time he walked through the classroom door.
Haruhi walked over to me, and helped me back to my feet. " I'm sorry for hitting you, but you really shouldn't have treated Dani like that." She said.
"Yeah.. I know..." I said in a guilty voice.
Kyoya all of sudden stepped up. " Daniel isn't going to tell anyone Haruhi's little secret.I can guarantee that. The problem is now fixing you and your brother's little outburst." he said calmly, writing in his little black notebook.
"How do we even fix this?" I asked
"I think all you need to do is show our little newbie that you guys are truly sorry and beg for forgiveness."Tamaki said.
"I don't think a simple apology will do any good, but.. It's better than nothing I guess." I said.
"Hold on Tamaki, you're not off the hook either.." Kyoya interrupted. "if I recall correctly, when Haruhi got hit with the door, you pushed Daniel out of the way and yelled at him."
Tamaki's jaw hit the floor. I guess Boss wasn't use to his BS being called out. I snickered a little bit, but then received another slap to my head by Haruhi.
"B-B-Bu-But But But.. I was w-worried about Haruhi... a-and he was-" Tamaki stuttered.
" I don't care Tamaki, you overreacted as well. So did you Hunny-Senpai.."
Hunny had the look of a kicked puppy dog. "I didn't mean to make Dani-Chan sad.. " he said, clutching onto Usa-Chan. "You gave to apologize to Daniel tomorrow, Mitsukuni." Mori said to him. "Okay, Takashi! I'll apolgize tomorrow!" he said, smiling. "Alright, due to your over-reactions, Hunny Senpai, Tamaki, and the twins will apologize to Daniel tomorrow during the club time. Let's hope he will actually forgive you. I know I wouldn't forgive you if I was In his shoes, but it's worth a shot." he said, smiling.
Damn you, you sarcastic little...
"You should go find your brother now and head home. See you all tomorrow." Kyoya said, walking out of the host club. Tamaki followed, along with Haruhi. As I was walking out, I saw Mori-Senpai out of the corner of my eye picking something up off of the windowsill. He looked around, and then stuck the small object into his pocket. Hunny asked him what it was, but I was too far away to hear Mori's response.
I walked outside to the courtyard. Our limo wasn't outside, not much to my surprise.
How selfish, he just leaves without me..
I whipped out my cellphone and called the house. I told the maid who picked up the phone to send another limo to get me at the school. After I hung up, I sat down on the cold concrete. I wish I knew Dani's number, I would call him and ask I could come over and apologize...
The limo rolled up a few minutes later and as I got in, I found someone else in the back.
Hikaru.
He looked up at me, and then quickly started to look out of the window. I sat down next to him.
I'm a little afraid to to talk to him, I don't want him to blow up again...
I sat next to him, unable to find the words to talk to my older brother. Suddenly he spoke up
"I didn't mean it Kaoru... I'm sorry.."
"I know you didn't, but it isn't me you should be apologizing to.." I replied.
Silence...
Finally, I got the courage to ask..
"Why do you hate Dani so much...?" I asked timidly, bracing myself for whatever may happen...
He sniffed, then finally turned towards me. His nose and eyes were red, as if he had been crying.
"He likes her Kaoru, I can see it.. And I think Haruhi likes him back."
Well, I wasn't expecting that answer...
" So... You don't like Dani... Because... you're jealous of him?" I asked, finally putting the pieces together...
" I guess... Do you see it too?" he asked me..
"See what?"
"The way her face brightens up when he talks to her... How happy she looks when he's around. And now that he knows that Haruhi is a girl They might start liking each other.."
"Hikaru I think you might be overreacting.."
"All I want is for Haruhi to look at me like that..." he said sadly.
I put my arm around Hikaru's shoulders and gave him a hug. I guess I could see where Hikaru was coming from. Dani has very sweet to Haruhi, and now that the secret it out, it could lead to... something more...
"Hikaru, I understand you're upset, but if Haruhi wants to be with Dani, and Dani wants to be with Haruhi, you can't do anything to stop it."
" I know..." he said quietly.
