Don't Speak (OHSHC)

Chapter 5

I let out a sigh as I held my phone close, my hands shaking. I just got a text from Haruhi saying to meet him in the changing room nearest to the Music Room.

I looked up at the doors leading to that very room. I was nervous. Was this him trying to get Mori and I alone? Or was this a completely different matter?

Only one way to find out.

I slipped my phone into my pocket as I pushed the door open. I was greeted with silence and an empty room. I walked further in and looked around. There was nothing here. Was it all a joke? Are they finally taking advantage of me?

I bit my lip as my head began to spin with all the memories I had, making me assume so many things. Tears stung my eyes as I thought about it more.

I turned to the door, ready to leave the room after ten minutes. The handle jiggled and the door swung open as Mori was pushed in. Haruhi stood at the door and said something before closing it and leaving. I quickly wiped the tears away as Mori looked over at me. He tilted his head as he crouched down to my level.

'Are you okay?' He asked in sign. 'Your eyes are a bit puffy.'

I nodded. 'What did Haruhi want?'

'He said that I needed to stay here and talk with you.' Mori signed with a confused look. 'I'm not allowed to leave. Do you know what he's talking about?'

I looked down as a small blush began to form. 'Not really.'

Mori nodded as he looked at the door. 'What should we do, then?'

I shrugged. 'I guess hang out in here for a while and pretend we did it?'

Mori nodded. 'Good idea.'

He stood and walked over to a changing room. He sat on one of the benches and I sat next to him. What should I say? What should I do? All Haruhi said was to just talk to him. Talk to him about what? Space? I can do that. I know space.

I waved and Mori looked at me. 'Do you want to know what my favourite planet is?' Mori shrugged and nodded. 'Uranus.'

What the heck?! I stole Caleb's pickup line?! What is wrong with me?!

Mori let out a chuckle. 'That's a good one.' Oh thank the God. 'Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I smile.'

I blushed and smiled as I prepared a comeback. 'Do you have a band-aid? Because I scrapped my knee falling for you.'

Mori smiled as he replied. 'If you were a vegetable, you'd be a cute-cumber.'

I couldn't help but giggle. We spent a lot of our time just swapping cheesy pickup lines. I was surprised to know that Mori know so many. A guy like him, I would not expect it. Still, it was a lot of fun. I wished it lasted a bit longer, but Mori had something to say.

'I have a question.' He signed, catching me slightly off guard.

'What is it?' I asked

'What do you think of me?'

My face reddened and I looked down. Now is my chance to confess, but what if I'm not ready? What if he denied me? What if everything goes terribly wrong? I know. I'll just play it cool.

I looked back up at him. 'I'd say you're a very attractive person and any one would be lucky to have you.' Nailed it.

'So if I were to ask you out, would you say yes?' Mori asked.

What the?! Is he going to ask me out? Am I in luck??

'Well, I don't know.' I signed as my face burned. 'Maybe. Are you asking?'

Mori shrugged as he blushed as well. 'I don't know. Maybe.' He smiled and I swore I was going to have a heart  attack. 'Would you like to go out with me Friday night?'

He did it. He finally asked me out my dream of a few days as finally been fulfilled.

I nodded and smiled like a goof. Mori smiled back.

'Good.' He signed. 'I pick you up around eight?' I nodded happily. Mori smiled more before he started to sign again. 'Great, I'll see you then?'

I nodded again. Mori smiled and grabbed my hand, kissing the back of my fingers before he got up and left. I watched as he opened the door and waved one last time to me and left. Once I was alone, I let out a giggle and covered my face.

Did that just happen? It did. It actually happened. Mori asked me out. We have a date and everything. I was beyond excited and relieved all at once. I thought that he would be too focused on Hunni to even like me. Looks like I was wrong.

After relishing in my giddy self, I finally stood and began to exit the room. I was met with the aight of a smiling Haruhi.

"What did I tell you?" He asked.

I smiled widely as I realised what he just did for me. Tears of joy welled up in my eyes and I hugged him tightly, burring my face in his chest. I felt his chest rumble as he said something, but I didn't know what it was. I had a friend I could trust.

Hey guys!

I know these two have been done pretty quick, but don't get comfortable with it. I'm still unsure as how fast I can update this book.

Once again, don't comment "please update" and let me do it at my own pace. See you all in the next chapter.

Ciao~
