Howdy! (hehehhehehehehehh I managed to update how awesome am I) so yeah I've been studying all week and it has been a MASSIVE PAIN IN MY ASSSSS. But yeah I promised a chapter this week so yay! ALSO I'll try and look this chapter over because usually I just type it all up and post it immediately so I'll look for any spelling mistakes (even if that means I have to look over my pooey writing UGH) so yay! enjoy!
"You are such an asshole." I grumble, walking alongside a very smug Kyoya, who has been bragging about his victory to the other host club members, who all seem to be laughing with him, and laughing at me. "It isn't nice to play with other people's feeling, Kyoya Senpai" Haruhi said sternly, I smile at her in appreciation, Haruhi has been backing me up recently when the guys get on my nerves. which is a lot.
"We don't mean to be rude! it was just funny that Kyoya even made a joke!" Hunni giggled, nudging Mori who grunted in agreement. "I always thought Kyoya's idea of a joke was sending you the wrong homework or something, huh, the joke wasn't far off that I guess" Hikaru commented, he was walking a little bit faster than the rest of us. why wasn't he walking with Kaoru?
I turned my head, Kaoru was trailing behind us, staring off into space. Come to think of it, he has been like that all day, looking anywhere except forward. He looked a little different too, his hair was ever so slightly messy and his usually immaculately pressed trousers were crinkled. This would be ok if it was anyone except Kaoru, his mum works in fashion for gods sake!
I hold back a little bit, falling into pace with him, he still doesn't notice. "Kaoru, you doing ok?" I asked, uncertain if he wanted to be left alone or not. He snapped out of his daze, his eyes widening as he realized I was right next to him. "Oh! sorry Chi, I- well I was just in a daydream" he said, giving me a warm smile.
I really haven't spoken to him in ages, but despite that fact, he still feels so familiar
"What were you daydreaming about?" I asked, nudging him a little, he chuckled nervously, clearly trying to avoid eye contact. "Well, I was just thinking that you'll have to dance with someone at the party right?" he asked
"Probably, I mean it is a party?" I say uncertainly, I kinda know where he's going with this.. Is he asking me if I want to dance with him? because surely he would ask me at the actual par-
"I'm guessing you'll dance with this Ian person right?"
Huh?
I stop and look at him, he takes a few steps before also stopping, I notice Haruhi glancing back at us, but she seems to get the picture and ushers the others away, leaving us alone in the large, echoey hallway. "Well, I guess I will dance with him, but I want you to know tha-" I start, but he interrupts
"So do you like this guy?" he asks, his eyes widen slightly, he looks very concerned
"No! no, he's my ex boyfriend, from a long, long time ago" I say quickly, I don't want Kaoru to get the wrong idea, if he gets the wrong idea, then... what would happen? would he go and find someone else? well, I don't know if he even is waiting for me, oh god, what if he doesn't like me?
"Ah right" he says, he breathes a sigh of relief, then gives me one of those trademark grins, his face flushed slightly pink, "does that mean it's ok for me to dance with you?" he asks hopefully
Oh you cute little shit
How do I respond, yeah act cool
"Ok" I squeak, flushing red and cursing at myself for sounding like a kid with a crush. Probably because I am a kid with a crush, a massive crush. A huge goddamn crush.
"I mean, I have things to deal with related to Ian, but, it's more a... closure kind of thing" I say, looking him directly in the eye, hoping that he will know that this means
I'm getting closure so I can date you, I mean, if you want.
Kaoru smiles at me, "well, I'll be there anytime, just drag me onto the dance floor when you're ready" he says, putting his hands in his pockets and glancing outside the window, where the large clocktower looms over the school, his face changes from calm to panic within a nanosecond "Crap!" he exclaims, "we'll be late for class!" he quickly grabs hold of my hand, and I'm pulled down he hall, we run up numerous flights of stairs, with both of us knowing that we are so going to be late for class.
Not that I minded, of course
Teeny tiny bit of fluff to just get you through studies! I should be studying right now, in fact my parents have been saying all day how I have been hard at work on the computer all day when I have actually just been watching reruns of friends (I am going to FAIL) so yeah, hope this gave you a wee break :)