" We have to apologize to him tomorrow." I said.
He didn't reply... I could tell what he was thinking though.
"I know you feel like you didn't do anything wrong, but you did. You made Dani upset with your threat to hit him with the bat. Whether you like it or not, we're apologizing tomorrow. Okay?"
There was a long silence.. Finally I heard Hikaru say. " Fine, but I won't like it."
" You don't have to like it, dummy, no one likes admitting that they were wrong. Just make it sound sincere.."
There was another long silence. I was still holding Hikaru in my arms, when we pulled into our driveway, he spoke up.
"Yanno Dani slapped me in the dressing room.."
"Yeah. Kyoya told us. Did he apologize?"
" Well, no. But that isn't the point. I confronted him about being able to tell us apart, then I grabbed his arm and shook him a little because he wasn't responding. Suddenly, he got this scared look in his eyes. I've never seen anything like it, it was... the look of pure and utter terror. Then he smacked me as hard as he could and yelled at me..."
Hikaru, you just seem to make it hard for this kid to get on good terms with you...
" So you lied to everyone..." I said, removing my arms from him and crossing them over my chest.
"It sounds worse when you put it like that." he replied sadly, turning away from me.
"I guess you have to apologize for multiple things tomorrow.." I said back.
" I don't wanna talk about it anymore." he said suddenly, exiting the car and running up to the house. I followed him slowly inside and I heard the sound of thunder far in the distance..
Hikaru's POV
I had a restless right sleep. My thoughts were keeping me awake. The rain poured outside, as lightning and thunder played in the sky. I replayed the scene from that day over and over again. I wasn't seeing the problem at first, I kept seeing it from my point of view: Haruhi was exposed, and this guy we barely know just walked in on her and acted like nothing happened. I pulled out the bat to intimidate him a little, not actually going to hit him with it. I replayed it several times in my head as I listened to the rain pour down outside. After replaying the scene again and again in my head, I noticed something I didn't notice until just now...
Fear.
Helplessness.
Sadness.
The look in Dani's eyes was the same as in the dressing room.
I sat up straight in bed, and clutched my head.
You idiot... You really did scare him... I think I brought up some bad memories or something.. Dani didn't understand you weren't going to hit him, only you and Kaoru did... Nobody understood your intentions... It was too much...
God I look like an asshole...
Then I remembered the things I said about and to Dani and to the rest of the host club..
Yeah...Scratch that... I don't look like an asshole. I AM an asshole. The biggest asshole ever... I'm going to apologize to Dani and Haruhi as soon as I see them in class...
I turned over and look at Kaoru. He looked so peaceful sleeping. I wish I could do the same tonight...
NEXT DAY
I arrived at school, prepared to apologize. But when I walked into class, Dani had a different idea... He was completely passed out. I tried to wake him up when I got to school. I tried to shake him awake but Karou told me to not be rude and let him sleep.
Damn his shoulder is burning! I wonder if he's sick.. I'm guessing he didn't have a very goodnight sleep either... I wonder how long he's been here, he usually comes in at the last minute.
I sat in my desk, waiting for Haruhi to arrive. I was ready to apologize to her. As soon as I saw Haruhi walked in the door I sprang out of my seat and ran to her, attacking her in a hug.
"Haruhi! I'm so sorry I was so rude to you yesterday! Please forgive me I won't ever yell at you again! I was wrong! I was so wrong!" I said really fast. I heard the girls cooing behind us about how "sweet and caring I was being towards Haruhi" I didn't care, I was just praying that Haruhi would forgive me.
"Umm... Hello to you too Hikaru. I forgive you, but shouldn't you be saying this to Dani?" She replied in an irritated tone.
"I would have apologize already, but he's been asleep even since we've got here." I said, pointing to his sleeping figure on the desk.
"That's weird... I'll talk to him when he wakes up." she said, going to sit next to him. She tapped him a few times. Then lightly shook him. She turned to me and Kaoru, " Nothing. Out like a light."
