The Mysterious Type

Heart Attack

as i walked through he crowd of girls who where trying to talk to me i lifted my headphones and put them on. my happiness had diminished some when i noticed koaru had seen me watching hikaru. boys with girlfriends by meiko was playing as i glanced at hikaru and koaru. both of them where scanning the crowd and hikaru's eyes lit up when we made eye contact. i forced a smile to him and ducked out of view. heading instead to the water line to sit by myself.

 after sitting for about five minutes i got back up and went to kyoya. "hey, where can i change to swim?" i asked looking to the side slightly. he pointed to the left and said "we have a tent set up for those who need to change over there." i nodded and grabbed my bag before going into the tent. i changed my shorts first, as i was pulling off my shirt though the tent opened and hikaru came in with koaru doing some weird soldier look out thing. i felt my face heat up as it turned completely red at the fact that hikaru had just walked in on me changing. 

quickly i grabbed my other shirt but he put a hand out to stop me as he stared at the bandages across my chest. "Dakota, did your dad hurt you that bad?" he asked slowly. i looked down and was grateful for the fact that he couldn't see my boobs. but what could i say about it? i stared at my feet for a little while keeping my mouth closed. should i just tell him? it would make life a whole lot easier on me. 

i debated for a few minutes before looking up at him with determination on my face as i said in a cold voice "its none of your business. ive already trusted you more than i should. im not going to tell you this." then i jerked out of his hand and put my band shirt on before storming out of the tent. i went straight to the water and swam as far out into the ocean as i could then just floated on my back and stared at the sky for what felt like forever.

 how could i just tell him that im girl? people never look at me right after i tell them. hell some even used me to their advantage. i felt a sigh escape my lips when i noticed the sun going down. as i swam back i scanned the shore line. the whole host club was waiting on me to swim back. i hesitated and treaded water for a few minutes. what do i do if they all confront me? i wasn't sure.

 i continued on my way to the club members, my heart pounding at the realization that my bandages had loosened somewhat and my shirt was sticking to every curve of my body. i said nothing to them as i came out of the water and kyoya handed me a towel. i put it over my head and scrubbed my hair before letting it hang over my shoulders. i looked up at them through my messy bangs and was surprised to see the hurt looks on their faces. 

i felt horrible for keeping my secret from them, but it only made me madder at hikaru for pushing to find out. "im sorry Dakota but we need to know what's under those bandages." tamaki started. i held my hand up silencing him from saying anything further. i was pissed and hurt that they didn't trust me to tell them in my own time or not tell them if i so choose. 

so with the anger i spoke "no you don't. you want to know. there's a difference in need and want tamaki. not that i expect you stupid rich people to understand. my bandages have nothing to with you and if i wanted you to know i would tell you." i then turned to hikaru and i could feel my anger turn to pure hurt as i said "i trusted you hikaru, not to say anything about any of it. i guess i was wrong to do that. i thought you trusted me too. i thought you might care just enough to let me tell you eventually. you just ruined that. i don't want to stay with you anymore. i don't want to stay with any of you if you're going to try to force me to tell you stuff i'm not ready to talk about." then i turned and stomped towards the road.

 "Wait!" hikaru called running after me "where are you going to go?" he asked with worry etched on his face. i didn't look his way knowing i might break if i did as i said "none of your concern. don't follow me." i quickly grabbed my bag and phone before walking down the road.

^-^ Hikaru's pov ^-^

i watched as Dakota disappeared down the road. i shouldn't have broke down and told koaru. i turned sharply and glared at my brother. "This is all your fault!" i shouted. anger was coursing through my veins and i knew it was because i was hurt that dakota left me. "all you had to do was keep your damn mouth shut koaru!" he looked shocked as everyone including him stared at me with wide eyes. 

this was the first time i had ever truly gotten mad at koaru. i had never raised my voice and yelled at him before. i grit my teeth and clenched my fist before yelling "you're so stupid koaru! now he's gone and he has no one to rely on. no one to help him through the night when he's scared. what are we going to do if something happens to him?" i almost didn't realize i had started to cry. 

koaru ran forward and threw his arms around me as i broke down in sobs. koaru looked up at the others and said slowly "guys, i think hikaru...is in love with Dakota." everyone stared at us in shock as i sat in the sand in koarus arms. my tears had stopped and i felt dead inside as i stared vacantly at the waves of the ocean. "s-so he's...gay?" tamaki squeaked. koaru shook his head slowly before saying "i don't think so. hasn't anyone else noticed how much like haruhi Dakota is?" everyone stared at koaru in confusion. before haruhi said in surprise "he doesn't have an Adams apple!"

 koaru laughed and said "yeah but he has curves that men just don't have. his eyes scream 'im a girl' and his voice when he is singing is way too high to be a male." i looked up at koaru in slight surprise. "you noticed all of that and didn't tell me before?" koaru gave me a slightly annoyed look before saying "i didn't notice you liked her until you told me earlier. that's why i brought it up. im pretty sure its boobs she's hiding with those bandages and i was worried you would go crazy thinking you were gay if you didn't find out soon. i mean, it's hardly been a month and look at yourself." i looked down in shame.

 that's when the first drop of rain hit my cheek. i looked up at the sky and saw the dark clouds then looked at haruhi. "you guys need to get her inside." i said as i stood up and dusted my shorts off. "where are you going to go hika-chan?" honey asked i glanced at koaru who nodded to me before taking off in the direction Dakota had gone. "he's going after Dakota." koaru said almost sadly.
