One of Us (Hitachiin Twins)

One of Us 20

"Hey, do you want to go out tomorrow?" She was interrupted by Hikaru. She shot him a questioning look and seemed totally surprised.

"N-not like a date or anything, but I just think I need to get to know you better." He stuttered, blushing. Kaoru smiled and raised his hand.

"The day after you can go out with me. We all need one on one time with each other." He said. Hikaru put an arm around him and smiled bigger.

"It's good for us to explore new things."

The next day, Haruhi woke up with an empty, guilty feeling in the pit of her stomach. She had decided she would go on dates with the twins, but then break the news about Tamaki right after. No more secrets.

A short dress was hanging on her closet doorknob. The dress was white with small red flowers covering every inch of it. There was a collar and a flouncy bow near the neckline, and it was complete with a thin brown belt. Pretty brown heels that matched the belt were right underneath it.

Haruhi stood up and walked over to it. Kaoru had probably put it there earlier for her to wear on the date. The full outfit screamed: HIKARU! In flashing colors. He would love it.

After she had tightened the belt and slipped on the heels, Haruhi looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair needed to be brushed. It was growing longer, and she had nice long side bangs that she could pull behind her ears.

"Haruhi!" She heard someone knocking on the door and went to unlock it. Kaoru was there, and he seemed really excited about something.

"Great! You look beautiful. Hikaru is going to love you in that dress!" He gushed, admiring her. Haruhi drew back self-consciously and pulled her arms over her chest.

"I'm anything but beautiful, but thank you. Where's Hikaru?" She asked. Kaoru yawned.

"He's getting ready. I just came to check on you." He said sweetly. Her heart fluttered a little. He was so kind.

"Thanks," She replied. "What will you do all day by yourself?"

"I'll watch Tv. Take a day to just lounge around or something." He shrugged and scratched the back of his head. He did look like he was planning on doing nothing the entire day. He was wearing a tight white V-neck and baggy black sweatpants. He had an adorable bed head, and a tired smile on his face.

"Cool..." She steped out of her room and led the way to the elevator. Kaoru stepped inside of it and pressed the "down" button.

"So what should I expect today?" Haruhi asked him. "Where are we going?"

She didn't expect much. After all, she had quit her job at Cafe a few days back because of school and lack of free time so she couldn't afford anything for herself. Hopefully he wasn't taking her anywhere expensive.

"I think you're just going out for food or something. Maybe you'll see a movie if anything good is playing. It'll be crowded there though, because it's raining." Kaoru explained. He was so laid back about everything, and Haruhi had to admire him for that.

"Okay, sounds good." She sighed deeply, stretching her arm over her head. "Remind me to take a coat."

Kaoru smirked slightly, but then nodded.

Hikaru was pacing in his room, wondering why he had even asked Haruhi out in the first place. What was he supposed to say or do? Where would they even go? He was a helpless romantic... Wait, it wasn't even a date! Why was he so stressed?!
