Senpai Notice me (a KyoKao story)

Chapter 2

Kaoru's Point of View:

Hikaru and I went home that day feeling rather anxious. I have to admit that I feel incredibly tense after the incident with Kyoya-Senpai. I do have a thing for him, but I would probably die of embarrassment if he found out. There is no way he would accept me. It wouldn't benefit him at all to be in a relationship with me, so he wouldn't get with me. Hikaru is right, we should just stay together because no one will accept us properly. As the boss has called us many times, we are just 'dopple-gangers'. The only person who can tell us apart is Haruhi and their is no chance of Hikaru getting with her, not with the boss being as over protective of her as he is. Hikaru has been awfully quiet since we got home. I hope he is okay, I don't want him to be upset with me.

Hikaru's Point of View:

I have something I need to tell Kaoru about Haruhi, but I can't tell him without acting like a huge hypocrite. Basically, when Haruhi was talking to me, I laid a kiss on her cheek. It wasn't a kiss like I'd usually give because I wasn't teasing her. I generally meant that kiss, and I knew she could tell.

For once, her cheeks tinted slightly red. The only response, however, that I got to the kiss was:

"We should go back, you need to apologise to Kaoru" Why do I feel so rotten now? It almost feels like Haruhi has rejected me, but for her to reject me she would have to had said something. I am going to be brutally honest though, I am in love with Haruhi Fujioka.

Kyoya's Point of View:

I sat in my room doing homework. My chest hurt a great deal and I was trying ever so hard not to get emotional. My sister was here with her husband and I really didn't want either of them to see me in such a pathetic weak state. That would be awful and embarrassing. Fuyumi hasn't changed at all since she married: she is still the type of person to take one thing out from my draw and in order to put it back has to pull out fifty other things to fit it in. Honestly, I wish she would just leave it to the maids.

"Key Kyoya." She spoke, "Who is Kaoru?" I looked at her. How did she know his name? It's not as though I talk about the Host Club at home. My father would never accept it.

"He is just a friend from school, why do you ask?" She giggled at me.

"More than just a friend I think." She says. I start to wonder what she meant but then I looked down at what I had been writing. Kaoru's name must have been written down about twenty times on my work in different sizes. What is getting into me? I crumpled up the paper and threw it in the bin, sighing after I did so.

"Fuyumi..." I started but I had to think carefully about what I was going to say, she already thinks something is going on between me and Kaoru. "What does it mean when your chest hurts?" She looked at me. Once again she tittered.

"Oh Kyoya, your chest is going to hurt if you're in love." She explained. But, I am not in love. There is no one that I love. Nor will their probably ever be. "I was in pain as well with my chest when I fell in love."

"Love doesn't benefit me at all, so I doubt that I am in love. Thank you for your input though, even if it was a load of nonsense and gibberish."

"And that is why your chest hurts, Kyoya. The only way to stop the pain is to accept that you're in love and tell this Kaoru person how you feel." I closed my notepad when she said this and went to lay on my bed. I refuse to believe that I am in love.

I laid in bed thinking. I was just thinking about how awful I felt when Kaoru was crying, and how awful I felt when I upset him evenmpre. Would it be bad if I opened myself up to him more, rather than only thinking about the Host Club when near him? It wouldn't be too bad but if I did that then I would also have to open up the idea that I am in love with him. What would it be like if I asked Kaoru out? What would it be like if we were a couple? Would my father accept it? Perhaps I should do it just to see his reaction. Would he be proud of having a sexuality that surprised him?

In the end I decided to give it a go and texted Kaoru. I would have called, but I don't trust Hikaru not to listen in and I wanted this to be private. Of course by now I had figured out who Kaoru liked, which is why I knew he'd say yes. If my father disapproves of this, am I going to stay with him regardless? I am being too reckless right now. I am jumping into a situation without first knowing how it will end. I am acting just like Tamaki. And you know what, I don't like it very much, even if it does kind of fill me with a sense of excitement. I can garentee that this is the last time I will act so recklessly.

Kaoru's Point of View:

I got the text from Kyoya. He was asking me to meet him tomorrow alone. Well, not exactly meet him, he wanted me to go to his house but I wasn't to bring Hikaru, so what did I do to make sure I was going to be alone? I texted Haruhi asking her to hang out with Hikaru for the day. I didn't tell her why I didn't want to stay with him, but she didn't need that information. She accepted and a few moments later she called Hikaru. She actually surprised me as I listened to their conversation.

"Hi Haruhi." Hikaru spoke into the phone, "What is it?"

"Hey, I was just wondering if tomorrow you wanted to go on a date?" That was the bit that shocked me. Hikaru's eyes widened as if they were going to pop out of his face.

"Yeah, I can do that." His speech was slightly stammered. I chuckled a bit. They arranged a place and time to meet. This was Hikaru's second date ever. The first one was the one I forced him to go on. I remember that. It ended nicely and he calmed down with Arai. I remember watching everyone with the watermelon. Just me and Kyoya on the balcony. That was one of the rare occasions that I got to be alone with Kyoya-Senpai. But, tomorrow I get to be alone with him, in his house. I don't know how I can contain my excitement.

"Hey Kaoru, will you be alright on your own tomorrow? I've got a date." Hikaru asked with a huge grin on his face. I think it's kind of sweet that he would ask that. It means he cares and doesn't want to leave me on my own if I wasn't going to be okay.

"I'll be alright, I have my day planned anyway." I almost told him about Kyoya, but I remembered that Kyoya wanted this to be just between me and him.

"Oh? What will you be doing?" Hikaru asked. I came up with a clever lie.

"I thought I might check out a commoner's clothing store."

"Awe, but I wanted to do that with you." Hikaru complained.

"Well tough luck," I laughed a little, "You have a date. Are we going to go to bed? I'm getting really tired." I headed to the bedroom and stripped to my boxers. I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight throughout all the excitement.

Hikaru's Point of View:

Kaoru was hiding something, I could tell, but I wasn't going to question him about it. He seemed excited and I was happy to see him like that. Besides, I'm also excited as well. I am going on a date with Haruhi. I wonder how well this will go. Wait, if this goes bad will she hate me forever? I really hope she doesn't. She is my best friend other than Kaoru.

Needless to say, I panicked all night and got no sleep. I maybe got two hours and when the maids came in to wake us up for breakfast, Kaoru was on his phone texting. I wonder who he was talking to. Today could go either way. It will either be the best saturday of my life, or the worst. Either way, at least Kaoru is happy right now. After yesterday, seeing him cry, I am glad he has a smile on his face today.