Suddenly, the bell rang, and the sleeping boy shot up like a bullet. I started to laugh, but I got a glare from my brother and Haruhi. I didn't mean to laugh, but it just looked super funny! I didn't get a good look at him, but from Haruhi's reaction, he wasn't looking to hot.
Jesus, I'm a monster...
TIME LAPSE WOOOO
After school, I apologized again to Haruhi and then the host club, now all I have to do is apologize to Dani and we should be all good in the Host Club! I expect him to be angry, so I prepared myself for whatever he might do.
You gonna beat me up? Scream at me? Give me your worse Dani, I'm ready..
But I should have prepared myself for a much different reaction..
Dani didn't seem fazed by the events from yesterday... He came in smiling at everyone and waved to all of us! I wasn't expecting this...
How could he be so freaking calm about this? Is it just an act? What is wrong with this guy?
AFTER THE HOST CLUB OMGGGG
Dani was still as happy as ever. She was happy during the host club and happy as he cleaned up his mess. I honestly don't understand him...
HOW IS HE NOT BREATHING FIRE AND DAMNING THIS PLACE TO HELL?
I later saw Hunny apologize to Dani, who took his apology and told him he wasn't mad...
Hunny barely did anything to Dani and Dani forgave him... Would he even forgive me if I apologized?
Kyoya then made Tamaki apologize. He was dramatic and overcome with emotions as usual. Dani wasn't even mad! And even laughed when Tamaki picked him up and swung him around!
Kaoru apologized next. He was obviously struggling, but he got the words out. She smiled and told him not to worry about
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HE IS NOT MAD. I did the worse things to him, there's no way he'll forgive me...
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on me.
Shit.. I can't d this.. I don't even know what to say!
More silence
I was so prepared this morning. God, why can't I say anything to him!?
"Thank you Tamaki and Kaoru.. That took balls, but I gotta go to work now! See ya later
FUUUUUUCCCCCCC-
I felt everyone glare at me, sweat started to form on the back of my neck. Their looks screamed COWARD...
Before Dani walked away, words slipped from my mouth.
"Wait Dani.."
He turned around and gave me a blank stare. Everyone was staring at me.
Oh God oh God oh God... I didn't mean to talk.. What do I say now? What do it so.. Don't panic.. Just.. Speak from the heart..
"I... Uh-well... Dani... I'm.. Im sorry.. For yesterday.. And the day before... Im.. Im just an ass..." I finally was able to say.
Wow Hikaru.. Smooth... That sounded totally sentimental.
Dani suddenly got so awkward. He thanked me and then walked away. He didn't exactly forgive me... But at least he acknowledged me..
Damn it! I feel like shit... Why couldn't I give him a full apology?
Kaoru pulled me aside after Dani walked away. He looked ticked.
He was talking to me, but I didn't hear a word he said. I was looking at Dani. I wasn't angry with him as much anymore, just... More confused. I didn't know how I felt about him anymore.
"Okay, Hikaru?" Kaoru said, finished lecturing me on whatever he was talking about.
"Oh, yeah.. Sure." I said back, still watching Dani.
I saw Mori grab Dani before he left and gave him a small object out of his pocket... A key? Dani proceeded to freak out and took the key from Mori...
Suddenly, Kaoru turned away from me and asked how he got into his house without the key.
I got lost within myself. I was mad at myself and confused about how I felt. I don't think I hate him but... I just don't know.
Then I hear Dani say something about how he slept outside... Wasn't it storming last night?
Then, everyone was giving him a big hug... I just sort of stood to the side. I didn't feel like I deserved to give him a hug.
"We're a family, Dani. We look out for each other.." Tamaki said.
Everyone released Dani from the group hug. He was smiling at everyone, but he didn't look too good. All the color drained from his face, and in a matter of seconds, he dropped to the floor..
"DANI!" Everyone yelled in Unison.
Well, I believe that was an educational chapter! We learned why Hikaru does not like Dani and how he is feeling now. Hooray! I hope that cleared things up. Next chapter is coming up soon!
Guys... It is super freaking hard to write on an iPad...Oh well
First world problems...
BYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEE.
